Atraumatic facial cleansing: pros and cons of the procedure

In the modern world, atraumatic facial cleansing is a popular and sought-after procedure. This is a superficial chemical peeling, which is carried out using various weakly concentrated acids. Most often, fruit acids are used for this. It is important to understand that this type involves exposure only at the epidermal level.

Atraumatic cleaning cannot be called a new procedure, because it has been used for a very long time. This method of cleansing the face without damaging the top layer of skin is gentle and allows you to get rid of excess sebum and other impurities. The procedure should be carried out on previously cleansed and steamed skin. The acids used during cleansing very delicately cleanse pores and help exfoliate dead cells. As a result of this, the skin begins to “breathe” better, blood circulation and metabolic processes are normalized, blackheads, inflammation and acne disappear.

Procedure

Cleaning is carried out in several stages:

1. Washing, in which the face is prepared for cleansing. The special preparation is applied to the face. This allows you to dissolve fat, remove makeup and dirt;
2. Liquid peeling. A mask with acids is applied, which allows you to remove impurities, soften the top layer of skin and expand the pores. Most often, glycolic acid is used for this procedure;
3. Repeated peeling. Now they use a stronger solution and add fruit juices and enzymes. The solution is applied using massage pats. This procedure enlarges pores and removes fat plugs. For each skin type, their own solutions are selected;
4. Peeling with enzymes. Whey protein is used here, which helps remove remaining impurities in the pores and moisturizes the skin, according to reviews;
5. Hydration. A compress is applied for ten minutes, then the skin is completely cleansed and treated with lotion, which soothes the skin and removes inflammation;
6. A mask with an anti-inflammatory effect, thanks to which the pores close, as you can see in the photo, the result before and after.

Operating principle

When steaming, the pores begin to open, which allows the active substances of the acids used to penetrate into the deep layer of the epidermis. Intercellular connections begin to weaken, and keratinized particles are exfoliated. At the same time, impurities soften and the structure of sebum changes. Accordingly, the ducts of the sebaceous glands are cleared and superficial comedones disappear. Some of the dirt that has clogged up in the pores finally comes out during the procedure.

According to reviews of girls who have undergone this procedure, the sensations are very pleasant, you can relax and there is no discomfort.

Acids used

The choice of acids plays a very important role. First of all, it should depend on the existing problem and skin condition. The efficiency of the entire process depends on the choice of acids. For superficial peeling the following is used: lactic, malic, tartaric, citric and other acids. Lactic acid can be obtained from sour milk or blueberries, tartaric acid from wine and grapes, malic acid from sugar maple or apples, and citric acid from pineapple and all citrus fruits. If a person has quite problematic skin and excess sebum, the most correct option in this case is salicylic acid. It has an antiseptic effect, remarkably cleanses pores, and removes mechanical impurities.

Glycolic acid is an acid that is quite effective for cleansing the face. The molecules of this acid are the smallest among the molecules of other acids. Therefore, the substance penetrates faster and better into the layers of the skin, and the cleansing effect is noticeable immediately.

Citric acid is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes accumulated radicals in the skin. The acid has antibacterial properties and promotes the disappearance of age spots.

Malic acid is a substance that stimulates the production of collagen, which accelerates the process of skin regeneration. It has antibacterial and antioxidant properties, protects the skin from the effects of external negative factors and fills it with essential microelements. Each acid has its own specific advantages. Lactic acid moisturizes the skin well, tartaric acid whitens and eliminates age spots. Apple – restores important processes in cells and saturates them. Retinoic acid is especially effective in treating acne and pimples. This occurs due to the fact that the level of sebum is normalized and the thickness of the stratum corneum is reduced.

The most effective is the use of acids in combination. Vitamins are often added to them: vitamin A, E. To achieve a lifting effect and deep moisturizing of the skin, hyaluronic acid can be added to the mixture. Arbutin gives an equally good effect. It is somewhat similar to the effect of lactic acid. Lactic acid combined with arbutin helps even out skin tone and is ideal for use after acne treatment.

GAS LIQUID PEELING

To improve the appearance of the skin, gas-liquid peeling is actively used today. This non-contact procedure allows you to remove dead scales from the surface of the face, moisturize the skin, and rid it of various types of defects.

Gas-liquid peeling also provides a superficial massage. A device designed for peeling sprays a water-gas mixture from a special nozzle. The composition includes oxygen and carbon dioxide. Spraying occurs at supersonic speed, which allows you to perfectly cleanse the skin. Droplets of solution turn into abrasive. The liquid, which is sprayed under pressure, penetrates deeply into the skin and nourishes and moisturizes it.

This type of peeling allows you to refresh the skin and smooth out facial wrinkles without pain or other unpleasant sensations. The results are especially noticeable in the mouth area and around the eyes. The skin is effectively moisturized, and during the procedure there is an acceleration of lymph and blood flow.

Gas-liquid peeling has become popular due to its many advantages. These include:

• use of harmless components;
• reduction of wrinkles;
• skin lifting;
• reduction of swelling;
• improvement of complexion;
• getting rid of acne or post-acne.

This type of peeling is indicated for:

• acne and post-acne;
