MediDerma yellow peelings - how the procedure works

Retinoic peeling refers to products that act on the superficial-middle layers of the skin. This composition not only effectively exfoliates the dead stratum corneum and promotes cell renewal, but is also characterized by high tolerability, the absence of a long rehabilitation period and maximum painlessness of the procedure. In addition, retinoids (artificial analogues of vitamin A produced by cells) practically do not cause post-peeling complications that are characteristic of the use of most AHA and BHA acids, which allows retinoic peeling to be carried out even in the summer.

The work of retinoic peeling does not lead to the destruction of living cells, protein coagulation and injury to the skin, so the composition is suitable even for patients with thin, dry and sensitive skin. The results of its effect on the epidermis are:

• stimulation of the synthesis of collagen and elastin, as well as components of the intercellular matrix of the dermis
• deep cleansing and renewal of the skin due to the keratolytic effect of retinoic acid
• reduction in the number of atypical dermal cells
• increasing the overall level of firmness and elasticity of the skin
• smoothing of deep and medium wrinkles
• increasing the natural immunity of the skin
• reduction in the number of inflammatory elements

By exerting a targeted effect on skin cells, yellow peeling starts the rejuvenation process, so this composition is especially effective in combating signs of age-related changes and photoaging of the skin.

What is yellow peeling

Yellow peels are classified as medium peels and have a number of significant differences:

• do not cause a strong burning sensation;
• require special preparation that loosens the epidermis;
• the recovery period takes only 2-3 days and is not accompanied by severe peeling of the skin (pityriasis type peeling, the use of moisturizing creams and decorative cosmetics can easily hide the consequences).

The products contain various forms and derivatives of vitamin A. It is thanks to these substances that they have a rich yellow tint and a characteristic aroma.

The procedure can only be performed by cosmetologists; it is prohibited to use peeling preparations on your own.

Indications for use:

• Photo and bio aging, finely wrinkled skin type;
• Cuperosis;
• Acne I-II degree;
• Increased oily skin;
• Minor scarring;
• Hyperpigmentation, melasma.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Features of retinoic peeling also include additional precautions after the procedure. It is important to avoid exposure to direct sunlight and not be exposed to ultraviolet radiation. A photochemical reaction with the formation of a deep skin burn is possible.

Recovery period and doctor’s recommendations after peeling

Mediderm yellow peeling must be performed in a cosmetology clinic by an experienced cosmetologist. To achieve the desired results, you must adhere to the recommendations and advice of your doctor. After peeling, processes such as peeling, redness, swelling, tightness, and increased sensitivity of the skin may occur for 2-5 days.

Recommendations after the Yellow Peel procedure:

• Minimize touching your skin and avoid makeup completely for a few days.
• For the first seven days, stop visiting the solarium, gym, sauna, and swimming pool.
• Use post-peeling cosmetics to care for facial skin.
• Apply sunscreen to your skin before going outside.
• Do not make any independent attempts to remove the crust. Only on the 14th day after the procedure can you perform a light scrub, after consulting with a specialist.

Operating principle and effectiveness

Retinoic or yellow peeling is a delicate type of skin cleansing that combines four areas:

• gentle removal of dead, “non-working” particles of the epidermis that interfere with the normal functioning of tissues;
• correction of age-related changes on the face - the product has a slight lifting effect;
• therapeutic effects on the skin (hyperkeratosis, seborrhea, oiliness, acne and other problems);
• elimination of pigmentation, whitening of the epidermis.

The procedure is a superficial peeling, that is, it affects only the upper layers, which guarantees a minimal recovery period and an almost complete absence of complications and pronounced side effects. It’s not for nothing that yellow peeling is called a “weekend” procedure. If you do it on Friday, then on Monday you can safely return to your usual lifestyle.

Mediderma retinoic peeling is considered one of the safest and most effective. The secret lies in the composition. The complex contains three retinol molecules with different rates of action, which ensures long-lasting results. After all, the level of this active component in the skin is maintained.

After a brief excursion into the theoretical part, it’s time to inquire about the effectiveness of the drug from the Spanish manufacturer.

