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.
Such a painstaking procedure is ideal for problematic and oily epidermis. In some difficult cases, it is the only way out. The procedure itself, although painful, is harmless and effective by the hands of a specialist. Mechanical cleaning is prescribed for adolescents from 16 years old and pregnant women.
Chemical
Dry cleaning is a worthy alternative to the manual method. It is less painful and more effective. This procedure can not only remove acne and comedones, but also relieve the face of scars and even out the skin texture. A profound effect on the epidermis occurs due to the applied acids:
- 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.
You need to prepare for this cleaning in a month, using cosmetic products with fruit acids daily. This will contribute to an even distribution of drugs during the session, because of which the effect will come faster and significantly improve the condition of the skin.
Vacuum
Vacuum cleaning is the most non-traumatic and painless cosmetic procedure for the face, in comparison with the others. Beauticians, as a rule, prescribe this method to owners of oily skin type. Vacuum cleaning helps:
- 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
Laser rays penetrate deep into the epidermis, thereby cleansing the pores and normalizing the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Facial skin receives proper nutrition and blood supply. The laser method acts like a peeling. After the procedure, the skin takes a fresh and healthy shade, since the age spots disappear, the pores narrow and the metabolic processes normalize.
One of the advantages of this method is that a device with a laser is used a few centimeters from the client’s skin, which eliminates the slightest chance of infection.
Laser cleaning is suitable for problematic, oily and porous skin. The surface of the face becomes smooth due to the alignment of the relief, smoothing of wrinkles and scars.
Ultrasound
Ultrasonic waves, acting on the skin, push out toxins, grease plugs and other types of pollution from it. This type of cleaning has a lot of the benefits:
- 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 beautician 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, because for deep exposure special enhanced cosmetics are required;
- 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 takes on a healthy appearance and begins to “breathe”.
