Comparison with similar procedures
In action, enzyme peeling is similar to chemical peeling. Fruit acids, which are considered the basis of the latter, lead to the destruction of intercellular bonds between dead cells. Therefore, horny scales are much easier to exfoliate, and the skin is cleansed. Acids act aggressively and have an irritating effect.
Enzyme peeling has a mild effect. It has components similar to natural enzymes designed to break down protein molecules and eliminate intercellular bonds. Although their environment is also acidic, enzymes do not have a strong irritating effect . They are chosen for very sensitive skin, even with acne, acne, inflammation.
Mechanical peeling has a physical effect. Small abrasive particles detach the horny scales, since they do not hold firmly. The pH of the drug is neutral, so there will be no irritation, like in the enzyme. But the latter is considered more effective, because it affects the entire depth of the stratum corneum, and mechanical cleansing touches the layers sequentially.
Laser peeling involves a kind of annealing of horn particles. A carbon dioxide laser leads to heating of the upper layers of the skin to temperatures at which the destruction of intercellular bonds begins, and the scales are easily removed by a mechanical method. Enzyme peeling is slightly inferior to laser peeling in effect, but has a more affordable price.
This peeling involves gentle cleansing that prevents pain. 30 minutes after this, you can go about your business and enjoy soft skin, on which there will be no imperfections.