1. Stimulation of skin rejuvenation. Thanks to the influence of active components, the processes of production of collagen and elastin cells are accelerated. Regeneration processes are stimulated, the condition of cell membranes improves, which enhances protection against free radicals.
2. Increasing local immunity. The epidermis receives sufficient potential to combat infectious agents, the risk of suppuration is minimized, and acne is prevented.
3. Evens out skin tone. Thanks to the effects of retinols, the activity of enzymes responsible for the production of melanin decreases. Pigment spots are eliminated, the face acquires an even tone.
4. Adding freshness. Removing dead cells helps improve cellular respiration and nutrient absorption. And this affects the appearance. The face becomes fresh, soft, pink.
5. Lifting effect. Small wrinkles are eliminated and more pronounced ones are minimized. Creases and jowls are corrected.
6. Fights acne, pimples, millia, as well as scars and scars from old rashes.

Mediderma retinoic peeling is indicated not only for women who have noticed age-related changes on their face, but also for young ladies under 30 years old who have certain problems with the epidermis.

Let us repeat - yellow peeling is not an overly aggressive procedure; it affects only the upper layers of epidermal tissue and does not provide for a long recovery period.

Retinoic yellow peeling

Application protocol

The mechanism of action of retinoic peels is fundamentally different from the mechanism of action of other chemical peels. Retinoids do not damage the skin and do not coagulate proteins. By interacting with their own nuclear receptors of basal keratinocytes, melanocytes and fibroblasts, retinoids:

• increase the level of mitotic activity of basal keratinocytes;
• normalize the processes of differentiation and keratinization in the epidermis;
• stimulate the synthesis of epidermal lipids;
• activate the synthesis of components of the intercellular matrix of the dermis;
• normalize melanin synthesis;
• reduce the number of atypical cells.

As a result, the appearance of age-related skin changes of various etiologies slows down, pigmentation decreases, and skin texture and relief improves. Regarding peelings of superficial influence in terms of depth of penetration, according to the results obtained, the retinoic peeling BLOCK AGE PEEL CREAM of the MEDICCONTROLPEEL line is comparable to peelings of medium influence, for example, such as 25% trichloroacetic. Histological studies have shown that the stimulating effect on the cellular structures of the skin persists for another 4 months after the last application of retinoids. The formulation of the drug includes retinoic acid at a concentration of 5%, which ensures high performance of BLOCK AGE PEEL CREAM. The glycolic, phytic and ascorbic acids included in the composition also complement the action of retinoids and ensure maximum results and comfort of the procedure.

4. Cleanser mousse

Pre-peeling preparation

Important! Pre-peel preparation is a mandatory procedure, since otherwise hyperkeratosis will interfere with the penetration of retinoids and significantly reduce the effectiveness of chemical peeling. For 14–21 days before peeling, the patient should apply Prepeel Medium or Prepeel Active cream to cleansed skin at night. In the morning you must use Mediscreen sunscreen.

Post-peeling care

The duration of the rehabilitation period is 4–8 days. During the day, apply Vegefarma cream as needed, and Mediscreen sunscreen in the morning.

Expected reactions

Erythema in the area of ​​peeling (similar to active tanning in a solarium) that persists for 2–4 days. Slight swelling of the treated area is possible. As a rule, swelling appears in patients with pasty, swelling-prone skin. 12–48 hours after peeling, depending on the severity of hyperkeratosis in a given patient, large-lamellar or small-lamellar exfoliation (peeling) is observed. On 2-3 days after the procedure, the patient may be bothered by itching, as an individual reaction of the body to retinoids. Due to the fact that retinoids penetrate the papillary dermis and enter the bloodstream, exerting a systemic effect, exfoliation can be observed even in areas where peeling was not performed. These phenomena are expected and are not symptoms of an allergic reaction. It is very important to inform the patient about this during the consultation.

Peeling programs

The basic course consists of 3-5 procedures, which are carried out at intervals of 6-10 weeks. The course is conducted 1–2 times a year. Retinoic peeling - yellow peeling.

• Fever of any origin;
• Violation of the integrity of the skin;
• Furuncle, facial carbuncle;
