Types of facial peeling - chemical, superficial, at home and in the salon, price and reviews

Recovery from a peel is hardly a desirable experience. Sometimes you need to endure a couple of days to appear in an updated form in front of your colleagues or loved ones. However, having ventured on this procedure, we want the maximum effect: be it for the sake of rejuvenation, evening out complexion, or simply as a routine cleansing.

If after peeling there is no peeling, we begin to doubt whether everything is going as it should, whether we spent the money correctly. This is a fairly natural reaction. Let's try to figure out whether we should panic.

To begin with, we note: peeling after peeling is normal, and its intensity depends on many factors. Among them are how the cleaning is carried out, to what depth and with what composition.

The reasons why the skin has not begun to peel off may be the following:

Too little time has passed

Whatever the type of exfoliation, massive peeling of the epidermis begins only some time after the cosmetic intervention. As a rule, changes appear only after 2-3 days . If the procedure is superficial, then small skin flakes will peel off. And in the case of medium or deep exfoliation, large-plate exfoliation is observed: the skin “peeles off” in larger dry flaps, and rehabilitation lasts from 5 to 14 days. You can ask your doctor or cosmetic product distributor on what day after peeling the peeling begins as part of a specific course of care.

On what day after the chemical procedure does the process begin?

You need to understand that the skin will not immediately peel off after peeling. Chemical peeling is essentially a burn, as a result of which the upper layer of the epidermis dies, peels off and in its place new smooth and elastic skin is formed. A certain amount of time must pass before the peeling process begins, usually 2-3 days.

First, the face turns red, then the upper layer of the epidermis begins to crack and only after that the keratinized particles begin to separate, and the intensity of this separation may vary, depending on the following factors:

Depth of impact. If superficial peeling is performed, there will be no significant reaction - only slight peeling is possible. Medium peeling is accompanied by the detachment of medium-sized flaps of skin.
Deep peeling is carried out only in stationary conditions, and after it there is very strong peeling, which resembles molting.
In no case should you peel off peeling pieces yourself or use scrubs to remove them. This can lead to scars and other skin defects.
The solution that was used during the procedure. The more aggressive the product, the more severe the peeling will be.
Peeling frequency. If this is the first procedure in many years, and also if the woman has severe hyperkeratosis, peeling may not occur, since the skin in these cases needs more extensive intervention.

Recommendations for care if there is no peeling

wash your face after cleansing
the next morning. To do this, it is recommended to use thermal water or regular mineral water, without gas.
You should not be exposed to open sunlight for a long time, even in winter; before going outside, you should apply a protective cream with a high UV factor.
to do without makeup
for 3-4 days : this way the effect of the procedure will be more noticeable.
Within the time allotted for rehabilitation, it is recommended to avoid the use of further exfoliants
: such as, for example, tonics, exfoliating wipes, etc.
moisturizer
at night . Panthenol-based ointments work well.

Types by intensity of impact

According to the intensity of its effect on the skin, this process is divided into:

Surface

Before and after

This type is produced exclusively on the surface layer of the skin. The main characteristics of this procedure are its mild and short-term effect. Most often, it is prescribed for young skin to prevent the appearance of wrinkles or to get rid of mild problems.

The entire rehabilitation process after it is carried out quite quickly and almost painlessly.

It is carried out using fruit acid, for example:

dairy;
apple;
almond;

Median

Before and after

In it, beneficial substances penetrate much deeper into the layers of the epidermis. Restoration of the skin damaged in this way can take place from a week to a month.

In addition, various side effects may appear on the surface. After a course of treatment, the result lasts for a long period of time.

Deep

Before and after

It differs from all others in its intensity , and all procedures are necessarily carried out under local anesthesia. This procedure cannot be carried out in a salon; this should be done by specialists from a medical institution.

The event is useful for:

deep wrinkles;
severe scars;

The result can last for up to 2 years, however, the rehabilitation period after this event is six months.

Cosmetologist's opinion

Lucia Jordanova, cosmetologist at La Femme salon (Znojmo, Czech Republic)

“It all depends on your skin type. The fatter it is, the less it will peel off. Sometimes even a chemical exfoliant does not cause active desquamation. Therefore, if after cleansing the face does not peel off, it is too early to draw conclusions about the specialist’s negligence or lack of effect. However, in order to completely rely on your cosmetologist, you must initially choose the right salon. It is advisable that a certified dermatologist vouch for peeling compositions, because the quality of acids with a high 60% concentration is especially important. And at home, patients without special medical education are allowed to use only products with a maximum acidity of up to 25%.”

