One of the most popular and demanded salon services is facial cleansing by a beautician. First of all, the procedure is important for proper hygiene of the skin, which suffers daily from poor ecology, cosmetics and other negative factors. Regular cleaning is indicated for acne, comedones, and other skin defects of any type. This article will help you figure out what are the benefits of a beauty salon procedure, as well as which method of cleansing is optimal in a given situation.

Indications for

Proper skin care is the key to its health, youth and beauty. The benchmark is a smooth, smooth face with a uniform shade, without wrinkles, age spots and stagnant spots, acne, blackheads and other defects.

Many women strive for this. But at home it is not always possible to achieve the desired effect, especially for owners of problematic epidermis. Scrubs, peels and other products clean only the outer layer of the skin.

Professional cleaning will help to improve the condition of the dermis,which affects the deep layers of the skin and is useful in that it works in several directions:

  • regulates the separation of sebaceous secretions;
  • eliminates oily sheen;
  • fights against blackheads, acne, acne, milia (a type of wen);
  • brightens pigmentation;
  • evens out the shade of the skin;
  • levels post-acne, scars, scars;
  • smoothes wrinkles;
  • eliminates dryness, flaking of the skin.

One of the few problems that cannot be dealt with with this method is the elimination of wen, which is a lipoma or atheroma (benign formation). To eliminate subcutaneous lumps, the doctor will recommend laser correction or another option.In all other cases, the doctor will prescribe a certain type of cleaning, taking into account the type of skin and the tasks that need to be solved.

Usually, experts advise against cleaning the epidermis using salon methods until reaching adulthood. Better yet, postpone the procedure until the age of 25-30, when the regeneration of the dermis slows down. In adolescence, you should use a gentle alternative: masks, special cosmetics for young skin.

Attention!Many doctors are sure that early intervention in the natural processes of self-renewal of the skin is harmful and fraught in the future with early wrinkles, dry epidermis and other troubles.

The effectiveness of the procedure

With the help of cleansing, it will be possible to effectively exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, which will be replaced by a new epidermis: soft, smooth, more elastic and fresh.

The procedure will help to even out the skin tone and texture, restore pH, cleanse the dermis from toxins and toxins, improve metabolism, accelerate blood circulation, activate regeneration and start the production of collagen and elastin.

Cleaning will be effective for women who dream of slightly rejuvenating the skin and getting rid of various defects: age spots, wrinkles, acne and post-acne, comedones, and reduce the severity of pores.

The frequency and number of sessions depend on the specific method, the complexity of the tasks, the patient's age, as well as the type of her skin. Owners of dry and normal dermis can go to the salon every 4-6 months. For girls with oily, combined, problem skin, the beautician will offer more frequent visits - approximately every 1.5–2 months. Usually a course of 3 to 5-6 procedures is required to obtain a noticeable result.

Doctors advise to perform cleaning in the absence of active sun: late autumn, winter, early spring.The renewed epidermis is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, which is reflected in the pigmentation of the treated areas. At the same time, regardless of the time of the procedure, the skin should be protected with cosmetics with SPF.

Preparation for the procedure

The doctor will tell you about the need to prepare for cleaning your face in advance. In some situations, specialists will prescribe a medical examination, since some procedures have health limitations. Besides, doctors warn patients about these rules:

  1. For 14 days before the expected date, you cannot sunbathe on the beach, in the solarium.
  2. It is undesirable to choose a day for cleaning that falls on the period of menstruation. The skin will take longer and more difficult to regenerate. During menstruation, blood clotting worsens, and the painful sensations intensify.
  3. In consultation with the treating doctor, you should stop taking antibiotics. In addition, during the treatment of infectious, viral ailments (especially with a high temperature), cleaning is contraindicated.
  4. Do not peel or cleanse the skin in any other way 2 weeks before the appointed date.
  5. Especially strict prohibitions apply to the next 3 days before the procedure. It is necessary to abandon the use of scrubs with abrasive particles, alcohol-containing cosmetics, as well as visiting the sauna, bath, pool.

Varieties

It is best to choose one or another procedure in tandem with a beautician.A professional will assess the condition of the skin, existing problems and offer his options. Types of cleaning differ in technology, indications for carrying out, the degree of exposure to the skin.

