Among men there are many businessmen who hold many meetings a day, and at them you need to be presentable and respectable.

Vacuum cleaning

The procedure is based on the dosed action of negative atmospheric pressure (air is pumped out from the drainage tube of the device).

Several types of nozzles are used:

• Beak-shaped - for treating the T-zone.
• Flat - for working with wrinkles.
• A round drainage tube provides lymphatic drainage.

The technique is atraumatic - this is its main advantage. It is suitable for caring for oily, combination and normal skin.

Vacuum cleaning is often carried out after casting.

Indications:

• aging skin with reduced turgor;
• acne, comedones.

Efficiency

The effect of vacuum helps improve blood flow and lymph outflow in the treated area, as a result, natural regeneration processes are activated and swelling is reduced.

The device sucks out comedones and also has a slight exfoliation effect. After the first procedure, some of the blackheads disappear, the skin becomes cleaner and fresher.

Carrying out the procedure

The patient is placed on the couch and his hair is tucked under a cap.

Treatment is carried out in strict sequence along massage lines:

• Chin: movement from bottom to top towards the nose or up and to the side towards the cheeks.
• Cheeks: movements seem to tighten the skin - from the nose to the ears.
• The forehead is processed in different directions.
• A round nozzle of small diameter is used for the nose, the back is worked with longitudinal movements, and the wings are worked with circular movements.

Stages:

• Thorough make-up removal, cleansing and degreasing of the skin.
• Carrying out disincrustation.
• Carrying out cleansing therapy using a vacuum apparatus. Depending on the area being worked on, the appropriate nozzle is selected (beak-shaped, flat or round).
• Apply a soothing, regenerating and pore-tightening mask and cream.

The session takes 40-50 minutes. It is permissible to repeat 3-4 times per year with an interval of 3-4 months.

Precautionary measures

The vacuum cleaning procedure is considered gentle, but does not completely guarantee the preservation of tissue integrity.

It is important to remember to disinfect and sterilize attachments. You should also not lose sight of contraindications, neglect of which can harm not only beauty, but also your health.

Side effects:

• The introduction of pyogenic flora into the tissue with the subsequent development of pustular diseases of the dermis.
• Persistent hyperemia (more than 48 hours).
• Formation of edema, pinpoint hemorrhages, hematomas (in case of poor technique, weak capillaries).

Contraindications:

• Dry skin.
• Expanded subcutaneous capillary network.
• Telangiectasia.
• Rosacea.
• Any infections in the active phase.
• Chronic dermatoses during exacerbation.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Vacuum use is contraindicated during pregnancy. The procedure causes a state of local stress, which can spread to the entire body, including the uterus and fetus.

After the recovery period, the face looks noticeably healthier and well-groomed.

Carrying out the procedure

The patient is placed on the couch, his hair is tucked under a disposable cap.

• Dry, sensitive skin.

Is advance preparation necessary?

Before carrying out facial cleansing, it is necessary to carry out preliminary preparation. Naturally, the skin is cleansed of dirt and decorative cosmetics. Next, you need to steam it or apply special products to expand the pores. The only exception is ultrasound technology; there is no need for a preparatory stage.

Steaming the skin is done using hot baths or done with a vaporizer (a device that creates steam that hits the face). Heat compresses and paraffin masks are used.

Brushing

Brushing, or brossage, is used for the purpose of superficial exfoliation and polishing.

Fine bristles effectively remove dirt and horn cells.

Massage stimulates blood circulation, thereby improving trophism and cellular metabolism. The complexion improves, the skin becomes smoother and healthier.

Indications:

• The presence of blackheads, enlarged pores and comedones.
• Problem skin.
• Uneven complexion, unhealthy color.
• Adolescence.
• Loss of elasticity.

Procedure protocol

For brushing, a special apparatus is used, which is equipped with a handle with a removable brush attachment. At home, you can use a manual brush or a portable electronic device.

The doctor first selects the stiffness of the brush, the speed and direction of movement of the nozzle.

Stages:

• First, the skin is cleansed and degreased.
• Afterwards the scrub is applied, distributed along the massage lines and removed using damp sponges.
• Apply nourishing or moisturizing cream under the polishing attachment and massage for 3-5 minutes.

Direction of movement:

• Chin: in the shape of an inverted letter U, but you can apply a little more pressure than in other areas.
• Cheeks: upward and outward circular movements, returning to the starting point.
• Nose: small circular movements at the tip of the nose and at the wings, then along the back to the space between the eyebrows.
• Forehead: in circular motions from the center to the periphery.

Brushing is a gentle method of cleansing, so it is carried out 1-2 times a month.

Precautionary measures

Failure to comply with the technique can lead to stretching of the tissue, loss of tone and elasticity, and unscrupulous processing of the working tool is fraught with the development of complications.

Side effects:

• Pustular lesion of the dermis.
• The appearance of excessive dryness, irritation.
• Persistent hyperemia.

Contraindications:

• The presence of an active inflammatory process.
• Sensitive, irritated skin.
• Vascular mesh.
• Violation of tissue integrity.
• Large nevi, papillomas.

Stages of daily facial skin care at home

An important rule that every girl must follow is: you cannot skip facial care procedures; you must carry out a set of activities every day.

Remember that you should select cosmetics, both decorative and skincare, that are suitable specifically for your type. You should not chase fashion brands and popular brands. First of all, pay attention to the composition of the product. The presence of only natural ingredients without artificial ingredients indicates the high quality of the products, regardless of their cost.

