Retinoic Brazilian peeling. Combined peelings. How many procedures will be required

Combined peelings

Progressive cosmetologists are increasingly mixing peelings, changing acid concentrations and are not afraid to carry out this procedure even in summer. How is this possible? What's new in this area?

Alexander Vladimirovich Panevin, head of the chemical peeling department at the capital’s Martin’ex Beautiful Business Laboratory, tells the story.

Several years ago, doctors abandoned phenol peeling: it was considered too toxic. Today they are talking about him again - why?

Today, phenols are indeed receiving special attention. This peeling gives a very pronounced rejuvenating effect. But at the same time, previously it was quite comparable in tolerability to surgical operations. After using phenol, unpleasant complications often occurred. It was abandoned, but experts did not give up attempts to create safer formulas based on this substance.

Now interesting phenol-based drugs have appeared on the market. For example, MC Peel from the Medic Control Peel line is used for medium peeling. It does not require operating room or general anesthesia. At the same time, the result is still noticeable, and complications are minimized. Of course, such peeling should still be carried out by experienced specialists in a serious cosmetic clinic.

Can the new phenol peels be used on sensitive areas?

If we talk about phenolic or others medium peels, then it is still not recommended to do them on the neck and décolleté area. As for the face, it is important to know the nuances. The phenol preparation should be applied slowly, in zones: first on the forehead, then on the cheeks and chin. In this case, you need to take a break of 5-10 minutes between processing individual areas. Thus, the procedure will be quite lengthy, but safer.

It is worth noting that today phenolic drugs can be used either independently or in combination. This approach significantly expands the possibilities of their application. This also makes it possible to reduce the aggressive effect on the skin during the procedure.

Why use complex phenol peeling at all if there are more familiar preparations? Say, trichloroacetic acid?

Peeling with trichloroacetic acid is a rather painful procedure. This can make it difficult to treat particularly sensitive areas. And this sometimes significantly reduces the effectiveness of the procedure.

As for phenol, during application of the drug a slight burning sensation occurs, which gradually decreases, and in general the procedure is comfortable. This allows you to spend time on delicate areas where signs of aging are most visible.

Do not forget that trichloroacetic acid is a very active drug. And in high concentrations, from 25% and above, such peeling carries a high risk of hyperpigmentation. While the average phenolic practically eliminates such consequences.

But I heard that doctors are now increasingly using trichloroacetic acid in reduced concentrations, up to 10-20%.

That's true. Of course, a one-time use of low-concentration peels will not provide a quick lifting effect. But the risk of complications will be significantly reduced. And if the procedure is repeated, the final result will be comparable to a full peeling even with a 30% solution of trichloroacetic acid.

Such a gentle procedure - for example, TCA peeling - is carried out in courses: once a week, 4 sessions in a row. Then, after a one or two month break, another 3-4 procedures are performed. This program allows you to solve many cosmetic problems: remove wrinkles, improve complexion, eliminate acne.

However, you need to know that almost any peeling always causes quite severe peeling which lasts up to a week. As for phenol, it all depends on the duration of the procedure and the number of layers applied.

Pre-peeling preparation is very important in this regard. It reduces flaking and reduces the risk of pigmentation. Preparatory sessions are carried out within 7-14 days before peeling. Their essence is that they apply to the skin special means containing glycolic, retinoic or lactic acid. This prepares the skin for more serious effects.

In general, it is advisable to prepare before any chemical peeling. And before procedures with trichloroacetic acid and retinoids, it is simply mandatory.

Specialists today often begin to combine superficial peels with each other. Why is this being done?

In short - to get a decent result and cause less harm to the skin. Specific schemes depend on the experience of the specialist. In the USA, a one-step combination of different peelings has long been practiced. That is, different compositions are used on different areas of the face. For example, for nasolabial wrinkles - phenol, for eyelids - trichloroacetic acid, for other areas - glycolic acid.

However, there are some subtleties here. So, you should not combine glycolic and retinoic peels in one procedure. The latter can enhance the effect of the former, and this is undesirable. And to combat acne, the combination of glycolic and salicylic acids is most effective.

There is another combination option: not in one procedure, but within the course. For example, for the same acne disease, 3-5 salicylic peeling procedures are first performed. This helps eliminate inflammation. Then you can do 2-3 sessions of pyruvate peeling, which acts a little deeper and removes congestion.

We always talk about superficial, maximum - medium peels. It turns out that deep versions of this procedure are becoming a thing of the past?

