Myth:
Peeling is a traumatic procedure. It damages the top layer of the epidermis and leaves redness for a long time.
Is it true:
Peeling – translated means “peeling”, “removing the peel”. And in fact, the service is destructive. But during the procedure, the process of removing excess skin is controlled by a specialist and the safe operation of devices. Only dead facial cells are destroyed to make room for new ones. And the fact that the skin turns red is absolutely normal. After all, the registration process of the upper tissues starts, blood circulation in damaged areas increases. So don't be confused about your beautiful appearance after peeling. The “Oh my God!” effect hold for 30 minutes to 12 hours. And after that the skin will become smooth and clean.
The history of facial peelings
Facial peeling (exfoliation) is a cosmetic procedure aimed at exfoliating (removing) the upper keratinized layer of the epithelium. Translated from English, this term means “removing the husk,” which most accurately reflects the essence of the method. By cleansing the skin of dead cells, the effect of renewal and rejuvenation is achieved, the complexion improves, and mechanisms of accelerated cell regeneration are launched.
The history of facial skin resurfacing goes back a long way. This is the oldest known cosmetic technique. It was first used in Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Exfoliating mixtures in those days included crushed minerals and pieces of fruit seeds. The prototype of modern chemical peelings of the facial skin were compositions based on fruit and lactic acids, which beauties of ancient times treated their skin with. In the Middle Ages, more complex technologies and recipes using wine and grape juice appeared. Tartaric acid played the role of an active component that dissolves dead cells. But if used inappropriately, such products could cause a chemical burn to the skin of the face. Even then, researchers realized that after treatment with acidic compounds the skin should not be exposed to sunlight.
The latest research has discovered new properties of acids and their combinations for safe and effective facial peeling procedures. The modern beauty industry offers an extensive arsenal of products. Some of them effectively exfoliate dead cells mechanically (scrubs). Others improve the appearance of the skin using chemical peels. Still others start the regeneration process, additionally rejuvenate and saturate the skin with nutritional components. Many types of peelings for the face and body perform not only a cleansing, but also a healing function. They help get rid of comedones (blackheads), acne, age spots and other dermatological problems.
Post-peeling care
In the before and after photos you can see that superficial chemical peeling causes severe peeling on the skin. To eliminate them, you need to provide it with constant moisture. For this purpose, intensive creams and masks are selected. The use of scrubs is prohibited during the entire rehabilitation period. You also need to limit your time spent outside.
For the renewed layer of the epidermis, not only the sun's rays are harmful, but also wind, dust and other irritating factors. They can cause infection.

Care Tips:
- Use moisturizer regularly;
- For the first 3 days, do not apply foundation or powder to your face;
- Cleanse the skin exclusively with mild lotions. The best choice is micellar water;
- When going outside, you need to provide a level of protection from UV rays (depending on the time of year).
Professional peelings: mechanism of action
The skin of the face is thin and delicate. It is most susceptible to the influence of adverse weather factors and ecology, which trigger age-related changes. Therefore, it is so important to provide proper care and prevent early withering and aging processes. The use of nourishing and moisturizing masks and creams benefits the skin, but it cannot trigger active cell renewal and regeneration. This effect is achieved by a more radical procedure – exfoliation (peeling) of the dermis.
The essence of the method is to remove the top, keratinized cells and cleanse the facial skin. During the cleaning process, intensive exfoliation of the stratum corneum occurs, which stimulates deeper cells to actively regenerate. Their accelerated division helps to heal and rejuvenate the epidermis, even out the tone, and eliminate minor defects. Young skin, freed from dead cells, intensively absorbs and absorbs nutrients, moisture and oxygen.
As a result, the cell renewal mechanism is launched, metabolic processes are activated, and the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibers is improved. This is necessary to maintain facial skin turgor and slow down the aging process.
How often can you do carbon peeling?
- The course usually consists of 5-10 procedures in order to obtain a pronounced result in evening out the texture and tone of the skin.
