Salon treatments for acne, acne treatment in the salon

How to get rid of acne spots? This question interests many women who see traces of acne on their skin. Acne can occur at any age; inflammatory processes damage all layers of the skin.

Acne appears for the following reasons:

1. Blockage of the sebaceous glands. They begin to secrete a lot of secretion. As a result, dense lumps are formed, plugs are formed in the gland ducts, which prevent the outflow of secretions. Inflammation appears, and then compaction after the pimple. This situation occurs during puberty. Blocked ducts can occur in adult women during the last week of their menstrual cycle.
2. The superficial stratum corneum of the hair follicles thickens. As a result, sebaceous plugs are formed. Secretions from the sebaceous glands are difficult to drain. The skin becomes inflamed, resulting in acne scars.
3. Reproduction of propionic bacteria as a result of stress. It affects the body's immune status and the production of hormones, so worries can worsen the acne situation.
4. Hot climates and high humidity provoke rashes. Typically, pimples appear in those places that are most often irritated by acrid sweat. These are the neck, chest and back.
5. Ultraviolet. In moderate doses, it helps remove redness from acne, but too much of it has the opposite effect. Sebum production increases and the top layer of skin becomes dry. As the disease worsens, the number of acne increases. This is true not only for a person’s prolonged exposure to the sun; the appearance of acne is also provoked by the abuse of solariums.
6. Squeezing pimples. In this case, the infection only penetrates deeper into the skin, spreading to areas that are not yet inflamed. If a woman squeezes out a pimple and a lump appears, then it needs to be treated. Various methods can be used for this.

Mechanical cleaning eliminates the consequences, not the cause

Mechanical facial cleansing is considered as an additional procedure in the fight against acne. The cosmetologist first cleanses the face, applies a product to enlarge the pores and begins to squeeze pimples and blackheads with his hands. After the procedure, redness (hyperemia) remains, but it goes away after a couple of days. The ineffectiveness of mechanical cleaning lies in the fact that the procedure is aimed only at manually removing acne and not at all at eliminating the cause of their appearance.

In other words, the cosmetologist squeezed out all the pimples on his face with his hands, made a couple of masks and that was all. After a couple of days, your redness went away, your face seemed to be renewed (became better), but this will not last long, because... we eliminated the consequences, not the cause. It is also worth saying that in most cases, inexperienced cosmetologists squeeze out purulent pimples, which are strictly forbidden to touch! I wouldn't do this type of facial at a salon. Wasted money, and the result is temporary.

Dry cleaning

This facial cleansing is often considered a chemical peel. But these are completely different procedures. Thus, peeling is a fairly harsh treatment using aggressive drugs that help remove the old layer. During dry cleaning, there is almost no physical impact on the face. Everything is simple here. The master applies a special composition to the skin, and the cleaning procedure begins. The result is warming up the skin, softening it, removing dirt and fat. The final phase consists of a soft soothing mask. Based on the substance used, dry cleaning is divided into enzymatic and drug. The first procedure is carried out thanks to enzymes: bromelain and papain. The second involves the use of acids such as malic, lactic, oleic, glycolic, and citric.

If the manipulations are performed correctly, you will be able to cope with acne, smooth out wrinkles, and improve your complexion. After cleansing, the vulnerability of the skin on the face is increased. Therefore, when going outside, you should definitely apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.

Ultrasonic facial cleansing

This salon procedure is completely painless and has no side effects. After it there will be no feeling of tightness, skin damage or even minor injuries. Ultrasonic facial cleansing does not require preliminary procedures for steaming the skin, and at the end you don’t have to worry about redness.

My review: Ultrasonic waves act like a scrub. They lightly exfoliate the stratum corneum of the epidermis. Ultrasound is powerless against acne and sebaceous plugs, so I see absolutely no point in doing such a procedure. Wasted money.

Peeling

Since acids are used in salon peeling, the procedure is often accompanied by side effects in the form of redness and skin irritation. The essence of the procedure is the same as ultrasonic cleaning. This is the destruction of the stratum corneum of the skin. In my opinion, peeling in a salon is a waste of money, because... You can do this procedure yourself at home using homemade scrubs.

