I suggest starting with peeling, which we can do both at home and in the salon - it's a mechanical or so-called manual peeling. This method involves the application of exfoliating masks or cream on the face with fingers, with stroking movements, a brush or a sponge. In its composition, scrubs contain either natural abrasives (almonds, coconut, algae, wheat bran) or particles of polymer materials. With this type of peeling with scrubs, you can slightly level the complexion and improve the texture of the skin, but it is impossible to combat acne and signs of aging.
There is a softer peeling gomazhem, which is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and dry. But it is worthwhile to be careful of those who have lost the skin's elasticity and tone, since there is a risk of stretching it.
The next type of peeling is a technical or brush, peeling. The essence of it is that the skin is applied exfoliating agent and then its surface is processed by a soft rotating brush. As a result, not only dead cells are removed, but thanks to the massage, the metabolism and blood circulation of the epidermal cells is improved. The frequency of the procedure is no more than once a week.
Microdermabrasion is a kind of peeling, which is carried out with the help of a special device that throws out small crystals of hydroxy aluminum under pressure, while on the skin are gradually disappearing shallow wrinkles, acne scars, pigment spots, the scars are leveled. After the procedure, there may be significant reddening, and in the case of deep grinding, crusts appear on the skin. The frequency of the procedure is once a week. The course of procedures 10-12 times.
Very often in the salons you can find a laser peeling service that eliminates wrinkles, age spots, the consequences of acne. Laser beams evaporate the upper layers of epidermal cells and on the surface of the skin are young cells, which makes the skin elastic and smooth. Recovery with deep processing will take 8-10 days, and the redness will finally come off in 6-12 weeks. Grinding with a laser can only give a slight reddening, which will take place the next day.
Peeling ultrasound exfoliates dead cells when exposed to ultrasound, which by its biostimulating effect improves cell metabolism and protein synthesis.
A very effective method of cleansing from dead skin cells, from the point of view of medicine and cosmetology, is chemical peeling, which is done by applying various acids on the skin to achieve a chemical burn of the required depth.
With the help of glycolic or trichloroacetic acid, a median chemical peeling is carried out. The strongest effect on the skin has trichloroacetic acid, it will smooth out the skin relief after acne, eliminate scars after surgery, and remove wrinkles.
All the above types of peeling are quite effective, but, as in any case, an individual approach is needed here. I think after reading this article, you will not lose your head in the salon and choose the kind of peeling that will suit you.
