Choosing the type of facial peeling based on age and skin type

When choosing the type of superficial (or other) facial peeling in cosmetology, it is customary to take into account two important factors: the age of the client and the specifics of the problem.

Depending on the degree of skin aging, the optimal type of cleansing is selected:

21–25 years old. At this age there are no significant changes yet. Only pigmentation may appear. Experts recommend gommage or scrubbing, enzyme cleansing, and peeling using fruit acids.
25–35 years old. This period is characterized by the appearance of facial wrinkles, keratosis, and age spots. Cosmetologists recommend cryopilling, laser or superficial chemical peeling.
35–50 years old. At this age, changes in the condition of the skin become clearly visible: dull complexion, pronounced pigmentation, capillary network. Laser cleaning and vacuum peeling are recommended.
More than 50 years. This period is characterized by the presence of many wrinkles and creases of varying depths. After 50 years, the skin needs deep chemical peeling and laser cleaning.

For mature facial skin after 40 years, cosmetologists recommend dermabrasion, mid-level professional laser or ultrasonic peeling.

For oily skin, diamond peeling, coral mechanical or dry cleansing is suitable.
For problem skin, salicylic or almond peels are performed.

Cosmetologists consider peelings to be an effective remedy that helps maintain skin health and renew it. Thanks to the procedure, skin tissue rejuvenation occurs quickly, skin tone increases, wrinkles are smoothed out.

If you perform peelings regularly, there will be no need for plastic surgery to restore and rejuvenate the skin.

The downside of these procedures is the risk of complications in the form of intense pigmentation, spider veins, and tissue scarring in the area of severely damaged or burned skin.

To avoid unforeseen consequences during cleansing or restoration, you need to contact trusted beauty salons. In addition, it is necessary to choose only high-quality drugs.

What types of chemical peels are there?

Superficial peeling

It is the most gentle type of procedure. It affects only a few layers of the epidermis. It can be used on young skin that has minor problems. The effect of the procedure is short-lived; from 4 to 10 sessions will be required.

This chemical peeling is also called fruit peeling - the active components are fruit acids.

Glycolic acid is considered the most effective because it has the greatest penetrating power. After exposure of the skin to such acid, wrinkles become almost invisible. Glycolic acid also accelerates the synthesis of intercellular substances - flabby and dry skin becomes more hydrated.

The following acids can also be used for superficial peeling:

retinoic – promotes rapid renewal of cells and blood vessels, accelerates metabolic processes, the skin is saturated with oxygen and nutrients;
fetin - stops the process of skin aging, quickly removes unnecessary cells;
Kojeva – is an antioxidant;
azelaic acid – removes foci of inflammation, destroys microbes, whitens the skin, promotes better collagen synthesis. Used to eliminate scars.

Medium peeling

Medium facial peeling is used to target deeper layers. The effect is noticeable after the first session. A repeat procedure may be required after 30 days. After such peeling, various types of peeling appear, which disappear within a week.

The best drugs for this procedure are those that have a gel structure. Only a specialist can select the correct acid concentration.

Trichloroacetic acid TCA is used on sensitive skin. Salicylic acid fights age spots and shallow wrinkles.

Deep peeling

With this chemical peeling, the epidermis is rejected and the basement membrane is affected. Therefore, this procedure is carried out in a hospital setting using anesthesia. Deep peeling can remove the deepest wrinkles and scars. The skin is exposed to phenol.

They only do it once. Full recovery will take approximately 5 months.

Chemical cleaning of leather is best done in late autumn or early winter. Because after the procedure the skin becomes very susceptible to ultraviolet rays.

All recommendations of a specialist should be followed. Do not peel off the crusts, use moisturizing and healing products. When leaving home, even in cloudy weather, you should apply sunscreen.

Mechanical facial peeling

This type of manual peeling is considered the easiest way to cleanse the face. The procedure involves mechanical removal of the top layer of the epidermis using abrasives. The preparations used contain hard granules to quickly eliminate dead cells. Such means include:

Scrub. Available in the form of a gel or cream with abrasive particles. The product is applied to the face, after which it is washed off along with dead cells. It is important to try not to injure the skin during the scrubbing process.
Gommage. Designed for cellular nutrition and regeneration. The product is a rolling cream with soft abrasive particles or fruit acids that dissolve during cleaning.
Brushing (brossage) to exfoliate the dead layer of the epidermis. To perform the procedure, you need a special hard brush with synthetic bristles. The face is covered with abrasive paste, then massaged with a brush.
Salt peeling. The procedure is performed using products containing table or sea salt, rich in macro- and microelements.
Coral polishing. The products used during the procedure contain coral chips and plant components.
Film masks for removing dead cells from the skin. The product is a special silicone film that is applied to the face and then removed along with the stratum corneum.

With the help of manual mechanical cleaning, impurities are removed from the surface layer, the skin becomes fresh, and shallow wrinkles are smoothed out.

Skin care after the procedure

We would like to draw your attention to the fact that before and after the superficial peeling procedure you will need to follow several instructions from the cosmetologist. Your doctor may advise:

Refrain from using decorative cosmetics;
Regularly apply special creams and ointments to the skin of the face for several days;
In the first 1-3 days, avoid visiting the sauna, swimming pool and gym.

Considering that superficial peeling eliminates the occurrence of an inflammatory reaction, no serious changes in lifestyle will follow. It must be remembered that the implementation of such procedures has a number of professional nuances. They can only be performed by doctors who have undergone special training.

What is the difference: home peeling and peeling at a cosmetologist

Peels that can be used at home do not penetrate deeply into the skin and give an unnoticeable result, but they certainly help maintain an even tone and healthy skin. Chemical peels performed by estheticians have a lower pH level than at-home peels, so they can penetrate much deeper into the skin and target skin problems such as hyperpigmentation and acne. Chemical peels can cause redness of the skin; a recovery period will last for several days, during which the “old” skin will gradually peel off and renewed skin will appear.

Chemical peeling performed by cosmetologists will be much more effective for your skin than peeling at home.
