Enzyme peeling

This is a superficial type of peel, where not acids, but enzymes are used in the role of active components. The procedure for the skin is relatively non-traumatic and is suitable for almost any type of dermis, including those suffering from hypersensitivity and rosacea. With the help of enzyme peeling, you can qualitatively cleanse the skin from all kinds of impurities, even out the skin's relief and give it a healthy color. No rehabilitation is required and no peeling or pigmentation occurs after the procedure.

How enzyme peels are done

Enzyme peeling is performed in five main stages:

1. First, there is a complete cleansing of the skin surface from cosmetics. For this, various preparations and lotions are used, depending on the type of skin.
2. Further, the peeling procedure itself takes place. The composition is applied to the dermis of the face, in a certain sequence: on the forehead, cheeks, chin, cheekbones, nose, eyelids, lips, neck and décolleté. However, some formulations should not be applied to the eyes and mouth, otherwise it can negatively affect delicate skin. The duration of the composition depends on the purpose of its application, and can range from ten minutes to half an hour. Since the active substances included in the peeling love a humid and warm environment, after application, cover the face with a damp warm towel as a compress. For additional impact, a specialist can perform a massage. Enzyme peeling formulations can be already diluted and in tubes, or sold in powders.
3. In the third step, neutralization occurs, i.e. the peeling composition is removed from the dermis with warm water. If acids are included in the peeling, you will need to apply a special alkaline neutralizer.
4. The penultimate stage is the application of a mask that matches the skin problem. After peeling, the effectiveness of such formulations is much higher, since the active ingredients can penetrate deeply inside.
5. The final stage is the application of a special cream to the dermis of the face, which will protect it from the sun's rays.

At the time of the procedure, the client may feel a slight burning sensation and tingling sensation, this is normal and goes away on its own after a while. In some cases, redness may occur, but after half an hour everything disappears. The full course includes about eight procedures, one or two per week, depending on the type of dermis. Enzyme peels with acids held one every ten days, a total of five to ten sessions.

Reviews about enzyme peeling

Despite the apparent simplicity of the procedure, there are still complications. So, for example, if we talk about the salon option of self-care, then this is a competent selection of a specialist. A professional will always analyze the condition of the skin, after which he will select the product that is most suitable for the client. Only in this case the effect will be positive. Those girls who visited experienced specialists were very pleased with the procedure. After a course of procedures, it seems that the skin on the face really becomes different: without pigmentation (even if it was strongly pronounced before), acne and blackheads. Those who decided to save money on the procedure regretted it very much, since a poor-quality composition badly affects the condition of the skin.

If preference is given to self-peeling at home, then the problem of choosing a suitable product arises. Now there are many different drugs in different price ranges, which complicates the choice. Moreover, dear, does not at all say that he is good. Therefore, before buying the composition you like on the tube, read the reviews on it, and then make a decision on purchasing it.