Have you had a similar experience?

Why doesn’t my face peel off and should this always happen?

So, from all of the above, it becomes clear that peeling after peeling is a normal phenomenon that leads to skin renewal. For what reasons does this not happen?

Not much time has passed

Massive peeling of the epidermis, regardless of the type of peeling, appears only after a couple of days.

In addition, the intensity of exfoliation depends on the concentration of the solution used, so it is best after the manipulation to ask a specialist on what day after the procedure you should expect peeling.

Even before peeling begins, a reaction to the procedure will still be observed. The skin will become tense, it will be unpleasant to touch, and folds will appear during facial expressions. Such phenomena indicate that the procedure was carried out correctly, and peeling will soon begin.

We recommend: 3 reasons why the skin peels off after peeling, and what to do in this case?

Incorrect concentration

It is possible that your cosmetologist does not have enough experience and prepared the composition in too weak a concentration. But it is quite possible that a gentle composition was specially prepared for a novice client; in this case, this cannot be considered a mistake, just next time the concentration of the solution needs to be increased.

Individual characteristics

There are patients whose skin is resistant to damage to the epidermis. In them, even after aggressive peeling, peeling may not be observed. Also, the skin can get used to the effects of acids - frequent use of tonics, creams and masks with acids. Naturally, in this case the skin reacts much calmer to full peeling.

Gentle procedure

Aesthetic medicine does not imply universal solutions. For each patient, recommendations on the composition of the drug are selected individually and are based on specific indications.

If this is your first time peeling, you will be given a gentle procedure, therefore, the reaction will not be as violent.

In addition, not all peelings involve pronounced peeling:

gas-liquid;
carbon;
vacuum;
as well as a number of new generation chemical peels.

In chemical peeling, the main thing is the percentage of acid

This factor is certainly key, but another thing to consider is the pH level. In Renophase reprogramming peeling, a glycolic acid complex of 70% is combined with pH 2.0; in a peeling with a lifting effect, a glycolic acid complex of 68% is combined with pH 1.9. Here, as Elena Kurova explained, it is important to understand that the lower the pH, the more aggressive the acid can act, however, if the pH is above 3, it is unlikely that it will be possible to renew the skin efficiently. It is important to find a balance where the acid will work without burning the skin. They found it in Renophase.

The Renophase peeling procedure takes about an hour. After cleansing, a hydrogel is applied to the skin, followed by a peeling complex with glycolic acid. Next - a soothing cream, and on top of it - a mask, depending on the individual wishes or needs of the client.

You have a special skin type

There is such a thing as “resistant epidermis”. People with this skin type are naturally resistant to damage. The face does not blush, and during the procedure of chemical cleansing and rejuvenation there are no uncomfortable sensations in the form of burning or tingling. These lucky ones are not prone to allergic manifestations.

In this case, it is very difficult to “exfoliate your face” with peeling. Unless it's deep. However, we cannot talk about the uselessness of cosmetic procedures. It’s just that the reaction to exposure by workers is somewhat different from the usual.

Most popular types

Thanks to the large number of reviews from women, it became clear which peelings are the most popular.

Based on the data, you can create a real top of the most popular procedures in salons:

Mechanical. Most often, it is carried out by spraying a special substance using a device. These particles easily remove the entire top layer and make the face smoother and more elastic. Thanks to this event, you can get rid of wrinkles, scars and acne marks.
The second most popular procedure is chemical . It is carried out using special chemicals that cause the required reaction of the epidermis. Ideal if you need to brighten your face and get rid of unwanted skin unevenness.
Ultrasonic. It is popular due to the fact that the result becomes noticeable after the first procedure. In addition, due to the fact that the injury is not severe, the skin is restored in a very short time. It is used through the use of a special device that emits ultrasonic rays.
Fruit acids. This process is characterized by speed and painlessness, and as a result the patient receives an even and beautiful complexion.
Enzymatic. It is recognized as the most gentle, but can only deal with simple skin problems.
Mesopeeling. A special 1% acid is used for it. This procedure can be carried out constantly, regardless of the time of year and skin condition. As a result, the patient will receive almost complete elimination of wrinkles and improvement of her skin. Another advantage of such an event is the absence of any redness or peeling.
Laser. Thanks to it, active collagen production occurs, which means wrinkles are completely smoothed out.
Surface. Most often, it is used by young girls to eliminate skin flaking and get rid of minor problems. With a course of use it will help get rid of shallow wrinkles.
Median. During it, active moisturizing and whitening of the skin occurs, scars and deep wrinkles are smoothed out. The procedure is quite painful and takes a long time, so experts recommend doing it on vacation.
Deep. A fairly popular, but very painful type of peeling, in which the patient will notice the effect of rejuvenation of her skin. This effect, with proper care, can be maintained for several years.

Phytohormones in peelings are dangerous for the skin

Skin aging, as well as a number of its problems, are caused primarily by hormonal imbalances in the body, hence the name “phytohormones”. Hearing this word, many do not even pay attention to the prefix “phyto”, immediately dismissing the possibility of the procedure. At the same time, the hormonal components used in Renophase peels have nothing in common. Phytohormones, or “molecules of youth” as they are called in France, are isolated from plants, such as soybeans and pomegranates. They act in a similar way to hormones - that is, they give epidermal cells a signal to rejuvenate, without in any way affecting the body’s own hormonal processes.

You can try Renophase chemical peels in Beauty Style chain salons. By the way, Woman.ru readers are given a 10% discount on the cost of the procedure. Don't forget to mention this when you sign up.

The time for peeling has not yet come

The skin after peeling does not begin to peel off “this very second and now.” A certain amount of time must pass before this process begins. As a rule – 2-3 days.

At first, the face becomes a darker shade, then the upper ball begins to crack slightly and the keratinized particles begin to separate with varying degrees of intensity. This depends on several factors:

depth of influence. Superficial peeling will not cause a particularly strong reaction and only slight peeling will be noticeable. The middle version of the impact involves the detachment of significant flaps of skin. The pieces look like dry, thin parchment. Under no circumstances should they be forcibly removed or scrubs used for these purposes. Deep peeling is a procedure performed only in a hospital setting and the rehabilitation period is characterized by very severe peeling, reminiscent of “molting”;
exfoliant used. We have already mentioned this factor. The more aggressive the agent, the more pronounced the process will be;
pronounced hyperkeratosis or the first procedure in many years. In this case, peeling will not happen, since your skin needs more extensive intervention to remove a sufficiently large number of dead scales that have accumulated over previous years or due to the individual characteristics of the epidermis.

Let us especially dwell on the fourth factor.

Skin care after glycolic peeling

As a rule, after the procedure, the facial skin peels off greatly. This reaction is quite natural for any type of peeling.

To minimize the side effect, it is recommended to use a softening tonic, soothing masks and nourishing hyaluronic cream.

It is not recommended to touch flaky skin with your hands, and do not try to get rid of it with scrubs. This can be fraught with severe redness, the formation of wounds, scars and even age spots.

Proper care allows flaky skin to go away on its own within 7-8 days, in some cases a little longer.

It is not recommended to use decorative cosmetics or visit a sauna or bathhouse for several days after the procedure.

Avoid visiting the solarium. During periods of solar activity, you should use sunscreen with SPF-30.

In winter, decorative cosmetics with sunscreen, foundation or powder are sufficient.

The result after the procedure will not take long to arrive. Significant skin rejuvenation is observed, fine wrinkles, unevenness, minor scars, and pigmentation disappear. The skin of the face becomes soft, clean, smooth.

The use of high-quality products and strict adherence to the recommendations of cosmetologists can restore beauty and youth to your face.

Other fruit peels have a similar effect: milk, almond, retinoic and others.

Girls, tell me. I have already done 2 peelings (with fruit acids) but there is no result at all. On some sites they write that the skin should peel, but mine is not even flaky, but normal, as always. A little red after peeling, but it goes away in literally half an hour. There are no better results at all (I have acne, but what’s even worse is that there are traces left after them) Tell me, can this be so or is it still not a high-quality cosmetologist’s work?

