The device involves the use of a variety of attachments, each of which performs its own specific tasks:

• with villi - to eliminate dead cells;
• with stone - for polishing leather;
• with a roller - to give the surface smoothness;
• with pumice - to simultaneously perform all of the above functions.

As a rule, when using this method, only superficial cleansing of the face is carried out.

When choosing the most suitable attachment, the specialist must take into account the level of sensitivity and type of skin.

Disadvantages and contraindications

All cosmetic procedures have certain contraindications that cannot be ignored. When throwing such restrictions are:

• inflammatory processes, the appearance of small rashes, irritations;
• high degree of sensitivity;
• wounds, scratches, any trauma to the surface of the epidermis;
• manifestation of the vascular network, thin vessels;
• the presence of an active stage of herpes, acne, various eczemas, demadecosis.

The best visual effect is visible on thick, porous skin, which can easily withstand various peelings using a machine and manually. Brossage is completely contraindicated for people with thin, delicate dermis prone to irritation. It is used with caution during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you want to use this method, you should first see a cosmetologist to assess the condition and type of your skin.

Sometimes facial brushing is offered in salons as a preparatory stage before more serious manual massage, vacuum cleaning, and various deep masks.

Like any cosmetic procedure, brushing has its certain limitations. So, it should not be prescribed for hypersensitive or too dry skin.

Contraindications are rosacea, inflammatory processes at the treatment site, dermatological diseases in the acute stage, decreased immune system, infections of viral origin, high body temperatures.

In addition, such peeling is contraindicated during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Peeling or brosage? - Summarize

The goal of both procedures is the same - to deeply cleanse the skin. For brossage, soft exfoliating compounds are used, which, unlike acid peels, do not injure the skin. The effectiveness of brushing is due to the use of brushes - they effectively remove dirt from the pores and at the same time lightly polish the skin, making it even and smooth.

Progress

The entire procedure is carried out in several successive stages.

First

The cosmetologist thoroughly cleanses the face of remnants of decorative cosmetics, dirt, dust and other contaminants. This is necessary in order to obtain the most effective final result, since the procedure will not work on an uncleaned surface. In addition, it can be harmful to the skin.

Second

At this stage of work, the epidermis is steamed. For this purpose, special compresses or steam baths with essential oils can be used. Next, the surface is treated with a cleansing gel or scrub.

Third

The specialist removes excess moisture with a clean napkin. Cotton pads are applied to the eye area. A scrubbing agent and emulsion are applied to the surface of the skin. This moment is of the greatest importance, as it allows you to achieve the maximum effect of peeling.

Fourth

This is the main stage of all cosmetic manipulation. The dermis is cleaned with a special device using gentle movements. The nozzle is selected based on the type and sensitivity of the skin.

Fifth

Finally, the remaining emulsion is removed from the surface of the skin and a nourishing and pigment-constricting agent is applied.

Additionally, to improve the texture of the epidermis, in some cases, specialists use a pumice attachment. To do this, a gel with moisturizing properties is applied to the skin.

Polishing occurs by moving the nozzle in the direction of the massage lines and lymph flow. To maximize the effect, it is recommended to increase the rotation speed of the nozzle.

What is brossage?

Brossage is one of the types of hardware mechanical cleansing of the skin surface, which is carried out using special devices and attachments. As a rule, the equipment includes brushes made of natural bristles of various diameters and hardness, pumice stones, sponges and others. The choice of attachment depends on the skin type, as well as the severity of the problem and the thickness of the epidermis. The rotation speed and direction are also selected based on the characteristics of the skin - the depth of cleansing depends on this.

During the brosage process, dead skin cells are exfoliated from the surface of the skin and comedones are removed, due to which the skin acquires an even tone and texture, beautiful color and a healthy glow. Also during the brossage process, a light massage occurs, which provides anti-aging care. The procedure itself does not cause any discomfort. To achieve a visible result, it is recommended to carry out brossage in courses of 10-12 procedures. The frequency of sessions depends on skin type. For example, oily and normal skin types can be cleansed twice a week, and sensitive and dry skin types can be cleansed once every two weeks.

After facial surgery, significant improvements are noticeable:

• Pores are cleared of blackheads and sebaceous plugs;
• Lightens pigmentation and freckles;
• Blood circulation increases, due to which nutrients begin to actively enter the cells;
• Metabolism improves;
• Regeneration processes are accelerated;
• The tone of the skin increases;
• Expression wrinkles are smoothed out;
• Natural skin hydration occurs;
• Pores become narrower;
• The functioning of the sebaceous glands is normalized.

Brossage can be carried out both at home and in a beauty salon, following a certain sequence of actions and following all recommendations.

Skin care after

Professional brossage does not require special care after the procedure. Cosmetologists allow you to immediately use masks, creams, tonics and decorative cosmetics. There are no restrictions on exposure to direct sunlight.

However, to maintain the effect obtained as long as possible, you need to adhere to some rules. First of all, it is better to avoid going to the sauna, bathhouse and swimming pool for a week. When going outside, it is advisable to apply sunscreen to your face.

For daily moisturizing, it is advisable to use special serums.

Facial brossage: reviews

Anastasia Aleksandrovna Abaimova, 20 years old (Kazan). I had my face cleaned with brushes at the salon. A very pleasant procedure: both peeling and massage. The face after it is radiant and smooth. I recommend to all! Anna Artemovna Shaburova, 30 years old (Stavropol). I bought myself an electric brusher a long time ago – it’s a useful thing in everyday life. You can not only cleanse your face with it, but also massage your body. It's inexpensive and easy to operate. Cool device!

Daria Ivanovna Pavlenok, 25 years old (Ekaterinburg). Brossage is an almost useless procedure for people like me: it doesn’t smooth out wrinkles and doesn’t remove deep blackheads. Why waste money?

Elizaveta Dmitrievna Radkevich, 19 years old (Vladimir). I ordered a special brush for cleansing my face from Avon - now I’ll save on the brush. I had it done at the salon a couple of times before. Although it’s an inexpensive procedure, if you go once a week it’s affordable.

Maria Maksimovna Lavrentieva, 28 years old (Nizhny Novgorod). The main advantages of brushing, in my opinion, are cheapness and simplicity. I always go to the salon for this procedure before any celebration. The only pity is that the effect lasts only 4 days.

Polina Mikhailovna Tsapurina, 35 years old (Kostroma). I came to the following conclusion for myself: if the facial skin is well-groomed, peeling with brushes is something like prevention; If the case is advanced (like mine), brossage will not save you from age spots and wrinkles.

Superficial skin peeling

To improve the condition of the skin, remove minor imperfections and smooth out acne marks, you can polish it with a pumice attachment. Apply moisturizing gel to your skin. Polishing should be done in the direction of lymph flow and along certain massage lines. The entire procedure will take from five to fifteen minutes.

To achieve the best effect and a softer effect on the skin, simply increase the speed at which the nozzles rotate. After the procedure, you need to remove the remnants of the cosmetic gel, apply a nourishing cream, moisturizing mask, tonic, or use a product that will tighten the pores on a clean face.

Brossage is performed in eight to ten procedures per course. There should be at least a three month break between courses. If you have oily skin, then you need to do one or two treatments per week.