Ultrasonic cleaning

Ultrasonic cleaning is still considered the most popular method for cleansing the skin. Cosmetologists claim that this type is the most productive. The master acts on the problem area using ultrasound. Thanks to high-frequency ultrasonic waves, sebaceous plugs, dust, and makeup residues are knocked out of the pores, and dead cells are also removed. Accompanying micromassage increases metabolism. If necessary, the master is able to clean problem areas on the chin, wings of the nose, and forehead manually. This process ends with a mask.

After the measures performed, as a rule, there are no traces, redness or bumps left, and the method is painless. This procedure should be done before an important event or combined with other cosmetological techniques. Today this is the most affordable, reliable and simple method available to most clinics and beauty salons. Meanwhile, in terms of depth and productivity of impact, this species is still inferior to others. For girls with normal skin, this method is enough, but for girls with oily and problematic skin, it is advisable to use other methods.

Vaporization

The procedure consists of a kind of steaming of the face using a vaporizer device. This is somewhat reminiscent of a home humidifier with steam coming out of it. Only in this case - steam with ozone. It is believed that this helps refresh aging skin. Many people believe that vaporization gets rid of acne. I’ll say right away that you are being scammed, because... The effect of this procedure on problem skin is zero.

Under the influence of steaming, the skin releases moisture, so the negative aspects of this procedure will be severe dehydration of the facial skin. This is why vaporization is contraindicated for those with excessively dry skin types.

Which cosmetic procedures to choose

How to get rid of acne spots quickly? It is best to immediately make an appointment with a cosmetologist; this is the most reliable way to quickly get rid of acne marks. A specialist will perform an inspection. He will assess the area of ​​skin with defects and then choose the most appropriate procedure.

The best specialists in the cosmetics industry are working to invent new, low-traumatic ways to eliminate skin defects. Today medicine is at a high level, so society can use hardware procedures. Of course, they are quite expensive, but they are highly effective.

How to lighten stains? Modern cosmetology has in its arsenal a large selection of post-acne treatment methods. Peeling has proven itself to be excellent. The following types can be distinguished:

• dermabrasion (mechanical peeling);
• chemical (it can be deep and middle);
• laser.

How to remove acne spots? Peels help exfoliate and dissolve stagnant stains. If there are a lot of acne marks and significant unevenness, laser peeling or mechanical resurfacing is usually prescribed. The procedures are performed under local anesthesia; they are quite painful, but very effective.

How to get rid of acne marks? It is best to contact a cosmetologist or dermatologist at a large cosmetology center. Laser and mechanical resurfacing will remove acne marks that cannot be eliminated in any other way. The procedure is offered by clinics and beauty salons.

You can quickly remove acne spots on your face using chemical peeling. During the procedure, the doctor applies a weak acid solution to the skin. To remove acne spots, lactic acid, salicylic acid, or grape acid can be used. They act softly.

As a result of chemical peeling, the top layer of skin is exfoliated and collagen begins to be produced faster. After the procedures, the skin is evened out and its tone noticeably improves.

When they talk about mechanical peeling, they mean dermabrasion or microdermabrasion. In the first case, the top layer is removed with small brushes that rotate at high speed. The procedure helps to get rid of the marks left by acne, but you need to take into account that it is painful.

Microdermabrasion uses aluminum oxide on the skin to remove dead cells. This peeling is less traumatic. In order to achieve a significant improvement in skin condition, the doctor performs one to several procedures.

How to get rid of acne scars? You can choose laser polishing. The procedure involves the doctor directing a beam to areas of damaged skin. Blood does not come out, because the vessels are “sealed” instantly.

Laser resurfacing requires local anesthesia and the procedure lasts about 30 minutes. Usually the desired effect can be achieved in several visits to the doctor. The frequency between procedures is from 1 to 2 months.

How to get rid of acne scars? Darsonvalization perfectly removes stagnant spots; this method is classified as physiotherapeutic. The doctor uses high-frequency alternating current in his work, but its magnitude is very small. This is enough to get rid of dark spots.

The electrode is passed over the problem area of ​​the skin. Darsonvalization perfectly resolves subcutaneous inflammation. The procedure is accompanied by a characteristic ozone smell. Sessions can be done every other day, the duration of one can be up to 15 minutes.

In order to remove scars, you need from 10 to 15 sessions. Since the skin may dry out after darsonvalization, the procedure is completed by applying a moisturizer.

You can remove acne marks with collagen injections. But their effect is temporary, so the procedure will need to be repeated after 6 months.