Yes, we can already state: today deep peelings are practically not used. This is happening due to the advent of more effective and safe middle and superficial drugs.

For example, superficial glycolic peeling is now very popular. It is effective in correcting the very first superficial wrinkles. However, if you need to tighten your facial contours and increase skin elasticity, it is better to use retinoic peels. They are also good for combating age spots. If you take a full course, you can not only get rid of stains, but also reduce the likelihood of their appearance in the future.

These procedures are well tolerated, cause virtually no inflammation and significantly improve the skin structure. And, what’s important, they can be safely done in the summer.

By the way, what peelings can definitely be used in the summer?

Phenol and salicylic peels should not be carried out during the warm season. But superficial ones, such as glycolic, almond and retinoic, can be carried out in the summer. There are special formulations that not only provide a peeling effect, but also prevent pigmentation. Therefore, such peelings can be used specifically in the sunny season.

However, no matter how gentle the procedure, you still need to take precautions after it. Be sure to use moisturizing and restorative creams. Afterwards, you need to apply sunscreen to your skin. Ideally, they should contain physical filters such as zinc and titanium. These components provide the most reliable UV protection.

It is also necessary to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. You need to understand that these drugs provide temporary skin protection. Therefore, you can sunbathe only a month after any chemical peeling. And such procedures are not done immediately after tanning: you need to wait until the skin lightens a little.

Outlandish peeling

It is known that peelings came to us from hot countries - Israel, Spain and Brazil. Beauties from many countries still keep their recipes for exfoliating their skin.

Parisians advise applying almond oil to the skin first, and then lemon juice. After 10 minutes, the mixture should be “rolled” off the face with light circular movements.

According to tradition in India, before the wedding, the bride must be exfoliated with vegetable oils, pea flour and turmeric. In addition, Indian women often use mango juice as an exfoliant, which has an “iron effect” and smoothes out fine wrinkles.

Bulgaria

Bulgarian beauties regularly use natural peeling cream with carrots. To prepare it, you need to mix one tablespoon of grated carrots, olive oil and semolina. Then apply the mixture to a cleansed face and after 20 minutes, gently “roll” it with your fingertips.

Local beauties traditionally “clean” their faces with Dead Sea mud. With its help, the pores open and all excess skin particles are easily removed.

In Thailand, papaya is used as a base for peeling. This fruit cleanses and refreshes well. It is suitable even for sensitive skin as it is gentle and non-irritating.

Brazil

The Brazilian peeling recipe is simple and accessible to every local girl. After swimming in the sea, beauties “polish” their bodies with sea sand, mixing it with a small amount of coconut oil. As a result, it is not easy for them smooth skin, but also a great tan.

Preparing for the session

Before skin rejuvenation, certain preparation for retinoic peeling is required. First of all, the specialist determines the type and condition of the skin, the tendency to allergies, as well as the presence of various ailments that may interfere with peeling. Immediately after this, the client is prescribed certain creams, which must be used for several weeks in a row. Most often, these products are based on glycolic acid. Thanks to them, the skin softens, which allows retinoids to easily penetrate to a greater depth. In the absence of proper preparation, the effect of the procedure may be several times less.

Retinol peeling requires avoiding tanning salons, using exfoliants, and long-term sun exposure. During the week before the procedure itself, you should remove yourself from all this so as not to damage the skin.

Skin care after peeling

The rehabilitation period does not last that long, but during this time it is necessary to observe proper care after retinoic peeling. As you know, during recovery you feel severe dryness and tightness of the skin. After some time, a crust appears on the surface of the face, which under no circumstances should be removed. After a few hours it will go away on its own; if it is disturbed, complications may arise. Many reviews of retinoic peeling (photos before and after are below) say that when the crust is peeled off, scars, pimples, and age spots appear, which are not as easy to get rid of as it seems at first glance. Therefore, women who have already dealt with a similar problem are strongly recommended not to touch this layer.

To the owners normal skin, which is enough for two sessions, it won’t be difficult to pay for peeling. But those who require a course of treatment consisting of 4 procedures will have to spend a considerable amount of money.

Let's figure out what this procedure is, how and how many times retinoic peeling can be done, and whether it is possible to use yellow cleansing when planning a pregnancy.

Retinoic peeling can be called one of the most popular chemical peels due to high efficiency and low trauma, the results of the procedure are comparable to the effects of expensive injection techniques. Many people are interested in whether it is possible to use retinol at home?

Since retinoic acid enters into a complex chemical reaction with the skin, it is better to entrust the procedure to professionals in a beauty salon.

