Vacuum facial cleansing: features and advantages of the procedure

There are many methods by which high-quality facial cleansing is carried out. They differ not only in the degree of impact, but also in effectiveness. One of the effective and most gentle procedures is vacuum facial cleansing.

A special device has minimal impact on the skin, which allows you to clean the epidermis carefully and not injure the sebaceous glands. Manipulation, like other cleansing cosmetological techniques, has its own characteristics, indications and contraindications, which it is advisable for the patient to know about before signing up for vacuum facial cleansing.

Why is the procedure performed?

The hardware method of cleansing the skin helps get rid of blackheads that clog pores. Blackheads look very unsightly on the surface of the skin and block the access of oxygen to the pores. Due to insufficient nutrition of the epithelium with oxygen and other beneficial substances, a deterioration in complexion is observed and acne often appears.

Vacuum cleansing of facial skin is good because the device is used to clean hard-to-reach problem areas, for example, the chin, nose, etc. Other methods of cleansing the epidermis are not able to treat the skin so well and get a 100% result.

Preparing for the Hydrafacial procedure

The procedure does not require special preparation, but there are still recommendations that must be followed before it is carried out. A week before the procedure, do not perform any cleansing, peeling, or injections.

At your appointment, tell the doctor about past illnesses, possible allergies, medications you were taking at the time of the procedure, as well as previously performed cosmetic procedures. After consultation, the doctor can perform a Hydrafacial session immediately, or set a date for you at a time convenient for you.

Features of cosmetological manipulation

Vacuum cleaning is carried out using various replaceable attachments that are produced for a special device. The cosmetologist selects the right attachment depending on the patient’s problem. To treat oily skin types, it is advisable to use a beak-shaped tip. To get rid of fine and deep wrinkles, use a flat nozzle. Round tips should be used to activate blood vessels and improve lymphatic drainage in the body.

After connecting the device, the desired nozzle is applied to the skin, as a result of which an area of ​​​​strong pressure is formed. The skin, along with blackheads, comedones, pimples and other formations, is sucked into the cavity of the nozzle. In this way, blackheads, dirt deposits, pus and remaining sebum are drawn out from the pores.

During facial cleansing, the stratum corneum begins to peel off, and this is considered normal. In order to get rid of the residual layer of the epidermis, peeling is done, then a mask is applied to the face, which helps to narrow the pores. The restorative mask will have a nourishing effect on the epithelium. After hardware therapy, there is no redness or swelling left, which is one of the advantages of cleaning.

Who is vacuum cleaning recommended for?

If the patient has an oily skin type, then mechanical cleansing cannot be done, as it can cause injury to the skin. Due to injuries to the epidermis, the sebaceous glands begin to work very intensively, as a result of which existing problems on the skin intensify (inflammation occurs, acne and pimples appear, pores become clogged).

The cosmetic procedure is indicated for: impaired turgor, lumpy skin, decreased tone and elasticity of the epidermis. If there are minor defects on the skin, acne, blackheads and large pores, vacuum facial cleansing is prescribed. Manipulation is carried out on the face only when there are no obvious inflammatory processes on the epidermis.

For severely contaminated facial skin, the technique is also used, but more sessions will be required to achieve the desired results. A cosmetologist spends much more time on heavily contaminated skin, and the doctor has to do some manipulations himself.

How does the procedure work?

Before cleaning with a vacuum device, it is very important to remove makeup and open the pores. Typically, a cosmetologist uses a standard set of products to cleanse the skin (gel, milk or foam, depending on skin type). Pores are opened using a vaporizer. If for some reason its use is impossible, then warming creams are used.

Also, before proceeding directly to the cleaning itself, the cosmetologist must remove excess sebum from enlarged pores. This process is called deencrustation. It is also carried out using a special device, only this device acts on the skin not with a vacuum, but with a small electric current.

