Peeling is a procedure that is used to cleanse, renew, smooth the skin and eliminate its age-related changes. Types of peeling differ depending on the means used for it: mechanical, hardware and chemical.

We will tell you more about the most popular varieties of this procedure and how often you can do face peeling with each of the methods.

How often can mechanical peeling be done?

Mechanical peeling is mechanical skin resurfacing, removal of the upper layer of the epidermis manually or using devices designed for this. Most varieties of mechanical peeling are classified as superficial, their effect on the epidermis is quite gentle. The procedure is used to improve the appearance of the skin, cleanse it and enhance metabolic processes.

Varieties of mechanical peeling:

• Brossage. A type of salon peeling, in which the skin is polished with a machine with soft brushes or sponges. Improves blood supply to the skin, exfoliates, enhances the effect of other caring procedures. Can be used all year round, once every 7-14 days (its frequency is determined depending on the type and needs of the skin).
• Facial peeling with scrubs in the salon. For mechanical peeling in the salon, many different preparations have been invented. Peeling with corals, coffee, bodyaga, salt is very popular. Such peeling for people with oily skin can be done every week, and for those with dry skin, it is better to do intervals of 2 weeks between procedures. If used regularly, the skin becomes thinner, so between courses you need to give the skin a rest: do peeling for two months in a row, and then take a break for three months.
• Dermabrasion. This type of peeling is a skin polishing with special nozzles with abrasive particles applied to them. It is used for polishing skin irregularities: scars, scars, smoothing wrinkles. Often not all skin is polished, but only problem areas. Usually, dermabrasion is used to combat serious imperfections, which means that a deep effect is required: the top layer of the skin is completely removed, healing takes a long time (2-6 months). The procedure is carried out with anesthesia, the severity is compared with a surgical operation. Most often it is performed in several stages with a break of 3-6 months. Like other deep peels, it can be done only a few times in a lifetime (no more than 3 times).
• Microdermabrasion. Mechanically, without contact with the skin, but with the help of a supplied jet of air or water with or without the addition of an abrasive. Removes the upper layer of the epidermis, dead cells, while stimulating the deeper layers. Increases skin tone, smoothes fine wrinkles, removes excess pigmentation, improves color, texture, relief. It is recommended to do it in a course of 5 to 20 procedures in 1 - 2 weeks, then a break for 1 - 3 months, and you can repeat the course again.

With constant use of one type of peeling, the effect usually decreases. Therefore, peeling is done in courses, in the intervals between them, giving the skin a rest.

How often can a chemical peel be done?

The great popularity of this type of procedure can be explained by its convenience. By choosing the type and concentration of a chemical, you can cleanse the skin at the right depth and deal with its shortcomings as effectively as possible.

A large number of preparations have been developed for chemical peeling, their type and depth of exposure is selected depending on what skin problems need to be corrected. So, the main types of chemical peels:

Surface

• - acids. Narrows pores, used to combat rosacea, acne, the first signs of aging. Usually acids with non-aggressive effects are used for it: fruit, glycolic, lactic, etc. It is carried out in a course of 5 - 10 sessions with an interval of 1.5 - 2 weeks, the action lasts up to a year, and then the procedure is repeated (it can be done once every 6 months). Once a quarter, cosmetologists advise to carry out one procedure to maintain the effect.
• - enzymes. Allows you to gently cleanse the skin, these preparations contain enzymes, that is, products of plant origin. Such peeling is allowed to be done once a week, and if necessary, more often.

Median

For him, more concentrated preparations are taken that remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal. The procedure has not only a cleansing effect, but also rejuvenates the skin well. It can be done annually in a series of three to four treatments, ideally during the holidays, because the skin needs to be restored.

Deep

A serious treatment to combat deep scars and severe wrinkles. It requires a highly qualified specialist, preliminary preparation of the skin, recovery takes a long time. The top layer of the skin is "burned" by chemical agents (usually phenol), and then its gradual regeneration and renewal takes place. This type of peeling is advised to do 1-2 (no more than 3 times) in a lifetime, and the minimum interval between procedures is a year, because the preparations for this type of peeling are very toxic, and the procedure is painful for the body.