- For acne therapy, intervals are 7-10 days
- To eliminate hyperkeratosis, intervals are 10-14 days
- To maintain clear skin, intervals of 14-28 days
From here it is not difficult to calculate how much you can actually earn from the procedure.
Peeling procedure: what problems does it solve?
Exfoliation of the skin helps solve many problems:
- cleansing the facial skin of dead cells, impurities, sebaceous plugs;
- improve the penetration of creamy textures that saturate epithelial cells with nutrients and oxygen;
- moisturize and refresh the upper layer of the epidermis;
- improve complexion, even out skin tone and texture;
- prevent the formation of new wrinkles;
- restore lymphatic drainage, eliminate swelling;
- activate the production of collagen fibers;
- prevent the development of inflammatory processes on the skin;
- slow down age-related changes;
- eliminate skin defects (pimples, comedones), lighten age spots;
- activate cell renewal, accelerate the processes of regeneration and restoration of the skin.
A properly performed cosmetic procedure rejuvenates the skin, making it firmer, tighter and healthier. The positive effect is achieved by exfoliating the top layer of keratinized cells, which create an obstacle to the timely regeneration and renewal of the skin.
Home peeling recipes
Each type of peeling, except physical, can be done at home. The main thing is to follow the instructions and properly care for your skin during the recovery period.
There are many recipes, both ancient ones that girls used in ancient Egypt and modern ones.
Skin preparation
Before the procedure, you should thoroughly clean and degrease your face using alcohol lotion. Next, steam your face over a steam bath, carefully so as not to leave burns. To do this, you can brew herbal infusions in boiling water and hold your face over the steam.
Preparation of surface peeling
Scrub
For a mechanical peeling method, you can make a coffee-based scrub. You need to take one teaspoon each of finely ground coffee and sour cream or yogurt. Mix the composition and apply to the skin along massage lines, gently massage the skin for 2 minutes and leave the mixture for about 10 minutes. After time, rinse with warm water and apply moisturizer or make a mask.
Homemade scrub
Acid superficial peeling
The chemical type of superficial peeling is more difficult to do. It is necessary to strictly monitor the exposure time of the composition so as not to leave burns.
To perform it at home, you can buy pharmacy or store-bought acids (fortunately, there is now a range to suit every taste and budget) or use acid from fruits and berries.
One of the easiest recipes is made using ordinary berries. To do this, you need to take red currants and grapes in a proportion of two parts to one, respectively. Squeeze the juice and wipe your face with it, adding new layers as it is absorbed.
Make the mask for 10 minutes. Next, rinse with warm water and apply a moisturizing mask and sunscreen.
Biopeeling
Biological peeling is based on the physiological mechanisms of the body. To implement it, you will need a bodyagu, which can be bought at any pharmacy.
Slowly stir in hydrogen peroxide to 2-3 teaspoons of bodyaga until it reaches the consistency of sour cream. Apply to cleansed skin with a brush and leave for 15 minutes, then remove the mask with twisting movements and apply moisturizer and sunscreen.
Impact zones
Peels are recommended for treating the following areas:
- Face – exfoliation is used to correct age-related changes and improve the appearance of the skin.
- Body – in combination with other procedures, body peeling helps get rid of cellulite, stretch marks, and improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
- Hair – the procedure is used to cleanse the scalp of dandruff, manifestations of seborrhea and dermatitis. In combination with massage and nourishing masks, it improves cell nutrition, blood circulation and metabolic processes, and stimulates hair growth.
The procedures must be performed by a professional cosmetologist who will correctly assess the condition, skin type, individual characteristics of the patient, and possible contraindications.
WORD TO THE SPECIALIST
Irina Kishko, cosmetologist, dermatovenerologist (tel.: 61–67–59, 75–89–18):
The skin actually has a renewal cycle of 28 days - a lunar month. The trouble is that this wonderful mechanism of self-cleansing and renewal works without failures only until about 12 years of age, but already with the onset of puberty it is disrupted due to excess sebum. The skin begins to need our help.
