Mechanical facial peeling

This type of manual peeling is considered the easiest way to cleanse the face. The procedure involves mechanical removal of the top layer of the epidermis using abrasives. The preparations used contain hard granules to quickly eliminate dead cells. Such means include:

Scrub. Available in the form of a gel or cream with abrasive particles. The product is applied to the face, after which it is washed off along with dead cells. It is important to try not to injure the skin during the scrubbing process.
Gommage. Designed for cellular nutrition and regeneration. The product is a rolling cream with soft abrasive particles or fruit acids that dissolve during cleaning.
Brushing (brossage) to exfoliate the dead layer of the epidermis. To perform the procedure, you need a special hard brush with synthetic bristles. The face is covered with abrasive paste, then massaged with a brush.
Salt peeling. The procedure is performed using products containing table or sea salt, rich in macro- and microelements.
Coral polishing. The products used during the procedure contain coral chips and plant components.
Film masks for removing dead cells from the skin. The product is a special silicone film that is applied to the face and then removed along with the stratum corneum.

With the help of manual mechanical cleaning, impurities are removed from the surface layer, the skin becomes fresh, and shallow wrinkles are smoothed out.

In the beauty salon, specialists perform medium mechanical peeling, which includes microcrystalline dermabrasion and diamond exfoliation. Using these procedures, minor scars, scars, slight pigmentation, and post-acne are eliminated.

Indications for use

There is an opinion that dry skin does not need peeling. However, this is not quite true. The outer layer of dead cells of the epidermis does not allow nourishing and moisturizing components to penetrate into the deeper layers.

Peeling removes dead skin cells, freeing healthy tissue, activates blood circulation and enhances the effectiveness of skincare products.

Dry skin needs exfoliation just as much as other types of epidermis. But not all drugs can be used for this purpose. Cosmetologists advise choosing the most soft and delicate products that will not injure the dermis and will help get rid of the following problems:

uneven complexion;
sagging skin;
small wrinkles;
lightening of pigment spots, etc.

For dry skin, delicate glycolic or milk formulations are usually chosen. It is desirable that the concentration of acids be minimal. The frequency of procedures is 2-3 per month, unless the cosmetologist advises otherwise. In just a few sessions, it will be possible to rid the skin of peeling, make it uniform, smooth, more elastic, and brighten up the signs of aging.

Due to the risk of pigmentation, peelings are carried out in autumn and winter.

Laser facial peeling

This type of peeling involves exposing the epidermis to a laser beam. Depending on the type of radiation, as well as the depth of laser penetration, one or another result is achieved.

Contraindications to this type of facial peeling in cosmetology for problem skin:

oncological diseases;
cardiovascular diseases;
infections;
pregnancy;
impaired blood clotting;
presence of fillers in the treated area;
connective tissue diseases, autoimmune diseases.

Peeling helps in solving a variety of aesthetic problems. To achieve maximum effect, you need to focus on your skin type. In addition, it is important to strictly adhere to the technology of performing the procedure.

Ultrasonic facial peeling

This type of peeling refers to hardware procedures for surface cleaning, which involves removing dead cells and cleansing contaminated pores.

Choosing the type of facial peeling based on age and skin type

When choosing the type of superficial (or other) facial peeling in cosmetology, it is customary to take into account two important factors: the age of the client and the specifics of the problem.

Depending on the degree of skin aging, the optimal type of cleansing is selected:

21–25 years old. At this age there are no significant changes yet. Only pigmentation may appear. Experts recommend gommage or scrubbing, enzyme cleansing, and peeling using fruit acids.
25–35 years old. This period is characterized by the appearance of facial wrinkles, keratosis, and age spots. Cosmetologists recommend cryopilling, laser or superficial chemical peeling.
35–50 years old. At this age, changes in the condition of the skin become clearly visible: dull complexion, pronounced pigmentation, capillary network. Laser cleaning and vacuum peeling are recommended.
More than 50 years. This period is characterized by the presence of many wrinkles and creases of varying depths. After 50 years, the skin needs deep chemical peeling and laser cleaning.