Mesotherapy against acne marks

In addition to the procedures described above, mesotherapy is used to remove dark spots left by acne. During the procedure, the doctor injects medications into the problem area. Since they are used in high concentrations, the positive effects are immediate. Metabolism accelerates and the rate of skin regeneration increases. The procedure will remove even old acne marks.

The range of applications of mesotherapy is very wide; it is effectively used to treat acne. The procedure will help remove dark spots from acne and scars, and is especially useful for restoring skin after deep peels.

During mesotherapy, there is no trauma to the skin, and the patient does not feel severe pain. The injections are made by a doctor using a syringe with a very thin needle, or a special device. The good thing about the hardware method is that the medicine is administered without injections.

Mesotherapy is based on the use of drugs called mesococktails. They contain a mixture of elements. These can be vitamins, hyaluronic acid, magnesium, selenium and other substances. Each of the ingredients solves its own problem, but together they act most effectively.

The procedure is easily tolerated by patients. Mesotherapy is compatible with other techniques available in modern cosmetology. How to get rid of red pimples? Mesotherapy can handle this task. It is also used to remove acne, but several sessions will be required. You can repeat the procedure when at least 7 days have passed after the first one. It is important to carefully choose a clinic; mesotherapy should be performed by a doctor.

Vacuum cleaning

Cleaning is carried out in several stages and is absolutely painless. First, the skin is treated with special substances that are considered harmless to humans. The composition does not affect the acid-base balance of the skin. This is the 1st stage of cleaning.

The next step is to steam the pores. Experts use lotion, not a vaporizer, for these purposes. The lotion has a warming effect, which has a beneficial effect on the skin and perfectly opens the pores. Then proceed to the main stage of the procedure. A device with a glass nozzle is used for these purposes. It works on the principle of a vacuum cleaner. The nozzle is applied to the face and begin to pull out comedones and pimples from the pores of the face. Only the upper layer of the epidermis is exposed to this effect.

The vacuum cleaning procedure does not end there. The face needs to be moisturized and the pores narrowed. To do this, use a mask.

My review: by and large, vacuum facial cleansing is a superficial effect. It is somewhat reminiscent of mechanical cleaning, only instead of manually squeezing out pimples, a “vacuum cleaner” is used here. It supposedly pulls out sebaceous plugs and thus cleanses the skin. I really want to say the word “divorce.”

Treatment of acne, pimples, acne

Acne, pimples, irritation, peeling, redness... All these symptoms of acne or acne, which, according to statistics, affects more than 80% of adolescents and 30% of adults, can become an obsessive nightmare that can lead to deep depression or even dysmorphophobia - a painful idea of ​​​​one's own unattractiveness . What causes this insidious disease, which causes so much physical and moral suffering, and how to deal with it?

What is Acne?

Acne

- this is
the result of chronic inflammation of the sebaceous glands
, the causes of which are:

• genetically predetermined level of secretory activity of the sebaceous glands;
• hormonal imbalance;
• hyperkeratosis.

Why does this unpleasant disease most often first make itself felt in adolescence? The fact is that during this period in the blood the content of sex hormones and adrenal androgens increases many times over, enhancing the work of the sebaceous glands. The sebum they produce is sebum

) is the most important element
of the hydrolipid mantle of the dermis
, which contains complex compounds of fatty acids, polyhydric alcohols, glycerol, cholesterol, and wax esters.

In itself, the increased secretion of skin secretion does not pose a danger, however, at the same time, at the mouths of the sebaceous ducts, the layer of corneocytes, dead epidermal cells, thickens, that is, hyperkeratosis occurs, making it difficult for sebum to come to the surface. Gradually, it accumulates more and more and in this environment rich in lipids (fat-like substances) ropionibacterium acnes

- bacteria that live in the microflora of the sebaceous glands.
They intensively produce lipase, an enzyme that breaks down glycerol into free fatty acids, the abundance of which further clogs the ducts, which ultimately leads to the formation of a plug - a comedon
. Under comedones, staphylococci, streptococci and other pathogens of purulent infections thrive, easily penetrating the dermis when the protective barrier of the epidermis and its normal microflora is disrupted, as well as when immunity is reduced.

