Enzymes are the main active ingredients, otherwise called enzymes. They break down fat in the intestines into small particles for the convenience of the digestive system.

Enzymes also work on the skin. Enzymes are sourced from natural sources (such as fruits) and revitalize the skin for a healthy-looking complexion. Enzyme peeling of the face has a great advantage over similar chemical procedures, as it gently stimulates the renewal of the dermis:

• quickly weakens intercellular connections;
• cleanses pores;
• natural enzymes do not injure the surface of the dermis;

• The main stage: application of a preparation with enzymes (enzyme gel or cream) on the skin for 10-30 minutes. During the procedure, the patient may feel burning, itching, tingling, which is a normal, standard skin reaction.
• Removing enzyme peels: carried out with water (when the drug contains only enzymes), a neutralizer (when it also contains acids), enzyme gel or the cream can also roll off the face with your hands, which will help to effectively remove the remnants of keratinized skin particles.
• The final stage: a moisturizing or nourishing cream is applied to the skin to soothe the skin and relieve inflammation.

Not every woman can boast perfect skin... Problems can be caused by improper nutrition, polluted air, hard water, lack of vitamins, improper selection of cosmetics, etc. Enzyme peeling can correct the situation. It helps to cope with many problems, transforms the skin, making it fresher and more beautiful. Let's consider the features of this procedure and the rules for its application.

What it is?

Enzymatic peels, also called enzymatic peels, are suitable for all skin types. Enzymes are enzymes that accelerate the breakdown of the stratum corneum. Protein molecules (enzymes) do not act aggressively on the skin. Thanks to their delicate action this procedure even prescribed to girls with rosacea (vascular mesh on the face).

Peeling not only helps to get rid of dead skin cells, but also perfectly "polishes" it, helps to eliminate age spots and acne. Compared to acid peels, enzyme peels are considered gentle.

All processes in the human body proceed under the action of enzymes. They are also found in the cells of the dermis and epidermis. Enzymes act as catalysts (speed up the reaction) and as inhibitors (slow down the reaction). In total, scientists have identified 5000 types of enzymes, but they are all divided into 6 classes. Each class regulates the process of one type of reaction, for example, hydrolases regulate the decomposition of substances with water (hydrolysis), and lyases are responsible for the decomposition of substances in the absence of water. The composition of the products recommended by cosmetologists most often include hydrolases.

However, not all hydrolases are used in cosmetology. For the healing and transformation of the skin, protease, carbohydrase and lipase are usually used. Protease promotes protein breakdown when exposed to water. Carbohydrases are also excellent at this task, but only with carbohydrates. Lipases decompose fats by hydrolysis.

Types of peeling enzymes

All enzymes are specific. Each enzyme reacts differently to the same compound (or does not react at all). Enzymes, as mentioned earlier, are found in almost every living organism. They regulate vital processes by influencing the rate of the reaction. Plant, animal and bacterial enzymes are isolated. But in cosmetology, enzymes are often used that are similar to the protease of human skin.

Typically, plant enzymes are obtained from fruits such as kiwi, lemon, coconut. Also necessary substances contained in berries.

Let's consider what plant enzymes are used for peels.

• Papain is an enzyme derived from the juice and pulp of papaya. Its concentration in preparations for enzyme peeling is higher than the concentration of other enzymes. This item promotes exfoliation of dead skin cells, while it perfectly nourishes the dermis.
• Bromelain is a complex molecule. This substance is found in pineapple. This enzyme helps to get rid of fine wrinkles on the face, removes traces of pigmentation.

• Ficin is a component found in the cells of the foliage of the fig tree. It speeds up the processes by which collagen is produced. Collagen is present in the cells of our body, but with age, it begins to be produced in a smaller volume, which is why the skin begins to sag. Collagen adds elasticity to the tissues.
• Actinidin is an enzyme in the kiwi fruit. It makes the walls of blood vessels denser and stronger, therefore it is good for combating rosacea. The substance unclogs dirty pores and reduces them.
• Arbutin, a substance that is part of lingonberry and mulberry, has a lightening effect, with the help of it you can get rid of age spots.

