To summarize the above, ultrasonic cleaning is a godsend for people with sensitive skin, mechanical - for owners of oily and problem skin, chemical - for skin requiring renewal.

When is the best time to clean your skin?

Any kind of cleansing should be applied regularly, but not too often. For problematic, oily skin, it should be done no more than four times a year, for dry and sensitive skin - no more than twice a year. The best period for such cosmetic manipulations is autumn-winter, when the activity of the sun decreases. It must be remembered that after any method of cleansing for some period of time (this should be mentioned by a specialist), it is worth using sunscreen.

For maximum efficiency the procedure is not recommended to clean less than ten days before the onset of menstruation and during it, since during this period the sebaceous glands are most active, the procedure will not give the expected result.

It is possible that problematic skin is outward manifestation diseases internal organs or the result of a hormonal imbalance. So if no method of cleansing the skin helps you, you should go to a dermatologist, endocrinologist and gastroenterologist.

Ultrasonic facial peeling is a fairly new procedure. It is suitable for different ages and is considered one of the most gentle in its field. Most often, ultrasonic facial peeling is aimed at clearing the upper layer of the epidermis, removing acne and excess sebum. At the same time, such an intervention does not affect the aging process of the skin in any way, which cannot be said about ordinary peeling.

Indications for the procedure are: the presence of mixed or oily skin with acne or post-acne (scars, ruts), enlarged pores. Peeling is also suitable for unhealthy complexion. After the procedure, blood circulation in the skin cells improves, which contributes to its better hydration.

This type of peeling does not require preliminary steaming of the face (as, for example, mechanical). Before the session, the skin is treated with mineral water or a special gel, which makes it possible to achieve better conductivity of ultrasonic waves. During the session, the beautician works with the main massage lines of the face. The wave from the device crushes dead skin cells, excess sebum and removes all unnecessary. As a rule, all this takes no more than half an hour.

During the session, the master uses a special spatula that vibrates due to ultrasound. With the help of this spatula, active substances are injected into the skin. Ultrasound heats the surface of the face to a temperature of 40-45°C, which allows you to expand the blood vessels and increase the amount of oxygen entering the cells. In addition, the acoustic wave reduces stagnation and swelling in the tissues.

Of particular note is the painlessness of the procedure and the absence of injuries. After ultrasonic peeling, there will be no redness or inflammation, the only thing is that the skin may turn slightly pink, but this will pass in a few hours and will not cause any inconvenience. The effect of the procedure is immediately visible, no recovery period is required. However, often clients are advised to repeat the session after a week to consolidate the result. But for people with oily and problematic skin, you will probably have to visit a beautician more than once a month (this schedule of visits is recommended if there are no special problems).

The main results that ultrasonic peeling helps to achieve:

• elasticity and silkiness of the skin;
• narrowing of pores;
• freshness of the face with a visual effect of rejuvenation (the procedure tones the epidermis).

The final result, however, will depend on the condition of the skin at the beginning of the session. However, there are various reviews about ultrasonic facial peeling. And this indicates that the procedure is still not universal.

Myths about the procedure and contraindications for use

It is customary to think that the word "peeling" in itself is a guarantor of rejuvenation, but this is far from being the case. Of course, after the procedure, the face will look refreshed and toned, but not enough to make its owner five years younger. The same applies to age spots, which, contrary to the expectations of some clients, ultrasonic peeling will not help to get rid of. Another myth is the opinion that this procedure has no contraindications. The list of contraindications that should be noted in this regard is quite impressive, since peeling is not suitable:

• Pregnant and lactating women
• People with hypertension and cancer
• Having pustular rashes or irritations on the skin
• For those with a pacemaker
• Sick people, if the disease (any) is in the acute stage, suffering from mental disorders

All these categories of people cannot resort to this procedure, since the consequences can be unpredictable. It is also worth abandoning peeling for people who have recently undergone facial surgery. In addition, a number of clients noted that the session was quite painful. In different cases, this may be due either to the individual characteristics of the organism, or to an insufficiently well-performed procedure.

Prices for the procedure of ultrasonic peeling

It should be noted that prices for ultrasonic facial peeling are quite reasonable today. So, on average, one session of such a procedure will cost about $ 40. At the same time, many clients do not need a second visit to the beautician. Not infrequently, promotions are held in salons, and this service falls into the category of those offered at a discount. In addition, there are special devices that can be purchased for home use and perform ultrasonic cleaning at home.

Summing up

Ultrasonic peeling is a fairly popular procedure. This is due to its availability, effectiveness and lack of a rehabilitation period. The latter fact allows you to peel at any time, even during your lunch break at work. However, with all the positivity of this method, one should not forget about contraindications. If in doubt, it is better to go to an experienced beautician and consult with him first.

Reviews and opinions about the procedure

“I have oily skin, so I used to do a manual facial cleansing every month. After it, spots and puffiness remained for a long time. On the advice of a friend, I did an ultrasound peel. My review is positive: the procedure is fast, painless and inexpensive. After it, the face immediately becomes fresh and toned.

Elena, Yekaterinburg.

“I paid a little more than 11 thousand for a course of six sessions. After peeling, age spots brightened, the oval of the face slightly smoothed out, the skin became fresher and more elastic. But the effect was barely enough for 2.5 months, although I was promised six months or a year. I won’t apply again, it’s too expensive.”

Tatyana, Krasnodar.

“After ultrasonic peeling, the face was cleared of age spots, dark circles under the eyes and oily sheen. The process does not cause discomfort, the price is quite acceptable. Among the shortcomings, I note the irritation that did not leave the face for several days.

Anna, Nizhny Novgorod.

“After the first session of ultrasonic peeling, I was disappointed. There were no positive changes, but traces of irritation lasted for almost three days. True, the cosmetologist immediately warned me that facial care was cumulative, and prescribed 5 procedures. I decided to continue treatment, as it turned out, not in vain. Noticeable improvements began to occur after the second cleansing of the face. As a result, the skin noticeably brightened, became smooth, makeup lays down evenly. People around say that I have become prettier and look younger than my age.

Oksana, St. Petersburg.

“From a young age, I suffer from acne on my face. The skin is quickly greasy, has an unhealthy appearance, it requires constant care. You have to steam it and squeeze out black dots. I heard rave reviews about ultrasonic peeling from an employee. The price seemed attractive. I was examined in a beauty salon, no contraindications were found and a course of 10 sessions was prescribed. Overall, it turned out to be much more expensive than I expected at first. But besides cleansing my face, they gave me a massage and nourishing masks. All treatments were completed within 5 weeks. The result is wonderful, the skin is clean for three months now. As soon as it starts to get dirty, I will definitely go to the salon. ”