For mature facial skin after 40 years, cosmetologists recommend dermabrasion, mid-level professional laser or ultrasonic peeling.

For oily skin, diamond peeling, coral mechanical or dry cleansing is suitable.
For problem skin, salicylic or almond peels are performed.

Cosmetologists consider peelings to be an effective remedy that helps maintain skin health and renew it. Thanks to the procedure, skin tissue rejuvenation occurs quickly, skin tone increases, wrinkles are smoothed out.

If you perform peelings regularly, there will be no need for plastic surgery to restore and rejuvenate the skin.

The downside of these procedures is the risk of complications in the form of intense pigmentation, spider veins, and tissue scarring in the area of severely damaged or burned skin.

To avoid unforeseen consequences during cleansing or restoration, you need to contact trusted beauty salons. In addition, it is necessary to choose only high-quality drugs.

Chemical peeling for face

Superficial peeling

The procedure is carried out using fruit alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic, citric, grape). Under the influence of chemicals applied to the surface of the skin, the keratinized cells of the epidermis dissolve. These drugs not only cleanse and activate skin tissue. They have the following positive properties:

moisturize;
relieve inflammation;
normalize the functions of the sebaceous glands;
tighten pores;
disinfected.

Indications for the procedure are hyperkeratosis, acne, post-acne, oily skin, enlarged pores, signs of early age-related changes (minor pigmentation, shallow wrinkles).

To get a lasting effect, at least 10–15 sessions are needed. The frequency should be once a week.

Medium peeling

This type of chemical peeling for the face in cosmetology involves treating the skin with trichloroacetic acid (25–30%) and salicylic acid (30%). The action of these substances is to dissolve the cell layers to the depth of the papillary layer. The skin's response to chemical irritation is swelling and redness. Skin tissue is restored within 7 days, during which the dead layer of cells peels off.

Using medium peeling, age-related changes in the skin (wrinkles, age spots, decreased tone) are eliminated. In addition, chemicals have anti-inflammatory and disinfectant effects. Medium chemical peeling is effective in the complex treatment of acne, as it normalizes the function of the sebaceous glands. Another advantage of this type of acid peeling for the face is its ability to cope with scars and stretch marks.

Deep peeling

As a rule, this procedure involves the use of drugs that contain phenol. The substance affects the deep layers of the epidermis down to the middle layer. The effect is a significant renewal of the skin. Most often, men and women after 40 years of age undergo phenol peeling to correct pronounced age-related skin changes.

The basis for this procedure is the presence of:

wrinkles, nasolabial and eyebrow folds, creases in the lips and eyes;
excessive pigmentation;
sagging, sagging skin;
scars, scars, stretch marks;
photoaging process.

The rehabilitation period after deep peeling lasts at least 4–6 weeks. To avoid complications, patients should strictly adhere to all medical recommendations regarding preparation for peeling and skin care after the session. At the end of the rehabilitation period, the face looks approximately 10 years younger. After one procedure, the result lasts for several years.

Contraindications to phenol peeling are severe heart and vascular diseases, liver and kidney diseases.

Healing period

After delicate peelings, the recovery period is very short, especially if a homemade exfoliating composition was applied to the skin. In just a few days, the face will look renewed, fresh, smoother. On the first day after peeling, you should not wash your face, touch the skin again, or apply decorative cosmetics. The doctor will tell you what products can be used to speed up the healing of the dermis. The specialist will also probably recommend special skincare products.

The first few weeks after peeling, you need to protect your skin from the sun: do not sunbathe, do not visit the solarium. Before each trip outside, you should use sunscreen cosmetics and regularly moisturize the treated areas with creams. In addition, during the rehabilitation period it is not advisable to go to the bathhouse, sauna or swimming pool.