Peeling can be a regular, basic procedure both in home care and in cosmetology. In home care you can use scrubs, gommages, and weak acid peels. And the cosmetologist, in turn, will help you choose the product, frequency of use, and tell you some nuances. With regular cosmetic care, a cosmetologist must use professional peeling methods once every four weeks. For example, ultrasound – when dead cells are “knocked out” by an ultrasound wave. Or mechanical peeling, which can be performed with aluminum crystals or a special diamond attachment. Moreover, the doctor is able to control the depth of this peeling and, if necessary, bring it to the middle. And 1–2 times a year, cosmetologists perform a series of chemical peels or laser resurfacing. These are procedures that have a multi-effect, and the exfoliation process is not the most significant here. These procedures have a rejuvenating effect, have an antioxidant effect, streamline the process of skin cell division, resulting in a significant reduction in pigmentation and inflammation.
Patients may experience minor discomfort during superficial chemical peels, but proper home care will keep this to a minimum. And the result will be wonderful and will last throughout the year! This is why peeling has been the most popular cosmetic procedure in the world for many years. Technically, the peeling procedure is very simple, but the quality of the result directly depends on the quality of the preparations used by the cosmetologist, his knowledge of the mechanism of action of acids, and understanding of the characteristics of the skin. And, of course, from the discipline of the patient himself. The question of the seasonality of peelings still remains open. There are peels that can be done all year round, for example, all-season peels for acne treatment or rejuvenation. Personally, in my practice, only in the autumn-winter period I do medium peelings and treat pigmentation. Also, during the period of inactive sun, true laser peeling is done. This is a rather painful process that results in the formation of a crust and requires rehabilitation.
For those who are afraid of pain and do not want to walk around with flaky skin, I would recommend a comfortable, safe and painless laser revitalization procedure. The patient receives radiant skin without peeling and pain after the first session. This procedure can be done once every one to two months.
Classification of facial peels
All procedures with a cleansing effect in cosmetology are divided into two categories - according to the degree of depth and type of effect.
The depth of penetration depends on the thickness of the stratum corneum and the general condition of the skin. Taking this parameter into account, facial peeling can be:
- superficial;
- average;
- deep.
Based on the type of impact, facial skin peels are:
- mechanical;
- chemical;
- hardware.
Each of these options has its pros and cons, application features, indications and contraindications. Let's take a closer look at the different options for the popular procedure.
Let's consider the universal ad structure for a beauty salon for all occasions
Well-known truths will be listed here, but you shouldn’t forget about them.
Heading . A “decapitated” advertisement for a cosmetologist’s services looks completely unattractive. The title should not be too long. This is an important business tool. He must have hooks on which clients peck like fish. Without a good headline, the likelihood of a catch catastrophically approaches zero. The client should notice it with one half-closed eye. The main task of the headline is to read the first sentence of the text.
For example, how to title the text of an advertisement for a makeup artist’s services.
Bad example : “I provide high-quality professional services for creating beautiful and unusual makeup in the Frunzensky district of St. Petersburg,” the title should not be cumbersome
A good example for a makeup artist : “For beauty, come to our salon: creative makeup two steps from your home!”
Bad example : Skin care treatments based on skin type.
A good example for a cosmetologist : Facial peeling - tighten the oval and rejuvenate the skin.
Introduction . The introduction should not be overly lengthy. The text itself of an advertisement for a hairdresser, beauty salon or home specialist should not be too long, so in the introduction the main thing is not to add unnecessary information. Information about the “professionalism”, “quality”, “low prices” of a cosmetologist should be omitted, since, firstly, “professionalism” and “quality” should be implied by themselves, and secondly, such phrases sound like tired clichés. People need specifics about what their benefits are, what they will get, and not some trivial and long phrase. Information about discounts is intriguing and attracts attention, but “low prices” is too vague a concept.