Mechanical

Most often, this method means a manual (manual) method for eliminating comedones, acne - squeezing them out with a Vidal needle, strainer or Uno spoon.

Some experts differentiate the concepts: mechanical cleaning is called cleaning, which involves the use of sterile instruments, and classic manual cleaning is one where the beautician works exclusively with his hands.

Any of the methods will suit the owner of an oily, combined epidermis with clogged pores and abundantly covered with black dots, acne, and acne.

Also, the mechanical methods of cleansing the face include brushing. Another name is brossage. The keratinized particles of the dermis are exfoliated with the help of special brushes.

Ultrasonic

One of the least painful and traumatic cleaning methods. The beautician acts on the skin with a special device that emits ultrasonic waves. As a result, the face is cleared of sebaceous plugs, blackheads, etc. An additional effect is micromassage, which stimulates blood circulation and metabolism. The ultrasound method is suitable for girls with normal skin types. It does not act aggressively, so it will not cope with serious problems.

Combined

Combines 2 types of cleaning at once: manual and ultrasonic. The first is used on problem areas with black dots, milia and other defects. Ultrasound cleanses the entire surface of the face, refreshing the skin, improving its color and texture. The method is suitable for almost all women, with the exception of those whose skin is too dry.

Vacuum

It occurs using special equipment with a suction cup that creates a vacuum,which pushes all impurities to the surface of the skin. Has a slight lifting effect. The procedure is suitable for owners of any type of skin, but it may be ineffective for oily and problematic dermis.

Laser

It is considered the most expensive and rather aggressive cleaning. The laser beam evaporates (burns out) problem areas, stimulating the cells of the epidermis to renew.In place of the previous layer, a new, smoother, cleaner, more even, uniform color is formed. The technique is indicated for getting rid of the face of pigmentation, wrinkles, as well as increased greasiness, comedones and other problems characteristic of oily, problematic and combined types of dermis.

Atraumatic (chemical)

For this cleansing, the doctor uses special preparations based on acids,which gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, cleanse it of impurities, even out the tone and relief of the face.

The procedure is often called chemical peeling. The method is suitable for owners of any type of epidermis. The difference is in the composition of the product.

There is also another dry cleaning method that uses phytic acid. The method is called Hollywood and is recommended for women with dry, wilting, oily dermis. This option is also used for sensitive skin.

Attention! Sometimes vacuum and ultrasonic methods are referred to atraumatic types of facial cleansing - because of their delicate effect on the skin.

Electroplating

Other names are desincrustation, galvanotherapy or galvanophoresis.During the procedure, a special solution is applied to the skin. In order for the drug to better penetrate the epidermis, the beautician acts on the patient's face with weak electrical impulses. Such cleaning helps to normalize the work of the sebaceous glands, dissolve impurities, and soften comedones. However, this method will not work for girls with dry, thin skin.

The average cost of different types of facial cleansing in Moscow is from 2,000 to 4,000 rubles. You can find both cheaper and more expensive. The price of the laser method (depending on the complexity of the situation) reaches 12-16 thousand rubles, and this is also not the limit. How much any procedure costs depends on the location of the clinic, the qualifications of the doctor, the size of the area to be treated, etc.

Procedure steps

Each cleaning is carried out according to its own scheme, using solutions, instruments, apparatus, etc. On average, a visit with a beautician lasts from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours (this includes the preparation and the process itself). Depending on the specific technique and its nuances, in general terms, the complete salon procedure goes something like this:

  1. Cleansing the face from dirt, make-up.
  2. Steaming the skin (for example, for a mechanical method) or treating the epidermis with a special composition (atraumatic, galvanic and other methods). If necessary, use of local anesthesia.
  3. Elimination of defects manually or using devices (vacuum, laser, ultrasonic device, etc.). During the procedure, the patient may experience discomfort. Some women complain that they are in pain. The most common sensations are burning, tingling sensations. Many patients call the least painful ultrasound.
  4. The final stage: treatment of the skin with antiseptics, moisturizers or soothing agents.

Cleaning should be performed by an experienced, qualified doctor who will do everything according to the protocol and pay due attention to the sterility of the process.

