It's no secret that the skin is exposed to various factors daily contributing to its contamination. In addition to the natural processes produced by the body, the environmental impact is of considerable importance. Dust and dirt mix with fat, thereby clogging the pores. As a result, acne, black spots and other skin problems appear.
The essence of facial cleansing by a cosmetologist
Facial cleansing is the first step towards healthy and beautiful skin. In the epidermis there are channels, the main function of which is to moisturize the skin and produce sebaceous fat. The channels themselves have an exit - pores. At home, it is not possible to carry out a sufficiently deep cleansing, so every few months it is worth doing a professional facial cleansing at the beautician.
Cleaning is a complex of various procedures for cleaning the skin using manual or hardware techniques.
Spent in the cabin The procedure allows you to:
- Clear pores, removing rashes and irritations;
- Rid the epidermis of toxins and toxins;
- Peel off the dead layer;
- Improve blood circulation;
- Normalize respiratory, thermoregulatory and protective functions;
- Restore habitual metabolism;
- Return elasticity, elasticity and smoothness;
- Refresh complexion.
After professional cleaning, the epidermis is saturated with oxygen, there are sensations of cleanliness and freshness, which makes women return to the salon again.
There is an opinion that it is contraindicated for young people under 25 to visit cosmetic centers, as the ongoing procedures will only harm the epidermis. However, this is fundamentally erroneous opinion. It is possible and even necessary to visit a cosmetologist from adolescence.
The specialist will correctly determine the type of skin, advise which procedure is most suitable and how often it is worth visiting the salon, based on each individual case. He will also prescribe care products that are preferable to apply to your skin.

Preparation for the procedure
Before the session, the specialist must prepare the skin for the upcoming procedure. Thus, the effect comes much faster.
Pores need to be opened. For this, a professional, as a rule, uses a steam bath or warming creams. Paraffin masks and thermal compresses are also used, as another option for preparing the face for the selected procedure.
However, ultrasonic cleaning does not require the opening of pores, therefore, the epidermis is not prepared for the procedure, but immediately proceeds to the session.
Types of facial cleansing by a cosmetologist
Based on the type of epidermis and its condition, the cosmetologist prescribes a certain type of cleaning. Each method can only be carried out in a specially equipped beauty salon.
Face cleaning is carried out in the following ways:
- Mechanical;
- Chemical;
- Vacuum
- Laser
- Ultrasonic
- Plated.
The methods differ among themselves not only in the applied method, but also in the pain threshold and cost.
Mechanical
Mechanical face peeling is the most popular and popular method. The procedure has two more names: manual and manual. The principle of this method is that the cosmetologist manually cleanses the skin of dirt. From the outside it may seem that this is an ordinary squeezing of acne, with which everyone can independently cope at home. However, it is not.
There are a number of technical nuances in mechanical face cleaning:
- Cleaning is carried out from the side, so the master can better see the flaws;
- The face of the client is under bright light and a magnifying glass;
- The cosmetologist first applies a special mask, compresses or uses steam to expand the pores;
- After opening the pores, the skin is treated with an antiseptic, the doctor himself in disinfected gloves;
- Upon completion of the procedure, the specialist again disinfects the epidermis and applies a cream with a calming, anti-inflammatory and pore-tightening effect.
Sometimes, to achieve a quick result and prevent inflammatory processes, such physiological procedures as darsonval are used.
This method of cleaning the face is called mechanical, because in some cases, the cosmetologist uses a small cosmetic spoon to remove pus, if he sits deep in the pores.
Do not be alarmed if redness and peeling appear after the procedure, this is a natural reaction that will pass in a couple of days. Also, at this time it is better not to use decorative cosmetics, you should protect the skin from sunlight and forget about such powerful cleansers as scrub.
Chemical
- Fruit;
- Retinol;
- Salicylic.
Chemical cleaning of its kind is a peeling that causes a slight burn. A thin brown crust covers the face, which will pass after four days. However, this is necessary because in this way there is a disposal of keratinized epidermal cells and alignment of the relief.
After carrying out the chemical method of facial cleansing, try to go out as rarely as possible. Be sure to apply cream with an SPF of at least 30 and bleaching serum.
Vacuum
- Removing black dots and dirt;
- Improve blood circulation;
- Increase cellular metabolism;
- Leveling the skin;
- Getting rid of stagnant elements (capillary nets, traces of acne).
The procedure also allows you to clean inaccessible places - the wings of the nose and chin. Vacuum cleaning is carried out with a special nozzle, which draws out the contents of pores and sebaceous plugs under negative air pressure.
Laser
One of the advantages of this method - a device with a laser is used a few centimeters from the client’s skin, which eliminates the slightest chance of infection.