Let's look at the pros and cons of peeling, and what results can be achieved with it.

Retinol cleansing - what is it?

Retinoic peels are sometimes called yellow peels due to their ability to stain the skin. The procedure is aimed at exfoliating dead skin cells.

After peeling, the skin takes on a “renewed” appearance, as young cells appear on the surface that are not damaged by the negative effects of the environment.

Retinoic peeling can be classified as a superficial-medium peeling; exfoliation affects not only the stratum corneum, but also part of the epidermis and the capillaries that supply it with blood.

The active substance used during the procedure stimulates cells to divide, helping to restore skin density. In addition, retinol counteracts the influence of enzymes that destroy elastin and collagen molecules.

Compound

The very name of the procedure suggests that it is based on the use of retinoic acid, that is artificial analogue vitamin A.

The concentration of retinol can be different - from 5 to 10 percent.

In addition, auxiliary acids are used in peeling:

• phytic;
• ascorbic acid;
• azelaic.

In the complex, the acids have a pronounced rejuvenating effect:

• exfoliate the skin, stimulating the launch of regenerative processes;
• protect cells from the adverse effects of free radicals;
• restore the density and elasticity of the epidermis.

Pros and cons

It is the numerous benefits that make yellow peeling with retinoic acid such a popular procedure:

• high efficiency, superior to the achievements of softer peelings;
• painlessness;
• fast recovery period;
• absence of unpleasant complications;
• the ability to perform the procedure in the summer without the risk of skin damage.

The disadvantage is that after exposure to retinol, the skin acquires a yellow tint, which, combined with severe peeling, does not allow one to lead a normal lifestyle.

In addition, a high concentration of retinol has an ambiguous effect on the human body, so the procedure has many contraindications.

Indications and contraindications for retinoic resurfacing

Yellow peeling is most often used to rejuvenate the face, neck, décolleté and hands. The procedure is recommended for mature ladies, but it is not contraindicated at a young age - with excessive formation of freckles or keratosis.

Good results can be obtained in the following cases:

• facial wrinkles;
• excessive pigmentation;
• photoaging;
• keratosis;
• acne marks or scars;
• blackheads

The procedure is strictly contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women, as well as for those planning a pregnancy in the next year - this is due to the teratogenic effect of retinol on the fetus.

You should not resort to peeling if you have warts and wounds on the face, people with a weakened liver, and those who are taking medications that are not compatible with vitamin A.

Those who are prone to allergies should also be careful.

Preparation and stages of the procedure

To achieve a noticeable result, a fairly long preparatory period is required - from two to four weeks. First of all, it depends on the skin type you have. For example, asian type has hypersensitivity to the drug, and in this case, lengthy preparation is simply necessary.

A doctor will help you assess the condition of your skin and determine whether it belongs to one type or another during a preliminary examination.

The specialist prescribes home use creams and masks with low concentrations of vitamin A to soften the skin and prepare it for peeling.

In addition, the doctor must ask what medications you are taking and whether you are planning to conceive a child in the near future.

If it turns out that the patient suffers from herpes, then to prevent rashes it will be necessary to take antiviral drug even before the start of the procedure.

During peeling, the specialist carefully removes makeup from the face and applies a mixture of salicylic and glycolic acid, which help quickly exfoliate dead skin cells. Then retinoic acid is applied - even such a sensitive area as the area around the eyes is covered with the composition.

Further, depending on the concentration of the mixture, the active substance is either washed off after twenty minutes or remains on the face for several hours. After removing the acid, the skin must be moisturized with a product prescribed by a specialist.

Restoration and care of facial skin after

Before the procedure, be sure to ask your doctor how to care for your face after yellow peeling. For several days after peeling, the epidermis intensively peels off, disappearing into transparent films. At this time, slight itching and discomfort are possible.

The skin may differ in shade in those places where the old layer has not yet come off. You should not speed up the process on your own; let the keratinized scales come off gradually. In the post-peeling period after yellow peeling, it is extremely important to use care products recommended by a specialist.

At the end of peeling (which usually takes from 3 to 7 days), young cells remain on the surface of the epidermis, which do not yet have sufficient protection from harmful influence ultraviolet.

Therefore, the first weeks after the procedure, the use of sunscreen is simply necessary. It is also advisable to change the usual foundation one that can withstand ultraviolet radiation.