Bad example : “A new beauty salon “Izyuminka” has recently opened, in this regard, we will be glad to see you among our clients, we provide numerous cosmetology services by experienced and professional masters at relatively low prices and favorable price offers for the first 20 visitors.” . [This introduction is too “overloaded.”]
A good example : “In honor of the opening, the beauty salon “Izyuminka” is giving discounts to the first 20 clients!”
Offer . The offer is the core of the advertising text, what should attract customers. The offer usually contains the most profitable and catchy offer, the very essence. For example, in the introduction we said that the salon was holding a certain promotion and discounts were being provided in honor of the opening. In this way, we have intrigued the potential client, she will want to look further at the advertisement about breast mammoplasty. That is why it is important to write a competent sentence for the offer, so that his attention does not switch to something else, but is entirely focused on the text of the advertisement.
Types of peelings in cosmetology
Superficial facial peeling
This is the most comfortable and gentle option for cleansing the skin of the face and body, since the active substances do not penetrate deeply, providing only exfoliation of the top layer of skin.
To cleanse the skin mechanically, a variety of natural compositions with small solid particles that act as an abrasive are used. These are ground coffee beans, fruit seeds, crushed corals, rice grains, etc. A well-proven option is mechanical superficial facial peeling using brushes (brossage). Of the hardware methods for carrying out superficial cleansing of facial skin, the cavitation (ultrasonic) peeling method is best suited.
For superficial chemical peels of the face, preparations with fruit acids or compositions based on alpha hydroxy acids are used. They gently exfoliate cells without causing burns or irritation. A wide variety of acid compositions makes it possible to choose the best option for cleansing your facial skin. For procedures, malic, citric, lactic, tartaric, and mandelic acid are most often used.
Compositions based on retinoic, salicylic, and glycolic acid are popular. Intensive cell renewal, improved blood circulation and metabolic processes are promoted by superficial peelings of the facial skin with ascorbic or azelaic acid.
A low concentration of exfoliating solutions does not cause complications, pain and does not require rehabilitation time.
Indications
A gentle superficial peeling procedure is ideal for young skin. It refreshes the complexion well, brightens pigmented areas, dissolves sebaceous plugs in pores, eliminates inflammatory processes that provoke the appearance of acne. In addition, this method allows the active substances of other cosmetics to quickly penetrate the structure of the epidermis. Other indications include deterioration of complexion, post-acne, fine wrinkles, and a slight decrease in skin turgor. The superficial facial peeling procedure is ideal for young skin (up to 30 years).
Medium skin peeling
This type of exposure is based on the use of aggressive acidic compounds that penetrate the middle layers of the dermis. As active substances, preparations based on acids of higher concentration (trichloroacetic, salicylic, glycolic) are used.
Median exfoliation can also be performed mechanically. This procedure is called diamond peeling of the facial skin and is performed using special equipment equipped with diamond-coated brushes.
The midfacial peeling procedure is quite painful. After it, proper skin care is necessary during the process of rehabilitation and recovery. In one course you can do from 2 to 5 procedures, taking into account the skin type and the existing problem. Repeated cleansing sessions are allowed no earlier than six months later. There are also age restrictions. This type of exposure is not recommended for girls under 30 years of age.
Indications for medium facial peeling:
- increased keratinization of the epidermis (hyperkeratosis);
- loss of elasticity, appearance of deep wrinkles, sagging skin and other age-related changes;
- skin defects - acne, scars at the site of removed pimples (post-acne), age spots;
- manifestations of rosacea (red vascular network).
By acting at a certain depth, medium facial peeling can smooth out wrinkles, refresh the face, improve collagen production, narrow enlarged pores and even get rid of scars and flat warts.
Deep peeling of face and body
The active ingredients of chemical peels penetrate deep into the reticular layer of the dermis. For the chemical procedure of deep facial peeling, strong, aggressive acids of high concentration are used (trichloroacetic, phenolic). They also use mechanical dermabrasion or laser resurfacing.