About contraindications of the procedure

Facial cleansing using a vacuum is considered a relatively mild and painless procedure, so it is often combined with other cosmetic procedures. During hardware therapy, blood circulation increases and a strong drainage effect is exerted on the skin. If the patient has problems with blood vessels, then cleaning should not be performed.

Contraindications for vacuum facial cleansing:

• rosacea;
• advanced dermatosis;
• inflammation on the skin and in the body itself;
• rosacea;
• pimples with pus.

If the patient has at least some kind of inflammatory process and vacuum cleaning is carried out, this may lead to the fact that with increased blood circulation, inflammatory foci may spread to other parts of the body. Manipulation should not be performed on people with dry and excessively thin skin.

When the vessels are located very close to the epithelium, hardware therapy is undesirable. Only a highly qualified doctor can judge the appropriateness of the procedure after examining the patient and reviewing the medical history.

Manipulation in most salons follows the same pattern. First of all, the doctor cleanses the facial skin with cosmetics with an antiseptic effect. Foams, lotions and gels must contain alcohol. The essence of preparing the epidermis is to cleanse it of fat and impurities. Also, the use of cosmetics allows you to disinfect the skin.

The next stage of cleansing is steaming the face. Vaporization is needed in order to remove deep impurities that lurk in the pores. For the steaming procedure, the cosmetologist will use either masks and lotions with an immediate steaming effect, or treat the skin thermally (using steam).

If the patient has very dirty and narrowed pores, disinfection or microcurrent should be used. Under the influence of direct current, the pores open and residual fat is removed. This stage is carried out by specialists very rarely and only when absolutely necessary.

Only now the cosmetologist begins vacuum cleaning, which on average takes from 15 to 30 minutes. The technique is non-invasive and has a positive effect on the skin. The specialist runs the device with the attachment over the surface of the face. At this time, any dirt, fatty deposits and neoplasms are drawn into the nozzle and removed from the epithelium.

During the manipulation, the patient does not feel any discomfort or pain. During hardware therapy, the doctor must constantly treat the nozzle with antiseptic drugs to avoid infection on the facial skin.

The final stage of vacuum cleaning is surface peeling. A cosmetic procedure is needed to completely remove exfoliated areas of skin. After peeling, the doctor applies a nourishing and at the same time moisturizing mask to the skin; it has a beneficial effect on the pores and narrows them.

How effective is vacuum cleaning?

The technique helps to get rid of blackheads on the face and other formations. At the same time, dead skin particles are removed, making the skin smooth and pleasant to the touch again. After one manipulation, most patients experience a positive result.

Hardware therapy also has a rejuvenating effect, since during the procedure blood circulation improves, nutrients and oxygen enter the cells, metabolism improves and the number of wrinkles appears decreases (due to the supply of oxygen to the epithelial cells, collagen begins to be more actively produced).

Advantages and disadvantages

This method is usually considered an alternative to mechanical cleaning. However, it also has a number of advantages over chemical peels. Its main advantage is that it is a completely painless procedure that does not cause any discomfort. The patient feels how the cosmetologist runs a drainage tube with an attachment across the face - and that’s all.

Atraumatic facial cleansing - effective, safe and painless

In this case, the skin is not injured, which means it recovers very quickly. And since the stratum corneum itself is practically not removed, the skin does not change shade, which is important in the summer if you want to maintain a tan. An important advantage is that after such cleaning you do not need any special, particularly thorough care - your usual products are enough.

The main disadvantage of this procedure is that the effect does not last very long, because after some time the cleaned pores still become clogged. But since the procedure does not injure the skin, it can be performed often. Moreover, with each subsequent time the number of blackheads will decrease.

Is it possible to do it at home and how?

Vacuum rejuvenation can be performed independently at home. Portable devices are available for personal use.

A mandatory requirement is to steam the skin in a water bath. Medicinal herbs are added to the water: thyme, cornflower, chamomile, calendula, St. John's wort.

To close the pores after the procedure, wipe the face with ice or water with lemon.

Don't forget to disinfect the device. The nozzle is washed, doused with boiling water or treated with any disinfectant solution.
