Dr. Ayşenur Şam Sarı

Dr. Ayşenur Şam Sarı is a dermatologist at Acibadem Atasehir Hospital in İstanbul, where she works in the hospital’s Dermatology unit. Her practice covers both medical and aesthetic skin concerns, including pigmentation problems, active acne, and age-related skin changes, alongside procedural treatments such as botulinum toxin applications, dermal filler applications, fractional laser treatment, and gold needle treatment. She has more than ten years of experience in medicine.

Dr. Sarı completed her medical degree at Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine in 2016. She then undertook specialty training in Dermatology and Venereal Diseases at Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital, which she completed in 2021. In 2024 she joined Acıbadem Healthcare Services.

Clinical focus

Dr. Sarı’s clinical work spans medical and aesthetic dermatology. In medical dermatology, she provides active acne treatment, in which the type and severity of the acne, its duration, and any previous treatments are assessed before a plan is discussed. She also offers pigmentation treatment for uneven skin tone and pigmented spots. Because skin conditions and skin types vary considerably between individuals, treatment is adapted to each patient’s presentation, history, and goals rather than following a single standard approach.

In aesthetic and procedural dermatology, her areas of expertise include botulinum toxin applications, dermal filler applications, fractional laser treatment, gold needle treatment, and anti-aging care. Each of these procedures has specific indications and limitations, and Dr. Sarı reviews whether a given option is suitable for the patient’s skin and expectations before it is carried out. As part of this discussion, patients are informed about what the procedure involves, the expected recovery, and possible side effects, so that decisions can be made with realistic expectations.

How Dr. Sarı works with international patients

Dr. Sarı consults in Turkish and English, and interpreters can be arranged for patients who speak other languages. Before a visit, the Acibadem international patient team coordinates the collection of prior reports, for example previous dermatology notes, laboratory and pathology results, and any relevant imaging, and arranges appointments and the hospital visit. A first consultation typically covers the patient’s history and symptoms, a review of previous treatments and existing reports, a clinical examination of the skin, and a discussion of the available options. The exact scope of each consultation depends on the patient’s individual concerns. Video consultation is also available for international patients, which may be helpful for an initial discussion of skin concerns before travelling.
