Chemical peel procedure and results
The essence of peeling is to apply a special composition to the skin of the patient’s body or face, which allows you to create a mild chemical burn on it. At the same time, the aggressive composition frees the deep layers from dead cells, “burning” the upper, very thin part. Fresh, renewed, healthy skin appears in place of “burnt” cells.
For medium and deep peels, pre-peeling preparation is required. Its duration is from 2 to 8 weeks. It can combine both the use of weakly acidic bleaching solutions and the intake of antioxidant drugs orally. This set of procedures evens out the thickness of the stratum corneum, and acid preparations penetrate the skin more evenly. This reduces the risk of excessive pigmentation in the future.
It is recommended to stop using external retinoids (Retin-A) 1 week before peeling, and internal retinoids (Roaccutane) 6 months before, as they enhance the process of skin exfoliation. It is also necessary to stop traumatic cosmetic procedures such as hair removal 1 week in advance, and mechanical and laser resurfacing 6 months in advance.
Before peeling, the skin is thoroughly cleaned and degreased to ensure more uniform penetration of the drug. Areas that will not be exposed to the drug are protected with Vaseline, gauze pads, etc. Within 30 seconds, the drug is applied in the sequence: forehead - cheeks - chin - nose. The exposure time of the drug is individual and depends on the skin reaction, the patient’s subjective feelings and other factors, but, as a rule, it lasts from 0.5 to 5 minutes.
After this, the acidic composition is usually neutralized with alkali (optional, depending on the drug) and the skin is washed, dried and cooled.
The total duration of the procedure is from 20 minutes to 2 hours.
The best time for medium and deep peels is autumn and winter, to avoid exposure of the skin to active sunlight.
The procedure is not only capable of exfoliating dead cells. In addition, it evens out and brightens the surface of the skin, removes unevenness, scars, acne, age spots, excess skin around the eyes, bags, fine and deep wrinkles.
Deep peels are designed to solve very serious problems, eliminating age-related changes and defects on the skin of the face, neck and hands. As a result of this, turgor improves, its elasticity increases and it is completely renewed.
Rules of application
Faberlic peelings are applied to clean, moisturized skin in a thin layer along massage lines, excluding the area around the eyes.
For maximum effectiveness, lightly massage with your fingertips and leave for 5-10 minutes. Then rinse off the product with warm water using a cosmetic sponge and blot off any remaining moisture with a dry towel. To prevent skin care from ending sadly, when applying the cleansing composition, adhere to the following safety rules:
- do not resort to the procedure more often than the manufacturer recommends;
- Be sure to familiarize yourself with the list of contraindications;
- protect your eyes and nose from chemicals;
- do not leave the peeling on the skin for longer than the time specified in the instructions for use;
- If you experience discomfort (only a slight tingling sensation and a feeling of warmth are allowed), you should immediately wash your face with cool water and apply a light soothing cream.
How to properly cleanse your face?
- Stage. 1. Cleansing.
You can carry out the cleansing procedure with any cosmetic product; the choice is quite wide: from gels to mousses. The main thing to consider is the characteristics and type of skin.
Milk and cream are suitable for sensitive and aging skin. It is applied to dry skin like a “liquid soap”: applied, massaged, rinsed with water. Foam or mousse is applied to a damp face. For dry skin, you can use a toner as a cleanser.
- Stage 2. Toning.
Tonics and lotions enhance the effect of other cosmetics and work in tandem with them. In addition, they soothe the skin, restore the acid-base balance and tighten pores, preparing the skin for the third stage.
- Stage 3. Applying emulsion and cream.
Depending on the time of day, the effect of creams varies. Day creams protect and moisturize the skin and are often the basis for makeup. Night creams restore and nourish the skin.
Also, before applying moisturizer, you can first smear your face with an emulsion to prevent your skin from losing moisture after toning. The emulsion has a light structure and is quickly absorbed; it not only moisturizes and prepares the skin for subsequent care, but also creates a kind of barrier on the skin that will prevent moisture loss.
Care instructions
After using chemical scrubs and gels, it is recommended to adhere to the following rules:
- Skin hydration is an important point that needs to be given special attention. In the first days after peeling, it is advisable to use light texture water-based creams. The composition must contain antioxidants.
- UV protection - it is better to postpone visiting the solarium and the beach for 3-4 days, since exposure to UV rays can not only lead to dry skin, but also contribute to the appearance of pigmentation. When going outside, you need to apply cream with SPF to your face.
- Prevention of inflammation - after chemical exposure, the epidermis needs time to recover. During this period, you should avoid unnecessary touching of your face with your hands to avoid infection. It is advisable to wash your face with products with an airy foam-like texture without rubbing. You will have to temporarily abandon toners and makeup removers.
- Refusal of decorative cosmetics is another restriction for the first 3-4 days after peeling. Due to the content of various dyes and harmful enzymes in cosmetics, which can increase inflammation and cause an allergic reaction.
Contraindications
Chemical peels are not recommended for people:
- with an allergy to the components of the cleansing composition;
- wounds, abrasions, inflamed acne on the face;
- cold;
- dermatitis, herpes in the acute stage;
- malignant formations on the skin.
Important! Gel from the “Expert” series with AHA acids cannot be used during menstruation, during pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or in case of hormonal imbalances.
What is a chemical peel?
Chemical peeling or exfoliation is a doctor-controlled burn of the skin to achieve the desired cosmetic effect after recovery.
The procedure is primarily aimed at exfoliating the top layer of skin cells. Its purpose is to smooth and cleanse the surface of the epidermis, as well as facilitate access to fresh, young, moisture-rich cells, giving the skin a radiant and fresh appearance.
Peeling can be carried out using completely different methods - for example, there are procedures using ultrasound, laser, acid, enzymes, mechanical dermabrasion, etc.
