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 antiaging peeling?
Honestly speaking, every peeling is rejuvenating, because this process forces the skin to replace old cells with new ones. Naturally, the young and fresh look better than the 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.
Deep impact varieties
Aging skin, characterized by wrinkles and age spots, which has lost its elasticity and tone, needs a fairly deep result - a course of medium peelings that act on living cells and not on dead skin scales.
Exfoliation, like peeling an apple, removes a layer of damaged cells from the skin. Peeling, which gives an intense effect, requires some sacrifices.
- It causes peeling.
- It provides a recovery period. You may need to take a few days off work.
- For care after peeling, 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 exfoliating agent. As for deep peels, they are not popular these days due to increased trauma, a large number of side effects and risks. They are being successfully replaced by more subtle techniques.
Choosing a technique for an antiaging procedure
Modern cosmetology offers various operations carried out in beauty institutes or clinics.
Glycolic peeling
The most popular peeling, which is used for any problem. If you don't like something about your skin condition, sign up for a glycolic peel. Glycolic acid received this recognition deservedly. It perfectly renews the skin and eliminates imperfections, making it smooth, shiny and hydrated.
The most surprising thing is that glycolic acid indirectly stimulates the production of collagen, that is, it affects the framework of the skin, restoring its elasticity and density. That's why glycolic peels are called "remodeling. "
Peeling with trichloroacetic acid
Classic medium peeling. Trichloroacetic acid is considered the best for deep skin penetration. 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, it's not the most pleasant time to endure. The main thing is not to tear the crusts, not to touch them and let the skin get rid of them on its own.
Peeling with trichloroacetic acid causes peeling of large plaques. Patience will be rewarded - the skin will become shiny, smooth and tightened after the first procedure. Maybe that's the end of it. But for deep wrinkles (as well as after 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 destroy the upper layer of the epidermis, but acts 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 the improvement of skin scanning and lifting are guaranteed.
Laser photothermolysis
This is fractional laser peeling, which once revolutionized material cosmetology. The result 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 uniformly "stitched" with thousands of laser microneedles at a strictly defined depth.
Due to the fact that living, untouched tissue remains between the damaged areas, the skin is restored quite quickly, without undesirable consequences.
Laser photothermolysis successfully replaced traumatic laser resurfacing and acid peels got me going. Peeling cannot be avoided, as well as redness and swelling (with deep enough exposure). But the result is amazing!
Is it possible to do anti-aging peeling at home?
The variety of cosmetic brands includes formulas containing acids: fruit, salicylate and retinol. Use as directed. Lotions, night creams and concentrates - there are several options and they give an excellent result for home cosmetics. But we do not recommend pretending to be a cosmetologist and applying to your face compositions that professionals work with. It is dangerous.
Without special skills, you can cause contact dermatitis even with a minimal concentration of acids in the composition
