Chemical Peeling / Skin Cleansing / Treatments with cosmetic products
Chemical Peeling (Easy TCA peel/only Touch peel).
The philosophy behind chemical peels is essentially the very deep cleansing of the skin by removing the surface layers consisting of the dead cells of the keratin layer. Fine wrinkles are smoothed and hyperpigmented spots, discolorations and freckles are softened. Acne scars are improved and the skin is regenerated from its lower living layers, leaving it even, radiant and free from the signs of photoaging and age.
There are different types of chemical peeling depending on the depth we want to go into the skin. The most superficial are peelings with fruit acids (AHA) used mainly by dermatologists and beauticians. In our practice, peeling with trichloroacetic acid (easy TCA peel) is used, which goes deeper than simple peelings for better results. It is a treatment that treats from the simple “fatigue” of the skin, to intense pimples and unsightly spots on the hands, depending on the protocol that will be applied to each patient.
Indications:
Photoaging, “smoker’s” skin. Melasma after pregnancy, Spots, spots and pigmented areas, Fine laugh lines around the eyes and smoker’s lines around the mouth, Acne marks, superficial keratoses, Used on face, neck, décolleté and hands.
Treatment protocol:
In most cases 4 peeling sessions are recommended, 1 every week. It is very important to follow this specific protocol to avoid reactive minarization. The procedure is painless and the patient can immediately return to his activities. A special post peel mask is applied in the form of a cream with a very high vitamin content that must not be washed off for the next 12 hours. The next day a slight redness appears as if you have been exposed to the sun and after 2-3 days a slight peeling begins which lasts about 1 week then the next Peel is applied. In some areas with a more intense problem, e.g. spots, the peeling can be done several times locally, as a result of which a temporary microdermabrasion will appear that will subside with the end of the peeling. You can use make-up normally.
It is very important to hydrate the skin very well throughout the treatment because it helps to exfoliate and regenerate the skin faster. Direct exposure to solar radiation (sunbathing) is prohibited and sun protection of the skin is necessary.
Chemical peels are very easy and effective on almost all skin types. However, the best results are seen in normal and oily skins with a tendency to produce sebum and in those that darken strongly due to the influence of solar radiation. Applying them once a year during the winter months gets rid of dull and lackluster skin and discolorations and are often used to prepare the skin before mesotherapy or facelift.
Face cleaning:
Facial cleansing is the beginning of a clean skin. When we clean our face, there is better oxygenation of the cells and regeneration of the keratin layer, resulting in a healthy skin, shiny and without signs of oiliness or dryness. By cleansing, we help our skin to eliminate toxins and atmospheric pollution. Results are immediate with pore and blemish improvement, smooth and soft to the touch that needs less make up for a vibrant look.
The cleaning process is simple, without pain or marks after its application.
After cleaning the skin with emulsion-lotion, we perform a small exfoliation with peeling to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin. Then begins the process of steam which helps us to open the pores and eliminate toxins from the skin.
When we’re done with the steam, we begin to open the sebum (i.e. remove the sebum from the pores) and then apply a mask with anti-inflammatory and soothing properties to calm the skin.
After cleansing, we usually apply moisturizing masks to restore the skin’s moisture. The cleaning process lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes.
It is recommended for all skin types and especially for those that are dull with sebum and closed pores, acne-prone and heavily oily. The treatment should be applied 3-4 times a year.
Treatments with products:
In order to have a young, healthy and glowing skin, we must take care of and treat its surface as well. One way to achieve our above goals is to apply frequent moisturizing and firming treatments with products that work on the keratin layer of the skin and a little deeper than that. In our clinic, we offer each patient personalized programs of aesthetic treatments for the face, neck and décolleté, depending on the needs of the skin. Juliette Armand company products are used. We chose this particular company for the high quality of its products based on long-term research, and for the proven results they have. The factors that will help us choose the treatment are the condition of the skin, age, skin type and its sensitivity. Each patient is unique and based on a good assessment, we will apply the right treatment that suits you, covering all the needs for reversing the signs of aging, nourishing and moisturizing the skin.
Treatment Protocols
On an oily skin:
We start with exfoliation, using peeling granules that remove dead cells without causing skin irritation, revealing a brighter and more radiant complexion. After applying the peeling, we will apply a mask with cleansing properties to the oily skin to remove the oiliness of the skin and from the deeper layers. A mask that will help us achieve our goal is the clay mask, with a cleansing and astringent action suitable for mixed and oily skin. After removing the mask and our skin is clean and dry, we will hydrate it using a hyaluronic acid serum to moisturize and strengthen the skin’s cohesion and to prevent and treat dehydrated skin. Together with the serum we will strengthen with a moisturizing cream for daily use that does not weigh down oily skin.
On a dry skin:
On the contrary, a dry and tired skin needs deep hydration to give food to the skin cells resulting in skin rejuvenation. After applying a mild peeling with cocoa beans to avoid skin irritation or injury, we strengthen with a collagen and elastin serum for deep hydration and strengthening of the connective tissue. Then we will apply a mask with vitamin C which has a strong moisturizing, antioxidant and whitening effect. Finally, we give the skin more moisture with a cream rich in moisturizing elements.
For skin with strong signs of age and major sagging:
We choose treatments with products that will be based mainly on firming agents but also on moisturizers to help us restore the skin’s tone that it loses over time. After applying the peeling, we massage the skin with moisturizing and firming serums that offer an intense and immediate firming effect. Then we apply a mask with a powerful cocktail of collagen, elastin, vitamins and hyaluronic acid, ingredients that strengthen the skin’s support tissues and smooth wrinkles. Finally, we will use a regenerative cream, which keeps the skin’s collagen and elastin at high levels.
All treatments can be combined, depending on the needs of each patient, with botox, wrinkle filling with Hyaluronic acid, tightening and deep injection hydration programs, or with the necessary surgical interventions. The goal is a radiant, healthy face without signs of sagging, free from the signs of sun and age. It goes without saying that sun protection all year round on the exposed parts of our body is necessary not only for a shiny, healthy and youthful skin, without wrinkles and signs of photoaging, but also for protection against very dangerous damage caused to the skin by solar radiation.