This is the most painful and traumatic type of deep peeling of the face and body, which requires a cosmetologist to have a lot of experience, high qualifications and special care when carrying out the procedure. The deeper the effect on the dermis, the longer the period of rehabilitation and healing of the skin. Any mistake can lead to skin damage and complications. However, it is this type of deep peeling that gives the best aesthetic result and a pronounced rejuvenation effect.
Indications for deep peeling for face and body skin:
- removal of deep expression wrinkles;
- smoothing skin texture;
- elimination of rough scars and cicatrices;
- smoothing stretch marks;
- lightening of areas of hyperpigmentation.
The result of a deep facial peeling procedure is comparable to non-surgical cosmetic facelift techniques. The effect of lifting, rejuvenating and cleansing the skin lasts for a long time. But the rehabilitation period is also long – it will take at least 8 weeks for the skin to completely heal. When performing phenol facial peeling, restoration of the skin takes from 8 to 12 months. All this time, the skin needs to be taken care of, protected from ultraviolet radiation, and treated with wound-healing and antibacterial agents that prevent infection of the wound surface.
Contraindications
General contraindications that limit the possibility of using any type of facial peeling include:
- damage to the skin in the treatment area (scratches, abrasions, wounds);
- exacerbation of any dermatological diseases;
- the presence of inflammatory processes on the skin;
- acute stage of infectious or colds with hyperthermia (high temperature);
- individual intolerance to peeling compositions;
- herpetic infection,
- demodicosis (skin mite);
- mental disorders;
- oncological diseases;
- pregnancy, breastfeeding period.
Deep facial peeling with phenolic acid is a procedure that requires special care and attentive attention to the patient’s health. Phenol or carbolic acid is a highly toxic substance. A procedure using this component cannot be prescribed for pathologies of the liver and kidneys, diseases of the heart and blood vessels. In addition, any type of deep peeling of the facial skin (regardless of the method of execution) is prohibited if there are problems with the hematopoietic system and bleeding disorders.
Indications and contraindications
Despite the fact that there are no age restrictions for peeling, experts advise that this procedure should be carried out no earlier than 18 years . At the same time, it is recommended to carry out cleaning not just for the sake of prevention, but only in accordance with certain indications, among which are most often:
- decreased tissue tone;
- the appearance of acne;
- pronounced age-related changes;
- stretch marks on the body.
Important! In addition, a positive effect is also observed in overweight patients - they also need to take care of the condition of their skin.
Although peeling is a fairly safe method of cleansing, it has contraindications. Therefore, you should refrain from the mentioned cosmetic procedure if you experience :
- tendency to allergies;
- herpes, mycosis and warts on the face;
- advanced stage of acne;
- taking a course of medications;
- inflammatory diseases;
- open wounds on the body;
- heat;
- cardiovascular pathologies;
- oncological diseases;
- individual intolerance to components.
At the same time, it is better to avoid peeling during pregnancy, while breastfeeding or during menstruation. This is not a strict limitation, but when making a decision you should rely on your own well-being and weigh all the risks. To be sure whether it is worth doing peeling for specific indications, you need to consult with an experienced cosmetologist.
Only a professional will be able to tell you in detail what contraindications each procedure option has and recommend a universal cleaning method.
Methodology
Let's consider the technique of performing the most popular and sought-after procedures:
Mechanical peelings for facial skin
- Coral. The basis of the cleansing compositions are the smallest particles of coral, Dead Sea salts, essential oils, and exotic herbs. Before applying the drug, the facial skin is thoroughly cleansed of dirt and makeup residues. The powder base is diluted with water to the required consistency and applied to the skin with light massage movements. The procedure is quite comfortable, but for those with delicate skin it may cause mild pain. This type of mechanical peeling for the face helps eliminate enlarged pores, acne, and lighten areas of pigmentation. After the procedure is completed, the remnants of the drug are washed off with cool water, and a soothing mask is applied to the facial skin.