It is not recommended to use other abrasive procedures until the end of the course; washing is allowed only with products for sensitive skin. During the procedure, it is not advisable to resort to hair coloring or perm, you should also not use cosmetics containing vitamin A or its analogues.

Look at the photo to see how the skin peeling stage goes after yellow peeling:

Even at the stage of peeling, the difference between aging and young skin is clearly noticeable:

• healthy color is restored;
• wrinkles are smoothed out;
• deep folds become less pronounced;
• Freckles and age spots disappear;
• acne spots or scars become less noticeable;
• dryness and flaking are eliminated.

To better understand what results chemical yellow facial peeling gives, you should read the reviews of those who have tried the method (they are presented at the end of the article) and look at the before and after photos:

Possible complications and consequences

After peeling, many people experience a feeling of tightness and dryness of the skin; cosmetic products prescribed by a doctor will help cope with these problems.

There may be slight swelling or redness - these phenomena are temporary and will go away in a few days. Most often, complications arise when yellow peeling is performed at home. Incorrectly calculated concentration active substance, lack of due preparatory period– all this can lead to burns, inflammation and severe itching.

It is possible that the body may have a negative reaction to the combination of retinol and the medication you are taking. To minimize risk possible complications, entrust the delicate procedure to a qualified specialist.

Duration of the course and prices in salons

Many people are interested in the question: how often can retinoic peeling be done and how expensive will yellow peeling be? Let's figure it out together.

The required course usually includes 3 to 5 procedures, with an average interval of two weeks. If peeling is intended more for the prevention of aging, then you can get by with one procedure.

The results last for at least five months; the course can be repeated only after six months. The average price for one retinoic peeling procedure ranges from 3 to 5 thousand.

But when calculating the full cost of the yellow cleansing course, do not forget to take into account the cost of care products during the recovery period - they usually cost from 5 to 10 thousand rubles.

In pursuit of beauty, women sometimes decide to make the most unimaginable sacrifices. If you are not afraid of the prospect of peeling skin and the inability to leave the house for several days, yellow peeling is suitable for you. And the reward for temporary inconvenience will be youthful, ruddy skin and a feeling of irresistibility.

Customers' opinions

And in conclusion, we suggest watching a video of how the retinoic (yellow) peeling procedure goes:

Facial peeling is the most popular and affordable procedure aimed at cleansing and rejuvenating the skin. The technique is considered basic care and is recommended for almost any woman over 18 years of age. As a result of exfoliation, the face acquires an even tone, smoothness and radiance, the relief is evened out, and tissue elasticity increases. For young girls, the procedure helps get rid of acne and acne, reduces sebum secretion, and tightens pores.

Why do you need facial peeling?

Skin exfoliation today is one of the five most effective and popular aesthetic cosmetology procedures. The prevalence of the technique is explained by its accessibility, ease of implementation, low price and excellent results.

Any type of exfoliation thins the dermis layer and makes it easier to access deeper levels, making peeling an ideal option for preparing for more complex procedures.

In addition, exfoliation activates the production of collagen and elastin, accelerates tissue regeneration, moisturizes and rejuvenates the skin. Removing the upper or middle layers of the dermis helps get rid of comedones, age spots, scars and cicatrices, whitens and refreshes the face. Correct selection exfoliants can solve many problems of both oily youthful and dry aging skin.

And if the use of superficial peelings, sufficient to moisturize and cleanse the young dermis, requires only following the protocol and high-quality preparations, then medium, and even more deep, exfoliations require an individual approach. Proper use of such peels allows you to achieve a real anti-age effect comparable to plastic surgery.

Pros and cons of the procedure, why it is useful and when it can cause harm

Since ancient times, women have tried to restore beauty and youth in all sorts of ways - they burned the skin with vinegar or acid solutions, scraped off the dermis layer with special spoons with sharp edges, and did a lot of other traumatic and painful procedures. As a result, many patients of beauty clinics, instead of rejuvenation, acquired a permanently disfigured face.

Removing the top layer of skin became safe and effective only after doctors learned to control the depth of exposure and prevent the development of complications.

So, how is peeling useful and what problems does it solve:

• acne stage I-II;
• initial signs of aging ( expression wrinkles, lethargy of tissues, dull complexion);
• uneven terrain;
• pigment formations (spots, melasma, post-traumatic pigmentation);
• skin diseases (dermatitis, eczema, solar keratosis);
• rosacea and rosacea;
• oily dermis with comedones, enlarged pores;
• stagnant spots, post-acne, scars and cicatrices.

