 Ladies, the
scientific-and-technological advance is already in our life. New procedures,
preparations and other almost mystical staff to preserve and increase our
beauty. And the noveltiesappearevery day, if not every hour. Thousands of companies all over the world just long
to save the beauty of the softer sex. And their promises come from TV and computer
screens, they are heard in the headphones and see on the walls of beauty
saloons.
Chemical peeling
is not an invention and it is closely enveloped by gossips, images created by
PR-agencies and idle talks. So, let's see what is what in the core of the
problem.
Thus, a
chemical peeling is one of the popular and well-spread skin peeling procedures.
The name itself says the same since the term «peeling» from the English verb ‘to
peel' means ‘to remove a layer, some skin' (similar to ‘scrub' and ‘exfoliate').
The origin
of exfoliation procedure (especially of this chemical procedure) is vague. Some
saloon experts ascertain that in the ancient times Cleopatra, the Empress,
applied various chemical reagents to her big-nosed face. As a result she never
got older until she died from committing a suicide. You may want to believe in
this myth, of course. But it is my personal opinion that so many things were attributed
to Cleopatra that she could hardly try all these still once in her short life.
Well, the
point is not the Empress of Egypt, though. The point is the interaction of
epidermis and active purifiers, like acids, minerals and clays.
So, what
happens to your skin during this popular procedure? Weak solutions of acids
evenly exfoliate the epidermis layers causing accelerated synthesis of collagen
and thus increasing elasticity and tone of your skin. Then the action of acid is neutralized.
Being rough
enough, chemical peeling acts as an ordinary burn. And the extent to which you
want your face burnt depends on concentrations of acids and their impact.
Three types
of peeling are known, that is shallow, medial and deep.
Shallow peeling
is a sparing, all but painless, though the result is also not very promising.
Shallow peeling is performed in several courses of 4 to 10 sessions. A number
of sessions depends the type of skin, point of tasks to be solved and they are
performed once in 7-12 days. Besides, within the entire course you are subject
to a follow-up therapy at home with the help of acids of low concentrations. In most
cases this is a peeling by fruit acids (alfahydrooxide).
These acids are normally extracted
from grapes or sugar cane, and the methodic, concentration of acids and number
of procedures are defined by the doctor-dermatologist or dermato-cosmetologist.
The indications include problems with oily skin and pimples spots.
Medial peeling
uses trichloroacetic acid of low concentration (10%); it affects medial layers
of the epidermis, gives significant results and is done three to four times
with 10-14 days interval. As an alternative, a peeling with glycolic acid is
considered.
Glycolic
acid is used to turn the watches back and get a bit younger, to remove fine
facial wrinkles and in particular, under eyes. Two-week
therapy is enough to remove fine mimic wrinkles. Sometimes after application of
glycolic peeling ladies suffer from edema and redness that go away within a
day.
A deep peeling
results in remaining of only Malpighian layer the main task of which is
regeneration of the cutaneous skin. This
technique is used to remove fine wrinkles, scars or cicatrices. It is made only
in the hospital. The effect of face rejuvenation is striking but very painful.
You will get better in about a month since after a deep peeling you edema, then a white panniculus and then
redness. And it is important to use relaxing creams with antioxidants. When you
are home, you need to apply sedatives with antioxidants. You must apply moisturizer
or moister cream to meet a lack of moist and remove the feeling of skin stiffness.
One of the
advantages of the chemical peeling is deep influence and therefore the result
is long-lasting. During this procedure women feel prickling, and this case the
acid is neutralized to avoid burning. Nevertheless, a lot depends on your skin
sensitivity.
And it is important
to realize where to stop and employ chemical peeling not so frequent.
And I wonder
how to use all the benefits of this procedure and survive? And you will be
recommended to have it since the promises are made by approved saloons, acknowledged
masters, proven means. And the skin tested for allergic reaction. And how to prove
all this?
Yet, this is
the weakest point. Only to have it on ...your own back. And only like this.