Superficial chemical peeling is good for young problematic skin, but the median is recommended to start doing no earlier than 30 years, when age-related changes in the epidermis appear.

How often can you do a peeling

This type of peeling is different in that it is performed using special devices: laser or ultrasonic equipment.

• Laser peeling. It is done by a laser beam that enters the skin cells, causing the production of collagen as a response. Wrinkles are reduced, the skin becomes healthy and beautiful, while there is no serious injury to it. It can be performed even on the delicate skin of the décolleté and around the eyes.
• Ultrasonic peeling. For this procedure, an apparatus that emits ultrasonic waves is used. It is very soft, and the result is visible immediately - no need to wait for recovery.

Hardware peeling with both laser and ultrasound can be done every 3-4 months in a course of 8 procedures with a break of several days, for a month, or monthly for one procedure.

When choosing the type of peeling and its depth, you need to understand that too weak a procedure may not help in the fight against problems, and too strong is always associated with risks of complications.

Peeling at home

For it, abrasive preparations are most often used - all kinds of creams with exfoliating components of plant, mineral or artificial origin, as well as self-prepared products. Fruit acids in low concentrations are also very popular. Any type of home peeling should be performed on average once a week (for oily skin as often as possible, and for dry - on the contrary, you should not be zealous, it is better to do it no more than once every 10 - 15 days).

1. Superficial peeling is usually done in courses, several times in a row with a frequency of 1 time per week or two weeks. It is better to alternate them with a rest period during which maintenance procedures can be done.
2. Median peeling should be carried out once every six months - a year or even less often, with a course prescribed by a cosmetologist: depending on what problems are being solved and what means are being used. Such a procedure should not be done in the summer, because after it the skin needs protection from the sun. Best time- spring or autumn.
3. Deep peeling has a very strong effect on the skin, the effect of it is strong, but it is a great stress for the body. Can be used no more than once a year and no more than 3 times in a lifetime. Requires a long recovery.
4. Peeling at home, on your own, can be done regularly, but for sensitive skin it is better to do it no more than once every 1 - 2 weeks.

What else determines the period between peels

The frequency of peeling also depends on:

• age. The older the person, the more often the procedure should be carried out, because mature skin needs constant support.
• skin type. For thin skin peeling is a more serious load, and if the procedure is carried out often, it may, on the contrary, suffer.
• Problems to be solved. To get rid of acne and just to “cheer up” the skin, improve its general condition, not as many procedures are required as, for example, to combat wrinkles.
• Depths of impact. The more serious and deeper the effect on the skin, the longer the interval between courses should be.

When choosing which type of peeling is better to do, and how often, be sure to listen to the opinion of your cosmetologist - he sees the condition of the skin better and knows what is needed for it.

Facial peeling is one of the most popular procedures for maintaining youthfulness and beauty of the skin. The frequency and frequency of sessions for each woman are individual and depend on several parameters: the method of exfoliation and the depth of exposure, the age and condition of the skin, the time of year in which the cleanings are carried out are taken into account. Compliance with the frequency and frequency of peeling procedures will help to obtain the expected aesthetic effect and avoid complications.

Age features of peeling

The first changes in the condition of the skin are observed along with puberty. At this time, the work of the sebaceous glands is activated, which leads to rapid clogging of pores and the appearance of a large number acne and comedones, also called black dots. At this time, the skin is especially in need of cleansing, but only superficial cleansing is allowed for teenagers.

• film masks;
• cleansing the skin with scrubs;
• use of ultrasound.

During this period, only natural remedies, gently cleansing the surface layer of the skin. Such compounds remove dead cells of the epidermis, nourish and moisturize the skin.

After 30 years, muscle tone decreases and the secretion of the sebaceous glands slows down. The skin becomes dry faster, its shade changes due to circulatory disorders. The production of collagen is reduced, due to which the skin loses its elasticity and becomes flabby. At this age, it is useful to start more aggressive types of cleansing, including chemical peels. Such procedures help to preserve youth, even out skin tone and eliminate age-related wrinkles.

