Peeling with succinic acid - the effectiveness of the procedure

Amber peeling has become popular among all skincare complexes for cleansing the face and neck. Amber has been valued for many centuries. This stone is a natural source of vitality, its magical particles were often used by healers and white magicians in ancient times. Using acid you can carry out a cosmetic procedure; it cleanses and regenerates. Amber frees them from poisons, adjusts them to proper functioning, launches regenerating complexes and gives life-giving forces to dying tissues.

Mechanism of action

Amber peeling involves cleansing the face of the upper layer of the epidermis (dead cells and various types of impurities).

This procedure is a superficial one, but even with such a gentle effect on the tissue, the process of skin renewal is accelerated, aging is slowed down, and toxins are removed.

Succinic acid has many features and unique functions. It is able to adapt to certain epithelial cells, provide a targeted effect in the presence of any damage and remove excess pigment.

This compound is involved in metabolic processes inside the cell. For this reason, succinic acid promotes rejuvenation, removes breakdown products and removes dead particles. As a result, the synthesis and release of elastin and collagen increases, the elasticity and tone of the skin increases. Additionally, microcirculation improves, tissue resistance increases when exposed to negative environmental factors.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Succinic acid, a succinate, serves as the primary biochemical element in the electron transport chain, that is, cell respiration. Succinate is actively involved in the skin respiration process, due to which the exfoliation of keratinized keritnocytes is enhanced and the growth of new cells is enhanced.

Who is it suitable for?

Due to the safety of use and the gentle effect of the main component, peeling with succinic acid can be prescribed to patients of any age and with any skin type if there are indications for use, for example, in the presence of acne, age spots, and facial wrinkles.

Briefly about the cosmetic procedure

Today, using succinic acid, you can perform an amazing, but very effective facial peeling procedure. It will free cells from toxins, set them up to work properly, launch restoration processes and give life-giving strength to fading particles.

Amber peeling is a superficial type of facial cleansing, but its effect on cells is impressive. An amazing feature of this peeling can be considered the recreation and stimulation of important processes not only in working cells, but also in dying ones. It cannot do without a cleansing, soothing and healing effect on the epidermis.

There are several options for cleansing with succinic acid:

• Peeling with the application of an amber mask is a delicate procedure, more aimed at healing and restoring the skin. After regular use of such masks, patients note softness, hydration of the skin, wrinkles lose their expressiveness, and fine wrinkles disappear altogether;
• Peeling-brossage with an amber agent is a more effective procedure from a cleansing point of view. In addition to succinic acid, the peeling agent contains tiny grains of amber. The drug acts in two stages - crushed amber removes keratinized layers and improves blood circulation, and the acid of the same name starts a number of vital processes at the cellular level, blocks the action of free radicals, accelerates the formation of new collagen fibers, soothes and strengthens skin cells.

Facial peeling with succinic acid is a universal and affordable skin cleansing procedure. It can be performed both in a cosmetology salon and at home. Minimum contraindications, high and lasting results, no unpleasant consequences - and all this at low cost.

YELLOW PEELING MENE & MOY SYSTEM (USA)

The use of highly concentrated retinoic acid in this peel allows you to achieve a high therapeutic dose of retinoids in the epidermis and dermis in a short period of time, which allows you to minimize the systemic toxic effect of retinoids. An important advantage of peeling is the short recovery period, low percentage of complications, comfort and safety of the procedure for the patient, provided he follows all the recommendations of the cosmetologist.

Indications:

• photoaging;
• hyperpigmentation;
• acne;
• biological aging of the skin.

Peeling

No special preparation is required for amber peeling. You just need to remove makeup with a special product and cleanse your facial skin of impurities. Further actions:

• steaming the skin with a warm compress;
• removing excess moisture with a dry cloth;
• applying an even thin layer of the peeling mixture with a brush or a special spatula;
• wait about 10 minutes;
• removal of residual product.

During a salon procedure, sometimes cosmetologists use neutralizing tonics to completely remove acids from the surface of the skin. Then the doctor gives all the necessary recommendations and sends you home.

Care instructions

For the first week, you cannot visit the pool, sauna, bathhouse, or solarium. For maximum effect, it is necessary to apply moisturizing creams, use soft tonics and washing gels.

Cosmetologists advise regularly (not only after the procedure) to apply sunscreen with an SPF of 25 or more.

How often can rejuvenation be performed?

The frequency of cleansing using succinic acid depends on the general condition of the epidermis and the problems that need to be eliminated. You can rely on standard recommendations depending on your skin type:

• fatty type – up to three times a month;
• normal – up to two times a month;
• dry – once a month.

The maximum effect is achieved by completing a peeling course of 10–14 sessions.

Precautionary measures

Before performing a salon or home procedure, it is very important to conduct a so-called sensitivity test.
The fact is that with the first or second use of a cosmetic product, an allergic reaction may occur, significantly worsening the appearance and state of health. That is why it is first recommended to apply a couple of drops of peeling to the inside of the forearm, wait 5-10 minutes and rinse. When hypersensitivity occurs, the area will become red, swollen, break out in a rash, or become very itchy.

Side effects

Immediately after the procedure, discomfort may be felt in the form of tightness, burning, and redness of the skin. All of these symptoms should disappear on their own or after applying moisturizer for 24 hours. Such a clinical picture is not considered a complication.

Undesirable effects include the appearance of:

• severe itching;
• swelling of the tissue;
• rash;
• red and clearly defined spots;
• inflammation due to infection (extremely rare).

It is prohibited to take any measures on your own. You must first contact the doctor who performed the peeling in a salon, or visit a local therapist or dermatologist.

Contraindications

Cosmetic products containing succinic acid are safe and therefore have a minimum number of contraindications. The list includes:

• individual intolerance to the main component or auxiliary elements;
• tendency to form an allergic reaction;
• acute phase of an infectious inflammatory process involving the skin of the face;

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

Succinic acid, as a source of cell energy, is unfavorable for the inflammatory reaction, which accelerates several times. Thus, peeling with succinic acid aggravates the infectious inflammatory process.

• herpetic rashes;
• violation of the integrity of the skin in the form of cracks, wounds, abrasions, burns.

Peeling during pregnancy and breastfeeding is discussed individually with a specialist; generally, the cleansing procedure is postponed to a more favorable period.

Work is still underway to study the effect of such a controversial substance on internal organs. There are suggestions about a possible connection between taking tablets with it and the formation of stones in the gall bladder and kidneys.

Carrying out at home

For greatest safety, it is better to buy ready-made gels and creams. However, you can prepare an exfoliating mask at home. The sources describe the following recipe:

• purchase succinic acid in tablet form at the pharmacy;