Thus, with acne the following are noted:

• Increased sebum secretion, mainly in the so-called T-zone (forehead, nose, chin);
• Primary non-inflammatory elements are various types of comedones: (whiteheads or milia
  , blackheads, microcysts, etc.);
• Inflammatory elements such as red pimples or papules
  and
  pustules
  (red around the periphery with a white head in the center);
• Deep nodular skin lesions, stagnant spots and scars.

Treatment methods for acne within the walls of our clinic

Experienced dermatocosmetologists at our clinic, after examination, medical history and mandatory examination, prescribe an individual course of treatment.

Taking into account the degree of skin damage and the spread of the process, before performing the planned course of external procedures, it is possible to prescribe oral medications with a detoxifying effect, antibiotics, systemic retinoids, antiandrogens in women, and external pharmaceuticals for home care. When endocrine disorders are detected, their mandatory adequate hormonal correction is carried out.

Acne (acne disease) has various forms of manifestation and severity. Occurring in adolescence, the disease can drag on for several years and continue into adulthood. Scars and scars, age spots and congestive spots, as accompanying destructive elements in the outcome of the disease, remaining for life, create serious psychological discomfort.

Modern professional equipment, products and methods used in our clinic successfully treat not only acne, but also eliminate their consequences - post-acne (pigment spots, scars, stagnant bluish spots)

.

Procedures such as:

• a comprehensive procedure for manual atraumatic facial cleansing
  using certified cosmeceuticals from the world's leading manufacturers;
• chemical and enzymatic peelings
  using various active ingredients;
• injection methods of treatment - mesotherapy
  ,
  biorevitalization
  and
  bioreparation
  with anti-inflammatory, vascular components, microelements and vitamins;
• microcurrent therapy;
• injection carboxytherapy
  – microinjections of sterile CO2
• comprehensive treatment programs for the care of problem skin;
• acne laser treatment.

Laser treatment of acne (blackheads and pimples) is one of the most modern, versatile and effective procedures in the complex treatment of acne at any stage.

To treat acne and pimples with laser, as well as laser treatment for post-acne, our specialists use several types of professional lasers:

• Modern neodymium laser is actively used to relieve inflammation. Fotona SP Dynamis

  . Under the influence of laser beam energy, bacteria that produce porphyrin in the epidermal layers of the skin are destroyed by free radical oxygen formed when this same porphyrin is heated. The energy of the neodymium laser kills the bacterial flora and heats the vessels leading to the sebaceous glands, which significantly reduces the production of sebum. Inflammatory elements absorb long waves in the infrared spectrum and, as a result, chronic and acute processes are stopped. Anti-inflammatory laser treatment for acne is fast, effective and virtually painless. Very often, doctors at our clinic combine manual facial cleansing procedures with laser exposure.

• When treating enlarged pores, congestion and age spots with laser, several types of lasers are used: fractional non-ablative (without damaging the skin) erbium laser Palomar 1540

  
  IPL Quantum Lumenis
  high intensity light laser . When carrying out such procedures, metabolic processes are launched in the skin tissues, the work of skin fibroblasts is stimulated and, as a result, the synthesis of elastin and collagen is activated, which give the skin good elasticity. In addition, areas of hyperpigmentation are coagulated and lysed. Therefore, as a result of these procedures, not only the relief and color of the skin is evened out, but also its restoration.

• For laser treatment of post-acne (consequences of acne) - various scars, scars, dimples, etc. – actively used laser peels

  and
  laser skin resurfacing
  with erbium ablative (skin damage) lasers
  Fotona SP Dynamis
  and
  Palomar 2940
  . The procedures are performed under local anesthesia. After completing the manipulations, a special ointment is applied to the patient’s skin, which protects it from possible injury and infection. The skin heals in 1 – 6 days (it all depends on the specific procedure performed and its intensity). The end result of such effects is smooth and even skin.

The number of laser procedures for the treatment of acne and acne, post-acne treatment, as well as the intensity of laser exposure is determined by a dermatologist in accordance with the Global Acne Severity Scale (GSS).

Dermabrasion

Another painful procedure aimed at combating the consequences of acne - spots, scars. During dermabrasion, the patient is subjected to local anesthesia and begins to cleanse the face with a special brush, as a result of which the entire top layer of facial skin is removed. Due to severe pain during the procedure, anesthesia is given. Recovery takes a long time and the effect is different for everyone. Swelling and crusts are possible.