Animal enzymes are also used in the production of various enzyme peels.

1. Muramidase is an enzyme that is derived from the protein of a chicken egg. It has anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties. The preparations containing this enzyme disinfect the skin and fight against the appearance of acne.
2. Pepsin - important component enzyme peeling. It is excreted from the stomach lining of horses, cows, pigs and sheep.

Trypsin is an enzyme obtained from the pancreas of calves. Has healing and disinfecting effects.

Bacterial enzymes are produced by fermentation certain types bacteria.

Enzymes derived from fermented milk products, especially important, they soften the skin and nourish it.

1. Herbase is an active enzyme that promotes the separation of the stratum corneum of the skin. Herbal preparations help to get rid of pigmentation.
2. Subtilisin is a very important enzyme that stimulates regeneration processes.

All of these enzymes are actively used in the manufacture of enzyme peels. But not all enzymes can work together; everyone needs certain conditions. Therefore, all of these elements are never applied together.

Indications

Despite the mild action of the enzyme peeling, it can relieve the skin of the face and body from many problems.

A big plus of this procedure is that it suits oily, normal and dry skin.

Enzyme peeling can be called a universal remedy.

• dark spots;
• acne and pimples, as well as marks from them;
• shallow wrinkles on the body;
• clogged pores;
• unnatural grey colour skin;
• scars, post-acne;
• increased skin oiliness.

Also given view beauticians carry out peeling before subsequent procedures to cleanse and prepare the pores.

Contraindications

There are few contraindications for the remedy, but still they are, which means that you need to familiarize yourself with them.

There are a number of reasons why you should stop using enzyme peels:

• individual intolerance to any substance that is part of the composition;
• aggravated skin diseases (itching, bruising, cracks);
• diabetes;
• diseases that reduce immunity;
• wounds on the skin;
• viral disease - herpes.

Pros and cons

Let's consider the main advantages and disadvantages of this type of peeling for a complete assessment of the procedure.

There are quite a few advantages.

• The substances that make up the drug are less aggressive than acids. But the result from the use of enzyme and acid peeling same.
• Cosmetologists are allowed to use such a tool. all year round... Enzyme peels can be done even in summer.
• The procedure helps to get rid of most of the defects. At the same time, there are no scrubbing particles in the composition of the cosmetic product. This means that people with rosacea can safely apply this way cleansing.
• After home or salon procedure enzyme peeling, the skin will be renewed, useful material... The effectiveness of using masks, lotions and creams after peeling increases.

Changes are visible after the first procedure. Of course, to get rid of post-acne and other noticeable problems, you will need a set of procedures. But the skin will be transformed after the first application of the product. It will become silky, smoother, and most importantly, clogged pores will open, cells will begin to breathe.

• No rehabilitation period is required. After peeling, there is no flaking or redness, so there is no need to sit at home, waiting for the skin to "come off" from the procedure.
• You can cleanse your face with this method not only in the salon with a beautician, but also at home.
• Enzymes slow down hair growth. This is undoubtedly big plus for girls.
• Peeling is great for cleansing your face and body.
• During pregnancy, the use of the drug is allowed, but only after consulting a doctor and a beautician.

There is only one drawback - such drugs will not get rid of deep wrinkles and scars.

Procedure steps

Before the first procedure, you need to make a test to make sure that the drug will not cause you an allergic reaction. To do this, apply a small amount of the product to the inside of your wrist. The peeling can be washed off after 10 minutes. If there was no burning sensation and allergies (redness), then the product can be used to cleanse the face.

Peeling is a serious procedure, so it is important to follow all preparation rules. There are not many of them.

