Depigmenting peeling Cimel (Spain)

The main active component of CIMEL peeling is retinol. Retinol, without damaging the skin, normalizes keratinization processes, restores the extracellular structures of the dermis, and has a pronounced whitening effect. Histological studies have shown that the stimulating effect of retinol and its derivatives on the cellular structures of the skin persists for another 4 months after the last application of retinoids. Since the active component of the peel is retinol rather than retinoic acid, the drug is preferable for patients with sensitive skin. It should also be noted that the peeling contains kojic acid, which helps whiten the skin.

The main thing is that the production of melanin and the production of atypical cells decreases. The components provoke hyperpigmentation, aggravate photoaging, and lead to various diseases. The synthesis of collagen and epidermal lipids, components of the intercellular matrix of the dermis, is activated, which leads to compaction, strengthening, and rejuvenation of tissues.

Preparatory stage

You should begin preparing for the procedure with a consultation with a cosmetologist. The doctor will examine the skin, talk, and prescribe the necessary tests. If the decision is positive about the possibility of performing Cimel retinoic peeling, the cosmetologist will discuss the rules for preparing for the intervention.

An important point will be the mandatory refusal to tan. Avoid exposure to the sun, visiting a solarium, and use sunscreen when going outside. The duration of the insolation restriction depends on the condition of the skin: for weakly pigmented tissues, 2 weeks of preparation is enough, for those with a dark tone - at least a month.

2-4 weeks before the procedure, it is important to avoid the use of vitamin A, medications, cosmetics with a high percentage of retinol, and its derivatives. At the same time, they carefully monitor the health and condition of the integument. Various injuries and tissue microtraumas are excluded.

Cleanser Mousse foam is used to cleanse the skin. Prepeel Medium is used as a night cream (prepeel Light can be lighter). When going outside, it is recommended to use Mediscreen with a high protection factor.

Intervention is possible both in winter and summer, but during periods of increased solar activity it is more difficult for the patient to fulfill important requirements, the violation of which can lead to complications.

Stage I. Pre-peeling preparation

Rehabilitation period

The active rehabilitation period lasts 5–7 days. At this time the following is excluded:

• use of care products containing alcohol, fruit acids, scrubbing particles;
• carrying out interventions involving aggressive chemicals (dying hair, eyebrows, eyelashes);
• performing procedures with intense effects on tissue (massage, hardware, injections).

The main limitation is avoiding tanning. Insolation is excluded for a month. It is also recommended to avoid steaming, playing sports, drinking alcohol, and wearing complex makeup.

After cleansing the skin of the working composition, the appearance is similar to that characteristic of the face after a long stay in the sun: erythema, edema, slight swelling, tingling sensations, and tissue tightness appear. The skin gradually acquires a bright tan color.

On days 2–3, itching appears and the skin begins to peel. The surface tissues are peeled off in small pieces or removed in large layers. You cannot help the process: scratch, tear off pieces. Peeling of the integument can occur on any part of the body, regardless of the location of the active effect. This is considered normal and should not be alarming.

   Yellow peeling must be carried out with gloves, observing maximum sterility; a quick reaction from the skin is possible at the moment of contact with the drug;

2. Mandatory pre-peeling preparation, even when the patient does not see much use in it, it is necessary to explain, clarify the time and duration, and the sequence of actions;
3. If large-scale peeling is planned, it is better to do it gradually so that one session does not cover more than 10% of a person’s entire skin;
4. Immediately determine your skin type at the time of consultation, because people with types 4 or 5 (Fitzpatrick method) can seek safe peeling strictly in the fall and winter during treatment for hyperpigmentation.

Failure to use sun protection can lead to hyperpigmentation of the skin.

Are there any contraindications and side effects?

Chemical exfoliation, even the most gentle one, requires a preliminary assessment of the skin condition.

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• individual intolerance;
• violation of skin integrity;
• inflammatory and infectious diseases;
• acute stage of herpes;
• taking antibiotics or drugs containing retinol derivatives;
• problems related to the liver.

Peeling with retinol is usually not accompanied by side effects and can be used throughout the year.

However, one should take into account the possibility of a natural reaction of the facial skin to the drug.

• Bright erythema covers the entire area that has been exfoliated. The phenomenon persists for 2-4 days, gradually reducing the color intensity.
• Mild swelling occurs in people who have a tendency to edema.
• The active phase of peeling begins after 12-48 hours, depending on the initial state of the dermis.
• Clients with allergies are more likely to experience itching.

Compliance with the rules of post-peeling care reduces the consequences of the procedure and promotes a speedy recovery.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantage of Cimel retinoic peeling is the increased comfort of the procedure and the low likelihood of complications. Cosmetologists trust the brand and expect only positive results.

