Types of tools for squeezing pimples
The pimple-popping tools used by cosmetologists can be purchased for home use. The main thing is not to forget about the rules for their use, always disinfect the devices before use, and be aware of the indications and contraindications.
Pimple Popping Tools
Typically, a device for squeezing pimples has the shape of a stick with different tips:
- spoon;
- strainer;
- needle;
- brush.
Such devices are also called “acne squeezers.” They are easy to use and help achieve the desired result in a short period of time. Facial cleansing sticks are made of medical alloy, have removable attachments and are accessible to everyone. The choice of element depends on the needs of the person.
Design Features
Structurally, the Vidal loop is simply simple. The tool is a compact metal loop on a rod with a protruding handle-holder. Sometimes the device is made to look like a flat spoon with a hole inside. The Vidal loop is made of metal. It is best to choose options made from medical steel. The special alloy guarantees safe use of the tool.
Pimple squeezing stick in the form of a loop
A stick for squeezing out pimples in the form of a loop.
The main purpose of the loop is to get rid of wen, blackheads and blackheads. The tool perfectly combats various pore contaminants, including deep-seated comedones. The loop does not injure the skin and does not leave scars. Using this device, you can quickly and painlessly remove blackheads and squeeze out protruding pimples.
The loop on the stick fits well to the skin and with light pressure and a smooth movement, the blackheads come out and the pores are cleansed of impurities. One disadvantage of such a tool is redness and slight swelling in the area of pressure.
Pimple popping sticks with a loop tip are typically used on the chin, nasal cavity, and frontal lobe, areas that are most prone to breakouts and dirt.
Before using the loop, you should familiarize yourself with the instructions for using the tool:
- Before any cleaning of the skin, the instrument should be treated with a disinfectant;
- For the procedure to be effective, before using the loop, you should expand the pores (hold your face over steam or take a warm bath, and also wash your face with soap);
- the device should be placed so that the blackhead or pimple is in the center of the loop;
- movements should be smooth and not sharp, so as not to cause pain and minimize possible skin irritation.
If using a tool does not bring the desired result (this happens with pimples that have creamy contents), then you should use another tool.
Ways the body lets you know its problems
One pimple on the cheek, a lot on the shoulders, shoulder blades or lower back, black spots of acne or white spots on the top and painful inflammations - all this can be triggered by both external factors and internal processes of a particular organ system. Knowing why a pimple appears on your chin, a red rash on your back, or acne along your spine can help you choose a cosmetic product or method that will help clear your skin, as well as medications or preventative treatments to treat the underlying condition and prevent recurrence.
In turn, a bunch of acne on the back, which appeared suddenly as a signal of a disorder in the body, is also indirectly provoked by external influences - in the case of the digestive or endocrine system (pancreas, thyroid glands), this may be the result of poor nutrition, too sweet, fatty foods, drinking drinks with a large amount of synthetic substances.
Cleansing your face with a Uno spoon
“Uno” spoon for squeezing out pimples
The “Uno” spoon is a strainer at one end and a spoon with a single hole at the other. This tool can deal with single pimples, as well as multiple blackheads. The spoon is convenient to use at home.
Correct use of the Uno spoon:
- the skin of the face must be cleansed and steamed;
- the spoon is positioned so that the black dot is in the middle;
- gently press on the instrument and move it slightly (thanks to this movement, the contamination remains on the spoon);
- As the instrument becomes dirty, it must be cleaned.
The Uno spoon has several advantages:
- low cost of the device compared to other tools;
- hygiene;
- eliminates pain, scarring and age spots;
- deeply cleanses the skin.
Precautionary measures
Mechanical cleaning is contraindicated in cases of serious impairment of tissue regenerative abilities. The procedure is also not performed if:
- some dermatological problems (exacerbation of dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema);
- irritations on the surface (burn, allergy);
- excessive dryness of tissues, severe peeling of the integument;
- presence of rosacea;
- infectious diseases of the integument.
It is not recommended to carry out cleaning if you are feeling unwell. The condition will slow healing and may contribute to the development of complications. Among which are:
- slight redness of the surface;
- damage to tissues and capillaries;
- addition of infection.
Important! The likelihood of side effects increases if the rules for working with the loop and hygiene requirements are violated. Movements must be precise and careful.
Using a Vidal needle
Vidal needle for removing acne
Many people are a little alarmed by this tool, but it is quite effective for single pustules or pimples that are located deep under the skin. The use of a Widal needle is justified in case of large formations that need to be removed mechanically.
