Retinoic peeling - contraindications, indications and types

Retinoic yellow peeling

Retinoic yellow peeling gets its name because of the bright color of the active ingredient that is used to treat the skin. The main substance of the composition is retinoic acid or retinol - a derivative of vitamin A or vitamin A, which is why the peeling is called retinoic or retinol yellow peeling.

Peeling with retinoic acid is a procedure with a chemical surface effect, but despite this, this method of rejuvenation is very effective and the results obtained are no worse than the average peeling.

How does retinoic peel work?

The main substance helps speed up the work of dermal cells, which causes them to intensively produce collagen and elastin. In addition, retinoic acid has a bacterial effect, accelerates metabolism in cells, enhances reduction and oxidation processes, and accelerates the production of lipids.

In addition to the active component, the composition also contains other additional acids that help get rid of age spots and also enhance the effects of retinoic acid. This peeling is prescribed for treating the face, décolleté, face, eyelids and hand skin. Since yellow peeling is superficial and has a gentle effect on the skin without damaging it, it can also be performed on young girls.

Retinoic peeling has the following advantages:

• short rehabilitation period – up to 4 days;
• despite its mild effect, it is highly effective, especially in the fight against age spots;
• to achieve results, a much smaller number of sessions are required compared to peelings with other acids;
• is a safe way of rejuvenation;
• minimal risk of side effects.

Also, compared to other peels, retinoic peels have an affordable price.

Cost of the procedure

For people interested in skin rejuvenation, the price of retinoic peeling becomes relevant. Today, specialists in various salons perform the procedure for only 4-6 thousand rubles per session. For those with normal skin, for which two sessions are enough, paying for peeling will not be difficult. But those who require a course of treatment consisting of 4 procedures will have to spend a considerable amount of money.

The price of retinoic peeling is acceptable to many clients. For this money they get an incredible effect that they cannot achieve on their own.

Retinoic facial peeling

Since yellow peeling has a mild effect, but at the same time is highly effective, this method of improving skin condition can be used to combat age-related changes, as well as at a young age. Facial peeling with retinoic acid is carried out in case of increased pigmentation, the presence of scars and acne scars, and facial wrinkles.

Retinoic peeling has a positive effect on the skin after the first procedure, which in some cases is sufficient in the absence of serious problems with the skin. In most cases, for effectiveness it is necessary to carry out 3-4 procedures, between which it is necessary to maintain a gap of 2 weeks. The exact number of sessions can only be determined by a cosmetologist after a preliminary consultation.

Who needs peeling?

The procedure is intended for those with mature skin. It is for this reason that older women most often leave reviews about retinoic peeling. Photos before and after the session make it clear that the procedure is truly effective and worthy of attention.

As a rule, patients aged 35-50 years turn to peeling. For younger women, the procedure will be useful in the following cases:

• overly rich and bright pigmentation;
• many pimples and blackheads;
• too strong activity of the sebaceous glands;
• pronounced acne scars;
• first destructive skin changes;
• skin diseases.

How to prepare for the procedure

Before carrying out yellow peeling, mandatory preparation is required; you need to start 1-2 weeks in advance. If necessary, the cosmetologist may recommend light peeling to soften the skin. The doctor also prescribes special creams based on glycolic acid, which will prepare the skin for the procedure, this will help the active ingredients penetrate as deeply as possible under the skin.

It is important not to hide from the cosmetologist about the presence of any acute infectious diseases, poor health, malaise and taking medications. If there are any, a visit to a cosmetologist should be postponed for a while.

Is it permissible to use foundation, on what day can it be applied?

Foundation or fluid is the basis of any makeup. You should forget about it for 2 weeks after peeling, or even more, and after this period, take care of purchasing a high-quality foundation with sun protection (SPF).

Important ! Before you start using foundation after peeling, you need to consult a cosmetologist.

A cheap foundation can ruin your skin - it clogs your pores. Therefore, low-quality cosmetics are definitely not suitable. It is better if the cosmetologist recommends a manufacturer or line of products that can be used after peeling.

The essence of the procedure

Yellow peeling looks similar to a regular mask. Before the procedure itself, the specialist mixes the product in a container; if necessary, additional substances are added to help saturate the skin.

After the composition is ready, the patient lies on the couch and the cosmetologist begins to peel in stages:

1. Before applying the peeling itself, the cosmetologist cleanses the surface of the skin from impurities, makeup, dust and sebaceous fat using a product.
2. After cleansing, a composition consisting of glycolic and salicylic acid is applied to the skin, which will help prepare the skin and soften the stratum corneum as much as possible. After some time, the cosmetologist removes the remaining product and proceeds to the next stage.
3. Using a cosmetic spatula, peeling is applied to the skin; it should be distributed as much as possible over the skin and have a dense but thin layer. When applied, the specialist does not affect the eyelid area, as well as the growth areas of eyelashes, hair and eyebrows.

The mask must be kept on the face for about 20 minutes, during which time it becomes harder. After time, the mask is removed with a film and the cosmetologist treats the skin with a special product with a high degree of sun protection.

Ingoda, the procedure can be carried out a little differently:

1. Cleansing the skin with a salicylic acid-based product.
2. Peeling is applied in several thin layers until slight redness appears.
3. After several hours, the product is washed off with water and then treated with the product.

The method depends on the condition of the skin and the desired result.

After how many days can I apply makeup?

Girls are warned in advance, even before the procedure, that after it they will have to forget about decorative cosmetics for a while . Usually, a cosmetologist gives instructions on the period of refusal of makeup on an individual basis, because a lot depends on the type of peeling, skin sensitivity, and personal characteristics.

On average, until the skin has completely healed (12-14 days), cosmetologists do not recommend using cosmetics. But skincare cosmetics have their place. Even the cosmetologist himself, after the procedure, can make a list of products that can be used. These will definitely be soft nourishing and moisturizing products that can be used a day after peeling, and always with sun protection (SPF).

• tightness;
• peeling;