1. Before enzyme peeling, do not use products that contain acids or retinol. This is due to the fact that in addition to enzymes, many enzyme peels also contain these components. Too much of these substances can damage the skin. It will become dry, begin to crack, and inflammation may appear in the corners of the lips. Dermatitis is possible.
2. Do not epilate the day before the enzymatic peeling procedure. But you can, on the contrary, carry out peeling before epilation. Usually, cosmetologists advise scrubbing the desired area before removing hairs, but the scrub can be replaced with an enzyme peeling. It will not only cleanse the skin, but also help avoid ingrown hairs.
3. Enzyme peeling should not be performed 5 days before the laser resurfacing or dermabrasion procedure. In the process of cosmetic resurfacing, the upper dead layer of the epithelium is removed with a special laser. With dermabrasion, a layer of skin is scraped off. This procedure is designed to remove post-acne, scars, age spots. Both procedures severely injure the skin. Peeling gently removes the stratum corneum, but the sensitivity of the skin increases. Therefore, when carrying out laser resurfacing or dermabrasion after enzymatic peeling, there is a possibility of severe damage to the dermis and epidermis.

Let's move on to the procedure itself.

First, let's look at how the procedure is carried out by specialists in the salon.

• The beautician cleanses the skin of make-up and impurities special means... It is recommended not to dye your eyes and eyebrows before visiting the salon, because a film will be applied to your face. Otherwise, your eye makeup may deteriorate. There is also a high probability of hitting decorative cosmetics on the mucous membrane of the eye, from which there will be a burning sensation.
• Peeling is applied. Usually they start from the forehead, then the cheeks, chin, nose. Last but not least, the neck and décolleté are treated with an enzyme peel. Each specialist uses a different professional cosmetics, therefore, the beautician may have a ready-made enzymatic peeling in a tube or in the form of a powder, which will need to be diluted before use. In addition, some cosmetologists add other preparations or solutions to the peeling that improve the effect. For example, an antioxidant concentrate is often used as an additive. It slows down the breakdown of collagen and elastin. The skin remains firm and the aging process of the tissues slows down.
• After applying the product, the face is covered with a film. Typically, the waiting time is 10-30 minutes, depending on the composition of the peel. This method of cleansing the skin is gentle, so clients do not experience tingling or other unpleasant sensations.

• The product is washed off with warm or slightly cool water. Sometimes it is necessary to use an alkaline neutralizer to remove acid residues from the skin that may be part of the product.
• After the peeling, the beautician can do a few more procedures. The treatment is tailored to the age and skin type of the client.
• After any type of peeling, it is imperative to moisturize the skin. For this, masks, various serums are used.
• At the end of the procedure, the master applies a cream with SPF, which will protect the delicate renewed skin from ultraviolet radiation.

You can do an enzyme peel yourself at home. The algorithm of actions remains the same as in the salon. Apply the cream to dry, clean skin of the face, neck and décolleté. Perform an express massage for 3-5 minutes, cover the skin with a film and a towel for 10 minutes to activate the enzyme. Rinse off any leftover product.

There is also a second way. It is suitable for those who like to relax during water treatments... Lying in the bath, apply the product to your face, massage a little. There is no need to use a film and a towel, the enzymes will become active from the warm temperature of the water. Rinse off the cream after 10-15 minutes. After home peeling(especially if you have dry, dehydrated skin), you can apply a moisturizing mask or use a nourishing cream.

Efficiency professional peeling and home procedure can be different. Experts add various oils and concentrates, while taking into account the type and characteristics of the patient's skin. After the procedure, the beautician restores the moisture balance of the skin with special means. The procedure has a cumulative effect, so the salon must be visited 5-10 times at intervals of 7-10 days.

Follow-up care

Post-peeling care necessarily includes moisturizing the skin and protecting it from external factors... For dry skin after exfoliation, it is recommended to use fat creams so that the cells make up for the deficiency nutrients and moisture. In summer, you should not use too dense products, they clog the pores and make it difficult for the cells to “breathe”. Milk or foam is perfect for cleansing this type of skin; such products will not damage the hydrolipid mantle. Take a closer look at the tonic. Many do not use it in their daily skin care, but in vain. The tonic prepares dry skin for subsequent procedures: applying a cream, mask or gel, it also restores the acid-base balance.

Experts recommend moisturizing oily skin after peeling with a cream with a light texture. For daily care anti-inflammatory and antiseptic lotions are good. You can treat your face not only in the morning and in the evening, but also in the middle of the day, so as not to clog the renewed tissues with dust.

