Why do you need peeling?
Peeling is the procedure for removing the top layer of skin. It starts a faster regeneration process. The fact is that with age, the rate of natural skin renewal decreases. More and more dead cells remain on its surface. This leads to dull complexion, the appearance of wrinkles, inflammation and other imperfections. With regular exfoliation, all of these problems can be eliminated or prevented from occurring. Peels are:
- Physical (use abrasive particles, for example, scrubs);
- Chemical (use chemicals, such as acids);
- Hardware (use laser systems or ultrasound).
How is peeling useful for rosacea?
There is no need to be afraid of peeling for couperose skin. When used correctly, it will be useful and relieve symptoms.

Why do you need carbon peeling?
In the West, carbon peeling is called “China Doll Peel”. It got its name due to the effect of smooth “doll” skin that is achieved after the procedure. Carbon peeling combines two types of exfoliation:
- hardware (carried out using a laser);
- chemical (carried out using a special nanogel).
Before the procedure, a special carbon nanogel is applied to the client’s skin, which increases the effectiveness of the laser on problem areas of the skin. Immediately after application, the gel hardens, gluing together dead skin particles, absorbing excess sebum and dirt from the pores. Then, under the influence of a laser, the nanoparticles are heated, and the gel itself breaks down into carbon dioxide and water. Substances removed from the skin are absorbed by carbon, which safely removes them from the tissues. Further, due to the heat of the laser, blood circulation and cell nutrition are improved, and the production of collagen by the skin is stimulated. Carbon peeling is a minimally invasive procedure. It leaves no marks or abrasions, which can happen with other types of laser peels. It is combined with almost all cosmetic procedures: Botox injections, thread lifting, mesotherapy and biorevitalization.

