The condition of the skin worries everyone, so it is important to choose the appropriate care. Chemical peeling increases the tone of the skin, smoothes the relief, gets rid of wrinkles and eruptions. It is carried out in almost every cosmetology office, but it is quite realistic to repeat the procedure at home.
To do this it is necessary to purchase special cosmetics, also learn the procedure and follow the basic rules. How and why to do it at home? What do the reviews say? And what are the benefits of the procedure? Let's find out about this together.
Chemical peeling is the removal of the upper layer of the epidermis and the natural exfoliation of dead cells with special chemical compositions. After the procedure, the general condition of the skin improves, it becomes more toned, the number of eruptions decreases and the relief is smoothed. The procedure is usually performed on the face and neck, but also can be performed on the hands, arms and décolleté.
The procedure is best carried out in a cosmetology office, but you can also do it at home if you choose the right composition. Regardless of the agent used, the result is the following: the connection between the cells is reduced, so they are easier to remove and regeneration of the skin occurs.
The benefits of the procedure are huge, and the result is noticeable immediately:
But there can also be harm if the composition is not chosen correctly or technique is not followed. Unpleasant feelings during the procedure in the form of burning and tingling, you can get burns, allergic reactions (redness, swelling, rashes, inflammation of wounds) and prolonged healing. Quite unpleasant, we agree.
Contraindications include hypersensitivity of the skin, the presence of scars and injuries. It is necessary to consult with a cosmetologist who will assess the condition of the skin and give recommendations for care.
One session lasts from 25 to 60 minutes. During a deep or medium-deep peeling local anesthesia is applied, as the procedure is quite painful. A superficial peel can be done every three months and a deep peel is repeated no more than twice in a lifetime. Preparation for the procedure is not required but it is better not to sunbathe the day before the procedure.
After chemical peeling do not overdo it with makeup, and better yet avoid it for a couple of days. Use lightweight cosmetics and revitalizing creams, do not sunbathe the first week and if inflammation occurs, wipe the skin with antibacterial agents.
The main options for superficial peels that can be done even at home are: fruit, glycolic, lactic and chloride. For median and deep peels are used trichloroacetic, 30% salicylic and with phenolic compounds.
Remember that before any manipulation of the skin, you need to get a doctor's consultation and use only quality products in the process. Do not expect instant results, the first few days the skin will look damaged, but after healing it will shine with beauty and freshness.