Normal skin also needs hydration. A moisturizing and soothing cream is applied to it. Depending on the season, you can change your skin care cosmetics, using lighter creams in the summer and more oily creams in the winter.

For any skin type after peeling, it is necessary to use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Ultra-violet rays reduce local immunity, provoke rashes and pigmentation. In the first hours after the salon peeling, refrain from applying any cosmetics. For at least 4 days, do not scrub the skin with scrubs, this is not necessary, because the skin has already been cleared by enzymes. Scrubbing particles can damage the dermis.

Enzyme peeling can be a preparatory process for subsequent procedures. As already mentioned, experts often recommend using this remedy before sugaring and depilation, enzymatic peeling is an excellent substitute for scrubs. It does not cause irritation or redness, unlike scrubbers. The use of peeling will also relieve the problem of ingrown hairs, which begin to bother many girls after epilation.

Cosmetologists advise peeling before cleansing your face. Already at this stage, the pores begin to clear, and mechanical cleaning helps to achieve maximum effect.

Experts prescribe enzyme peels before the program intensive moisturizing and rejuvenation with ampoule concentrates or before electroporation (a procedure using electric current, which results in skin rejuvenation). Of course, both procedures are best performed on the renewed skin of the face. In this case, it is important not to damage the cover, therefore, enzymatic peeling is used for such tasks.

• Sorbain. The action is aimed at removing dead skin cells.
• Pepsin. The action is aimed at breaking down proteins.

Preparation of funds

In the absence of the possibility of acquiring a professional product, it can be prepared at home. For this, one ampoule is added to half a glass of water.

Also, several grams of papain are introduced into the composition.

On the tip of a knife, you need to take guar gum and add to the composition. The mixture is thoroughly mixed and used for peeling. All components for the product can be purchased over the counter without a prescription.

Professional remedies

Among professional tools for enzyme peeling, GIGI can be distinguished. The drug is characterized by a rich composition, which provides exfoliation of dead cells, as well as softening and whitening of the skin.

You can also use the Jansenn preparation, which is developed on the basis of subtillisin, an enzyme of bacterial origin. The drug is recommended for oversensitivity skin.

Preparatory stage

Due to the mild effect of the drugs, the manipulation does not require special preparation. The patient must refuse to relax on the beach, visit saunas and solariums a week before the session.

Carrying out in the salon

Enzyme resurfacing is most often performed in salon conditions... Initially, the skin is cleaned of decorative cosmetics.

After cleaning the skin, a pre-peeling solution is applied, with the help of which high-quality penetration of active enzymes into the skin is ensured. After half an hour, peeling is applied to the skin.

It must be held for 10 to 30 minutes. The duration of the funds is determined in accordance with the tasks set. The product is removed with warm and clean water. If the peeling was carried out with acids, then the use of acid neutralizers is recommended to eliminate it.

Peeling at home

If desired, the patient can carry out an enzyme peeling at home, which consists of several stages. At the first of them, a thorough cleaning of the skin from dirt and decorative cosmetics is carried out.

For this purpose, the use of a foam for washing or lotion is carried out. Next, a pre-peeling solution is carefully applied. V in this case It is strictly forbidden to make passes, as this can lead to the development of an inflammatory process.

At the next stage, the peeling agent is applied to the skin. The exposure time of the solution should be 15 to 20 minutes. With excessively oily skin, the drug can be used for half an hour.

In order to achieve the highest possible effect, a plastic wrap is applied to the skin. The solution is washed off with warm pre-boiled water.

Care after the session

In order to consolidate the results of grinding, you must adhere to certain rules. Patients are strictly prohibited from touching the skin with their hands for 24 hours after manipulation.

How to carry out enzyme peeling on your own, this video will tell:

Within a week after the session, regular use of lotions should be carried out, which have a calming effect. Their selection is carried out in accordance with the type of skin.

In the first three days after the procedure, it is recommended to abandon decorative cosmetics. Within a week after the enzyme peeling, the face should be protected from negative impact direct sunlight.