Results after carbon peeling
The procedure can cope with a range of problems: enlarged pores, acne and small wrinkles. Results can be seen after the first procedure. However, to achieve a more pronounced effect, 3–7 procedures should be performed. Carbon peeling is a minimally invasive procedure. It only affects the top layers of the skin. This allows him to deal with imperfections quite effectively. However, you should not expect too strong an effect from it, which will remain for years. The safety of the results of the procedure depends on the client’s lifestyle and anatomical features.
Contraindications
Carbon cleaning is not suitable in the following cases:
- dermatological diseases are present, especially in the acute phase;
- if you have vitiligo;
- there are inflamed areas;
- there is a violation of the integrity of the skin - scratches, cuts, wounds;
- the patient has a tendency to form keloids and scars;
- allergy to the active substance;
- the presence of infections - viral or fungal;
- increased sensitivity to laser effects;
- if you are breastfeeding or pregnant.
In addition to this list of unconditional restrictions, there are also temporary ones. It is advisable not to carry out carbon laser procedures during periods of active sun - in summer and late spring. The best time is autumn and winter. This is due to the fact that the peeling solution contains a photosensitizing substance, the effect of which is exacerbated by ultraviolet rays.
Indications
The procedure is often performed for preventative skin care. To maintain beauty, it is performed every year from the age of 25. There are several indications:
- enlarged pores;
- manifestation of pigments;
- acne;
- increased activity of sebum secretion;
- scars after treatment of acne and inflammatory spots;
- skin aging due to signs of aging;
- unpleasant shade.
The procedure is carried out as preparation for other cosmetology sessions. This is due to the removal of all impurities from the pores.
What is the essence of the method?
Carbon peeling is a procedure for skin cleansing and renewal. The first part involves applying a nano-gel based on carbon dioxide. It takes time to dry. Beneficial components penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis. The carbon amplifier acts as a catalyst for the impact of the focused beam.
The gel draws out impurities and cleanses sebaceous plugs. This reduces bacterial exposure to the environment. Radiation therapy ensures the penetration of the gel into the deep layers. Therefore, deep cleansing is ensured and the formation of collagen and elastin is launched.
What is diamond grinding
At its core, diamond facial microdermabrasion is a superficial, mechanical peeling of the upper layer of the epidermis. The procedure occurs due to the effect of vacuum and the operation of micro-abrasive elements on a special attachment of the device.
The combined action of both of these factors helps to carry out a high-quality procedure for cleansing the stratum corneum of the epidermis, removing dead skin cells, and obtaining the effect of skin rejuvenation and lightening. The relief is also leveled and the quality and tone of the dermis is improved.
Possible complications
Negative manifestations after the procedure are very rare, and are often associated with disturbances in the care process. Please remember that there is a risk of:
- suppuration due to infection. This is possible if the surface of the skin is damaged. It is important to treat your face with an antiseptic;
- swelling. Appears when you use a cleanser, alcohol lotions, or regular soap;
- pigmentation in the form of spots. A possible consequence if the procedure was performed on a patient between fourteen and twenty years old. This complication can also occur if you are exposed to sunlight for a long time after the session.
This procedure does not have dangerous, serious consequences, and if you follow the recommendations of a cosmetologist, they are completely excluded.
Error-free procedure: important recommendations
Any course of peeling in case of rosacea should be preceded by a consultation with an experienced cosmetologist. The specialist will advise which type of exfoliation is suitable in your case, what concentration of the composition is needed and how many sessions are permissible to restore the attractiveness of your face.
- skin areas with rosacea are treated with peeling preparations last, and neutralized first;
- a course of peelings for symptoms of rosacea has a limited number of sessions, which must be separated by at least a two-week break;
- During the recovery period after the course, the patient begins pre-orally taking medications that strengthen the walls of blood vessels and multivitamin complexes with a high content of microelements of groups P and K. It is better to find out what these medications will be from the attending physician, because all medications have a number of contraindications.
The protocol for peeling procedures for rosacea is specific. Unlike conventional exfoliation, these sessions are shorter and less frequent; due to the long break between peels, the course becomes longer. Therefore, it is better to plan it for the autumn-winter period.
Recommended skin care after the procedure
There are no visible traces of the procedure (redness, swelling, etc.) after carbon peeling. However, this does not mean that the skin does not experience consequences. They are simply not visible. The complete recovery process takes about two weeks. During this period, it is very important to follow the recommendations of a specialist to consolidate the effect. You should:
- Apply sunscreen with a high SPF and labeled with UVA protection to your skin;
- avoid makeup for 2–3 days after the procedure;
- avoid products containing alcohol, as it can irritate the skin;
- regularly use moisturizing creams: preference should be given to products with hyaluronic acid;
- refuse to visit saunas, baths and swimming pools for up to 14 days;
- do not carry out aggressive skin procedures: cleansing, scrubbing, etc. within two weeks after peeling.

What is Azelaic acid and how does it work?
AA is a carboxylic acid that is formed naturally on normal skin during lipid metabolism and is found in small quantities in the human body. When applied to the skin, AK preparations easily penetrate the epidermis and dermis, with up to 4% of the total dose entering the systemic circulation.
Functions performed by AK on the skin
- Anti-inflammatory effect – stops the inflammatory process.
- Antioxidant effect – binds free radicals.
- Antimicrobial effect (bactericidal) – effective against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, suppresses the transition of C. Acnes to a pathogenic form, retains the skin microbiome (bacterial flora), thereby reducing the load on the immune system.
- Keratolytic effect - eliminates hyperkeratosis of the mouths of the sebaceous glands follicles.
- Normalizes the process of differentiation of epidermal cells.
- Lightening effect - suppresses melanin synthesis by inhibiting the enzyme tyrosinase.
- Antiandrogenic effect - suppresses the synthesis of type I 5α-reductase, which leads to a decrease in the content of dehydrotestosterone in sebocytes, thereby normalizing the processes of keratinization and sebum secretion.
According to the latest data, AK has an antifungal effect against fungi of the genus Pityrosporum ovale and Candida albicans, which are resistant to antibiotics. Microorganisms do not develop resistance to AK itself even after prolonged exposure.
