Blackheads are pores clogged with oil and dirt. The comedone shaft is hidden deeply, and only a point or tubercle is visible on the surface (if the comedone is closed). The color change occurs due to oxidation processes of the pore contents.

People with oily or combination skin often face this problem.

The prerequisites for the appearance of blackheads are:

• improper diet and diet - it has been noticed that problems are aggravated due to the consumption of fatty, dairy, carbohydrate products;
• inappropriate facial care - to ensure that sebum leaves the pores unhindered, it is necessary to carry out exfoliating procedures;
• neglect of hygiene rules - high-quality rinsing of cosmetics is a prerequisite for a clean, well-groomed face;
• use of comedogenic products for facial care - these are products containing talc, mineral oils, silicone;
• problems with the gastrointestinal tract - an increased volume of toxins is excreted through the skin, since the digestive tract cannot cope with this function - in this case, you should consult a gastroenterologist;
• alcohol abuse, smoking - metabolism deteriorates, as a result of which the pores become clogged;
• hormonal imbalance - in adolescence, hormone instability is caused by puberty; in adulthood, the impetus for the formation of blackheads is pregnancy or menopause.

Important! Salon facial cleansing can only remove acne and comedones that have appeared, but after a while, if the causes of their occurrence are not eliminated, they will form again.

When to see a cosmetologist

The decision to cleanse your face of blackheads from a cosmetologist is made individually. Self-cleansing often leads to exacerbation of acne due to poor sanitary conditions. And the lack of tools and lack of knowledge of the correct technique for removing comedones leads to the formation of scars and wounds. Knowing this, you should contact a cosmetologist immediately as soon as the appearance of your face is no longer satisfactory, and cleansers and masks do not give the desired effect.

Types of salon cleaning for blackheads

The salon procedure is aimed at eliminating external contaminants: the keratinized upper layer, acne, comedones, and stimulating blood circulation. If you are interested in which facial cleansing is the most effective, then it is difficult to give a definite answer to this question. Each type has indications and contraindications. The method of eliminating blackheads should be selected by a cosmetologist after analyzing the condition of the face. But if the client himself chooses which facial cleansing is best done in the salon, it is necessary to study the features of each type of procedure.

Mechanical

This technique is especially suitable if the skin is porous and oily.

Indications for the procedure:

• comedones (white and black);
• acne without inflammation.

Contraindications:

• herpes;
• eczema;
• boils;
• rosacea;
• hypertension;
• dry, sensitive skin;
• period of menstruation.

The necessary tools are a Uno spoon (contraindicated for sensitive skin) and a Vidal needle. All instruments must be sterile, which is why the procedure should be carried out by a cosmetologist. However, despite all precautions, there is a risk of secondary infection.

Disadvantage of mechanical cleansing: high pain.

Progress of the procedure. The procedure is carried out under good lighting. The master’s task is to ensure that the pores do not close, otherwise the procedure will begin to cause serious discomfort.

When the face has steamed, the cosmetologist removes the softened horny layers without affecting the inflamed areas, and then begins deep cleaning using a Vidal needle and an Uno spoon. Afterwards, the skin is disinfected with infrared light, a liquid with anti-inflammatory properties, such as hydrogen peroxide, and also applying masks with a calming effect. Cryomassage is recommended.

The duration of the procedure is about 20 minutes, after which the pores close on their own. Further cleaning becomes painful, so either a new steaming compress is made or the procedure is postponed to another session.

Mechanical cleansing is considered an outdated technique, but it allows you to thoroughly clean your face when hardware methods fail. It is used as a complement after other types of cleansing.

Vacuum

To carry out the procedure with a vacuum, you need a suction cup tool, which, under the influence of negative pressure, sucks in the contents of the pores. The appropriate attachment is selected according to the client's skin type. This procedure rarely injures the epidermis and does not cause pain or recurrence of inflammation. However, sensitive skin may experience bruising.

The indications are the same as for mechanical facial cleansing.

Contraindications:

• inflamed acne;
• rosacea;
• dermatitis;
• dry, sensitive skin.

The vacuum method of facial cleansing will not help with deep, old blackheads, so it is complemented by regular manual or mechanical cleansing.

Progress of the procedure. The suction cup moves around the surface of the face in a circle. From time to time, the instrument is sterilized in antiseptic. As a result of these actions, blood circulation improves, the skin becomes more toned, acquires a healthy color, and lymphatic drainage improves.

Note! Cleansing is carried out only after steaming.

After the procedure, the pores are closed by applying soothing agents.

Duration – 15-20 minutes.

Home vacuum devices are available. However, they are inferior to professional devices in terms of functionality and efficiency.

Laser

This is not exactly cleaning if you compare the technique with other options. However, thanks to laser treatment, regeneration processes are launched in the skin and its outer layers are renewed.

Indications for the procedure are:

• pimples with and without heads;
• comedones;
• acne;
• enlarged pores.

Contraindications include:

• exacerbation of acne;
• menstruation period;
• allergy to laser;
• herpes;
• diabetes;
• neoplasms.

This is a complex procedure. Its essence is that the laser “evaporates” the upper layers of the epidermis, as a result of which the outer layer of cells is then renewed. While some types of procedures can be carried out at home, laser cleaning at home is contraindicated. It must be performed by a specially trained cosmetologist.

Progress of the procedure. Before treatment, an anesthetic cream is applied. And then they begin to cauterize the skin with a laser with a working surface of 1.5x1.5 cm.

The duration is from 20 minutes to 1 hour. Laser cleaning should not be overused; it is carried out once a month, or even less often.

Galvanic

As the name suggests, a galvanic current is applied to the face during the cleansing process. The procedure is painless as a weak current is used. In rare cases, it is felt as a tolerable tingling sensation, and in some cases it is not felt at all.

This is a highly effective procedure that can get rid of deep, old stains, so it is recommended instead of manual cleaning as it is less traumatic. Thanks to electricity, sebaceous plugs dissolve and are brought to the surface, sebum turns into soap, which is removed by a cosmetologist after the procedure.

Indications:

• increased fat content;
• acne and comedones;
• post-acne;
• wrinkles;
• seborrhea.

Contraindications:

• dryness and sensitivity;
• pregnancy;
• vitiligo;
• neoplasms;
• dermatitis;
• presence of pacemakers and electrical implants.

Note! As a result of galvanic cleaning, impurities are removed, blood vessels are strengthened, tone is increased, blood flow and metabolism are stimulated.

Progress of the procedure. A conductive gel is applied to the face. Then the cosmetologist takes a device equipped with an attachment with electrodes. He moves this attachment over the surface of the face in a circular motion. If you use any cosmetic medicinal preparations together with galvanic cleaning, then under the influence of electric current they penetrate much deeper than usual.

After the procedure, the relief is evened out, so the effect is comparable to peeling. There is no need to close the pores, just remove dirt and apply your usual care products.

Duration of procedure: 20 min.

Depending on the frequency of galvanic cleaning, different effects may be observed. If you carry out the procedure no more than once a month, the skin will dry out, which is optimal for high oil content. But if the procedures are abused, sebum is produced more intensely.

How to prepare your face for cleansing

Modern salon facial cleansing requires careful step-by-step preparation before the procedure. Cosmetics must be washed off, the face is cleaned with special products, for example, gel, foam for washing, and wiped with lotion. If the pores are very clogged, then apply a mask. The face is steamed with a vaporizer or pore-expanding products are applied - warming creams, a paraffin mask.

Important! You cannot steam your face if you have rosacea, thin epidermis, or asthma.