Effectiveness

The peeling results are noticeable for women after the first session. The skin is cleansed and becomes more elastic. Also, the action of peeling is aimed at lightening.

Thanks to the procedure fine wrinkles become less pronounced. The peeling action is aimed at stabilizing the performance of the sebaceous glands.

That is why, after using the product, there is a significant decrease in the level of fat content of the skin. After several manipulations, the amount of acne and is significantly reduced.

Enzyme (enzymatic) peeling for the face

Enzyme peeling - what is it

Enzyme peeling (enzymatic)- this is a superficial peeling, in which the quality active substance not acids act, but enzymes. Enzyme peeling is a rather gentle procedure, suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin with rosacea.

The action of the enzymatic peeling of the face is to gently cleanse the skin from protein impurities, secretions of sebaceous and sweat glands, as well as in the removal of dead cells of the stratum corneum of the epidermis. The skin is smoothed, polished and smoothed, acquiring an even, radiant, healthy color. After the procedure, no rehabilitation is required, there is no peeling and hyperemia.

Enzymatic peels are suitable for young skin as cleansing, moisturizing and protecting. For aging skin, such peelings stimulate the processes of its renewal, restoration of tone, relief and skin color. In addition, the enzymatic face peeling helps to fight hyperpigmentation, acne and is suitable for sensitive skin prone to inflammation and allergies, as well as for skin with rosacea and rosacea. Enzyme peels can be done at home.

Properties and mechanism of action of enzymes

Enzymes or enzymes- these are special substances of a protein structure that play the role of biological catalysts (accelerators) or inhibitors (retarders) of chemical reactions occurring in living organisms. All biochemical reactions in cells proceed under the influence of enzymes, of which there are more than 5000. They are usually divided into 6 classes depending on the type of reaction they catalyze:

Oxidoreductase- catalyze redox reactions;

Transferases- catalyze the transfer of certain chemical groups from one molecule to another;

Hydrolases- catalyze hydrolysis reactions, i.e., the splitting of substances with the participation of water;

Lyases- catalyze the breaking of chemical bonds without the participation of water;

Isomerase- cause changes in the structure of the molecule while maintaining its composition;

Ligases (synthetases)- catalyze synthesis reactions.

In cosmetology, hydrolase enzymes are often used: protease - breaks down protein compounds, carbohydrases - carbohydrates, lipases - fats.

Enzyme peeling mechanism of action

The stratum corneum of the epidermis contains proteolytic enzymes (proteases) of the hydrolase class, which regulate the rate of chemical reactions in tissues and take an active part in the processes of renewal of the epidermis due to the breakdown of proteins into peptides and amino acids. Proteases of the epidermis are responsible for the differentiation of keratinocytes, the formation and destruction of desmosomes (mechanical intercellular bonds), for the formation of lipid cement, in particular ceramides. As a result of aging processes, the activity of proteases decreases, which in turn leads to a loss of moisture, a decrease in the rate of formation and renewal of the structural parts of epidermal cells. That is, the upper stratum corneum thickens, accumulates sebum and dirt on the surface of the skin, the relief becomes uneven, and the color is dull and gray.

Proteolytic enzymes, which are part of the enzyme peeling, weaken the adhesion of corneocytes due to the destruction of the structural chemical bonds of the desmosomes and thereby facilitate the exfoliation of horny scales, and also directly break down keratin (skin protein). The effect of enzymatic peeling does not extend beyond the stratum corneum of the epidermis, since the size and charge of enzymes prevents their further penetration into the skin, but due to the removal of the top layer, the production of fibroblasts and the renewal of skin cells are stimulated.

Proteases are most active at a pH of 5-5.5 (weakly acidic); there are also antiproteases in the skin that affect the enzymes of the peeling composition, changing or suppressing their activity. In this case, peeling enzymes can enter into a bond with them, forming compounds that have a proteolytic effect. In this case, they become immune to other protein inhibitors and can continue their activity. When a compound is formed, its antigenic origin may not be recognized.

