Who is facial cleansing recommended for?

If you have normal skin, it is enough to cleanse your face once a month. For oily and problem skin, facial cleansing should be done more often - once every 7-10 days. And dry skin, with proper and regular home care, requires professional facial cleansing only once every 3-4 months.

For eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and allergic reactions. Use with caution in case of allergies, hormonal dependence, psoriasis and eczema. And during heat and severe frosts, only gentle types of facial cleansing are carried out.
On the contrary, ultrasonic facial cleansing may be indicated for those who have medical contraindications to mesotherapy.
Summer peelings (all-season)
Summer peels are a very demanding procedure for post-peeling care. Because in summer the sun is very active. Accordingly, most peels cannot be done in the summer, while others can be done under certain conditions, and only with proper post-peeling care.
The main recommendation when carrying out peelings is to avoid periods of increased solar activity, because... the protective layer of the skin becomes thinner. Which leads to increased sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.
Also, when the upper layers of facial skin are damaged, cells producing the melanin pigment are activated, and this leads to the risk of pigmentation disorders.
For people with a seborrheic constitution, with thick, porous and oily skin, regular peeling is recommended, even in summer. This helps them maintain healthy looking skin. And for this, the most superficial peeling (at the level of the stratum corneum) is sufficient, without affecting the skin barrier.
In these cases, preparations with AHA acids in low concentrations, salicylic, lactic, almond or ferulic peels are sufficient. There is also a need to prescribe deeper peels. These are chrono- and photoaging, rosacea, acne and post-acne. And for many people, summer, as the holiday season, is the only opportunity to conduct a peeling course.
Concluding the above, it should be noted that it is very important during the period of peeling in the summer and for 3-4 weeks afterward, you must constantly use sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 30, and in some cases even 50. Do not sunbathe during periods of active sun, do not visit the solarium and, under no circumstances, do not get sunburned. Remember that sunscreens wash off with water, even waterproof ones must be reapplied several times a day.
Types of facial cleansing
At the Centers OK! You can take a course of ultrasonic cleaning, mechanical and manual (manual) facial cleansing.
The cosmetologist decides which facial cleansing is best for you after assessing the condition of your skin. But manual facial cleansing is considered the most effective. It is especially recommended for those with combination and oily skin. If your skin is normal or dry. If there is very little contamination, then ultrasonic facial cleansing will be quite sufficient.
Ultrasonic facial cleansing
Its effect is based on the properties of ultrasound (ultra short waves).
The procedure is very gentle, allows for deep cleansing of the face, effectively freeing the skin of impurities and toxins, sebum. Ultrasonic facial cleansing is perfect for caring for problem skin.
In addition, during the process of ultrasonic facial cleansing, the skin is massaged and wrinkles are smoothed out. Cleansing facial skin with ultrasound has a bright rejuvenating effect. After it, the skin becomes renewed and soft.

Manual (manual) facial cleansing
One of the most effective and deep facial cleansing methods. Consists of two main stages. Before cleansing your face, the pores are opened by steaming or vaporization (using a mixture of wet steam and ozone). After which the cosmetologist manually, painstakingly treats each clogged pore with the pressure of his fingers. After the facial skin has been cleaned, it is wiped with an antiseptic. An anti-inflammatory mask is applied to it, and then a soothing cream. Manual (manual) facial cleansing is especially effective for problematic and oily skin with multiple defects. Allows you to remove comedones and inflammatory elements, subcutaneous wen, boils, mature pimples and blackheads. But it is rarely used as an independent method of cleansing the skin. Most often in combination with hardware facial cleansing.
Manual facial cleansing is a rather painful procedure that causes severe redness of the skin, which goes away after a day. Moreover, the more inflammation there is on the face, the more painful the procedure becomes. The fact is that steamed skin cools down in about 20 minutes. After which the pores begin to close. So, if the skin is problematic, the facial cleansing procedure is divided into several sessions. And it is carried out until all the pores are cleaned.
Mechanical facial cleansing
This method is very similar to manual cleaning, with the only difference being that in this case special tools are used to remove grease plugs and dirt from the pores - spatulas, a strainer. And also sterile wipes. If the sebaceous plugs are very deep, the specialist cleans the pores using a special spoon for the nose, an Una spoon (with a loop). And clogged comedones are pierced with a sterile Vidal needle.
Mechanical facial cleansing is a rather outdated and painful method of skin cleansing in a number of ways.
After mechanical cleaning
The facial skin is soothed with masks and massage and disinfected with an infrared lamp. Using healing clay, the pores of the face are tightened and the skin color is evened out. After mechanical cleansing of the face, you should not wash your face for 12 hours. You should also wipe your face with an alcohol-containing lotion for 2-3 days. You should not sunbathe or swim - otherwise there is a high risk of pigment spots appearing.

- fragility of facial blood vessels,
- eczema, herpes and furunculosis

Complications arising during the rehabilitation period
Post-inflammatory pigmentation
Uneven pigmentation can occur in response to any deep damage to the skin. Exposure to the sun without sunscreen increases pigmentation.
Exacerbation of acne
Patients with seborrhea (oily skin) or acne may develop rashes 2-4 weeks after the procedure.
Wide pores
Chemical peels can stimulate pore enlargement. This most often occurs in people with thick skin. Enlarged pores appear 3-4 weeks after the procedure, and disappear at 6-10, since by this time new collagen fibers are formed.
Persistent increase in facial skin sensitivity
When performing deep peels on people with thin, dry, sagging skin, sensitivity may increase. This condition can last from several weeks to several months and is accompanied by redness of the skin.
Late complications
- Hypertrophic reactions (uneven thickening of the skin)
- The upper lip, cheeks, and lower eyelids are most susceptible to these complications; this is especially common with deep peels.
- The development of hypopigmentation (areas of skin lacking pigment) depends on the depth of peeling. Most often occurs after phenol and deep TCA peels.
- Patients with thin, sensitive skin are at risk of developing this complication.
It must be said that it is not enough to have the procedure done in a clinic; it is also important to properly care for your facial skin during its recovery period.
Post-peeling care includes the use of cosmetics containing antioxidants and wound-healing components (vitamin A, E, F, panthenol), moisturizers (hyaluronic acid), products that soften and restore the structure of the barrier (lipid) membrane (shea butter, vegetable and mineral oils ). The use of photoprotective products is mandatory. It is necessary to avoid exposure to the sun (solarium, beach tanning). For medium peels, you should initially refrain from visiting the bathhouse or sauna.
