The cleansing process is suitable not only for the skin of the face, but even for the hands and body, decollete, the area around the eyes and mouth. To decide on a chemical peeling for the face at home, certain indications for this procedure are required.

Indications for chemical peeling

As for each procedure, and when performing facial cleansing at home, there are a number of indications:

• aging prevention;
• correction of deficiencies that come with age;
• oily skin and enlarged pores;
• the skin is dull, flabby;
• dark spots;
• thickening of the surface layers of the skin;
• consequences after acne and acne.

Types of chemical peeling

Peeling made at home differs from salon peeling in intensity and depth in the skin. At home, mechanical and chemical peels are allowed. The latter, in turn, is divided into:

• surface;
• median;
• deep.

Surface

The penetration depth for this type of peeling is up to 0/32 inch. It acts only on the surface of the epidermis. With surface peeling, dead cells of the horny and granular layers of the skin are removed.

It is carried out with the following indications:

• acne;
• wrinkles;
• uneven skin tone;
• scars and small flaws on the skin;
• pigmentation;
• loss of skin elasticity.

Despite the slight penetration, the surface type of peeling is divided into mechanical, physical and chemical.

With mechanical surface peeling, scrubs are used, the composition includes minerals or components of plant origin. An example of this is particles of fruit, coffee, ground rice. This procedure is carried out in a home environment, as well as with the help of a cosmetologist.

Superficial chemical peeling is the most gentle process. Special components applied to the skin do not penetrate deeper than the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The surface parts of the cells are cleansed.

Physical surface peeling – a component is fruit acid, retinoic acid, salicylic and glycolic acid, alkali.

In order to prevent early skin aging and the appearance of small flaws, surface peeling is often used.

 However, along with the features of the existing peeling, there are contraindications for which the procedure is not recommended:

1. blood disease
2. wounds and abrasions;
3. inflammatory skin diseases;
4. allergy to peeling products.

 Doctors do not recommend surface peeling after mechanical cleaning of the face, in the summer and during pregnancy.

Median

Penetration depth – up to 1/32 inch. The median covers the entire part of the epidermis of the skin of the face. A distinctive feature of surface peeling is that the procedure for the middle type of peeling is advised to do with the use of acids of high concentration (trichloroacetic and fruit).

 The middle type of peeling allows you to get rid of severe pigmentation, to eliminate the appearance of deep wrinkles and red spots on the face and other areas of the skin.

If the surface type of chemical peeling for the face can be carried out independently at home, then the middle one is carried out exclusively by a dermatocosmetologist. With this type of peeling, minor rehabilitation is necessary. Because the skin after the procedure turns red and burns appear, disappearing after a couple of days.

Deep

Penetration depth – up to 1/32 inch. With this type, the epidermis is destroyed, and the active acids reach the almost reticular layer. This type of procedure refers to surgery.

Conduct it with anesthesia or general anesthesia. With a deep type of peeling, the entire dermis layer is removed, only small parts of the tissues are preserved. Thanks to this method, the disappearance of deep wrinkles, age spots, the skin takes on a toned look, becomes healthy and beautiful.

Deep peeling is carried out by laser or chemical means. There are age restrictions in this type of peeling. The procedure is done strictly for women at least 55 years old. Experts identify several main indications for the use of a deep type of peeling:

2. sagging skin on the face and chin;
3. the appearance of stretch marks and scars.
