Is it possible to lose ten years with peeling? Yes, but not all types are equally effective. We will tell you which procedure is suitable for skin rejuvenation.
What is anti-aging peeling
Frankly speaking, any peeling is rejuvenating, as this procedure forces the skin to replace old cells with new ones. Naturally, young and fresh looks better than old and dull. But among the huge number of peeling varieties, 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 elasticity and tone, needs a very deep effect - a series of medium peels that act on living cells, and not on dead skin scales.
Exfoliation, like peeling an apple, removes a layer of damaged skin cells. Peeling, which gives a pronounced result, requires some sacrifices.
- Causes peeling.
- Provides a recovery period. You may have to take a few days off from work.
- For post-peeling care, you need to stock up on special products.
However, the success of the event depends not only on the depth of the impact, but also on the selected peeling agent. As for deep peelings, nowadays they are unpopular due to the increase in trauma, the large number of side effects and risks. They are being successfully replaced by more delicate techniques.
Choosing a technique for an anti-aging procedure
Modern cosmetology offers various procedures that are performed in beauty salons or clinics.
Glycolic peeling
The most popular peeling, used for any problems. If you don't like something about the condition of your skin, we recommend a glycolic peeling. Glycolic acid has deservedly received this recognition. Perfectly renews the skin and eliminates imperfections, making it smooth, radiant and hydrated.
The most surprising thing is that glycolic acid indirectly stimulates the production of collagen, that is, it affects the structure of the skin, restoring its elasticity and density. That's why glycolic peeling is called "remodeling. "
Peeling with trichloroacetic acid
Classic medium peeling. Trichloroacetic acid is considered the best for deep penetration into the skin. It causes noticeable damage and peeling of large plaques - 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 pick off the crusts, not to touch them and let the skin get rid of them on its own.
Peeling with trichloroacetic acid causes peeling in large plaques. Patience will be rewarded - the skin will be radiant, smooth and toned after the first procedure. Perhaps this is the end of the matter. For deep wrinkles (as well as post-acne), the medium peeling must be repeated.
Retinol (retinoic) peeling
In addition to the yellow color, it is famous for not damaging the upper layer of the epidermis, but acting on the basal layer, stimulating cell division. New cells rise en masse to the top, replacing the surface layers. Peeling does not always happen - it all depends on the specific composition of the peeling. But the improvement in turgor and skin lifting are guaranteed.
laser photothermolysis
This is fractional laser peeling, which at one time revolutionized hardware cosmetology. The effect is very close to the result of an average peeling, although the principle of action is different. It is not the chemical agent that damages the skin, but the laser. It is "stitched" evenly with thousands of laser microneedles at a strictly specified depth.
Due to the fact that living, untouched tissue remains between the damaged areas, the skin is restored quickly enough without undesirable consequences.
Laser photothermolysis successfully replaced traumatic laser resurfacing, and acid peeling kept me moving forward. Peeling cannot be avoided, as can redness and swelling (with sufficiently deep exposure). But the result is incredible!
Is it possible to do anti-aging peeling at home?
The assortment of cosmetic brands includes formulas containing acids: fruit, salicylic and retinol. Use them according to the instructions. Lotions, night creams and concentrates - the options are enough and give an excellent effect for home cosmetics. But we do not recommend pretending to be a cosmetologist and applying compositions to your face that professionals work with. It's dangerous.
Without special skills, you can provoke contact dermatitis even with a minimum concentration of acids in the composition