At the age of 40-45 years, cosmetologists advise to perform deep cleaning and laser resurfacing.

How often do you clean the interior?

The frequency and frequency of peelings in the salon is determined by several factors, which include:

• quality of daily home care;
• age;
• selected type of exfoliation;
• problems that need to be solved.

Since the life cycle of cells is 1 month, dead units must be periodically removed from the skin surface. This can be done with daily washes with foams and soft gels. For better cleansing, it is recommended to use tonics containing salicylic, retinolic or glycolic acids and scrubs. Such manipulations are carried out once a week.

To get rid of traces of acne, they undergo a full course of peelings with a frequency of sessions once a month. To remove unwanted pigmentation, cleaning is carried out more often. The exact number of procedures and the frequency of their implementation is determined by the beautician.

Frequency of mechanical and hardware cleanings

Mechanical cleansing has its effect only on the surface layer of the epidermis. In this regard, it is referred to as soft, gentle. This cleaning improves appearance face and accelerate metabolic reactions.

To perform hardware peeling, ultrasound or a laser is used. As a result of such cleaning, the skin is practically not injured, and the effect is visible immediately.

The frequency with which mechanical and hardware cleaning should be carried out depends on the type of procedure and the age of the woman:

Procedure	Peculiarities	Frequency and Periodicity
Dermabrasion	This peeling acts on the middle layer and deep in the epidermis. The hardware procedure involves the removal of dead layers with the help of a diamond-coated cosmetic nozzle. This cleansing reduces wrinkles, heals skin tone, eliminates scars, scarring and darkening. During peeling, the epidermis is seriously injured and requires a long recovery period.	The course is from 4 to 6 manipulations, carried out every 10-14 days. The duration of the break between courses is at least 3 months
scrubbing	The impact is carried out exclusively in the surface layers of the epidermis, therefore, such manipulation is allowed to be performed not only in the salon, but also at home. Cleansers consist of natural substances: coffee beans, fruit pits, bodyagi, coral particles, sea ​​salt or sugar	The full course includes 6-8 procedures. Depending on the condition of the skin, the interval between cleanings is kept from 7 days to 2 weeks. Then take a break for 3 weeks
Brossage	The superficial cleansing procedure exfoliates dead skin particles with soft action massage brushes or a resilient sponge head. This procedure allows you to carefully remove the dead layer and activate blood flow, stimulating cell nutrition. Brossage is recommended as a preparation for a more aggressive impact.	Brossage is carried out in a course of 8-10 procedures during the year. The interval between individual procedures is kept from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the condition and sensitivity of the epidermis. Then take a break of 3 months or more before the next course
Ultrasonic peeling	This procedure is the safest and most gentle. The sound wave destroys the dead layer of cells, smoothing and refreshing the complexion. Most often, ultrasonic cleaning is used to prepare for a chemical peel.	It is necessary to carry out from 4 to 8 procedures. For oily skin, the interval between them is maintained at 7 days, for more sensitive and normal - 2 weeks. Before a second course, give the skin a rest for at least 3 months
Gas-liquid peeling	Cleaning is carried out only in the cabin on sophisticated equipment. The impact is carried out by a jet cold water containing oxygen and carbon dioxide. The procedure allows you to smooth the skin relief, eliminate pigmentation and inflammation.	For best results, 4-6 sessions are required after 7 days. After a full course, at least three months must pass before a second session
Laser peeling	Cleansing affects the middle and deep layers of the skin, eliminates age-related changes, the effects of dermatological diseases and scars. A controlled thermal burn occurs on the skin, causing an increased formation of collagen and elastin fibers.	One course involves the implementation of 6-8 procedures every 7 days. Between individual courses, a break of at least 4 months is observed.

To maintain the effectiveness of cleansing, cosmetologists recommend alternating types of peeling with each other, since the constant use of the same procedure is addictive.

