Peeling is a modern cosmetology procedure that is performed to improve the structure of the skin and exfoliate surface cells. It can be performed not only mechanically, but also with the help of acids. This type of peeling is called chemical.
Depending on skin problems and the desired result, the depth of exposure to the layers of the epidermis may be different, because peeling is done with acids of different concentrations.
When deciding to do such a procedure, a woman should fully study the question of how to conduct it, since many women do not even suspect that they will in fact be waiting for them. The fact that with its help you can get rid of wrinkles is true, but not everyone can tolerate pain, go to work with a reddened face and hide from the sun for several days in a row.
Problems that acid peeling solves
Thus, you can improve the condition of aging skin, get rid of wrinkles, age spots and acne. The pores after the procedure are narrowed, the complexion improves, the scars become less noticeable. All this happens as a result of the removal of several layers of the epidermis from the skin surface and the improvement of metabolic processes in the deep layers.
Peeling can be done both on a limited area, for example, on the cheeks (age spots or wrinkles), and on a vast surface, including the neckline.
Peeling is divided into superficial, median and deep depending on the concentration and time of exposure to acids.
Superficial peeling with acids is the most gentle method of exposure, it does not affect the deeper layers of the skin and does not require long-term recovery. For its use, weak fruit acids are used, for example, lactic, malic, citric, and glycolic. The use of painkillers is not required, and after the procedure there will be only slight redness.
Median acid peeling is more traumatic, as the concentration of funds and the depth of skin damage increase. But the result is more noticeable, in this way you can remove fine wrinkles, scars and pigmentation. Beauticians use trichloroacetic, retinoic, salicylic and glycolic acid. This level of peeling is already accompanied by anesthesia, as at the time of acid exposure to the skin, burning and pain are felt. The recovery period lasts several days, when redness is replaced by peeling and peeling.
Deep peeling with acids is already a radical procedure, it can be performed only under strong anesthesia and in the antiseptic conditions of the operating room. In beauty salons, they should not do it.
Stage of the procedure
First of all, the skin is prepared for applying the product. It includes cleansing, degreasing and anesthesia (if necessary).
The following is the step of applying the acid at a specific time.
The final step is a mask that soothes the skin and a cold compress.
We must not forget that after peeling for several days it is necessary to avoid the sun, tanning beds and depilation.
Today there is cosmetics for peeling at home. As a rule, such funds are used only superficially. Median peeling should be done only by a cosmetologist, and first the doctor should find out if you have any contraindications to the procedure, including pregnancy, exacerbation of herpes or chronic diseases, urticaria, acne, autoimmune and oncological diseases, open wounds or sensitive ( thin) skin.
The cosmetologist must warn that acid peeling of the face can be complicated (in rare cases) by scars, persistent redness or infection if all the rules of the procedure are not followed.
Only professionals can trust their beauty and health!
