What is coral peeling

Despite the beautiful name, coral peeling is not too reminiscent of a boat trip – it is quite an intensive procedure. With its help, you can achieve impressive results and get rid of many problems. So it is worth getting acquainted with coral peeling, at least in absentia.

What is coral peeling?

Coral peeling is a type of skin exfoliation that is carried out using crushed coral. In the classic version, this is a rather harsh procedure, comparable in depth to medium peeling, which is characterized by large-lamellar peeling and long-term rehabilitation. Coral chips have a needle-like structure and can severely injure the skin, so the procedure can be painful.

But there is also a soft version of coral peeling with a lower content of coral chips and more comfortable rehabilitation. In addition, since peeling is performed manually, the beautician can vary the depth of the damage by increasing or decreasing the pressure.

Coral peeling is carried out both on the face and on the body (back, arms).

  • уменьшение акне, рубцов и пятен постакне;

  • cleansing and narrowing of pores;

  • уменьшение интенсивности пигментных пятен;

Varieties of coral peeling for the face

There are two variants of coral peeling, differing in the depth of impact (and, accordingly, in hardness).

Deep

The classic Deep-peel is characterized by a high concentration of coral powder, which stimulates renewal at the dermal level. The procedure is quite traumatic, causes pain, involves a period of rehabilitation, but has a bright subsequent effect of skin renewal – as with a median chemical peel.

Surface

The percentage of coral chips is less, and plant components are more. The procedure is comfortable, without burning and tingling sensation. Causes fine peeling and leads to excellent results – smoothing, radiance and elasticity of the skin.

How often can coral peeling be done?

As you might guess, often coral peeling cannot be done – a deep effect is repeated no earlier than two months later, and softer exfoliation can be done once every 28 days. The frequency of sessions, as well as the intensity of coral peeling, is determined by the cosmetologist on an individual basis.

Rules for skin care after coral peeling

The rehabilitation period after coral peeling is 5-10 days, accompanied by reddening of the skin, with possible subsequent darkening of the treated areas and the formation of crusts (or scales), which begin to fall off on the 3rd-5th day. The process may take 4-6 days.

After peeling, you must follow the instructions of the beautician and use the cosmetics recommended by him.

The general rules are:

  • the first two days it is necessary to wash only with warm water;

  • on the third day, when the skin begins to peel off, you need to use a light moisturizer (not greasy);

  • в течение двух недель после процедуры перед выходом на улицу обязательно применение крема с высоким SPF — стандартная рекомендация после любого профессионального (да и домашнего) пилинга.