Types of enzymes used in peels and masks

1. Enzyme peels contain enzymes of plant, animal and bacterial origin, which are similar to skin proteases. In plants, protease is found in papaya, pineapple, coconut, kiwi, figs, mango, pumpkin, lemon, pomegranate, blueberry, etc. The main plant enzymes used in enzyme peels are: papain, bromelain, ficin and actinidin.

Papain- a proteolytic plant enzyme contained in the milk juice of the fruit of the melon tree (papaya), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins to amino acids, has an antimicrobial effect and removes dead cells from the surface layer of the skin.

Sorbain- These are the combined enzymes of lemon and papaya, remove dead cells of the stratum corneum and thereby stimulate cell renewal.

Bromelain- a plant proteolytic enzyme contained in pineapple fruits destroys peptide bonds between amino acids inside the protein. Removes dead cells from the surface of the skin, and also has a powerful immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, decongestant, healing and lipolytic effect.

Ficin- plant proteolytic enzyme contained in the juice of stems and leaves fruit tree figs (Ficus sp.), capable of hydrolyzing native collagen and breaking down proteins. Removes dead cells and stimulates collagen production.

Actinidin- a proteolytic plant enzyme contained in kiwi fruits destroys peptide bonds between amino acids inside the protein. Cleans the surface of the skin from dead cells.

Arbutin- it is a tyrosinase inhibitor, contained in the leaves of bearberry, lingonberry, wintergreen, Caucasian blueberry, inhibits the synthesis of melanin, is an analogue of kojic acid. Has a whitening effect.

2. Enzyme peels also contain proteases of animal origin: pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin and pancreatin and lysozyme.

Pepsin (Parsinum)- proteolytic enzyme of the hydrolase class, obtained from the gastric mucosa of pigs, sheep and calves, breaks down proteins to peptides.

Trypsin- proteolytic enzyme of the hydrolase class, belonging to the group of serine proteases, which cleaves peptides and proteins, is obtained from the pancreas of cattle.

Chymotrypsin- proteolytic enzyme, catalyzes the breakdown of proteins and peptides, obtained from the pancreas of cattle.

Pancreatin- an enzyme that has a proteolytic, amylolytic and lipolytic effect, obtained from the pancreas of pigs and cattle.

Lysozyme- an antibacterial enzyme of the hydrolase class, capable of destroying the cell walls of bacteria and intercellular cement, obtained from the protein of chicken eggs, has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates the immune system.

3. The most active are proteases of bacterial origin. These include: subtilisin (subtylopeptidase) and grass.

Subtilisin- an enzyme of the class of hydrolases that catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins and peptides, as well as esters and amides of N-protected amino acids, more effective than papain, since it destroys more various protein bonds. This enzyme is produced by the bacteria Bacillus subtilis and related bacteria during fermentation.

Grass (sutilains)- protease enzyme, produced by the bacteria Bacillus subtilis, has a pronounced loosening and exfoliating effect. Often used in bleaches cosmetics.

4. Enzyme peels and masks also contain milk proteins (casein, calcium caseinate, lactalbumin, lactoglobulin) and enzymes (Alkaline proteinase I, Alkaline proteinase II, Proteinase I, proteinase II and Acid proteinase).

Casein (caseus)- a complex protein (phosphoprotein) formed from caseinogen during enzymatic curdling of milk. Moisturizes, softens the skin and promotes regeneration processes. Calcium caseinate in a bound form as calcium salt is found in milk.

Lactalbumin and Lactoglobulin are proteins of mammalian milk whey and contain all amino acids.

Alkaline proteinase I Is an enzyme similar in structure to blood plasma proteinase, catalyzes the hydrolysis of protein into peptides and amino acids. Found in fresh milk and can be produced by bacteria.

Alkaline Proteinase II- this enzyme is similar in its properties to the blood enzyme thrombin.

Proteinase I- this enzyme is active in relation to peptide bonds formed by lysine.

Proteinase II- this enzyme is active in relation to peptide bonds formed by arginine.