- Diamond. It is performed with special diamond-coated nozzles. This spray acts as an abrasive that effectively exfoliates the top layer of facial skin. The mechanical peeling procedure is useful for the appearance of wrinkles and decreased skin turgor. Helps fight age-related changes, correct the functioning of the sebaceous glands, cleanse the skin and clogged pores.
- Brossage. This is a completely safe and low-traumatic type of mechanical superficial facial peeling, during which special rotating brushes provide cleansing of the skin. The skin of the face should first be cleansed and steamed over a container of hot water to open the pores as much as possible. Then a scrub with small hard particles is applied to the face and treated in a circular motion with a special attachment with soft brushes. At the final stage, it is recommended to apply a moisturizing gel and polish the skin along the massage lines with a pumice pad. At the end of the procedure, a mask with a soothing effect is applied to the face.
- Dermabrasion. This is the most traumatic option for mechanical peeling for the face. But it provides the best result and allows you to solve serious cosmetic problems (remove scars and scars on the face and body). The session takes place using local anesthesia. After preliminary cleansing of the skin, the cosmetologist applies markings to the face or body and selects the necessary attachment. The treatment area is frozen with a cooling spray so that dead scales peel off more easily, and then passed through with a rotating nozzle. At the end of the session, the treated area is covered with a sterile bandage. The duration of the procedure is 15-20 minutes.
Chemical facial peels against wrinkles
- Enzymatic. One of the most gentle chemical superficial facial peels. The active substances are special enzymes that are applied to previously cleansed skin for 20 minutes. Procedures using enzymes or safe lactic acid can be done independently at home. Enzyme superficial peeling improves complexion, tones, refreshes, ideal for young skin.
- Fruit. Chemical facial peeling based on fruit acids (tartaric, malic, citric, etc.) works on the surface or in the middle layers of the skin. The application technique is similar - clean facial skin is treated with special compounds, left for a certain time, then the acid is neutralized with an alkaline solution, washed off and soothing agents are applied. The exposure time is determined by the cosmetologist. The duration of the procedure depends on the type of drug used, the condition and type of skin.
- Salicylic. This type of chemical peeling is often used for therapeutic purposes. Helps fight acne, normalizes the functions of the sebaceous glands, dries and disinfects the skin, and narrows enlarged pores. The duration of exposure and the number of procedures are determined by a dermatologist.
- Phenolic. Deep chemical peeling of the face, which is performed only when indicated, using anesthesia. This is a traumatic, painful procedure with a long recovery period. Recommended to eliminate pronounced age-related changes, stretch marks and hypotrophic scars. Phenol or carbolic acid causes a chemical burn to the skin. After healing, an effect comparable to plastic surgery for a facelift is observed. The peeling mixture is applied in stages to clean, dry skin, pre-treated with ethyl alcohol. The composition hardens on the face in the form of a mask. The duration of the procedure is from 40 minutes to two hours. At the end of the session, the mask is removed along with the top layer of epithelium. In the future, it is necessary to treat the skin with antiseptics, painkillers and moisturizers. This chemical peeling procedure has many contraindications, a high risk of complications and a very long rehabilitation period (can reach 12 months).
Hardware peelings
- Ultrasonic facial peeling. The effect on the skin occurs due to ultrasonic waves of different frequencies. A cleansing gel is first applied to the face, which, under the influence of sound waves, turns into a fine emulsion. The active substances of the emulsion effectively dissolve impurities and remove sebaceous plugs from the pores. The procedure promotes delicate exfoliation of dead epidermal cells, eliminates comedones, and evens out complexion. This is a completely comfortable and painless technique that does not cause side effects and does not require long-term rehabilitation.