Healing period

After the procedure, the face may remain red for some time.Painful sensations are not excluded: itching, feeling of tightness of the skin, burning, etc. To relieve symptoms, it is important to use only those means that the doctor will allow. Depending on the situation, doctors often recommend moisturizers, Panthenol or Bepanten, Chlorhexidine, and other drugs.

By the way. The shortest recovery period has an ultrasound procedure. But she, like other methods, has contraindications.

The beautician who performed the procedure will tell you in detail how to properly care for the skin after cleaning. Some of the recommendations differ depending on the selected method. However, there is also general rules:

  1. For the first 2–3 days, try not to touch your face with your hands, do not wash it with water. If the beautician permits, wipe the skin with milk or foam.
  2. Avoid using tonics, alcohol-based lotions, as well as scrubs, peels.
  3. After cleaning for 2 weeks, you cannot visit the pool, sauna, solarium. Limit physical activity during this period.
  4. Remember: alcohol slows down the regeneration of the skin and provokes puffiness.
  5. The first few days after cleansing, protect your face from wind, frost, heat.
  6. In the future, use a cream with sunscreen filters.
  7. Use homemade lotions and masks as directed by your doctor.

Precautions

If the procedure is carried out correctly in compliance with sterility, as well as if the patient follows all medical prescriptions, the skin heals quickly. Usually the process takes no longer than 7-10 days, and more often even less.

It depends on the chosen method. If at some stage there was a violation of the technology or the client ignored the doctor's recommendations, there is a risk of complications. It happens that rashes, hematomas, edema appear on the face, which do not go away for several days.

Sometimes side effects are the result of an allergic reaction or indicate an individual intolerance to the components of the solution. In order to prevent the development of complications, it is important to exclude situations in which cleansing the skin of the face is contraindicated:

  • oncology;
  • pregnancy;
  • lactation period;
  • serious pathologies of internal organs;
  • chronic diseases (diabetes, epilepsy, bronchial asthma, etc.);
  • violation of the integrity of the skin - abrasions, wounds, cuts, burns;
  • exacerbation of herpes or other viral infections;
  • dermatological ailments;
  • the presence of implants, a pacemaker, etc.

There is a lot of discussion about cleaning during pregnancy. Cosmetologists advise women to be patient and postpone the procedure: why put the baby and their own health at risk? The author of this review speaks out against the mechanical method.

There are cosmetologists who do not consider ultrasonic cleaning harmful for the expectant mother and her child.

An alternative opinion - during pregnancy, atraumatic face cleansing is possible. Although the final word, of course, remains with the woman.

Facial cleansing has always been the most demanded and necessary cosmetic procedure. After all, high-quality and regular cleansing of the skin of the face is the key to beauty, grooming and a healthy appearance.

Professional face cleansing helps to remove toxins from the skin, unclog pores and restore cells to breathe normally. As a result, the complexion improves, fine wrinkles are smoothed, hateful blackheads disappear and cell regeneration is accelerated.

Salon face cleansing is very popular not only among women, but also among men, because a high-quality facial cleansing can solve many aesthetic problems, and good looks, regardless of gender, are of great importance in the modern world.

Salon face cleansing is represented by a wide variety of methods. A competent cosmetologist, taking into account the type of skin, its condition, selects the best way that suits you.

The oldest and most famous way to cleanse your face is to cleanse your pores with the hands of a beautician. Despite the simplicity of the manipulation, it should be performed by an experienced doctor, since with this method there is a high probability of injury to the skin, infection, which can result in scarring and deterioration of the skin condition.

Indications for mechanical cleansing of the face are, first of all, problem skin, on which acne and comedones are constantly formed as a result of excessive activity of the sebaceous glands. It is also better to choose this type of cleaning for enlarged pores, unhealthy skin with numerous rashes and a tendency to frequent inflammation. Another reason for deep cleaning is the use of active cosmetics after it. If you are planning a skin rejuvenation or toning session, you should opt for mechanical pore cleansing to help nutrients penetrate deep into the skin.

Manual cleaning is performed under sterile conditions, using bright light and a magnifying glass, after preliminary steaming or warming the skin. For this, steam, hot compresses or special cosmetic masks are used.