The basic facial skin care system includes several stages: cleansing, toning, moisturizing and nourishing. This integrated approach allows:

• Remove dirt.

• Reduce inflammation and acne.

• Tighten pores and reduce the number of blackheads.

• Tone the epithelium and prevent the first signs of aging.

• Replenish lost micronutrients.

A basic set of products may consist of:

• Cleansers – gel, foam, milk.

• Toning product – lotions, tonics, thermal and micellar waters.

• Products for moisturizing and nutrition - creams, gels, serums, fluids.

Try to avoid using soap when washing your face. It dries out quite a lot, which leads to contraction and loss of beneficial microelements.

Ultrasonic cleaning

The operation of the device is based on the oscillation of ultrasonic waves emanating from the handpiece. The generated waves cause alternating acoustic pressure on the liquid medium applied to the skin and form “microjets”, which in turn have a peeling effect.

In addition, ultrasound vibrations perform micromassage, promote hydration of the dermis, activate cellular metabolism, tissue regeneration, as well as the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

The effectiveness of the procedure: superficial cleansing of pores, evening out tone and imparting radiance due to a pronounced exfoliating effect, stimulation of blood circulation and improvement of complexion, normalization of the sebaceous glands and reduction of sebum secretion in the aftermath.

Procedure protocol

Stages:

• Thorough makeup removal and cleansing with specialized products, degreasing the skin.
• Applying a warming mask under the film for 10-15 minutes helps to expand the pores.
• Zonal film removal followed by wet-on-wet cleaning (special tonics or lotions are used).
• Toning, restoring pH, after ultrasonic exposure.
• Applying a mask to close the pores.
• Apply moisturizer, in summer - with SPF.

Precautionary measures

Acne, severe inflammation, dry, irritated and sensitive skin are the main contraindications to manipulation.

Toning

It is a mandatory step in home skin care. To perform this function, you can choose a tonic or lotion. The products have a similar consistency and care, and also have the same effect - they remove residual cleanser, soothe and restore moisture balance, and also prepare the surface for the application of a nourishing product.

Laser facial cleansing

Laser facial cleansing (dermal peeling) is the use of high-intensity laser radiation to even out uneven skin texture and color.

Absorption of radiation by the surface layers of the epidermis causes them to evaporate, while deeper cells are not affected.

Procedure protocol

First, he prepares the patient: the hair is tucked under a disposable cap, protective goggles are put on the eyes, and the entire treated area is disinfected.

The doctor works with the laser at a distance of 3-15 cm, depending on the device. The beam sequentially passes through all zones on the face, without entering the same field twice.

Areas that have already been laser treated become lighter.

When the entire face has been treated, the dermis is re-treated with antiseptic solutions.

Recommendations for the number of sessions:

• Superficial peeling: 3-4 procedures with an interval of 2-3 weeks. No more than 2-3 courses per year.
• Medium: 3-4 procedures with an interval of 4-5 weeks. No more than 2 courses per year.
• Deep: 1-2 manipulations at long intervals (up to 3-4 months). No more than 1 course per 5-7 years.

Features of the recovery period

With medium and deep laser cleaning, rehabilitation lasts 2-4 weeks. Patients are under strict supervision and control of doctors, following all recommendations individually.

In the first days, the area affected by the laser is sharply hyperemic and swollen. Then a brown scab-crust forms, which is strictly forbidden to be forcibly removed because it serves as a protective barrier from the external environment.

Precautionary measures

2 weeks before the procedure it is prohibited:

• sunbathing and visiting a solarium;
• take any antibacterial drugs;
• conduct chemical peels in salons.

In 3 days exclude:

• application of alcohol-containing products;
• swimming pool and sauna.

Rehabilitation period

There are general rules that must be followed after any type of cleaning.

• It is forbidden to wash your face for 24 hours
• In the first 3-5 days, use cream with SPF (at least 30)
• Do not use aggressive cosmetics or perform chemical peeling.
• Avoid harsh mechanical impact on the treated area.
• Do not apply makeup until complete healing.
• Use moisturizing serums or creams daily.
• Take any antibacterial drugs.
• Do not visit the sauna, bathhouse, swimming pool or solarium.
• If necessary, apply anti-inflammatory agents to irritated areas.

So, what is this procedure?

• The master cleanses the skin of blackheads and pimples, both with his hands and with the help of certain tools.
• Before the procedure, the facial skin is steamed. The procedure itself lasts about 20 minutes, because it is during this period of time that the pores are open.
• First, the master will cleanse the skin by using a special strainer (sponge) to remove all dead cells and excess fat.
• Next, the cosmetologist proceeds directly to cleansing the pores. The most important thing is that everything is done with sterile instruments and exclusively with the help of special napkins.
• If more than 20 minutes have passed and the face has not yet been cleaned, then another hot compress is applied. Without this compress, the procedure will be painful and ineffective.
• After the skin cleansing process is completed, several masks are applied to the face in succession: first a disinfectant, then a vitamin one, and then a moisturizer.
• It is worth saying that this procedure leaves behind red marks, dots and marks that will be visible for 1-2 days after the procedure, so you should not do it on the eve of an important event.
• Also, after the procedure, you should not wash your face for 12 hours, and for the next 3 days it is better to refrain from sunbathing and using chemical cosmetics.
• The cost of this procedure is 1000-2000 rubles.