All types of exfoliation are performed in a course consisting of 4–10 sessions with an interval between them of 7 to 28 days. As for age limits, some peelings, if indicated, can be done from 18 years of age.

Despite these wonderful benefits, exfoliation is not for everyone. For women with dark skin, the procedure will do more harm than good. Ladies with allergic, sensitive dermis and those who are planning pregnancy should be more careful about exfoliation.

The disadvantages include the seasonality of exfoliation. Most exfoliations should not be performed in spring and summer, when solar activity is highest. The procedure will not help with pronounced age-related changes (ptosis, double chin, large excess skin).

What are the contraindications?

When going for peeling, even the most gentle and superficial one, you should remember the warnings. This will help avoid adverse reactions and get the best effect from the manipulation.

General contraindications to all types of peeling:

• open wounds in the treatment area;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• fresh tan;
• oncology;
• neurological diseases (epilepsy);
• predisposition to scarring;
• hypersensitivity to exfoliant components;
• herpes virus in the acute stage;
• demodicosis;
• fever.

When going to, pay attention to the condition of the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system. The procedure is very traumatic, so it is recommended to undergo a full medical examination in advance.

Classification of peelings by depth of impact

In cosmetology, all exfoliations are usually grouped according to the depth of impact.

Superficial

This is the safest and least traumatic type of exfoliation. Superficial facial peeling works at the level of the stratum corneum and granular layers of the epidermis. Carried out using fruit acids(almond, lactic, glycolic), salicylic and retinoic enzymes.

Superficial exfoliation is suitable for young skin with few problems that needs cleansing and hydration.

The procedure can be carried out either by a cosmetologist or at home, depending on the concentration of the active substance. For a stable and long-lasting effect, several procedures are required.

Median

Median exfoliation affects the granular, spinous and basal layers of the epidermis. Causes excessive peeling and redness of the skin, requiring a recovery period. The procedure is performed only in a beauty salon according to indications.

Peeling is recommended to combat age-related changes in the initial stage, eliminates pigmentation, pimples and acne, reduces the severity of scars and post-acne. Used in preparation for surgical plastic surgery. Medium exfoliation is done with trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Jessner peel and 30% salicylic acid.

Deep

The most traumatic and painful type of exfoliation. It reaches the hypodermis and is performed using chemical compounds or hardware techniques.

The procedure is performed only in a hospital under general anesthesia and in the presence of an anesthesiologist. It has a long rehabilitation period and many side effects and contraindications.

Deep peeling is indicated for serious age-related changes and is a good alternative to surgery. The effect of its use lasts for several years.

Prominent representatives of this group are TCA in 30% concentration.

Popular types of facial peeling in cosmetology

Today there are many options for facial peeling - acid exfoliation, hardware exfoliation, mechanical dermabrasion. The chemical method is considered the most popular, since the manipulation does not require expensive equipment, is affordable and can be easily performed at home.

Recently, representatives of the stronger sex are increasingly resorting to skin cleansing procedures. Most male species exfoliations are: Jessner peel, salicylic, retinoic (yellow) and mechanical.

Almond

The softest and most gentle exfoliation. Suitable for young ladies with delicate, sensitive skin. It perfectly cleanses the face, reduces oiliness, tightens pores, and has an antibacterial effect.

Almond peeling is all-season, practically does not peel and does not require a recovery period. Often used to prepare the skin for medium or deep exfoliation.

Lactic

Another summer option facial cleansing. The main purpose of peeling is to moisturize and increase skin elasticity. Suitable for dry, sensitive and dehydrated skin with the first signs of aging.

Lactic acid is usually used in combination with other chemical enzymes.

Glycolic

Used in different concentrations. Moreover, the richer the peeling composition, the more serious problems the procedure can solve.

Exfoliant 30% is required for girls with oily skin th, blackheads and post-acne. A 70% solution has a more significant effect on the dermis - eliminates expression lines and pigmentation, moisturizes and rejuvenates, copes with stagnant spots and scars.

Salicylic

Refers to mid-impact procedures. Recommended for oily, problematic dermis with acne, blackheads and post-acne.

Salicylic acid is able to penetrate into the mouths of the sebaceous glands, accumulate in them and prevent further acne breakouts. In addition, the exfoliant perfectly disinfects the skin, destroys bacteria, relieves inflammation and dries.

Retinoic

Yellow peeling is indicated for dull and aging skin, pigmentation, post-acne, and acne. Retinoic acid accelerates cell regeneration, improves complexion, whitens and evens out tone.