Before using the needle, the skin is also steamed so that there is a rush of blood. Having previously pierced the pimple, the instrument painlessly removes unpleasant manifestations of skin inflammation using a spoon. However, those with sensitive facial skin should be careful with the Vidal needle, as there have been cases of skin bruising and bruising.
Individualization of selection of methods, methods, means
After the specialist examines the back or shoulder blades, receives research data on pimples or acne and establishes the causes, he will develop a plan according to which treatment will be carried out - the first effect can be expected quite quickly, but in order to completely get rid of the problem, the man or woman will have to be patient. The plan includes the selection of treatment methods directly in the EDIT clinic and gels, ointments, masks to be used at home at a certain time, in specified quantities with the required frequency - medicinal and decorative cosmetics that not only help remove pimples, but also strengthen, soften, nourish skin.
It is important to understand that we select each medicine and remedy for ridding the skin of the back or shoulders of pimples or acne not only in accordance with the problem (inflammation, suppuration or red subcutaneous nodes) and its origin, but also depending on the type of skin to cure it, and not just neutralize negative manifestations.
How to use the brush
Brushes for the prevention of acne
This device is used to prevent the appearance of acne, blackheads, and clogged pores. The brush cleanses pores and removes dead skin particles from the epidermis. It is advisable to use this tool for those who have dry skin prone to flaking. Thanks to daily use of the brush, pimples and blackheads do not form on the facial skin for a long time, the skin takes on a healthy and radiant appearance.
Before use, apply a cleanser to the brush and use it to cleanse your facial skin using massage movements.
Preparation for the procedure
It is important to keep the Vidal loop clean. Before and after use, the instrument must be disinfected. The device can be treated with standard alcohol.
It is recommended to wipe the skin with an antiseptic before using the loop. For oily skin, you can use alcohol and chemical-based lotions. For dry, sensitive skin, it is better to use a chlorhexidine solution as an antiseptic.
Before the cleaning procedure using a cosmetic loop, the surface to be treated is thoroughly cleaned of cosmetics and other contaminants. It is recommended to use mild detergents (without scrubbing particles).
After cleansing, it is advisable to steam the skin. It is acceptable to simply take a hot bath or shower without using additional products. The best option: a steam bath with a decoction of medicinal herbs. Suitable raw materials (chamomile flowers, calendula, sage leaves, coltsfoot, nettle, celandine) are poured with boiling water and left for 3-5 minutes. They bow their heads over the dishes with liquid and cover them with a towel. After 10 minutes, stop steaming and remove moisture from the skin with a clean napkin.
It is recommended to additionally wipe the surface with chlorhexidine. If you are prone to rosacea, steaming is not performed (you can limit yourself to taking a warm shower).
Important nuances
Carrying out cleansing procedures at home has certain features:
- sticks are recommended for those with oily or combination skin;
- the procedure is carried out once a week so that the inflamed skin has time to recover;
- Those with dry complexions should use sticks to squeeze out pimples with caution;
- using the instrument for herpes and excessive inflammatory processes on the skin can cause further spread of infection;
- the procedure for cleansing the skin using an instrument is contraindicated for diseases of the vascular system;
- the presence of wounds and bruises on the skin of the face is an absolute contraindication to cleaning with instruments.
Cosmetologists confirm the effectiveness of the cleansing procedure using instruments, but do not recommend their frequent use at home, as there is a risk of infection. It is much easier to ensure the necessary hygiene in the salon, and professional use of the tool will bring more benefits to the skin.
As you can see, squeezing pimples and clearing out pores with a special stick has a lot of benefits. You minimize trauma to the skin, as well as pain from removing acne in the “traditional way.”
Age transformations and lifestyle
When the endocrine system already intersects with the reproductive system, we get pimples on the back and face: they go away with age and signal a greater synthesis of sex hormones, but if a purulent rash appears on the spine, neck of adults and does not disappear for a long time, bringing discomfort - then this already a reason to contact an endocrinologist or gynecologist.
If you have more than once noticed the appearance of acne on your face and back due to stress, the most effective means for self-treatment in this case is the ability to resist stress factors. A life in which nothing will bother you seems like a utopia, but try to learn not to hold tension for too long and not turn stress into long-term stress, get good sleep, and not sacrifice health and beauty. Beauty requires care, attention and self-love, and sacrifices are not needed at all. What definitely does not depend on us is the genetic condition of the skin condition or lipid metabolism. But careful attention to your diet and metabolism, as well as the selection of the right cosmetics for care, can partially block the impact of congenital factors.
