Should I have my face peeled by a cosmetologist?

With age, the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in the body slows down, so for the sake of smooth and beautiful skin, many girls resort to hyaluronic acid injections. But not everyone knows that there is a much more pleasant alternative - hyaluronic peeling.

Hyaluronic cleansing not only saturates the cells with moisture, but also tightens the oval of the face and evens out the shade. At the same time, the session is more reminiscent of a SPA than a clinic. This is because hyaluronate peeling does not cause any pain or even minimal burning.

The method itself belongs to the category of superficial. Like other similar treatments, hyaluronic exfoliants soften and slough away dead cells.

The peeling of dead horny scales of the epidermis lasts for 2 weeks, so the skin is renewed delicately. Refreshed and rejuvenated epidermis ultimately looks more attractive and better absorbs water, oxygen and cosmeceuticals.

WHAT IS HYALURON FACIAL PEELING

Glycosaminoglycans are valued in cosmetology due to their special chemical properties. When they break down, they release large amounts of water, which is why they have gained popularity as an effective moisturizer.

Good skin hydration helps smooth out the network of fine wrinkles and thickens the epidermis, which helps retain moisture from the inside. There are practically no complications or allergic reactions after hyaluronic exfoliation.

Hyaluronic exfoliants transport active components deep into the skin due to their low molecular structure. At the same time, a thin breathable film is formed on the surface of the face, which prevents moisture loss and harmful atmospheric influences.

Hyaluronic cleansing is called “all-season” and sometimes even “summer” , but it is still better to carry it out during the cloudy season.

Operating principle

Scientists discovered hyaluronic exfoliants about 100 years ago, and in the modern world the artificial synthesis of this active substance has already been mastered. Synthetic hyaluronic acid (HA) even surpasses the original in its hypoallergenic and antibacterial parameters.

Main functions of hyaluronate:

• Binds water molecules and prevents their volatilization;
• Protects against bacteria and infections;
• Speeds up metabolism;
• Clears toxins, binds free radicals (ANTIAGE).

The result is firmer skin with a healthy glow.

In the human body, the substance is present in the joints, cartilage or vitreous part of the eye.

In medicine, it is used to treat relevant tissues (for example, osteoarthritis or cataracts). There are scientific studies on the effectiveness of HA in the fight against cancer.

Indications for the procedure

Indications for peeling with hyaluronic acid:

1. Any skin type;
2. Dehydration;
3. A network of wrinkles;
4. Photoaging;
5. Enlarged pores;
6. Seborrhea;
7. Hyperpigmentation.

Contraindications and precautions

The method of exfoliation with hyaluronic peeling is quite safe, but in some cases it is worth canceling the session:

1. If the skin is damaged, there are open wounds;
2. If the infection has worsened (herpes, smallpox, etc.);
3. Against the background of weakened immunity;
4. Pregnant and lactating;
5. At the height of the beach season;
6. If you are allergic to the components of the product;
7. For rosacea (additional consultation with a specialist is required).

Physical and technical developments

Based on the ability of the studied physical properties to influence the skin, a variety of medical equipment has been created. In cosmetology, the use of special devices has already become a tradition. After all, it is much easier to adjust, for example, the length of the beam in order to adjust the depth of penetration into the tissue, than to completely control the chemical reaction.

Basic hardware facial peeling techniques

• Radiofrequency or RF peeling. Cleansing is carried out by exposing the dermis to low-frequency currents through glycerin. In this case, not only the detachment of the stratum corneum occurs, but also the stimulation of collagen fibers, due to which a rejuvenating effect is achieved. Equipment for performing the technique is tuned to certain frequencies, this makes it possible to monitor the depth of penetration into the tissue and avoid burns due to omission.
• Laser. The wide possibilities of medical applications of lasers (you can refer to the article about laser rejuvenation) have been known for a long time. Controlling a hot beam capable of purposefully penetrating into different layers of the epidemic allows for the implementation of several different techniques (not simultaneously, of course), which is provided by the regulation of the light wavelength. This includes:

1. Exfoliation + rejuvenation;
2. Depilation;
3. Removal of tumors;
4. Getting rid of low-quality tattoos.

In addition, there are a large number of laser devices that differ in operating principles, which can be used with varying degrees of success depending on the goals set. Laser peeling quite powerfully launches the rejuvenation process; in the experienced hands of a doctor, it is safe and deservedly considered an alternative to surgical facelift.

