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, because 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 its elasticity and tone, needs a fairly deep effect - a course of medium peels that act on living cells, and not on dead skin scales.
Exfoliating, like peeling an apple, removes a layer of damaged cells from the skin. Peeling, which gives a pronounced result, requires some sacrifices.
- Causes peeling.
- Provides for a recovery period. You may have to take a couple of 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 impact, but also on the selected peeling agent. As for deep peels, they are unpopular nowadays due to increased trauma, a 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 several procedures that are carried out in beauty salons or clinics.
Glycolic peeling
The most popular peeling, which is used for any problem. If you don’t like something about the condition of your skin, we sign up for a glycolic peel. Glycolic acid received this recognition well deservedly. It perfectly renews the skin and eliminates imperfections, making it smooth, radiant, and moisturized.
The most surprising thing is that glycolic acid indirectly stimulates the production of collagen, that is, it affects the skin framework, 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 large-plate 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 scabs, do not touch them and let the skin get rid of them on its own.
Peeling with trichloroacetic acid causes large-plate peeling. Patience will be rewarded - the skin will become radiant, smooth and tightened after the first procedure. Perhaps this will be the end of the matter. But for deep wrinkles (as well as post-acne), the medium peeling must be repeated.
Retinol (retinoic) peeling
In addition to its yellow color, it is famous for the fact that it does not damage the upper layer of the epidermis, but works on the basal layer, stimulating cell division. New cells rise to the top en masse, replacing the surface layers. Peeling does not always happen - it all depends on the specific composition of the peeling. But improvement in skin turgor and lifting are guaranteed.
Laser photothermolysis
This is fractional laser peeling, 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. It is not the chemical agent that damages the skin, but the laser. It is evenly "stitched" 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 made me move on. Peeling cannot be avoided, as well as redness and swelling (with sufficiently deep exposure). But the result is amazing!
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 instructions. Lotions, night creams and concentrates - there are enough options, and they give an excellent effect for home cosmetics. But we do not recommend pretending to be a cosmetologist and applying compositions that professionals work with on your face. Is it dangerous.
Without special skills, you can provoke contact dermatitis even with a minimal concentration of acids in the composition
