Features of mechanical face peeling
In modern cosmetology, more and more new methods of skin cleansing appear every day, but mechanical peeling continues to be one of the most popular and demanded on the market. A distinctive feature of such a procedure is that it can be carried out at home using scrubs and other improvised means. If you believe the reviews, then mechanical cleaning is the most affordable and effective cosmetic procedure.
Purpose of the procedure
Human skin consists of dermis and epidermis, which takes on the influence of external factors. The covers are regularly renewed and the epidermis replacement takes about 60 days. On average, it is covered with 20 layers of old cells, which also take part in the process of protecting the skin from external influences. With age or under the influence of hormonal processes, the stratum corneum thicken, so you have to resort to a mechanical peeling procedure, which allows you to put your skin in order.
Carrying out this cosmetic procedure makes it possible to eliminate acne, clogged pores, and so on. Peeling products can be purchased ready-made or made on their own. The latter option is cheaper, but it cannot boast of such great efficiency. If you want to get the maximum effect from the procedure, it is best to seek help from an experienced cosmetologist, who can carefully study all the features of the body and choose the optimal means for peeling.
Main advantages
It should be noted that mechanical peeling to some extent resembles conventional sanding, when the master processes the surface until the ideal smoothness is obtained.
The main feature of peeling is that microscopic particles are sprayed during the procedure. Their main task is to smooth the surface of the skin and remove hardened cells.
Considering the fact that mechanical peeling is a type of superficial effect on the skin, the amount of the drug used should be selected very carefully.
Sometimes this procedure involves removing only hardened scales, while in other cases it is necessary to smooth the skin surface.
The main advantage of carrying out the procedure in a beauty salon is its painlessness, as well as the absence of the risk of infection.
Ingredient selection rules
If mechanical peeling is carried out at home, then close attention should be paid to the choice of products for its implementation.
Several substances can be distinguished among the most popular and effective ones.
- Products with plastic particles that boast an affordable cost. It should be noted that such products are prohibited from use in some countries. The fact is that after being washed away, they enter water bodies and harm the environment, including marine life. If you still want to use such products, then you need to apply a little on a moistened face and rinse.
- Blends that include jojoba oil granules. Their main advantage is that they have a beneficial effect on the epidermis. Such scrubs can boast of naturalness and allow you to get rid of skin imperfections and remove impurities in a short period of time, thereby ensuring the penetration of nutrients.
- Sea salt and sugar are the main ingredients in homemade scrubs. In addition, they are actively used by manufacturers in the process of making natural cosmetics. After being applied to the skin, the grains begin to melt, therefore they do not harm the skin. The most important thing when using such substances is to wash them off correctly and efficiently, since prolonged exposure can cause severe irritation.
- Peeling gels. Initially, such funds were actively used by Asian women, and later European beauties also realized their effectiveness. The product contains cellulose, which helps to remove dead layers of the epidermis. Proper use will allow you to quickly cleanse the skin, even out the complexion and get rid of any rashes.
It should be noted that today there is no universal scrub that could satisfy any lady. In the process of choosing the best option, one should take into account the individual characteristics of the body and skin. Only in this case it will be possible to find a mechanical peeling scrub that meets all your needs.
Views
If mechanical peeling is carried out in a professional salon, then it can be of several types.
Among the most popular in the cosmetology market, there are three main types.
- Surface type, which is also called brosazhem. A distinctive feature of the procedure is that in the process of its implementation the dermatologist treats the client's face using a unique nozzle. The presence of special bristles also improves blood circulation.
- The middle option is ideal for removing wrinkles or acne scars. The procedure is carried out using microcrystals of salt or soda. The course includes 5 to 10 sessions, depending on the condition of the skin.
- Deep type requiring long-term recovery.Special laser devices are used that convert light energy into thermal energy, thereby destroying the surface layer of cells. On the modern market, you can find advanced devices that allow you to influence the dermis without damaging the epidermis itself.
Deep peeling is considered the most effective, but at the same time, the most unpleasant procedure. In most cases, it is performed under local or general anesthesia. The main advantage of deep mechanical cleaning is that serious aesthetic problems can be eliminated permanently.
Before carrying out the procedure, it is imperative to undergo a complete diagnosis of the body.
This type of mechanical cleaning of the face, such as diamond grinding, is in great demand today. Depending on the strength of the impact, it can be categorized as superficial or intermediate impact. When using the procedure, after a few sessions, you can get a rejuvenating effect.
The device is equipped with a special brush, due to which it is possible to cleanse the keratinized epidermis, accelerate blood circulation and restore the skin.
The number of procedures, their duration and frequency depend on the ability of the dermis to regenerate, as well as the general clinical history. Usually about 8 sessions are enough for diamond grinding to show the desired result. In most cases, even the signs of skin aging can be eliminated during this time.
Contraindications
Despite the fact that mechanical peeling of the face is considered a cosmetological procedure, its conduct may include a number of contraindications, among which the following should be noted:
- the presence of cancer;
- neurological diseases;
- allergy to the drugs used;
- problems with the cardiovascular system;
- inflammatory processes that are accompanied by high fever.
With the right approach, mechanical peeling is considered one of the best methods of fighting aging and eliminating aesthetic defects.
Advice
Cleansing the skin of dead cells does not always have a positive effect. If the procedure is carried out incorrectly, then the problems can worsen. The main problem is that people use scrubs too often and rub them in extremely intensely, and this negatively affects the skin.
During this procedure, you should pay attention to several important points.
- Scrubs should be chosen taking into account the individual characteristics of the organism. Be sure to read the instructions to understand if the properties of these components are suitable for your face.
- The peculiarity of mechanical peeling is that there can be no question of uniformity of actions. Some parts of the face will have to pay more attention: the area of the nose, forehead or chin. For men, you can focus on the forehead and nose area as other parts of the face are treated during shaving.
- After peeling, it is imperative to use special moisturizers. The only exceptions are scrubs that contain olive oil. If rashes often appear on the skin, then it is best to choose products with a light texture. When preparing a scrub on your own, you should not save on a high-quality cream, since the result depends on it.
- Considering the fact that exfoliation has a direct effect on the epidermis, it is imperative to use creams to protect the face from UV exposure. Apply SPF creams regularly to prevent premature wrinkles.
- As with any beauty product, finding the optimal scrub takes time. You will have to experiment in order to find the right makeup. In addition, it should be understood that a particular tool may not consistently produce the same result.Means that help in the summer season will not help in the winter and vice versa. It also happens that the needs of the skin change, and as a result, the product, which has been saving the skin for a long time, ceases to cope with its task.
Thus, the essence of mechanical peeling is to exert a physical effect on the skin, thereby removing dead cells. The procedure is carried out in the salon or at home using both ready-made mixtures and those prepared with your own hands. If you competently approach this process, follow all the rules and requirements, then the result will not be long in coming.