Laser peeling - starts the rejuvenation process

• Vacuum. It has a very wide spectrum of action due to the use of special attachments used for their intended purpose. That is, to solve the problem of excessive sebum secretion, one type is used, and to treat acne, a completely different one. In combination with the diamond peeling technique, it actively participates in organizing skin renewal. The essence of the method is simple: depending on the patient’s problem, a specific nozzle is selected, then the problem area is treated by removing unnecessary components using a vacuum. And as we remember from the school course, a vacuum is an airless region that creates a zone of negative pressure that can draw in even something that holds very well.

In a cosmetological sense - traffic jams, keratinized particles, deep impurities, and other unnecessary elements that do not want to separate on their own. At the same time, a massage also occurs, which encourages young cells, stimulates their regeneration, and ensures the normalization of turgor. The procedure has earned good reviews for its painlessness, effectiveness, versatility, and accessibility.

Physics + chemistry = excellent result

• Ultrasonic. A fairly common technique, which is performed using a special spatula tuned to the desired length of a short sound wave. The principle is quite simple: waves of the selected range push sebaceous plugs and old deposits out of the skin, destroy keratinized particles, and facilitate their peeling off from the surface. By creating artificial vibrations, waves are able to stimulate the natural desire of cells for rapid regeneration, which significantly shortens the recovery period.

Among the wide range of hardware methods, a special place is occupied by devices that combine physical and chemical knowledge. They help restore beauty and youth in completely different ways.

HYALURON PEELING IN THE BEAUTY SALON

1 week BEFORE peeling with hyaluronic acid, it is recommended to prepare your facial skin. To do this, we exfoliate dead cells using lotions with a weak content of fruit acids. You can also additionally use hyaluronic care cosmetics.

Procedure protocol step by step:

1. Cleansing and degreasing the skin.
2. Apply peeling for up to 30 minutes. (Initial sessions require a careful approach and minimal exposure.)
3. We neutralize the effect of the hyaluronic reagent with an alkali solution. A slight tingling sensation may be felt.
4. Apply a nourishing mask.
5. We create a protective barrier using UV cream.

The course usually includes 3-10 sessions.

Price for 1 treatment in the salon: from 15 €. The pricing policy is influenced by the cost of basic hyaluronic preparations, as well as the qualifications of the cosmetologist and the general level of the salon.

Hardware skin peeling - microdermabrasion

For this type of hardware peeling, small aluminum oxide crystals are used, which are applied to the skin under pressure (it can be adjusted). Metal particles remove the surface layer of skin, smooth out fine wrinkles and scars. Microdermabrasion is a fairly traumatic procedure, but it allows you to completely renew the skin, although this may require more than ten sessions. Another type of microdermabrasion is diamond peeling - a hardware procedure in which the skin is treated with special attachments, the working surface of which is covered with tiny crystals of artificial or natural diamonds. This type of peeling is good because the exfoliated particles are immediately removed from the surface of the skin using a vacuum. Read more about diamond peeling.

BIOREVITALIZATION WITH HYALURONIC ACID

“BIOREVITALIZATION” refers to the correction of aesthetic imperfections in appearance with hyaluronic acid in a broad sense, whether by injection or other means, to form “natural hydration”.

The role of hyaluronic exfoliants in preserving youth is known to many girls. However, we should not forget that preparations based on such components are not a panacea, and for a pronounced rejuvenation effect it is necessary to take comprehensive care of your face.

Cosmetologist Tiina Orasmäe-Meder:

“BIOREVITALIZATION IS USELESS!”