- Laser resurfacing. Carbon dioxide or erbium lasers are used to cleanse the face and cleanse the skin. Thermal radiation effectively evaporates dead cells, easily penetrates to a given depth, activates metabolic processes, stimulates the production of collagen structures, improves blood circulation, and restores skin elasticity. Laser facial peeling is a completely safe procedure based on modern technologies. Does not cause complications, is suitable for eliminating scars, stretch marks, deep wrinkles, provides a lifting and rejuvenating effect on the skin.
- Cryopilling. This is one of the most comfortable and painless procedures. Coolant (liquid nitrogen) is applied to the skin for just a few seconds. Under the influence of ultra-low temperatures, the surface layer of the skin is frozen, followed by exfoliation. Such short-term freezing stimulates epidermal cells to quickly renew, activates the immune system, and provides an antiseptic and antibacterial effect. Rehabilitation takes only 2-3 days; complete restoration of the skin takes 1-2 weeks. The procedure helps smooth out the signs of photoaging and fading, evens out the appearance, eliminates fine wrinkles, fights acne, enlarged pores and manifestations of demodicosis.
When choosing the best peeling option for the face and body, you must take into account the condition of the skin and age. For young skin (up to 25 years), it is best to use the most gentle procedures based on enzymes, lactic or fruit acids.
Older ladies (from 30 to 40 years old) are recommended to select formulations with a higher concentration of chemicals or do mechanical cleansing (microdermabrasion). For more mature skin, with pronounced age-related changes (after 45 years), procedures with a deep degree of penetration are necessary. This effect can be provided by aggressive chemical compounds or hardware methods aimed at accelerating cell renewal, moisturizing, saturating tissues with oxygen, and slowing down age-related changes.

Which drug should I choose?
The choice of professional facial peeling products should be entrusted to a cosmetologist. The range of preparations for cleansing procedures is huge. Particularly popular are compositions based on the following components:
- lactic acid;
- glycogel acid;
- ascorbic, salicylic acid;
- fruit acids (malic, citric).
The excipients include brightening and moisturizing components, extracts of berries, fruits, green tea, enzymes, chitosan, and natural oils.
High-quality and effective facial peelings are produced by well-known cosmetic brands from Israel, Spain, France, and Germany. Russian products from the Natura Siberica company, which produces various types of glycolic and fruit peels, are also deservedly popular. The most important thing is to choose the right product that is ideal for your skin, will not cause irritation or adverse reactions, and will help effectively solve existing problems.
Separately, it is necessary to mention problem skin, because exfoliation is not only a cosmetic, but also a therapeutic procedure. It is used to eliminate acne, cleanse clogged pores, normalize the functions of the sebaceous glands, and prevent inflammatory processes. In this case, salicylic acid-based preparations are used during the procedure. It has a powerful keratolytic effect - exfoliates dead cells, dries, and provides an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect.
Interesting
In many beauty salons you can find a procedure called “Jessner peeling”. The composition of the product for its implementation includes several acids, including lactic and salicylic. This type of peeling got its name from its creator, submariner Max Jessner. Of course, Jessner had no intention of rejuvenating the crew of the submarine on which he served. The doctor was trying to create a disinfectant. But when the submariners returned from their voyage, the relatives were surprised by their blooming appearance. It turned out that sailors used Jessner's composition as aftershave lotion. After this, cosmetologists adopted the product.
Pros and cons of ailing for the face
Any type of facial peeling has its advantages and disadvantages, which should be discussed with a cosmetologist before starting cleansing courses.
Mechanical grinding gives a noticeable rejuvenating effect. The procedure is ideal for smoothing skin texture, eliminating hyperpigmentation and age-related changes. The disadvantages include pain when performing dermabrasion and a rather long recovery period, during which the risk of infection cannot be excluded.
Chemical peeling of the face and body using low-aggressive means has virtually no disadvantages, provides a visible rejuvenating effect, and does not cause complications. When using high concentration acidic compounds, there is a risk of chemical burns. Another disadvantage is that medium and deep chemical peeling of the facial skin requires a long recovery period (from 2 to 12 months).
