Features of the soft atraumatic facial cleansing procedure

Facial cleansing is the most popular procedure in beauty salons. Someone does it regularly, but someone still fears such an aggressive intervention, preferring home procedures. This is due to the fact that many still believe that cleaning is an extremely unpleasant process, after which redness still remains. This does not apply to atraumatic facial cleansing. Let's try to figure out what it is and what its advantages are.

The essence of this procedure is reflected in the name itself. Atraumatic - facial cleansing that does not damage the skin, but effectively removes dead cells and fights imperfections. After it, you will not see either strong redness, nor swelling or other undesirable consequences that can occur with aggressive mechanical cleaning.

By the mechanism of action, such cleaning can be compared with chemical peeling. But the latter uses more aggressive reagents, and it is indicated for serious imperfections such as deep wrinkles or scars.

The action of atraumatic face cleansing is more gentle. But this is enough to prevent serious skin problems. In addition, after chemical peeling, it takes at least several days to completely restore the skin.

The first important feature is the fact that atraumatic face cleansing can be done for people suffering from rosacea. The proximity of vessels to the surface makes it impossible to use conventional mechanical cleaning, as this can injure fragile vessels. Atraumatic cleaning is an excellent alternative in this case.

The second unique feature, because of which this procedure has become very widespread and customer love - this is the possibility of its use even in the presence of some inflammatory processes on the skin caused by infections or other factors.

Fruit acids simply burn out the infection, preventing it from spreading over the surface, and thereby significantly improve the general condition of the skin.

Conventional beauty salons do not provide such a service, since it requires special sterile conditions and a highly qualified specialist. By the way, you should not think that you have the right to independently determine whether it is possible in your case to do such a cleaning. Before making an appointment with a cosmetologist, be sure to consult a dermatologist for advice.

Atraumatic face cleansing has several advantages over other similar procedures.

The list of its advantages looks like this.

• Security. Choosing this procedure, you can be completely sure that it will not entail negative consequences. The vessels will remain intact, and there is virtually no risk of infection.
• Painlessness. Of course, for the sake of beauty, some fashionistas are ready to lie under the surgeon's knife. But more and more beauties prefer to prevent problems than to deal with the consequences later. A mild, painless cleansing procedure with fruit acids is one of those panaceas that can help you stay youthful and healthy skin without pain and unnecessary injuries.
• Perfect cleansing. It can be difficult for a master to remove black spots and other imperfections in places such as nose wings. The drugs applied during the non-traumatic cleaning procedure cope with this task without any problems, without causing you additional discomfort.

• No unwanted effects. After mechanical cleaning, microdamages occur on the face, which are not recommended to be masked by tonal means. Yes, and redness after chemical peeling will not let you go out that day. Such consequences are deprived of the procedure under consideration. You can safely make plans for the evening, even if you were at the cosmetologist’s lunch.
• A very important advantage is the minimum list of contraindications. And even if a dermatologist forbade you to do mechanical cleaning of your face, this does not mean that the situation is hopeless. Atraumatic face cleaning comes to the rescue even in the most difficult cases, while it is safe and effective.

• Does not dry skin. It is believed that fruit acids make the skin dry. But it is worth looking at the results of the procedure, and you will understand that this is not so. After removing the upper layer of the epidermis and sebaceous plugs, the skin begins to shine and delight you with tone and energy.
• Affordable price. Chemical peeling - “pleasure” is not cheap. By the way, it’s difficult to call it pleasure, since most customers who have tried this procedure notice discomfort and discomfort. Different types of atraumatic cleaning are much cheaper.
• Suitable for all skin types. A good specialist will determine which drugs are best for you. The variety of professional cosmetics used for cleaning makes this procedure truly universal.

There are much fewer than advantages. Some sources claim that they are not at all, but this is not true.

These are the minor disadvantages that this procedure still has.

• Due to the fact that cleaning is carried out using gentle means, its effect will also not be so deep. For example, you can’t get rid of blackheads or comedones right away. But still, improvements will be visible even to the naked eye.

• The need to repeat the procedure. The good news is that the validity period is quite significant and you will have to go to a cosmetologist for a second appointment only after 5 weeks.
• Possible allergic reactions. Each of us has individual characteristics that cannot be avoided. The same drug can work perfectly on one person, but cause itching and irritation on the skin of another. The task of an experienced master, before starting the procedure, is to choose the right composition that will be safe for the client.

Atraumatic facial cleansing involves the use of certain drugs. The right choice of the active substance is important.

• Glycolic. Perfectly exfoliates, while not drying out the skin. The drugs in which it is included penetrate perfectly into the skin, fortifying it and saturating it with necessary microelements

• Salicylic Known for its antiseptic properties. For this reason, it is often used for acne and inflammatory processes on the skin.

