Is it possible to reset a dozen years with peeling? Yes, but not all types are equally effective. We will tell you which procedure is suitable for skin rejuvenation.
What is a rejuvenating peel
But among the huge number of varieties of peeling, there are several options that are especially good for aging skin. That is, among other things, they have a lifting effect.
Varieties by depth of impact
Aging skin, marked by wrinkles and age spots, which has lost its elasticity and tone, needs a rather deep effect – a course of medium peels that act on living cells, and not on keratinized scales.
Peeling, like an apple peel, peels off a layer of damaged cells from the skin.
Peeling, which gives a pronounced result, requires some sacrifice.
Causes peeling.
Includes a recovery period. You may need to take a couple of days off from work.
For post-peeling care, you need to stock up on special tools.
However, the success of the event depends not only on the depth of exposure, but also on the selected peeling agent.
As for deep peels, nowadays they are unpopular due to increased trauma, a large number of side effects and risks. They are successfully replaced by more delicate techniques.
Choosing a technique for an anti-aging procedure
Modern cosmetology offers several procedures that are carried out in beauty salons or clinics.
Glycolic peeling
The most popular peeling, which is addressed for any problem. I don’t like something in the condition of the skin – we sign up for glycol peeling. Glycolic acid received this recognition quite deservedly. It perfectly renews the skin and relieves it of imperfections, making it smooth, radiant, moisturized.
The most surprising thing is that glycolic acid indirectly stimulates the production of collagen, that is, it affects the skin frame, restoring its elasticity and density. Therefore, glycolic peeling is called “remodeling”.
Peeling with trichloroacetic acid
A classic medium peel. Trichloroacetic acid is considered the best for deep penetration into the skin. It causes noticeable damage and large-lamellar peeling – a few days after the procedure, crusts form on the face and the skin begins to peel off. Yes, this is not the most pleasant period to endure. The main thing is not to tear off the crusts, do not touch them and let the skin get rid of them on its own.
Peeling with trichloroacetic acid causes coarse lamellar peeling.
Patience will be rewarded – the skin will become radiant, smooth and toned after the first procedure. Perhaps it will be limited to her. But with deep wrinkles (as well as post-acne), the median peeling must be repeated.
Retinol (retinoic) peeling
Laser photothermolysis
This is peeling with a fractional laser, which at one time made a revolution in hardware cosmetology. The effect is very close to the result of medium peeling, although the principle of action is different. The skin is damaged not by a chemical agent, but by a laser. It is evenly “pierced” by thousands of laser microneedles at a strictly specified depth. Due to the fact that living untouched tissue remains between the damaged areas, the skin recovers quickly enough, without undesirable consequences.
Laser photothermolysis successfully replaced traumatic laser resurfacing, and acid peeling made me move
Peeling cannot be avoided, redness and swelling (with a sufficiently deep impact) – too. But the result is amazing.
Is it possible to do anti-aging peeling at home
The range of cosmetic brands includes formulas containing acids: fruit, salicylic, LHA, and retinol. Apply them according to the instructions. Lotions, night creams and concentrates – there are enough options, and they give a great effect for home cosmetics.
But we do not recommend pretending to be a cosmetologist and applying the compositions that professionals work with on the face. This is dangerous.
Without special skills, contact dermatitis can be provoked even with a minimum concentration of acids in the composition, ”warns Ekaterina Turubara, Vichy expert.