Ultrasound
- Cleansing deep and high quality;
- Does not need preliminary skin preparation;
- Vibration provides massage at the cellular level;
- The epidermis is not injured at all;
- The procedure is silent;
- There is no recovery period.
Immediately before the start of the procedure, the face is treated with gel, after which the cosmetologist begins cleaning with the help of a wave generator, which looks like a small spatula. The ultrasound method is indicated for owners of dry and sensitive epidermis.
Galvanic
Galvanic cleaning also has a second name - disincrustation. The procedure takes place under the influence of a weak DC voltage. However, the method is a salvation for problem skin with oily seborrhea, acne and other inflammations.
The device uses two electrodes: positive and negative. Together with a special tool, the charges have the same therapeutic effect that customers expect.
The cosmetologist's galvanic facial cleansing is done in four steps:
- Step 1. A cosmetologist, including a negative charge, softens fat and opens pores. As a result, the contents easily go outside;
- Step 2 Excesses are saponified with a special cosmetic product, the composition of which enters into chemical reactions. This allows you to disinfect the epidermis, remove residual contamination and exfoliate the stratum corneum of the epidermis;
- Step 3 The specialist, using cleaning products (wipes, tonic), washes off saponification products;
- Step 4. A positive charge closes the pores and restores the acid-base balance.
As a result of disincrustation, the skin acquires a healthy tone, blood circulation and metabolic processes are restored. Also, the current has a certain lifting effect, due to which the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized.
Stages of the procedure
Of course, each procedure has its own nuances and they are appointed by a specialist with a detailed examination of the skin. Regardless of the type of epidermis and the prescribed procedure, there is a certain sequence of actions.
Beautician face cleaning steps:
- Stage 1 The specialist conducts a professional make-up remover. Alas, it is impossible to get rid of cosmetics correctly before the procedure on your own, since special enhanced cosmetics are required for deep exposure;
- Stage 2.Next, an ordinary skin cleansing: washing with milk / foam / gel and toning;
- Stage 3.Beautician prepares the skin to the upcoming procedure, opening the pores with a chemical disinfectant. Simple steaming harms the vessels, so professionals use a modern tool;
- Stage 4. Carrying out the assigned method face cleansing;
- Stage 5.At the end of the procedure, the cosmetologist applies mask on a person irritated by external influences. The mask soothes the skin, heals small wounds that appear and closes the pores;
- Stage 6. After the mask, the skin is covered with a thin layer cream for face and eye area with SPF filters.
After the competent performance of all stages, the skin acquires a healthy appearance and begins "breathe".
Recovery after procedures
Any kind of cleansing is effective and aimed at improving the epidermis. The duration of the course is prescribed by the beautician himself, but after the first visit, clients feel much better.
However, such a deep cleansing often leads to redness and small "Side effects" excluding the ultrasound method. The recovery period is short, from three to five days, but at this time you should be careful.
First, find out what exactly can happen with skin after the procedure and as with this sort out:
- The face will certainly turn red, as it was exposed to aggressive influences for him. Redness passes independently in the cabin, and sometimes later, depending on the sensitivity of the epidermis;
- For signs of peeling, use moisturizing and nourishing creams and masks, and also use aloe vera gel;
- Sometimes burns occur, especially after a chemical procedure. In this case, gel with aloe and ointment with vitamin B, for example, Panthenol;
- Lubricate wounds and irritated areas with iodine. Also apply a clay mask based on mineral water;
- Sometimes acne occurs, from which the procedures are designed to rid the skin. If this happens, then use antiseptic agents;
- In extremely rare cases, red spots, bruises and bruises appear on the face. In such cases, it is worth contacting a specialist to change care products.
The skin after a cosmetic session is vulnerable, therefore, more than ever, it needs special, gentle care. In order to reduce the likelihood of the appearance of the above side effects, do not forget about some the rules:
- If possible, try not to go outside, as the skin is extremely sensitive to changes in temperature and solar radiation;
- Cancel your trip to the beach, pool, solarium, sauna or bathhouse. Contact with water and UV rays will adversely affect the state of the epidermis - they can cause irritation or cause the appearance of age spots;
- Minimize the use of makeup. In the first four days, you can not paint at all. You can not use cosmetics with a thick, heavy texture, like a powder or tonal foundation;
- The youth and freshness of the skin is due to the presence of moisture in it. Therefore, in the recovery period, it is worth abandoning any alcohol that retains water in the tissues and increases blood circulation;
- Do not touch your face with your hands, even if they are clean. There is a high probability of infection;
- Do not use scrubs for seven days. Even the softest scrub can injure delicate skin.

Hot water dries and clogs the epidermis, you can easily get a slight burn or irritation. Running water is full of chemicals that disinfect it, but are a strong pest for the face.It is best to use boiled water at room temperature for washing.
Follow the above tips and the rehabilitation period will be milder and faster.