My review: I do not recommend this procedure in the fight against acne under any circumstances. Dermabrasion does not always leave behind perfectly smooth skin, as cosmetologists promise.

How to remove acne marks at home

It is difficult to completely remove dark spots left after acne at home. Removing acne marks will take time. If the rashes are numerous and the inflammatory process is severe, then complex treatment will be required. Decoctions and masks effectively relieve inflammation.

Acne leaves behind dark marks. In order to remove them at home, you can make face masks. They may include different components. But you need to understand that masks will not have a very strong effect. If there are serious scars, they will not help, but the red spots left over from acne will fade.

You can remove acne spots at home using badyagu. This is a very effective remedy. A pinch of badyagi powder should be diluted with a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide. The paste is applied pointwise to pimples and dark spots; after drying, the mixture is washed with a dry cloth. This way you can quickly get rid of sores on your face. Once the main stains have been removed, you can tackle the smaller spots.

Natural clay has been and remains an excellent skin whitening product for many centuries. By mixing it with rosemary oil, you can get a composition that will be effective even with severe acne marks.

Women are bothered by acne spots, how to get rid of them? This question is often asked to doctors by clients of cosmetology centers. It is important to note that treatment methods are selected based on the patient’s skin condition. There is no general recipe.

You can whiten acne spots on your face by using baking soda. But you should not get carried away with this remedy, because it can cause irritation. Mix soda with water and apply to the face, gently massage the spots.

Essential oils, such as tea tree oil, lemon or lavender, have proven themselves to be excellent. To avoid harming the skin, essential oils should be applied in drops.

Badyaga and clay

You can whiten pigment spots after acne with blue clay. There are ready-made masks for sale in stores; with their help, women can quickly get rid of dermatological problems. The masks contain not only clay, but also vitamins, oils and other components that have a beneficial effect on the skin.

Light and smooth skin visually makes a woman younger. How to whiten your face? Procedures aimed at whitening spots and removing tan should be carried out in the fall.

Mesotherapy

There are many positive reviews about the procedure, but experts do not give an unambiguous assessment of its effectiveness. The essence is to introduce chemical components under the skin. At the end of the cleansing, procedures are carried out to restore water balance and restore blood flow. Cryomassage is used. Liquid nitrogen is used for massage.

My review: no matter what cocktails of chemical components are injected under your skin, the result is the same - mesotherapy is absolutely ineffective in the fight against acne. I will note one trick of cosmetologists: they promise the effect after completing a full course of mesotherapy and dilute it into 7-10 procedures at once.

We looked at 7 popular acne treatments that are done in beauty salons. All procedures, as you noticed, affect the top layer of skin. We get a scrub effect - clean skin without dead cells. The acne was and remains the same. This begs the question: does it make sense to do salon treatments? The choice, of course, is yours.

Preparation before salon treatments for getting rid of acne

Before starting acne treatment sessions using cosmetic techniques, the specialist will tell you a few simple rules that will help the skin prepare for any type of impact, as well as maintain the results for a long time:

1. It is necessary to visit a doctor first to find out the cause of the appearance of a large number of acne and pimples. Any salon cleaning is an external effect. If you do not eliminate or stop the problem from the inside, then after some time it will return, money and effort will be wasted.
2. Use cleansing care products daily that suit your individual skin type. This will help get rid of excess impurities, partially restore sebum secretion processes, and significantly reduce the frequency of inflammation and their intensity. In some cases, it turns out that simply careful care is enough to get rid of the problem of acne.
3. Switch to a healthier diet. The daily menu significantly affects the condition of the skin and the whole body, so it is worth eliminating fatty, fried, sweet, and unhealthy foods from your diet and, a couple of weeks before salon therapy, switch to a diet rich in vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to the skin.
4. Quitting smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol, because These habits are rightfully considered the most harmful factors contributing to the appearance of acne. To ensure that the salon procedure goes smoothly and the skin condition does not return to its original state, it is best to get rid of these bad habits.
5. Normalization of the daily routine. The body tolerates external and internal interference much better if its condition is normal and there is no stress or lack of sleep.
6. Pre-cleaning. Any salon acne treatment procedure requires mandatory treatment of the skin with cleansing and antiseptic agents. The doctor himself performs this manipulation before starting therapy.

Failure to comply with these rules may lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the procedure and short-lived positive results.