Frequency of chemical peels

Modern cosmetology offers many methods of chemical cleansing, with different purposes, depth and degree of impact. Compositions based on acids and enzymes in the required concentration exfoliate the epidermis to a certain depth, eliminating not only minor cosmetic defects, but also significant age-related changes, vascular "asterisks" and unwanted pigmentation.

Depending on the degree of influence exerted, chemical peels are divided into the following types:

Viewchemical peeling	Peculiaritiesprocedures	Frequency and Periodicity
Surface	Under the influence of acids and enzymes, only the surface layer of the epidermis dissolves. The procedure allows you to get rid of the initial age and mimic transformations of the skin. This group of cleansing includes exfoliation with lemon, wine or apple cider vinegar, with calcium chloride, with bodyaga, bamboo or placental extract, Jessner peeling, enzyme or peptide and other types	The full course involves 5-8 procedures with a break between them from 10 days to 2 weeks. The interval between courses lasts at least 4 months
Median	Such a procedure, in addition to eliminating minor defects, helps to preserve youth, eliminates unwanted pigmentation, post-acne and inflammatory processes. During the procedure, concentrated chemicals are used that require neutralization. It is dangerous to perform such manipulations at home. This group includes yellow retinoic, azelaic, TCA, phytic, pyruvic peels and their analogues.	Median cleanings are performed in courses of 3-4 sessions. Between them you need to withstand the recovery period of 2 weeks. Only autumn or winter is suitable for this manipulation, the course is held once a year
Deep	Such a serious effect on the skin should be carried out only in a beauty salon. To perform cleaning, toxic phenolic acid is used, which destroys the epidermis and the initial layer of the dermis. Cleaning is done only for mature skin or to eliminate deep scars and scars	Correctly perform the procedure no more than 1 time per year. In a lifetime, you can only do a deep dry cleaning three times.

For medium and deep dry cleaning, it is important to choose the right time of the year when the activity of sunlight is minimal: late autumn or early spring. Otherwise, there is a high probability of the formation of unwanted pigmentation and aggravation of existing problems.

Of great importance is the shade of the skin and its structure: a swarthy tone and large pores significantly reduce the effectiveness of cleaning. Therefore, with light and thin skin, peelings can be done more often.

Cleansing at home

Self-cleansing of the face is necessary from the age of 16-18. After reaching the age of 30, regular peels become an integral part of skin care.

Even in the case of using natural formulations, the frequency and frequency of sessions are determined solely by the condition and individual characteristics of the skin:

1. 1. Oily skin. With this type of skin, it is useful to carry out the procedure twice a week. More frequent peelings provoke active activity of the sebaceous glands, and if they are performed less often, there will be no qualitative result. Scrubs based on coffee grounds, salt or finely ground sugar are optimally suited for cleansing oily skin.
2. 2. Dry skin. With dry skin, sessions should be carried out much less frequently. Peeling is recommended no more than twice a month. Scrub for such skin should be soft and not contain traumatic particles. Mixtures of oatmeal and liquid honey are ideal.
3. 3. Mixed skin. To cleanse oily areas, peeling is used as needed. A noticeable result is shown by mixtures of wheat bran, sleeping tea or ready-made scrubs with a mild effect. Sessions are performed once a week.
4. 4. Normal skin. With such skin, problems with exfoliation usually do not arise. It tolerates the effects of most modern cosmetic preparations. As additional funds use mixtures of sour cream or cream with oatmeal, fruit pits and other natural abrasives. Such procedures are allowed to be carried out once within three to four days.

Peeling is an integral part of mandatory facial skin care, as it can provide cleansing and renewal of the epidermis, as well as cope with a number of difficult aesthetic problems. At the same time, any peeling effect is stressful for the skin, since it is aimed at destruction and removal of upper layers skin, sometimes injuring living cellular structures. Based on this definition, the question arises of how often facial peeling can be done so as not to harm the skin and achieve the maximum cosmetic effect.

The frequency of peeling is determined individually, depending on the type of skin and the method of cleansing.

The frequency of the procedure depending on the type of peeling

In order to determine the frequency of the procedure, it is necessary to understand that peeling is called a wide heterogeneous group. cosmetic procedures aimed at cleansing the skin. Depending on the method of peeling, the following procedures are distinguished:

• chemical peeling;
• mechanical peeling;
• physical peeling.

