Chemical peeling: whether really helps?

Your skin needs healthy nutrition? We will tell you about the last novelties in the field of peelings for the person.

A few years ago the thought that someone puts to himself on a face substance which actually burns skin, seemed unnatural, but today a chemical peeling - one of the most frequent cosmetic procedures. Allocate three main types:

Peeling glycoleft acid

This softest and easy peeling from all available. The glycoleft acid is a soft chemical solution which deletes dead cages from the upper layers of the skin. For this type of a peeling of the doctor use high concentration of acid while softer solutions are used in beauty shops and are given to clients for use in house conditions. Often it is called 'a peeling during a lunch' as this procedure is performed about 10 - 15 minutes. When drawing patients feel easy burning which ceases in a few minutes. Reddenings disappear by the end of day, and the glycoleft peeling can be reused as required.

Smoothes the uneven, dry or injured by the sun skin, providing it with bright appearance and fresh texture. Besides, it influences wrinkles and age spots on a face and hands.

Minuses: results of a vremenna, and the procedure demands repeated performance. It works only with superficial problems of skin.

Peeling trikhloruksusny acid

This peeling uses trikhloruksusny acid or TCA (it is stronger than the glycoleft acid and gets more deeply) which softly deletes the upper layer of the skin. As acid gets in a term, or an average skin layer, this peeling actually restores the level of collagen and an elastinovy layer of skin. During the 15-minute procedure the patient feels feeling of burning. It is moderate discomfort, and the swelled up a little face within a week and the minimum quantity of scabs which keep only several days will be result. Complete recovery and improvement of the 'renewed' layers of skin happens within several weeks after a peeling, but most of patients look presentably and return to normal activity in a week.

It is good for early wrinkles, small scarring and age spots on a face and hands. It can also interfere with a moderate solar burn, level the pigmentation and skin subject to influence of weather.

Minuses: while regenerated skin looks is much fresher more exactly, you have to be ready that the procedure brings some discomfort and week (and maybe more) the restoration period. As with any strong acid or a laser peeling there is a risk of scarring, and the processed areas can have a whitish shade.

Phenolic peeling

The strongest type of a chemical peeling, this method uses carbolic acid for deep skin exfoliation of the person. Actually it is used seldom because gets very deeply. Besides, because of local anesthesia the risk increases. Recovery time – from one to three weeks, after the procedure skin will be very red. The next six-eight weeks it will pass from pink to a natural shade. Resembles for deep wrinkles, hems and the skin injured by the sun.

Minuses: along with the fact that your skin after the procedure will become smooth and tightened process very discomfortable. The person becomes swelled up and most of patients do not feel comfortably within two weeks after the procedure. It is possible to distinguish scarring, long-term skin lightening and a difference in pigmentation between the processed and raw areas from other problems. This type of a peeling is not recommended for people with dark skin.

Microdermabrasion

This, rather new, technology of processing of skin also has the names Particle Resurfacing, Power Peel, Derma Peel or Parisian Peel, and Spa - and beauty shops and also in offices of dermatologists and plastic surgeons is carried out in various. The doctor uses the manual device which lets out parts of crystals, similar to sand (oxide of aluminum or table salt) on the face of the patient, a neck or a decollete, and then soaks up them back together with dirty and dead cells of skin. It is a type of a peeling takes about 45 minutes for processing of all person. After that the patient can return for work, having only insignificant reddening which can be disguised by cosmetics. Completely reddening will fall down through one – two hours. This procedure is not painful though patients feel easy pricking, but it does not demand anesthetics and has no restrictions in color of skin. As a result of processing skin gets healthy shine. To achieve optimum results, it is necessary to execute from five prior to ten sessions each seven-ten days, but most of patients see improvement after four-five sessions. After an initial series often recommend periodically repeating visits (from once a month to once in three months).

Some clinics combine microdermabrasion with the glycoleft peeling during the several first sessions.

Will be suitable for smoothing of roughnesses and superficial wrinkles, improvement of a surface of the skin injured by the sun, uneven pigmentation and minimization of the damaged capillaries and age spots. Microdermabrasion is often effective for elimination of black points. Many doctors note that the repeating microdermabrasion promotes increase in production of collagen.

Minuses: microdermabrasion is often carried out quicker and is more effective, than the saloon procedures or products used in house conditions at the same time are affected deeper layers, than at a peeling by the glycoleft acid. However the procedure demands periodic repetition. It cannot prevent and remove completely hems, other deep skin dredging, deep wrinkles in a mouth or a furrow on a forehead; even superficial wrinkles and scars are not always removed completely.

Dermabraziya

It is a deep mechanical peeling which gets more deeply, than microdermabrasion, and uses quickly rotating grinding wheel or a wire brush for scraping of the upper layer of the skin. For calm of skin the freezing spray is applied. After completion of the procedure the patient feels softness, but at the same time there is a feeling that you burned in the sun a little. Skin will be shelled within a week, the new top layer is not formed yet. Reddening can be sharply expressed and can continue within several weeks or months, however it gives in to masking by cosmetics. Big areas are processed under the general anesthesia while small spaces can demand only local anesthesia. The procedure usually demands carrying out night in hospital if big areas were processed.

It is good for: Processings of hems, scars, wrinkles, skin pigmentation and the skin injured by sunshine.

Minuses: The discomfort, quite big term of restoration which can take several weeks is felt. Besides, residual reddening which can remain long time.
