Deep facial cleansing – how and what it is done with. 67 photos of the final result

Photos before and after facial cleansing by a cosmetologist filled the virtual space. Many consider the procedure a panacea for many cosmetic defects and take it as a powerful weapon against old age. But are the expectations justified? When is cleaning really necessary? When it does not bring visible changes for the better. We'll tell you in our material.

Modern cosmetology has a huge arsenal for high-quality, painless “general cleaning” of the face. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages. Let's explore each to choose the best method.

For whom and why is facial cleansing required?

Facial cleansing is one of the most significant procedures for both women and men. Contaminated skin performs much fewer functions than clean skin, namely:

• Respiratory
• Protective
• Tactile
• Thermostatic

The photo below shows the result after deep cleansing the skin.

The epidermis, which is not cleansed for a long time, is subject to the appearance of acne, which interferes with the functioning of the sebaceous glands.

Skin cleansing helps:

• Improving blood circulation
• Removing blackheads
• Removing the stratum corneum of the skin
• Establishing Ph balance

At the end of each procedure, the skin looks softer and healthier.

Use of electroplating

Facial cleansing using the desincrustation method is a gentle procedure for all skin types. Cleaning is carried out even for those with thin sensitive skin. For everyone who suffers from redness and irritation. Disincrustation is cleaning with a special device. To begin with, the face is treated with a solution that consists of baking soda (10% concentration), extracts of medicinal herbs, and microelements.

The device produces microcurrents that carry the cleansing solution into the deep layer of the skin. Reacting with sebum, the solution forms soap, and the cosmetologist easily removes it from the surface of the epithelium.

The advantages of the method are enormous:

• keratinized cells are destroyed;
• the pores and ducts of the sebaceous glands are cleansed;
• acne heals;
• complexion improves.

For a number of diseases, such as herpes, seborrhea, during pregnancy and lactation, the procedure may be prohibited. But overall the procedure is safe and delicate.

Mechanical cleaning and its step-by-step implementation

Mechanical cleansing is the most effective method of combating oily skin.

This type of cleaning is carried out manually using special cosmetic tools. Painful sensations may occur during cleansing.

Indications for use

The procedure is prescribed for problematic, oily skin; excessive sebium synthesis leads to clogging of the ducts and the formation of inflammatory elements. The problem often occurs in adolescence and can occur after 30 years. Mechanical cleaning is recommended not only for women, but also for men.

Indications:

• wide pores;
• oily, problem skin;
• demodicosis;
• acne, comedones, milia;
• unhealthy, dull color;
• sagging, decreased elasticity, firmness.

The procedure is not performed for dry, sensitive, irritated dermis; the main goal is to remove acne and milia, restore the normal condition of oily and combination types. It is not recommended to carry out during periods of solar activity, but according to indications it can also be carried out in the summer, it requires compliance with the recommendations of a specialist and the use of products with a high SPF factor.

Pre-cleaning

First of all, you need to remove makeup and accumulated dirt from your face using a tonic or mask. Then steam the skin using a herbal decoction brought to a boil.

If your skin is oily, it will take about 15 minutes; for normal skin, 7 minutes will be enough. At the end of steaming, the skin should be disinfected.

Sequence of the procedure

The process of ultrasonic facial cleansing consists of three stages: preparatory, direct ultrasonic exposure and final. Ultrasonic facial cleansing products are used at all stages.

Skin peeling

At the peeling stage, the face is prepared for the main procedure. Preparation consists of a number of sequential operations.

First, the gel is applied to the face and evenly distributed over it using an ultrasound probe. In this case, cavitation bubbles (steam) are formed, they crack during micro-interaction with the skin and the follicles are cleaned.

Then a liquid from a complex of fruit acids is applied to the face, and cavitation continues (enzyme peeling). At this phase, coarsened particles are removed, the epidermis is cleansed by 20% and even 50%.

After this, a warming mask is applied to the face. For greater warming, the mask is covered with plastic film, also preheated. Then the skin is wiped with a special lotion and a massage is performed.

Ultrasonic action

At this stage, ultrasonic facial cleansing is performed directly. The process takes 10 minutes. A special scraper is passed over the face, emitting ultrasonic waves. During cavitation, the fat in the pores is broken down into liquid and pushed out by ultrasound. The cleansing process is painless, but there may be a slight tingling sensation.