After the pores on the face are open, the doctor treats the skin with an antiseptic and, with his fingers wrapped in sterile napkins, squeezes out the contents of the pores. Sometimes special cosmetic instruments are used - metal spoons, for better comedone extraction (removal of comedones). In this case, we speak of mechanical cleaning.

After cleansing the pores, the skin is disinfected again and a special anti-inflammatory, soothing and pore-reducing composition is applied. On average, the procedure takes about an hour.

Often, for a better result and to prevent inflammation, additional physiotherapy is performed after cleaning, for example, darsonval.

For some time after manual cleansing, the skin may have redness and flaking, which disappear in 1-2 days, as a result, the skin becomes healthy and clean.

Within 4-5 days after the procedure, you must refrain from exposure to the sun, the use of decorative cosmetics and the use of overly strong cleansers.

Manual face cleansing is a rather painstaking manipulation, painful for some, but, if done correctly, it is extremely effective. It is recommended to perform the procedure as needed, but at least 1 time in 3 months, or by specially selected courses. In between cleansing, it is advisable to follow the doctor's recommendations regarding daily skin care.

Despite the presence in every salon or beauty center of special equipment for cleaning the skin, the manual method remains in the arsenal of any cosmetologist, as a very effective, and in some cases, the only possible way.

Chemical cleaning of facial skin involves the use of a variety of products (peels) based on glycolic, salicylic or fruit acids.

As a result of such cleaning, the upper stratum corneum is removed, the sebaceous plugs are dissolved and the pores are narrowed. In addition, regular use of peels can regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands of the skin, smooth out fine wrinkles and improve the complexion.

During dry cleaning, a special gel with acids is applied to cleansed and dry skin. If necessary, the skin is massaged until specific granules are formed, then the preparation is removed and a face mask is applied to the skin, depending on the skin type, which is washed off after a few minutes. Thus, the whole procedure takes no more than half an hour and does not cause any painful or uncomfortable sensations.

The result of dry cleaning is radiant and even skin. It is advisable to carry out the procedure 3-4 times a month. Means for dry cleaning and the frequency of procedures are selected by the cosmetologist, taking into account the individual properties of the patient's skin.

There are few contraindications for dry cleaning: inflammation in the area of \u200b\u200bmanipulation, trauma or scratches, allergy to the components of the drug and increased skin sensitivity.

For its implementation, an apparatus with a special maniple resembling a spatula is used. When in contact with the skin, it begins to vibrate under the influence of ultrasonic waves, pushing dirt, sebaceous plugs and slags to the surface.

The main advantage of such cleaning is its safety - the skin is not injured, and it does not need a recovery period. Ultrasonic cleaning does not require preliminary steaming. Cleansing the skin with this method is deep and high-quality. Some patients may experience certain painful sensations during the procedure, it depends on the individual pain sensitivity.

Indications for ultrasonic face cleansing are enlarged pores, loss of tone, flaking, dull complexion and sensitive skin.

This type of cleaning is contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women, as well as for those who have cardiovascular and oncological diseases, inflammation of the optic nerve, infectious diseases in the acute stage. You should temporarily refrain from ultrasonic cleaning if there are purulent rashes or serious inflammation on the skin.

In terms of softness and delicacy of exposure, laser cleaning is similar to chemical cleaning. This also results in superficial exfoliation and cleansing of the pores. In addition, the effect of laser radiation has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin as a whole: penetrating deep into the skin, the laser improves blood circulation, tissue nutrition and stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. The impact with this method of cleaning is non-contact, which eliminates the risk of infection.

The result of laser cleansing is healthy and fresh skin, even relief and improvement of complexion, normalization of the activity of the sebaceous glands, narrowing of pores, smoothing of scars and scars on the skin, superficial wrinkles and age spots.

Facial cleansing with the help of hardware cosmetology methods is possible for both women and men, but the former visit the procedure much more often. Learn about different types of services and options.

What is facial cleaning in the salon

Multiple acne, blackheads, blackheads or other noticeable skin imperfections are always a reason to start looking for remedies to combat ailments. When the body is in order, and home remedies are still powerless, it's time to turn to cosmetologists. Depending on the condition of the skin, you will be offered manual or hardware facial cleansing. It will be possible to talk about which one is right for you only after the first session.