Hardware procedures (ultrasound, laser facial peeling) are considered the safest and most painless, do not cause side effects, and are easily tolerated. The only downside is the high cost of the procedures.
What types are divided into according to the depth of action?
Peeling in the salon is divided into 3 main types: superficial, medium and deep. As the names suggest, this division depends on the depth of penetration a particular method is designed for.
Let's take a closer look at what each subgroup includes.
Surface
An easy and gentle method, suitable for people without obvious skin problems. Superficial salon peelings affect the granular and stratum corneum of the skin. The procedure is carried out quickly, within 20-30 minutes, the course includes no more than 10 procedures.
After superficial cleansing, light redness, blackheads, and skin impurities are eliminated. It reduces acne, reduces skin oiliness, improves complexion, deeply moisturizes and nourishes, and eliminates early wrinkles.
For serious defects, this method will not demonstrate the desired effect. Having late age-related changes, severe scars and spots, it is worth trying a different technique.
Median
Medium facial peeling is prescribed for clients with serious age-related changes. All anti-aging cleansing methods used in beauty salons are based on this technique. It affects the deep layers of the epidermis, so it can be traumatic.
Medium peeling in beauty salons is carried out for expression and age wrinkles, strong scars, scars, potholes, stretch marks or folds. It is also a preparatory stage for plastic surgery.
Recovery from a midline peel can take up to 3 months.
Deep
The technique of deep facial cleansing is an aggressive, traumatic procedure. This method of cleaning is equivalent to operations. It is performed in a hospital setting, under anesthesia - both local and general. The choice of anesthesia depends on the area being treated and the client’s pain threshold.
The method allows achieving good efficiency. It eliminates deep wrinkles, double chins and jowls, and restores elasticity to tissues. It is recommended for women over 40 years of age who have severe oval sagging.
Restoration of the epidermis after deep cleansing lasts for six months or more.
Price for peelings
The cost of a full course depends on the type of facial peeling, the drugs or equipment used, the qualifications of the cosmetologist, the condition of the skin, treatment areas, and the number of procedures. Here are the average prices for various facial cleansing techniques:
- coral peeling – from 2,000 to 9,000 rubles;
- dermabrasion - from 1500 to 6000 rubles;
- retinoic peeling – from 4500 to 8000 rubles;

Reviews
Victoria, 30 years old
“Last spring I took a course of peelings from a cosmetologist to treat problem skin. After superficial peeling, the skin became much cleaner, inflammation was almost gone, pores were cleaned and tightened, and the complexion became much fresher and more pleasant. After a couple of months, everything began to return to normal, but I again made an appointment with a cosmetologist. Do I recommend this procedure? Definitely yes."
Ekaterina, 36 years old
“My cosmetologist suggested I try superficial chemical peeling. I noticed that my complexion had deteriorated, my face looked tired and small pimples were constantly appearing. After five procedures I took a break, after a few days the irritation went away and then I saw the result! The skin became smooth, clean, very well-groomed and radiant. I'm pleased with the effect, although I had to wait. I recommend to everyone)"
Anastasia, 29 years old
“I did a peeling course, 5 procedures over 1.5 months in order to remove skin imperfections. Since after the procedure the facial skin is red for some time, the effect of the peeling cannot be seen. But the next morning, I still noticed that the skin looked very clean and matte. The pimples noticeably dried out, the procedure perfectly removed the redness and the acne became smaller. The black pores also disappeared and became narrower. Excellent skin cleansing effect.”
Complications and side effects
Complications from superficial peeling are extremely rare. Typically, they can occur due to improper preparation, conduct, or neglect of post-procedure care.
For example, if the chemical composition is overexposed, burns may occur, if massage is too active during mechanical action, scratches and wounds may occur, if sunscreen is neglected, age spots may appear.
But besides this, allergies can be a side effect. To prevent this outcome, before the procedure, you need to conduct a test on a small area of skin to determine the tolerance of the components in the composition.