Each of these groups is divided into dozens of subgroups, depending on the peeling agent. For each type of cosmetic procedures, the regularity of manipulations will be determined strictly individually. However, the decisive factor in determining how often to do face peeling will be the depth of exposure to the skin. According to this factor, there are three types of peels:

When deciding how often to peel, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the regularity of this procedure is limited autumn-winter period when the solar activity is at its lowest. In summer and spring, almost all types of peeling are prohibited.

Self-care is a complex and gradual process. From the very youth, every well-groomed girl knows that the skin needs to be moisturized and nourished, but first it needs to be cleansed in order to prepare it for these procedures. Daily washing, removal of cosmetics and other superficial manipulations are necessary, but even deeper cleansing is indispensable. More precisely, you can get by, but without exfoliation, the skin will not be as smooth and radiant as we would like. So peeling is also a mandatory and regular skin care procedure. That's just how often to do face peeling, so that it brings benefits, and not harm? After all, the deeper the impact, the higher the risk of harming the skin. We will tell you how often you can and should exfoliate your face, as well as how to exfoliate your face according to your skin type, condition and your goal.

What is peeling? Types and methods of face peeling
In a general sense, peeling is the same as exfoliation, that is, the removal of "excess" skin. Excess is the upper, keratinized and inanimate layer of the epithelium. It is formed as a result of the natural functioning of the skin. In its deeper layers, new cells are formed, and the former ones gradually die off and form a kind of protective barrier. In a certain amount, these cells are essential for the safety and health of facial skin. But their excess makes it rough, dull. In order for the skin to radiate a healthy glow, you need to do peeling of the face and body. But if the skin on the body is dense enough, then the face requires a more careful attitude. Therefore, it is often impossible to do face peeling. But too rarely - useless.

The frequency of face peeling depends on many factors. This is the type of skin from nature, and the state of health, and the season (climate). But it is even more important to choose the right type of peeling, that is, those products that will be used to exfoliate the skin. Depending on the composition of these products and their cosmetological effects, there are such types of facial peeling:
All types of peeling, or exfoliation, remove dead cells and open the surface of new skin, and at the same time stimulate its regeneration. But the skin on different parts of the body and face is distinguished by density and sensitivity. And the frequency of peeling is determined not only by its type, but also by the depth of exposure (superficial, median, deep). The deeper the impact, the less often you can do such peeling.

How often should I do a chemical facial peel?
It is chemical peeling that requires the most careful analysis and selection, so first let's find out how often you can do face peeling with acids. The group of chemical solvents-exfoliants includes a wide variety of acids of natural and laboratory origin:

• Fruit acids: glycolic, lactic, malic, tartaric, citric, etc.
  
• Antiseptic acids: salicylic, benzoic, trichloroacetic, etc.
  
• Synthetic acids: kojic, phytic, azelaic, retinoic, etc.
  
• Plant enzymes that break down the peptide bond between amino acids in the proteins that make up skin cells.
  

In other words, the chemical peel procedure results in a chemical burn of the skin. Since this burn is not the result of an accident, but a controlled effect, its depth and duration are predetermined and strictly controlled in the process. However, even the slightest burn is an injury, and even its beneficial (stimulating renewal) effect should be minimal.

Chemical peeling inevitably affects not only dead, but living cells in the deeper layers of the epidermis, where acids penetrate. Under the action of acid, the protein of living cells denatures (its structure is destroyed), which looks like intense reddening of the skin from the outside. In medical language, such redness, bordering on inflammation, is called erythema. Erythema is observed for quite a long time after peeling. Depending on its depth and composition, from 7-10 to 14-20 days. Accordingly, repeated peeling procedures are not carried out more often than this interval.

