Phytic acid cleansing or Hollywood peeling

Phytin peeling - what is it?

Phytin peeling is a procedure that is used to eliminate fine wrinkles, age spots, superficial scars and stretch marks. The main active component of a special cosmetic composition is phytic acid. Its molecules are large, therefore they do not penetrate into the deep layers of the dermis, but exert their influence exclusively on the superficial epidermis.

Phytic acid reduces melanin synthesis, depigmentes and brightens the skin, normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands, stimulates the synthesis of collagen fibers, tightens pores, and gently cleanses impurities. Rice and wheat cake is especially rich in its content.

Special compositions for phytic peeling are combined with tartaric acid, and in some cases glycolic or succinic acid. They are selected taking into account individual sensitivity and the expected effect. Tartaric acid is good for treating age spots, while glycolic and succinic acids have excellent moisturizing properties.

What procedures can be combined with?

Microdermasia (chemical peeling). In combination with peeling it gives a more pronounced rejuvenating result.

Fractional photothermolysis (fractional evaporation of water from the upper layer of the epidermis in order to activate skin regeneration processes). Phytin peeling is used as a preparation for the procedure.

Laser biorevitalization. The active components of the peeling composition destroy intermolecular bonds between epidermal cells, thereby facilitating the penetration of hyaluronic acid deep into the skin.

Who is Hollywood phytin peeling suitable for?

Despite the fact that this chemical peeling came from the USA, it has proven itself well in our climate. It can be done regardless of the season, both winter and summer.

Indications for use

1. Photoaging. Acting primarily on the superficial layers of the dermis, this type of peeling gently exfoliates the skin of exposed parts of the body that is dry due to ultraviolet rays (suitable for the face and hands).
2. Hyperpigmentation. Reducing the synthesis of melanin and active interaction with its granules located in epithelial cells allows you to quickly lighten the skin and reduce the size and shape of age spots.
3. Problems of mature skin and rosacea. This peeling has a pronounced anti-aging effect; suitable for problem skin; fights early wrinkles; It eliminates spider veins and spider veins well, which makes it indispensable for rosacea.
4. Striae. Phytic acid stimulates connective tissue cells - fibroblasts, which in turn activate the synthesis of elastin and collagen. Increasing the elasticity of the skin allows you to smooth out superficial wrinkles and also remove stretch marks.
5. Superficial skin scars. Phytic acid penetrates only into the stratum corneum of the skin, so even at the highest concentration of 50% and the longest exposure of 15 minutes, the deep layers of the dermis will not be exposed to its action. Superficial scars will thin out and practically disappear, but deep ones, unfortunately, will remain.

Phytin peeling and contraindications

Despite the safety of using phytic acid, phytic peeling does not have clinically proven protocols for the safety of this procedure. It is not yet certified or permitted in the Eurozone countries.

Contraindicated in the following cases:

1. Allergy to phytic acid or components of the composition. In this case, you should choose a different type of peeling. Persons with hypersensitivity should also take similar advice.
2. Pregnancy and breastfeeding. The active components, penetrating the mother’s bloodstream, enter all organs and tissues with the bloodstream. Their effect on the development and growth of a child has not been clinically proven, but it has not been refuted either, so you should refrain from procedures for this period.
3. Molluscum contagiosum. Before starting a peeling course, you should be treated by a dermatologist, otherwise contamination of uninfected skin may occur.
4. Herpes virus infection. It is necessary to wait for complete recovery and stable remission in order to begin the procedure.
5. Minor wounds, abrasions. Peeling can support the inflammatory process with further formation of deep skin scars.
6. Oncological diseases. Any oncological process, regardless of type, type and stage, is a strict contraindication. Peeling can serve as a trigger for their growth or malignant degeneration.
7. Eczema and psoriasis. The effect of phytic acid on affected areas of the body can lead to complications of the underlying disease.
8. Diabetes. Increased fragility of blood vessels and the formation of hematomas make it impossible to carry out this procedure, since the risk of adverse reactions is higher than the expected effect.
9. Cardiac, pulmonary, renal failure. Even a slight external influence (not to mention the peeling itself) can significantly worsen the condition and cause death.
10. Manifestations of hypersensitivity to the components of the peeling composition.

Persons with hypersensitivity to the components of the drug may experience the following reactions:

• Active peeling that goes away within 3 days.

Which peel to choose: phytin or glycolic?

Phytin peeling is gentle and acts exclusively on the cells of the stratum corneum of the skin, gently and efficiently exfoliating them. It has virtually no side effects and is an effective procedure, especially for rosacea. Its use is justified in people with oily and problem skin. The disadvantage of phytin peeling is its price and insufficient clinical research base for its safety.

Glycolic peeling not only cleanses the skin, but also actively moisturizes it. It is actively used in people with dry and sensitive skin. Compared to phytin, it is cheaper and can be easily used at home. If you still have doubts about choosing the type of peeling, you should consult with a cosmetologist who will help you choose a course of procedures according to the individual characteristics of your skin.