The disadvantage of Cimel retinoic peeling is the high cost of the products and the need to purchase a large set of products for additional care. Cosmetologists note that more effective results can be achieved with the help of other means that are no less comfortable to use.

What is retinoic yellow facial peeling?

Everyone knows that peeling is the process of removing dead skin cells using chemicals. In the beauty industry, it is customary to distinguish three methods of peeling : superficial, medium and deep.

.

Superficial peeling only removes particles of skin cells. The second method has a stronger effect, as a result of which the rejuvenation process occurs. Deep peeling

– this is already the most serious procedure, when we get rid of both dead cells and partly living ones.

Retinoic
yellow peeling
can be both superficial and medium. In the foreign market, it has long established itself as a high-quality and reliable remedy for solving most facial skin problems. This method has just begun to appear in domestic beauty salons, and many women have yet to appreciate its benefits. In the future, the number of people wishing to undergo the retinoic yellow peeling procedure will continue to grow.

Peeling is called yellow because after it such a shade remains on the top layer of the epidermis. But the skin becomes yellowish only for a short period of time. In most cases, only one procedure is enough to improve the condition of the face. The decision on the required number of sessions always remains with the doctor under whose supervision they are carried out. If necessary, the doctor can prescribe a full course of peeling. Then the patient will have to undergo from six to ten procedures with a break between each of at least ten days.

In cosmetology, retinoic yellow peeling comes in two types. The first of them uses retinoic acid of synthetic origin

. According to the method of penetration, it belongs to the middle, and at the same time has a gentle effect on the skin. After the procedure, she recovers in just a couple of days. Due to this, this type is popularly called the “weekend procedure.”

After completing the session, a woman may feel a slight tightness on her face. The problem is solved with the help of special moisturizers. Also, the skin will have a rich pink color for two days. It will begin to peel off, but after the rehabilitation period it will become smooth and tender.

The main clients who are recommended to pay attention to yellow peeling are people who are already twenty-five years old. Sometimes a similar procedure is prescribed to younger girls if it is necessary to remove marks or scars from acne.

Two weeks before the session, the preparatory stage begins. It consists of starting to use a product that contains retinoic acid of synthetic origin. It is the main component of the peeling. Thanks to two weeks of use, the skin gets used to it, and doctors become confident that the substance does not cause any adverse reactions.

The procedure begins by treating the skin with a solution of glycolic acid, followed by the application of retinoic acid. The components act on the surface of the skin for several minutes and then penetrate deep into it. At the end of the session, the composition is neutralized.

The second type of yellow peeling is using natural retinol.

It can be performed more often than the first option (synthetic acid-based peeling is recommended to be done once every six months). This type of peeling has a milder effect, so it can be used every month.

The composition includes natural retinol, which is obtained from the tropical urukum bush growing in the Amazon. This substance makes it possible to carry out only superficial peeling, the main component of which is kojic acid.

• Everyone is used to the fact that acid peels are left on the skin for only five minutes. And this look needs to be kept for ten whole hours;
• Due to the duration of the procedure, cosmetologists do not recommend doing yellow peeling more often than once every six months;
• After removing all the influencing substances from the face, the skin turns red, then begins to peel, and then peels off greatly. This is normal and goes away very quickly.

Patient reviews

For patients, choosing the yellow exfoliation option is a difficult decision. The anticipation of discomfort and a difficult recovery period prevents many from making a positive decision. Cimel is considered a comfortable option, but patients are often deterred by the high cost of the procedure.

The patient liked the results of the retinoic peel, but complications arose.

The recovery period, when the first results are noticeable?

24 hours after the procedure, the patient feels tightness of the skin, and after three days, as a rule, peeling begins. It takes at least seven days for the skin to recover and renew itself. The effect increases within 30 days and lasts up to six months. The skin becomes elastic, smooth, and wrinkle-free.

In the periods between sessions, cosmetologists will recommend using creams with a moisturizing effect and enzyme masks. If procedures are carried out in spring and summer, it is necessary to protect the skin from UV rays in order to prevent its pigmentation.

After yellow peeling, the skin of the treated area will be very flaky and slightly itchy. Its shade will be different in areas where the old skin has already come off and in areas where it has not yet come off. It is not recommended to speed up the process, but the use of products recommended by a cosmetologist is mandatory.

Young skin cells that appear after the exfoliation process need protection from the negative effects of UV rays. This is why it is recommended to use sunscreen during this recovery period.

Immediately after completion of the course, it is prohibited to use cosmetic procedures aimed at abrasive treatment of the skin. Washing should be carried out exclusively with the use of special products for sensitive skin.