The deepest variants of chemical peels cause not only redness, but also real hemorrhages in all layers of the skin. The epidermis bleeds as a result of such damage, and a scab forms in place of the punctate wounds. The eschar lasts an average of about two weeks, and the erythema that replaces it does not go away for months (from 2 to 4). Deep peeling is often forbidden, and simply impossible. As for specific dates, only the cosmetologist conducting the procedure can appoint them after a thorough examination before and after peeling. We can only say that for an optimal result (fighting wrinkles, reducing pigmentation, etc.), the lightest superficial peels are usually carried out in courses of 4-6 procedures, each of which is carried out no more than once every two weeks.

Medium and deep chemical peels should be done once a year, maximum - once every six months. And at the same time, choose the right time: early spring or late autumn, when solar activity is minimal. In addition, dark skin tone and enlarged pores complicate the procedure and reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, owners of light and thin skin can do facial peeling more often than swarthy and tanned.

How often to do face peeling in the salon?
If chemical peeling can be done both in the salon and at home (in these cases, different compositions and concentrations of acids are used), then neither laser nor ultrasonic peeling can be done at home. If you have chosen one of the quiet procedures for yourself, then in any case you will find yourself at the reception of a beautician who, after examination, will select the appropriate course, that is, the number and intensity of sessions. Without knowing the characteristics of the skin, we can only say that salon peeling is done a couple of times a week. Depending on the condition of the skin, two to eight treatments may be required. Accordingly, you will visit the beautician's office every 3-4 days for a maximum of one month. This will be followed by a break necessary for the complete recovery and relaxation of the skin. And then, if you want, hardware peeling can be repeated. But that won't happen until six months later. But if you do facial peeling with a laser or ultrasound at such intervals regularly, the skin will be renewed, but not injured - in a word, ideal.

How often to do face peeling at home?
Independent mechanical facial peeling, or scrubbing, can and should be done right from the age of 16-18. After 30 years, peeling becomes a mandatory procedure to maintain the freshness and youthfulness of the skin. Recipes for homemade scrubs and peels are varied, and each family passes on their own recipes from mother to daughter. folk recipes from natural products. But often peeling is impossible even with the most natural composition. In general, the choice of peeling and the frequency of its use should depend not only on the fact that at one time he helped mom and grandmother, but on the type and condition of your skin personally:

1. For oily skin, peeling can be done 1-2 times a week. More often it is not worth it, because this will provoke even more sebum production, and less often the effect of peeling will be invisible. Make a natural scrub for oily skin with coffee grounds, fine salt and sugar.
   
2. For dry facial skin, peeling should be done less frequently: once every couple of weeks, or even less often (depending on the reaction of the skin). Dry skin needs a gentle and non-irritating scrub, which can be made from oatmeal, liquid honey, etc.
   
3. Combination skin requires careful exfoliation and scrub selection. You can, for example, do a T-zone peel once a week to remove “black spots” on the nose and chin, and peel the face as needed. Use for exfoliation mixed skin a natural scrub made from wheat bran, tea leaves, or buy a ready-made mild cream scrub.
   
4. Normal facial skin is best tolerated by home peeling. Most quality exfoliating beauty products will work for it, and you can additionally polish it with a mixture of sour cream or face cream with oatmeal, ground nuts and / or other natural abrasives. You can do this peeling every 3-4 days.
   

Even mild peeling injures the skin to one degree or another. Do not abuse any type of peeling to healthy skin normal type did not become irritated, sensitive and / or overdried. The optimal frequency of mechanical peeling can be considered weekly exfoliation in the warm season and peeling twice a week in autumn and winter. Well, salon cosmetic procedures are entirely under the jurisdiction of specialists who determine how often to do face peeling individually for each patient. Listen to the advice of your beautician, do not be self-confident and exfoliate as often as your skin needs. Beauty and health!

Peeling - treatment based on exposure chemical solution or apparatus on the layers of the skin. It helps not only to remove impurities accumulated in the pores, but also stimulates the dermis to work, evens out the relief of the epidermis and promotes renewal at the cellular level. How often you can do face peeling, at what time of the year it will be most appropriate, not every visitor to a beauty parlor knows.