“The same 15 g of dry hyaluronic acid circulates in the body of a healthy young woman until the age of 60, so biorevitalization until then is, by and large, meaningless. The condition of the skin can worsen at any age if you do not make sure that a sufficient amount of water (2 liters) enters the body daily and that its molecules do not evaporate due to poor barrier functions.”

Aqua peeling

The manipulation is based on the action of two natural forces - water and oxygen. This mixture is supplied at a designated speed through the apparatus. Regulating the flow speed is necessary to accurately influence exactly the depth that is needed in your case. In this case, there is no close contact with the device, which significantly minimizes the risk of infection. The undoubted advantage of this manipulation is its atraumatic nature and universal scope: it can be performed in case of increased sensitivity, on the most delicate areas of the face, it allows people with a skin tendency to keloid scarring to carry out full exfoliation with minimal risk. The sad news is that this is usually a very expensive technique.

HOME USE

It is also possible to use hyaluronic exfoliants at home. In this case, the whole course fits into 1 quarter (sessions are held 2-4 times a month).

Low-molecular-weight peeling preparations have proven themselves to be the best among glycosaminoglycan-based care products. Particles of such peelings easily penetrate the pores. They are made on the basis of hyaluronate in powder or ampoules.

Peeling with hyaluronic acid usually follows the same principle as in the salon: first, the face is washed with a special exfoliating lotion, and then the main cosmeceutical product is applied.

The algorithm of actions at home is as follows:

1. An allergy test is performed on an inconspicuous area of ​​skin.
2. The face is degreased with alcohol-free lotion.
3. A hyaluronic solution is prepared: a special powder is mixed with water until a gel consistency is obtained.
4. The resulting mixture is applied for 30 minutes.
5. Neutralized with alkali.
6. The face is treated with saline solution to normalize the water-lipid layer.
7. Sunscreen is applied.

Additional serum may be applied if necessary.

The skin may turn red after the procedure, but this goes away within 2 hours to 1 day.

In general, recovery between sessions lasts 10 days.

For 3 weeks after peeling with hyaluronic acid, you should not clog pores with decorative cosmetics or exfoliate the epidermis with scrubs.

For 1 week, it is prohibited to sunbathe under the sun or in a solarium or visit the SPA.

Moisturizing with low-fat creams is not prohibited.

Cosmetics during the regeneration period must contain UV filters.

In addition, the composition of care products certainly includes glycosaminoglycans, and dietary supplements based on glycosaminoglycans are sometimes recommended.

Hyaluronic acid after peeling is used to soften and moisturize the epidermis, as well as to prevent fine-plate peeling.

Hardware peeling brossage (brush-peeling, brushing)

Brushing is done using brushes and sponges, which are driven by a special device, for example, Brushing F-830, produced by the Chinese company Silver Fox. The device causes the brushes to rotate, and the cosmetologist moves them directly in the treatment area (taking into account the direction of the skin lines). Hardware brush peeling is a painless procedure; brushes loosen the surface layer of the skin and remove dead skin particles, remove dirt clogged into the pores, and also polish the skin, giving it a smooth and fresh look. Brossage is practiced as an independent procedure or this popular type of hardware peeling is used in preparation for anti-aging cosmetic procedures. Read more about brossage.

WHAT DRUGS DO MANUFACTURERS OFFER?

Peeling with hyaluronic acid can be done at home using proven professional acid preparations.

PROS AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE TECHNIQUE

The advantages of hardware cleaning are considered to be:

• Multilateral effects on the epidermis and dermis;
• Short recovery period (if we are talking about superficial peeling);
• Available in many showrooms.

Hardware peels involve not only physical exfoliation of the face, but also stimulation of blood circulation and collagen production.

There are a number of disadvantages of such cleanings:

• The result depends on the serviceability of the equipment and the professionalism of the cosmetologist, which can be difficult to check in advance.
• As a rule, hardware therapy sessions are much more expensive than chemical ones, and they are carried out only in salons.
• It is also necessary to take into account the cost of accompanying preparations - scrubs that are applied before hardware facial peels - as well as care products.