• Lemon. This active substance in the composition is not only able to rejuvenate the skin, but also to cope with age spots. Specialists choose such preparations for oily and combination skin types.

• Wine. If you want to get an even complexion, then this acid will help you do this with the least effort. It can also make moles and age spots less visible.

• Apple. Unique in its properties acid, which nourishes the skin with vitamins and minerals. The main advantage is that it contributes to the production of collagen. The skin becomes more elastic and youthful.

Atraumatic facial cleansing can be prescribed both for the prevention of age-related changes, and in the presence of certain problems. If you notice one or more of the following problems on your face, then, most likely, carrying out atraumatic cleaning will be useful.

• Black dots. Even if you clean your skin well every day and regularly use scrubs, this does not guarantee protection against the appearance of such a problem. It is the cleaning in question that can solve it and provide reliable prevention.

• Greasy pores. Unpleasant greasy shine is a problem for many. Ordinary cleansing with soap or special products is also powerless. The fact is that they do not cleanse the sebaceous ducts, which means that they do not eliminate the cause. Cleaning can penetrate more deeply, remove such unnecessary secretions and allow the skin to breathe.
• Dull complexion. Old keratinized cells are constantly removed from the surface of the face in a natural way, but this is not enough. In order for the skin to look truly fresh and healthy, it is necessary to constantly carry out such procedures to help it get rid of old cells and stimulate the growth of new ones.

• Enlarged pores. Agree, it does not look very aesthetically pleasing. And constantly masking them is also unsafe. Many cosmetics promise to make your face smooth and velvety, but not everyone can afford it. Comprehensively acting on the epidermis during all stages of cleaning, active substances help to achieve this result in the shortest possible time.
• Scars and bumps. To cope with serious imperfections, careful atraumatic cleaning is not within the power, but to make them less pronounced and invisible is completely in her power.

This procedure can also be applied even in cases where you do not have pronounced problems. Regular procedures (about once every 1.5-2 months) will provide prevention and professional care for the condition of the skin of the face.

As you know, there is no such procedure or drug that would suit everyone without exception.

Consider the reasons that may cause you to refuse atraumatic facial cleansing.

• Dermatitis. With this ailment, the skin is very vulnerable, and the additional effect on it even with fruit acids can have negative consequences.
• Allergy. Even if you are not allergic to the components included in the composition, although it is 100% difficult to be sure of this, be sure to consult a dermatologist, or refuse this type of cleaning.
• Wounds and burns. Such damage to the face are direct contraindications to the use of this method. The corrosive properties of acids can make things worse.

If you think that atraumatic facial cleansing is that the master will simply apply a certain composition to your face, you are mistaken.

This is a multi-level skin cleansing, which consists of several stages.

• Stage 1 - preparation. For maximum effect, the skin should be well cleaned. For this, special means are used. The specialist applies them in massaging movements and then easily removes them using cotton pads.
• Stage 2 - fruit peeling. A weakly concentrated composition is applied to the face to soften the upper layer of the epidermis and prepare the skin for more aggressive effects.
• Stage 3 - applying a concentrated composition. It is at this stage that all the magic happens. The upper layer of the epidermis softens, keratinized cells are removed, natural fat secretions and sebaceous plugs dissolve.

• Stage 4 - enzymatic peeling. Through the use of whey protein, all remaining contaminants are removed. At this stage, intense skin hydration occurs.
• Stage 5 - hydration. To enhance the effect and a calming effect, a kind of compress is applied to the face. Wipes soaked in moisturizer are left on the face for 10 minutes. Then they are removed, and the face is rubbed with lotion.
• Stage 6 - final. Its purpose is a calming effect. The mask, which is applied to the face, has the ability to relieve inflammation, redness and tighten pores.

The result without any inflammation, redness and swelling, you can observe a few hours after the procedure. The final restoration of the skin occurs the next day.

It is important not only to achieve the desired result, but also try to keep it for a long time.

Simple care procedures used after atraumatic face cleansing will help you with this.

• After the facial cleansing procedure, try not to use makeup for 2-3 days. Once in the cleansed open pores, she can clog them, and all efforts will be in vain.
• After cleaning, the skin is very vulnerable, so try not to expose it to aggressive environmental influences and other factors. Do not stay in direct sunlight for a long time. Refuse to visit the solarium and pool, try to avoid strong winds. All this can dry out or injure delicate skin.
• Follow the advice of the specialist who performed the procedure. Having assessed the condition and type of your skin, only he is able to give qualified advice on choosing tools for daily care of your face.

According to many women, auto-traumatic facial cleansing helped them cope with visible imperfections in the skin of the face and significantly improved its condition.
