Enzymatic Peeling
Renewing Your Skin Without Overstripping It: A Gentle Yet Effective Transformation
Peeling treatments are often the first step for many people who want to renew their skin. However, the peeling, redness and sensitivity caused by classic chemical peels can sometimes be worrying, especially for fine, delicate skin. At this point, enzymatic peeling stands out as a gentle yet effective alternative.
At her practice in Nişantaşı, Dr. Nur Bayraktar uses enzymatic peeling to deliver visible radiance and smoothness without disrupting the structure of sensitive skin or overloading the tissue.
This treatment is ideal for those seeking renewal that respects the skin barrier.
What Is Enzymatic Peeling? How Does It Differ from Chemical Peeling?
Enzymatic peeling is a skin-renewal method that uses natural ingredients such as fruit enzymes and botanical extracts to gently remove dead skin cells.
While chemical peels work with acids like AHA/BHA, enzymatic peeling provides a more controlled and superficial exfoliation. This means:
- Less sensitivity
- Less peeling
- A quick return to daily life with no real downtime
- Compatibility with all skin types
Dr. Bayraktar especially prefers this treatment in the summer months or to prepare the skin before procedures such as laser or mesotherapy.

What Does It Do for the Skin?
- More even skin tone
- Radiance for dull-looking skin
- Tightening of enlarged pores
- Softening of fine lines
- Smoother texture for better makeup application
- A cleansed base that allows active ingredients to penetrate more effectively
Enzymatic peeling can be performed as a standalone treatment, but it is often more effective when used as the first step in combined skin-renewal protocols.
What Is the Treatment Process Like?
- After a skin analysis, the appropriate product is selected
- The facial area is gently cleansed
- The enzyme-containing mask or solution is applied to the skin
- After the recommended waiting time, the product is removed
- The treatment is usually completed with a moisturizer and sunscreen
The entire process takes about 20–30 minutes. Post-treatment redness is minimal. The skin appears fresher and more revitalized immediately after the session.
Who Is It Suitable For?
- Those with sensitive skin who still want a peeling effect
- Individuals with low tolerance to chemical peels
- Those who want to begin skincare with more natural ingredients
- Those who wish to support the skin barrier during seasonal transitions
- Those looking to prepare their skin for more intensive procedures
Enzymatic peeling can be applied with tailored formulations for different skin concerns. For this reason, skin type and needs are analyzed beforehand and products are selected individually.
Skin Renewal Is Not a Race, but a Process of Harmony
Enzymatic peeling chooses to be gentle with your skin. It does not overstrain, suppress or force it to change. It simply reorganizes, allowing it to breathe again.
Dr. Nur Bayraktar’s approach to this treatment:
→ Supporting your skin’s natural rhythm without pushing it beyond its limits.