Types of peelings for facial skin

An experienced specialist will help you determine which type of facial peel to choose. The effect of the procedure depends on the depth of exposure of the drugs. The cosmetologist will assess the condition of the skin, the specifics of existing problems and recommend the most suitable option.

Name and description of the main types of facial peeling:

Superficial peeling. The procedure involves cleaning only the upper layers of the epidermis, without affecting the living layers. The process of superficial peeling removes dead cells. There are practically no contraindications to this procedure, it is painless and does not cause complications.
Medium peeling. Involves cleaning the entire skin layer. During the session, drugs penetrate deeper into the epidermis, which has a beneficial effect on metabolic processes. Medium peeling is performed only by a professional cosmetologist. After such manipulations, the skin needs intensive restoration.
This type of facial peeling in cosmetology is intended for rejuvenation. It helps eliminate large areas of pigmentation, reduce deep wrinkles, and get rid of old spots. After the procedure, minor burns and red marks remain, so the recovery period can be 3–4 days.
Deep peeling. Quite a complicated procedure. All manipulations are performed only in a hospital setting with mandatory pain relief. In the process, all layers of the epidermis are destroyed. Tissues begin to regenerate from the remaining fragments.
Deep peeling (laser and chemical) is an aggressive cleaning method. This procedure immediately rejuvenates by 8–10 years, due to the almost complete burning of old skin and its replacement with new one.

The most common anti-aging procedure is medium peeling.

In order to refresh the skin, superficial cleaning is performed at least 2 times a month. To eliminate defects and prevent early age-related changes, medium peeling is performed twice a year.

Indications for deep peeling must be very serious.

There are the following types of peelings for cleansing the skin:

chemical;
mechanical;
ultrasonic;
laser.

Let's look at each type in more detail.

What is it needed for

Cell death occurs every month, so it is necessary to regularly remove dead particles. In another way, this can be called exfoliation, which means cleansing the surface layer - the epidermis. Nowadays there is such a huge selection of both cosmetic products themselves and methods of using them that you can easily make mistakes and even harm your skin. It is necessary to take into account its type, individual characteristics and contraindications.

Opinion of cosmetologists

Not all doctors call peeling a suitable procedure for dry facial skin, noting that after this the epidermis may experience an even greater moisture deficiency. Therefore, it is important for women who decide to cleanse their face to consult with an experienced specialist. For example, this cosmetologist does not consider brossage to be a gentle technique.

It is necessary that the doctor not only select the optimal type of peeling taking into account your skin type, but also talk about all the nuances of the procedure, including possible contraindications and complications. The author who expressed this opinion is counseling a young mother who has recently completed her lactation period.

What to choose

After listing such a variety, the question arises: what is the best professional facial peeling? The answer is almost the same as with choosing a service in a salon. It all depends on preferences, what problem you want to solve and individual indicators:

products based on milk components are most effective for dry and sensitive skin;
if you are concerned about age spots, then chemical exfoliation will be effective;
Enzyme cleansing is effective in the fight against oily shine and impaired sebum secretion;
a product containing salicylic acid is suitable for problematic types prone to inflammation;
if you want to achieve an even and radiant tone, you can try microcrystalline grinding (you can learn more about this technique in the video below, which describes the operation of the device and the procedure itself).

Contraindications

Despite the fact that all-season peeling can be performed without restrictions on the time of year, it is important to take into account the body conditions and diseases in which intensive effects on the skin are contraindicated.

These include:

disorders of the cardiovascular system;
diabetes;
epilepsy;
chronic skin diseases;
infectious diseases;
intolerance to peeling components;
skin damage;
taking hormonal medications;
insolation;
acute condition: fever, sore throat, cough, etc.;
pregnancy and lactation - it is permissible to use soft peels, for example, enzyme peels.

All-season peeling is an effective way to keep your skin beautiful and healthy at any time of the year. But the procedure will only be beneficial if it is done correctly, taking into account many nuances. To ensure you are pleased with the result, before performing peeling, be sure to consult with an experienced cosmetologist and follow his recommendations.
