We all know how important skin care is. Up to a certain age, it is enough to wash with cool water and apply a moisturizer. Gradually, more powerful products are used, and a whole arsenal of masks, lotions and serums appears on the shelf in the bathroom. However, after some time this becomes insufficient. If the reflection in the mirror has ceased to please you, then it's time to do a face peeling in the salon. This term refers to a number of procedures, the essence of which, however, is the same: exfoliation of dead cells from the surface of the skin. The fact is that their life cycle is only 28 days, and in the absence of adequate care, dead cells clog pores, slowing down the process of delivering nutrients to the deeper layers. As a result, early wrinkles, inflammations and other “charms”. In order not to encounter such troubles, cosmetologists recommend regularly doing face peeling in the salon. As noted above, there are several varieties of this procedure. Let's consider some of them in more detail.
Dermabrasion
This term refers to a mechanical deep peeling of the face in the cabin. The specialist gently removes the epidermis with a special metal brush or ultra-fast rotating cutter. The procedure is indicated for those who suffer from acne scars or smallpox, and also wants to remove age spots, freckles and small wrinkles around the lips. It is performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia. The main disadvantage is that within a few days after a visit to the salon, the patient's face will be covered with a protective cortical layer - in no case should you touch it. In addition, for the next couple of weeks you will have to forget about cosmetics.
Microdermabrasion
This is a facial peeling in the salon, during which the epidermis is removed by a directed stream of abrasive microparticles. Indications are the same as in the previous version. In addition to smoothing the relief of the skin, the procedure makes it more fresh and radiant. It should be noted, however, that the effect of it is not so pronounced, and therefore such peeling is prescribed in courses - you will have to visit the cosmetologist from three to twelve times.
Chemical face peeling in the salon
It, in turn, is divided into three types: deep, medium and superficial. In all cases, acids are used as the active active ingredient: they cause peeling and contribute to the replacement of old epithelial cells with new ones. Deep peeling is indicated for people with fair thin skin who want to get rid of wrinkles and age spots. The procedure is very effective, but after it the patient’s skin loses the ability to produce pigment. A cosmetologist must warn that from now on a woman is strictly forbidden to go out in the sun without first applying sunscreen. It is generally recommended that you consult a dermatologist before signing up for a chemical facial peel in the salon. The cost of such an examination is low, and the benefits of it are many.
Medium peeling is good for fighting acne. In addition, it brightens freckles. They usually make it once a month - it is considered softer and more gentle than deep. Surface peeling is usually done in courses. The procedure is prescribed to treat dry skin.