Mechanical

If you have problem skin with a lot of clogged pores and blackheads, manual cleaning may be more effective. The essence of the procedure is the gradual squeezing out of each pimple by hand. With the help of a magnifying glass, the beautician can see even the smallest imperfections and remove them. The downside of this effect on the skin is increased pain in certain areas. The list of advantages includes low cost and quick relief from visible inflammations.

Be sure to pay attention to the room in which skin manipulations are carried out, to the tools and the uniform in which the beautician is wearing. The slightest infection can penetrate an open wound, which can lead to even more dire consequences. It is also necessary to remember that rosacea is an absolute contraindication for such cleaning. This salon intervention is not recommended during menstruation: there may be an increased release of blood from opened comedones.

Vacuum

With oily skin, pores become clogged automatically, which not only causes an ugly shine, but also contributes to the formation of rashes. If even the thought of manual cleaning of the skin is unpleasant to you, then you can resort to vacuum. The procedure is carried out by a cosmetologist using a special apparatus that attracts the skin to its attachment and is completely atraumatic. The negative side of this type is the insufficient depth of penetration, so if you have serious skin lesions, then the vacuum will not save them from them.

Laser

According to reviews of people using this method, laser exposure is one of the most optimal in terms of efficiency. With skin irregularities, age spots and other defects, this method is clearly shown. The non-contact laser beam has a destructive effect on the dead part of the skin and stimulates regenerative processes. However, the currently fashionable procedure has a number of negative sides:

  • healing can take a long time, during which it is prohibited to use cosmetics;
  • high price.

Due to the activity of the sun's rays, it is impossible to do these manipulations with a beautician in the summer, and, in addition, if there are contraindications. This can make the situation worse. Laser facial cleansing by a beautician is harmful for the following categories of clients:

  • pregnant women and nursing mothers;
  • suffering from epilepsy;
  • having skin diseases in the acute stage;
  • young people under 22 years old.

Electroplating

This method is based on the effect on the skin with a device that emits an electric current of a certain strength. Do this to expand pores, remove excess fat accumulations. Cleaning with this method is so deep that it can clean clogged pores well. Sessions are shown only to owners of oily or combination skin, for dry - the effect can be disastrous. The price of the procedure is attractive, but this is not the case when it should be done regularly. Sebum is completely removed, and with frequent intervention, the integument can dry out.

Ultrasonic peeling

Dead skin particles are subject to periodic removal, as they significantly spoil the appearance. With the help of a special device emitting ultrasonic waves, the top layer of the skin is removed by the beautician painlessly with a feeling of slight vibration. Such facial cleansing by a beautician, in addition to all the stages inherent in the procedure, begins with the treatment of integuments with mineral water. This is done to remove contaminating microparticles from the pores, which will subsequently be removed by an ultrasonic apparatus.

Chemical

Skin defects in beauty salons can be eliminated with acids - salicylic, fruit or glycolic. Their action is similar to each other and is aimed at getting rid of pores from impurities. This type of cleaning can be combined, for example, with a mechanical method. In such a situation, it is worth starting with a chemical peel, since acids can corrode the skin after manual cleansing.

What is the most effective facial cleansing

You can talk about the effectiveness of this or that method by seeing a person and his skin. Rules:

  1. For people with rashes in the stage of exacerbation, mechanical cleaning is indicated, it will be more effective than others. Others cannot be done with such a picture.
  2. If there are no visible defects, but the skin is uneven and when applying makeup it catches the eye, laser cleaning is what you need.
  3. In the case of oily skin and blackheads, any of the remaining methods may work.
  4. You can try each one separately and, based on the price, find out which facial cleansing is best for you.

The price of facial cleansing from a beautician

How much a particular procedure will cost will depend on the specific clinic and city. For example, in Moscow, mechanical processing of leather will cost an average of 1,800 rubles. Exposure to vacuum is inexpensive - 2000 rubles, ultrasound - 3000 rubles, electric current - 1200 rubles. For cleansing your face with acids in Moscow salons you will be charged from 1000 to 3500 rubles.