Acid Proteinase It is similar in its properties to the rennet (chymosin) that produces partial hydrolysis of milk casein and is similar to cathepsin, an enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the hydrolysis of peptide bonds.

In cosmetics, enzymes are also used to protect against UV rays - endonucleases, which restore DNA cells; enzymes that protect the skin from free radicals- super-hydroxide dismutase and defensin, which activate the immune system and regeneration processes; a powerful catalyst for regeneration processes - coenzyme Q10 is an antioxidant, is responsible for energy metabolism and oxygenation of cells.
In addition, enzyme peels often include: kaolin ( White clay), vitamins, minerals, plant extracts and extracts, dairy and plant proteins.

4. All products applied after penetrate better and act more actively by removing and loosening the stratum corneum.

5. Can be used as an express procedure, as it produces an instant effect.

6. Not required rehabilitation period, no peeling and hyperemia.

7. Can be used at home after consulting a beautician.

8. Enzymes slow down the growth of facial hair and make the shaft thinner, which is the basis for enzymatic hair removal.

9. Suitable for the skin of the body and hands.

10. Nice alternative in case of intolerance to acids and in case of addiction to ANA and other exfoliation with their prolonged use.

11. Can be used according to indications during pregnancy and lactation.

Minuses

Can't get rid of serious problems, such as deep wrinkles and scars.
Complications may occur: exacerbation of acne, dermatitis, herpes virus, allergies.

Can't be abused enzyme peels, otherwise the opposite effect may turn out. The skin will become dry and the complexion dull as a result of the breakdown of the skin's protective mantle.

Pre-peeling preparation

The day before the procedure, you should not use drugs with acids and retinol, you should not carry out depilation. Do not use enzyme peels after dermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing until the skin is restored.

Carrying out the procedure

At the first enzymatic peeling, a sensitivity test should be carried out - apply the peeling composition to inner surface wrist and leave for 10 minutes. If allergic reaction is not observed, then this peeling can be used.

1. Makeup remover and toning (cleansers and lotions for skin types).

2. Enzyme peeling. A peeling composition is applied to the skin in the following sequence: forehead, cheeks, chin, cheekbones, nose, eyelids, lips, neck and décolleté. When applying some enzyme peels, avoid the eyes and mouth area. Also enzymatic peels can be used on the body. Exposure time depending on the composition and desired effect from 10 to 30 minutes. Enzymes love warmth and moisture, and therefore, to activate them, the face is covered with a damp warm towel (compress) or covered with a film. And also a beautician can massage over the peeling composition.

Enzyme peels can be ready-made - in a tube or in a powdery state, which should be diluted immediately before the procedure. It is impossible to store the diluted peeling composition.

3. Neutralization. After the exposure time has elapsed, the peeling composition is washed off with warm water, if the enzyme peeling contains acids, then an alkaline neutralizer may be required. Then the skin is toned.

4. After enzyme peeling a mask should be applied on the skin problem. She will better penetrate and give good result and you can also use active serums.

5. Cream by skin type and UV protection is desirable.

Sensations and skin reactions during the procedure

During the procedure, the patient may feel slight tingling and burning, these sensations will go away on their own after the procedure. Hyperemia may occur, which should subside within 30 minutes.

Compatibility with other treatments

Good results can be achieved by combining enzyme peeling with facial cleansing and darsonvalization. Can be combined with topical alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels. Enzyme peeling is carried out as preparatory stage to more serious procedures ( laser resurfacing, microcrystalline dermabrasion, median peels, mesoscooter).

Number of procedures

The course consists of 5-8 procedures, 1-2 times a week, depending on the type of skin. Professional enzyme peels with the addition of acids are carried out in 1 procedure every 7-10 days, a course of 5-10 procedures.

Before and after photos

Skin care after the procedure

Should be used sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 throughout the course and moisturizers.

Possible complications after enzyme peeling

Allergic contact dermatitis
· Seborrheic dermatitis
Exacerbation of acne
Exacerbation of the herpes virus

Enzyme peeling effect

The visible effect is noticeable immediately after the first procedure, but the result can be judged only at the end of the entire course.