In addition to the direct cleansing effect, the effect of microcurrents normalizes the condition of the epidermis and enhances the processes of healing and cell regeneration. These are additional advantages in favor of the ultrasonic method of facial cleansing.

Final procedures

At the final stage, the last operations are performed. The face is wiped with a soothing agent, then an antioxidant mask is applied. After which the face is again wiped with lotion and lubricated with nourishing cream.

You can watch in more detail how ultrasonic facial cleansing takes place in the video .

The cleaning itself

Upon completion of preliminary cleansing, hands should be thoroughly washed and disinfected. Cleaning should be done starting with clean areas and gradually moving to problematic areas.

The process of squeezing out blackheads should be done with great care so as not to harm the skin.

User reviews

Vera Ivanova, 30 years old, Saratov: Personally, I use deep facial cleansing in the salon using the ultrasound method. It is delicate, and what cannot be ultrasoundd is completed by my master. The photo shows the results before and after. They suit me.

Let's draw conclusions. Often, to achieve results, a cosmetologist uses several cleaning methods in combination. He starts with a mask, moves on to ultrasound, and finishes everything off with manual mechanical cleaning.

What procedures can be combined with?

Ultrasonic peeling can be combined with other skin cleansing procedures. The need for additional funds arises when ultrasound does not cope with the problem. In such cases, combined procedures are used. More often, ultrasonic cleaning is combined with mechanical cleaning. The symbiosis of the two methods increases the effectiveness of ultrasonic peeling and prolongs its duration.

Recently, the opinions of cosmetologists have been divided: some prefer peeling to manual cleaning as a less traumatic procedure, others use combined cleaning as a more productive one.

Massages and masks are compatible with ultrasound procedures, which enhance the effect. Good results in removing age spots are achieved when used together with bleaching agents.

This procedure should not be performed immediately after chemical peeling (see contraindications). Exposure to ultrasound may cause additional facial injuries.

How can ultrasound help?

Recently, cosmetology has been actively using innovative methods of facial cleansing. These include ultrasonic cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaning is absolutely painless, completely safe, never causes irritation and is suitable for absolutely everyone.

The principle of the procedure is the use of high-frequency sound. The device is a microscopic vacuum cleaner. It emits ultrasonic vibrations to draw dirt out of the skin.

What happens in the end:

• cellular metabolism is stimulated;
• blood flow in the vessels improves;
• improves complexion;
• oxygen flow increases.

But ultrasound is not able to “pull out” deep comedones from their holes. And here the cosmetologist uses mechanical cleaning, squeezing out blackheads with his hands. It’s worth knowing: ultrasound is not performed on people with age spots or serious disorders of the heart and blood vessels.

The most modern method is called gas-liquid peeling. Cleaning is carried out by bubbles of oxygen and carbon dioxide, which break the dirt into small particles. Peeling is valued for its bright rejuvenating effect.

Fruit peeling

This procedure requires pineapple (can be replaced with orange) and papaya, from which you should make a paste. Then add 1 tsp. honey or 2-2.5 tbsp diluted gelatin.

Apply the prepared mixture for 20 minutes. onto the skin of the face and then remove.

A traumatic procedure is often accompanied by complications if the protocol is violated or the patient does not comply with the rules of the recovery period:

• persistent redness is often observed with increased skin sensitivity; herbal compresses and regenerating masks are used to speed up recovery;
• swelling goes away within 2-3 days; if it persists for a long time, you need to contact a dermatocosmetologist to find out the cause of the condition;
• hematomas appear when excessive pressure is applied and contraindications to the procedure are neglected;
• inflammation and exacerbation of acne occur when sterility conditions or rules for the tissue healing period are violated;
• scars remain due to excessive pressure on the skin and violation of the cleaning protocol; to eliminate it, it is necessary to undergo a course of hardware procedures;

• When the integument becomes infected, the use of antibacterial drugs is required.

Vacuum skin cleaning

This procedure is carried out with a special device and is applicable to both oily and normal skin, with the exception of particularly severe cases.

Before the procedure, you should treat your face with lotion or tonic. Next, you should begin the cleansing itself, working on each area of ​​the skin for 5-6 minutes. At the end of the procedure, wash with warm water and wipe your face with tonic.

