Peelings: types and features, who is suitable
Proper skin care should include regular office cosmetology procedures. Facial cleansing and peeling are basic procedures that are suitable for almost everyone and help gently prevent age-related changes in the skin, fight rashes and other problems.
In this article, we will talk in detail about peelings – what kind of procedure it is, what types of peelings exist, who will benefit from the technique, and when it is better to make an appointment with a cosmetologist.
What is peeling
Peeling is one of the basic cosmetology procedures aimed at exfoliating the upper layer of the skin. This is done in order to improve the appearance of the skin, smooth out small wrinkles, lightening of age spots, reducing visibility scars and other traces of post-acne.
Various types of peels
When signing up for a peeling procedure at a clinic of aesthetic medicine and dermatology, you should understand that peelings are of different types:
- chemical – special chemical acids (glycolic, salicylic, lactic, etc.) are used for the procedure. This helps to exfoliate the upper layers of the skin quite delicately and without mechanical impact;
- enzymatic – enzymes or enzymes capable of splitting the bonds between horny scales are used to exfoliate the skin;
- mechanical – exfoliation occurs with the help of mechanical impact on the skin, for which cosmetics with abrasive particles are used. Special tools can also be used for mechanical peeling.
Each type of peeling has its own unique features, is suitable for different skin types and helps with different problems. At Esteva Clinic, chemical peeling is performed, the advantages and features of which we describe in detail below.
How the technique works
The mechanism of action of chemical peeling consists in the correct use and combination of acids, which allows you to dissolve the bonds between the cells of the stratum corneum of the skin. This is the top layer of the skin, so the technique affects only the surface itself, without affecting deeper tissues.
At the moment the acids hit the skin, the active substances penetrate into the upper layer. The depth of this penetration depends on the type of acid, as well as its concentration and time spent on the skin.
After the top layer of skin is removed, the regeneration process starts. The skin begins to actively produce new cells, which leads to renewal and improvement of its structure.
There are types of chemical peeling that are able to penetrate deeper layers of the skin (dermis). Then there is an additional stimulation of collagen production, thanks to which the skin becomes more elastic, and small wrinkles are smoothed out.
What problems does it solve
Peeling can help solve the following cosmetic and dermatological problems:
- smoothing and elimination of small wrinkles;
- improvement of skin relief and texture, smoothing of post-acne scars;
- certain acids help control acne, reduce inflammation and clear pores;
- reducing the visibility of pigmented and stagnant spots;
- returning the skin to a healthy tone and radiance;
- decreasing the visibility of pores, regulation of sebum production.
Results of peeling
After the procedure, the skin will need recovery. This process can take from several days to several weeks, depending on the skin itself and the type of peeling. Also, the type of acid and its strength will affect the result. The main results of chemical peeling include:
- updated skin texture that becomes smoother and more even;
- increasing elasticity and elasticity of the skin;
- equalization of skin tone, removal of pigment spots, freckles, redness;
- reduction of fine lines, especially in delicate areas around the mouth and eyes;
- improvement of skin condition with acne and reducing post-acne manifestations;
- decreasing the visibility of pores;
- acceleration of skin regeneration and renewal.
Advantages of the procedure
Undisputed advantages of the procedure include its absolute non-invasiveness, lack of traumatization of the skin and a serious rehabilitation period. The procedure is as comfortable and safe as possible, and is not accompanied by painful sensations.
In addition, peeling is a fairly affordable and widespread technique, and cosmetologists usually have a lot of experience in performing it.
Changes in the skin occur quite quickly and are visible to the naked eye. Depending on the type of skin and the selected peeling, the visible result may be noticeable after a few days or weeks.
What is the length of the peeling course
Since peels work gently and affect the skin very carefully, to achieve the maximum result, you need to complete a full course of procedures. On average, for a visible effect, 3-6 procedures, performed at an interval of 1 week, are enough. In order to keep the skin in good condition, such courses are recommended to be repeated several times a year.
Who is suitable for skin peels
Peeling is a universal procedure, as the doctor can choose the combination and concentration of substances for any type of skin and various dermatological problems.
Peeling can be done at any age. Depending on the patient’s skin, the cosmetologist will select the optimal substances and carry out the procedure in such a way as to help solve your cosmetology request.