The frequency of peelings depending on the depth of exposure

Peelings are distinguished by the degree of impact on the skin. Let's take a closer look at the details of each of them:

Surface

The easiest and most gentle type of this type of cleaning. The chemical does not penetrate deep into the skin and does not touch living cells. Most often, fruit or lactic acid is used. The solution has a small (up to 20%) percentage of concentration, which explains the surface effect.

Mechanical superficial peeling is also possible, based on manual cleaning of the stratum corneum.

It can be carried out once before a course of deeper exposure for preliminary cleaning of the skin. If we talk about an independent procedure, it is recommended to take a course of 4-10 sessions.

The break between procedures is from 1 to 1.5 weeks. The duration of the course depends on the problem: getting rid of pigmentation, rejuvenating effect or acne treatment.

Depending on the type of skin and sensitivity, after the procedure, the face may turn red, and after a couple of days - peel off. It's a natural phenomenon you just need to use moisturizing creams more often and temporarily abandon decorative cosmetics.

Median

Affects the entire depth of the epidermis when a deeper effect on the problem is needed. These can be signs of photoaging, medium and deep wrinkles, as well as age spots and moles on the face. The procedure is performed for women over 25 years of age. Means for chemical median peeling is trichloroacetic acid with an indicator of 20–50%. Possible hardware peeling.

After treatment, the skin gets a slight burn, recovery after each procedure lasts 2 weeks. The course, depending on the problem, ranges from 3 to 10 sessions.

Deep

The impact is carried out to the entire depth of the epidermis and half of the layers of the dermis. The deep type is used extremely rarely due to the aggressiveness of the impact and the very long recovery period. The type includes hardware, mechanical and chemical peels.

Of course, the client receives a powerful aesthetic rejuvenating effect, but the procedure itself is painful, requires patience and great care in the post-peeling period.

Note! The more aggressive the peeling, the longer the skin recovers after the procedure. But there is also a positive nuance - the effect of rejuvenation comes faster and lasts longer.

Frequency of performing procedures depending on the type and nature of the impact

The type of procedure cannot be chosen independently. It is selected by a cosmetologist, focusing on the client's age, skin type, aesthetic problem and possible contraindications to cosmetic procedures. The frequency of procedures depending on the type of peeling is as follows:

1. Chemical. Superficial peeling is suitable for stimulating young skin to renew, even out color or brighten age spots. The median is relevant for small scars, the fight against age-related changes. Deep is carried out no more than 3 times in a lifetime, with a break of at least a year. Depending on the desired effect and the type of exposure selected by the cosmetologist, the course may consist of 2-10 sessions with a break of 1-3 weeks. You can repeat the course at least six months later (except for the deep one).
2. Mechanical. The easiest peeling is scrubbing, which can be done at home. It is recommended to carry out 1 time in 1-2 weeks. Hardware mechanical peeling is a microdermabrasion performed by a cosmetologist. The bottom line is polishing the top layer of the skin. Dermabrasion has a medium and deep effect, the depth depends on the nozzle of the device. The course is 5-20 sessions with a frequency of 1-1.5 weeks. The classic course lasts 5-8 sessions, can be repeated after 1-3 months.
3. Physical. This type includes ultrasonic cleaning and laser vaporization. The number of sessions does not exceed 10. Sessions are held 1-2 times a week. The course is repeated after 3-5 months.

Important! The younger the skin, the faster the integrity is restored, and less aggressive treatment is required.

When is the best time to take a peel course?

Peeling of the skin of the face is a violation of the integrity of the skin. This means that the skin becomes more susceptible to irritants. environment. And first of all it is exposed to the influence of natural factors, such as the sun, frost, wind.

Scrubbing at home is allowed to be done at any time of the year.

If the course is held in the hot season, carry out post-peeling care with particular care. The main rule is to use moisturizers daily to help regenerate the skin and close the pores from dust.

When going outside, lubricate your face and neck with sunscreen with an spf of at least 50. This rule is relevant regardless of the type of procedure and the depth of exposure.

In winter, this procedure is also carried out, but after that it is necessary to use products for deep nutrition and moisturizing of the skin. It is recommended not to do deep peels during the cold season.