This type of cleaning should be used no more than once every 2-3 weeks.

Advantages and disadvantages of ultrasonic peeling

Like any procedure, ultrasonic facial cleansing has pros and cons. In order to make the right choice in favor of a specific method, cosmetologists advise to compare the ultrasonic method with other methods of facial cleansing and find out which is better. The advantages of ultrasonic cleaning include:

• safety and painlessness;

2. the rejuvenating effect is weakly expressed;
3. short period of action (cleaning must be repeated almost monthly);

How to care for your face after cleansing

• Apply a moisturizing mask or cream to avoid drying out the skin.
• Wash with warm water. You can add herbs.
• Use mild products: foam or lotion.
• You should not visit solariums and expose your skin to active sunlight, or use sunscreen.

Healing period

Immediately after the session, redness is observed, which disappears the next day. Swelling, painful sensitivity, and discomfort may also persist for several days. The main task during the healing period is to restore the protective barrier of the integument. To avoid consequences, you must follow a number of rules:

• It is not recommended to go outside for several days to prevent exposure to aggressive environmental factors;
• You should limit touching your face, use a gel without abrasive particles for cleansing, as well as a tonic with antiseptic properties, a moisturizer, and a sebum-regulating cream;
• for about 10 days you cannot visit the sauna, solarium, gym, swimming pool to avoid tissue infection;
• Do not use decorative cosmetics for about 3 days, then choose products with anti-comedogenic characteristics;
• alcoholic drinks that cause tissue swelling are prohibited;
• for washing, use warm or cool water, hot stimulates the synthesis of sebium, it is advisable to choose boiled or thermal water, but not tap water;
• Before going outside, be sure to apply sunscreen;
• You cannot use scrubs, peels, or carry out procedures that injure the skin;
• To speed up healing, products containing hyaluron and aloe, which have anti-inflammatory and regenerating properties, are prescribed.

Regularity of facial cleansing, possible contraindications

The frequency of cleaning directly depends on the chosen method. But it is not recommended to do the same procedure more than once a month.

The most radical and dangerous way to cleanse the skin is chemical peeling. If it is carried out incorrectly, you can get burns, so it is recommended to use more gentle methods in home care.

You should not clean your home if you have problem skin with inflammation, wounds, etc., as its condition can only worsen.

It is also worth remembering about possible allergic reactions and testing the chosen product before the procedure. Do not apply the product to the skin around the eyes, mouth and eyebrows.

Every person wants to achieve well-groomed and clean skin, because it is an indicator of the general condition of the body. Therefore, to achieve ideal skin, it is worth taking into account internal factors.

Feelings during the procedure

I will pay special attention to the sensations during the procedure. I visited a cosmetologist for about a year and I can say for sure that it is impossible to get used to these sensations.

During the first visit, when the cosmetologist began cleaning, I wanted to run away after only 10 minutes of the procedure. It was terribly painful, but I pulled myself together and constantly reminded myself of the result I wanted to achieve.

And although the procedure is quite painful, pain relief is a last resort, which, as a rule, is not resorted to.

Patient reviews about the procedure

Most patients who have experienced the effects of combined cleansing claim that:

1. According to the degree of effectiveness: Almost all blackheads disappear, the number of scars and pimples decreases, the overall tone of the face is evened out.
2. In terms of painful sensations: In general, there is no pain. During mechanical work, sometimes it becomes unpleasant.
3. According to the duration of the rehabilitation period: By the evening of the next day, swelling and redness subsides. Bruising is infrequent and disappears after a few days. The only thing is that it is difficult to give up cosmetics for 3 days, and also not go to the gym or sauna for several weeks.

Many patients are ready to resort to such effects again when it becomes necessary.

First steps to deliverance

At one point I decided that this could no longer continue. The reflection in the mirror scared me, and I began to look for cosmetology offices and select a procedure for combating imperfections.

On the Internet, I found a beauty salon that was located almost near my house and, without hesitation, made an appointment.

As a naive girl, I dreamed that after the first procedure my skin would become perfect. However, the cosmetologist I turned to brought me down to earth.

And at the first session, I learned that it would take at least a year to correct everything that foundation and incorrectly chosen care had done to me. But the result will definitely please me.