A friend did it. The first day the red face was like a burn, it peeled off within a week, everything went away completely and became normal after 2 weeks. So I don’t know if they did it wrong for you or if she did it too far.

how much time has passed?

According to the protocol, the concentration is increased gradually, after the first you should not peel off. Nothing really flakes off for me during the entire course, even after 70% acid. The skin will renew itself gradually, and not like after a sunburn. It climbs a lot after yellow peeling, and not for everyone.

The pharmacy makes me a special mask. Here the skin comes off in layers, without any burns or pimples. And after peeling from a cosmetologist, my skin didn’t peel off either, but pimples popped up in huge numbers. God bless the dermatologist, I contacted him on time and they drew up a plan for me with what and how to smear myself. Acne cured. If you want, I can do the peeling myself, a mask at night (so they said) and after 2 days all the skin begins to peel off, peeling off in about 5-7 days.

Maybe fruit acids are simply not suitable for you, they are very soft and oily, for example, they “don’t take well to the skin.” Try other medications. I apply retinoic ointment, it peels off, not too much, I go outside.

Selection criteria and price overview

Cleansing your skin of dead cells is always required, regardless of the age of the woman who decides to resort to such a procedure.
However, it is worth remembering certain rules in order to bring only benefit and no harm to your skin:

Girls under 25 years of age can limit themselves to only superficial activities, as well as all kinds of cosmetics.
Before the age of 35 , when various minor skin problems begin to appear, you can use chemicals to restore your skin to a fresh look.
At the age of 50, you already need to take more careful care of your emerging wrinkles. To do this, you need to use cosmetics of medium or deep depth. Only in this case the result will be noticeable.
After 50 years , it is possible to improve your skin only by using deep peels or laser resurfacing. Superficial and middle-of-the-road measures will no longer be able to help here. This process must be carried out not in small beauty salons, but in specialized medical institutions, under the supervision of a specialized doctor.

Here everything directly depends on the city in which the service is performed, in which clinic and how qualified the specialist is.

If we take approximate prices, we get:

Surface:
Neck and décolleté area – from 3 thousand.
Arms or shins - approximately 1.5 for 1 zone (that is, for 2 legs you will have to pay at least 3 thousand).
The remaining parts of the body are 1 zone approximately 3 thousand.
Ultrasonic will cost about a thousand rubles.
Microdermabrasion – from 2 thousand.
Surface chemical process - starting from 3.5 and ending with 6.

It is also worth noting the fact that most often, to obtain the desired result, the process must be carried out in courses of several sessions.

Lika: Effective peeling without redness or flaking on the face!

Greetings, dear readers!

It just so happened that my first product from the Sativa brand was the sensational new Active Enzyme Peeling No. 100.

Who knows when I would have become acquainted with the brand if it weren’t for my restless curiosity about an exclusive product in the eco segment.

This product is an alternative to traditional chemical peeling with AHA acids; it has the same properties, but does not cause irritation on the skin.

I was attracted to the following positions in peeling:

gentle effect
possibility to use it all year round
clean and smooth effect

The extent to which my expectations were met is described in detail below, but first, briefly about the main thing.

I won’t dwell on the packaging for long, everything can be seen from the photo: an elegant, beautiful cardboard box in which I would like to see at least several sachets, or one larger size.

In my humble opinion, it is somehow not advisable to use such a box for a bag weighing 5 grams.

Shelf life: 24 months.

The cost is about 300 rubles, but I managed to grab two packages for 500 rubles.

All necessary information is duplicated in three places at once: on the back of the package, on the back of the bag and in the instructions.

But the most detailed and clear description of the application can be found in the instructions.

Link to composition

The service did not recognize keratinase , the very active component of the peeling. This is an enzyme that is obtained biotechnologically from certain bacteria. Keratinase very gently, without traumatic consequences, exfoliates dead skin cells.

The contents of the sachet are white powder with black specks. Reminiscent of starch or flour, the smell is neutral.

When mixed with water, the mass turns into a creamy texture. It really is like custard, very pleasant and soft to the touch.

The substance glides onto the skin easily and naturally, like a glove. Nothing flows or floats anywhere.

Maybe I was just lucky enough to mix the powder and water perfectly? After all, in other reviews, girls complained that the mask was poorly distributed, but not for me, all 6 times it was perfect (although I’m still a handyman
