Chemical peeling with acids

Peeling is a procedure of modern cosmetology, which is carried out to improve the structure of the skin and exfoliate the surface cells. It can be performed not only mechanically, but also with the help of acids. This kind of peeling is called chemical.

Depending on the skin problems and the desired result, the depth of action on the layers of the epidermis can be different, because peeling with acids of different concentrations is done.

Deciding to do a similar procedure, a woman should fully explore the question of how to conduct it, as many women do not even suspect what awaits them in reality. The fact that using it you can get rid of wrinkles - it's true, but to suffer pain, go to work with a red face and hide from the sun for several days in a row not everyone can.

The problems solved by acid peeling

Thus, it is possible to improve the condition of the aging skin, get rid of wrinkles, age spots and acne. Pores after the procedure become narrower, the complexion improves, scars become less noticeable. All this occurs as a result of removal of several layers of the epidermis from the skin surface and improvement of metabolic processes in the deep layers.

Peeling can be done both on a limited area, for example, cheeks (pigment spots or wrinkles), and on a vast surface, including the decollete area.

Depending on the concentration and time of exposure to acids, the peeling is divided into superficial, middle and deep.

Surface peeling with acids is the most gentle method of exposure, it does not affect the deep layers of the skin and does not require a long recovery. For its carrying out use of weak fruit acids, for example, lactic, apple, lemon, glycolic. The use of pain medication is not required, and after the procedure there will be only slight redness.

Median peeling with acids is more traumatic, as the concentration of agents and the depth of skin damage increase. But the result is more noticeable, this way you can remove small wrinkles, scars and pigmentation. Cosmetologists use trichloroacetic, retinoic, salicylic and glycolic acid. This level of exfoliation is already accompanied by anesthesia, because when the acid is exposed to the skin, burning and pain are felt. The recovery period lasts several days, when reddening gives way to crust formation and scaling.

Deep acid peeling is already a radical procedure, it can be carried out only under strong anesthesia and under antiseptic operating conditions. In beauty salons it should not be done.

Stage of the procedure

First of all, the skin is prepared for application. It includes cleaning, degreasing and anesthesia (if necessary).

Then follows the stage of applying the acid for a certain time.

The final step is a mask that soothes the skin, and a cold compress.

We must not forget that after a peeling a few days it is necessary to avoid the sun, solarium and depilation.

Today there is cosmetics for peeling at home. As a rule, such funds are used only superficially. Median peeling should be done only by a cosmetologist, and at first the doctor should find out if you have any contraindications to the procedure, including pregnancy, exacerbation of herpes or chronic diseases, urticaria, acne, autoimmune and oncological diseases, open wounds or sensitive ( Thin) leather.

The cosmetologist must warn that the acid peeling of the face can be complicated (in rare cases) by scarring, persistent redness or infection if all the rules of procedure are not observed.
