Peeling with calcium chloride, or “Hollywood peeling” - review of the procedure


A complex drug based on calcium salt helps restore metabolism and prevent the development of many pathologies. Affordable and effective, it restores the normal level of one of the main macroelements in the body, relieving a variety of painful symptoms.

What is calcium chloride

Calcium chloride (CaCl2) is the calcium salt of perchloric acid. Used as a food additive, registered under number E509. It is considered an absolutely harmless substance. Used in pharmacology to stop bleeding, reduce allergic reactions, and eliminate inflammation.

How the drug is administered intravenously to treat:

  • dysfunction of the parathyroid glands;
  • some pathologies of the skin;
  • hemorrhagic vasculitis;
  • complications in the form of hypersensitivity;
  • toxic liver damage.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

In medicine, a solution of calcium chloride is simply called “chloride” or hypertonic. Popularly known as a “hot injection.” When introduced into a muscle, calcium ions in such a concentration cause necrosis - an instant burn with further rotting. This indicates the strong effect of the drug. When used externally, such dire consequences do not occur, since calcium ions do not penetrate the skin.

Typically, the main components of peeling are calcium chloride and natural soap. In the process of their interaction, a film of calcium salts appears, which does not dissolve in water and by-products.

The procedure gained the greatest popularity during the Soviet era. Back then it was done in almost all beauty salons, and girls paid a decent amount for one session. Nowadays you can even do peeling yourself at home.

Indications for use

It is recommended to use a 10% solution of the drug:

  • with calcium deficiency caused by malnutrition, systemic diseases, endocrine disorders, intestinal disorders;
  • when there is a need for increased doses of calcium: age-related changes, periods of active growth, postpartum complications, general physical exhaustion;
  • for bleeding of various origins;
  • with nutritional edema;
  • for hepatitis;
  • with rickets, osteomalacia;
  • for tuberculosis;
  • for kidney inflammation;
  • for allergic reactions;
  • in case of intoxication with fluorine, magnesium, oxalic acid preparations.

During childbirth, calcium chloride is necessary to prevent eclampsia and to stimulate contractile activity of the uterus.

Peeling principle

The basis of such purification is an elementary chemical reaction. As a result of mechanical action on the skin, the resulting film folds into pellets and takes along with it the keratinized layer of the epithelium.

The alkaline environment resulting from the application of soap suds removes excess secretion secreted by the sebaceous glands. Thus, greasy shine is eliminated and pore clogging is reduced.

The procedure does not depend on the time of year, that is, it is permissible to perform it both in winter and summer.

Indications for use

  • Excessive functional activity of the sebaceous glands.
  • Pore ​​expansion.
  • Predisposition to the development of the inflammatory process.
  • Acne.
  • Uneven surface of the face.
  • Hyperpigmentation.
  • Hyperkeratosis.
  • Signs of age-related skin changes in the form of facial wrinkles, impaired elasticity and tone of the epidermis.

This cleansing method is more suitable for women with oily skin.

If you have dry, sensitive skin, it is better to contact a cosmetologist and choose a different technique.

Efficiency

Peeling with calcium chloride has many beneficial properties, thanks to which patients, together with a doctor or independently, achieve the following results:

  • destruction of pathogenic microflora;
  • elimination of some defects (after scars, severe rashes);
  • removal of dead tissue;
  • reduction in the size and severity of age spots;
  • reducing the depth of facial wrinkles;
  • narrowing of pores;
  • restoration of skin tone and elasticity.

The effect is not visible immediately; you need to perform at least 3-4 procedures to achieve results.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):

The effect of calcium chloride on the skin is similar to that used in purulent surgery, when a bandage for a purulent wound is soaked in a hypertonic solution. The solution instantly draws out the liquid, causing the wound to dry out. The same thing happens with the skin: excess secretion of the fatty glands is drawn out, intercellular connections of the surface layer of the epithelium are reduced.

User reviews

  • Anastasia, 25 years old: “I had a facial peeling procedure with calcium chloride in the salon before the wedding. My skin is dry, and my face literally boiled during cleansing. But the next morning all inflammation disappeared, my face became smooth. I am pleased".
  • Glafira, 45 years old: “I cleaned with calcium carbonate with my friends. The result is different for everyone. One has oily skin and has no reaction. Everything rolled up. As described, but there was no special effect. Maybe I need to do it again. Mine is dry, but I decided to make a roll. She turned red like a lobster and walked like that for three days. Everything itched and itched terribly. Everything went well for our third lady. The face is fresher. The pustules are gone. There is only one conclusion - this type of peeling is not suitable for everyone.”
  • Lyudmila, 30 years old: “I made a roll for myself and my mother (60 years old). Everything was covered in pellets, as expected. The face became smooth. The redness was mild and went away within a few hours. I have combination skin and the pores in the T-zone shrink well. Mom has normal skin and the effect is also good.”

Calcium chloride was known to our grandmothers for facial peeling, and today this method of cleansing has received a rebirth. The product is affordable and versatile. If you follow precautions and the recommendations of cosmetologists, you can get excellent results - clean, fresh, renewed facial skin.
