Indications for manual cosmetology

Manual face cleaning (manual cosmetologist manual removal of sebaceous plugs can act as an independent procedure or be part of a 12-stage peeling) is a deep cleansing of the skin from dead cells, dirt, fatty deposits.

In the process of manual manipulations with the use of tools (“Uno spoons”, “Vidal needles”), the specialist softens the keratinized upper layer (to open the pores), removes the grease film and deep-seated greasy plugs, which prevent air exchange and nutrient intake. A direct indication for mechanical cleansing is the appearance of acne.
