How to make at home?
Many beauty fans are wondering if it is possible to carry out such a procedure at home, because it is much more convenient and cheaper: you do not need to go to the salon and overpay for the work of the master, depending on his prestige.
In fact, you can carry out such a procedure at home. It is quite possible to go to a store of specialized medical equipment and purchase a device for vacuum facial cleansing, which, nevertheless, is not cheap, since it is not designed for private use by one person or within the same family. However, it is not so simple to carry out such a procedure on your own, especially without having experience. It will take a person who knows how to handle this device and has the necessary skills to carry out the procedure without damaging the skin.
It is also very important to comply with the so-called procedure rules, that is, start cleaning with the removal of dust and dirt from the skin of the face with a special product, then steam it out and carry out the final soothing procedures at the end. In the salon, high-quality professional cosmetics are used for this, which are of high cost. The use of suitable products that are effective and appropriate for the skin type of a particular person is very important for the final result.
In other words, although vacuum cleaning can be done at home, it will most likely be much less efficient and safe than in the cabin, and it will also be much more expensive.
It is better to choose a salon that is trustworthy and pass yourself into the hands of a professional than to independently conduct complex and potentially dangerous in inept hands manipulations with your own appearance.
How are cosmetologists doing the procedure?
The procedure for cleansing the skin with a vacuum in the cabin takes place in several stages. All of them are aimed at preparing the skin for the procedure, and after cleansing itself it is safe to remove it from this state and prolong the effect.
Every knowledgeable cosmetologist begins the process of vacuum facial cleansing by cleansing the skin of the remnants of cosmetics and dust that could settle on it while the client got to the salon. It is recommended to come to such procedures without any cosmetic products on the skin. It is better to just wash with water without special tools. However, it is better to play it safe.
Then it is necessary to steam the pores. This is done so that the result of exposure to a vacuum apparatus is more effective, because it will be much easier to pull all the contaminants from previously opened pores. For this purpose, the master can apply special lotions and masks that expand the pores of the skin, or use a special steam generator. This step is required before starting the procedure.
Then follows the use of the apparatus for cleaning and its impact on the skin. This procedure takes 20-30 minutes. Each plot is carefully processed once. Sometimes manual cleaning of some particularly difficult areas may be required. This is normal practice because combining the two types of cleanings allows you to achieve the best result.
The final stage of the procedure is skin soothing. Here it is necessary not only to calm the skin if redness and irritation appear, but also to close the pores. Then pollution and dust do not penetrate into it.
For this, cosmetologists use special masks with a cooling and pore-narrowing effect, light peels that also tighten pores, or other cosmetics. This process may be accompanied by a light massage. This step must be carried out so that the vacuum cleaning procedure is performed correctly.
After cleaning, it is important to properly care for your skin at home. On the same day, it is not recommended to use any detergents for the face, especially scrubs and peels. It will be enough to wash with ordinary water, not too hot or cold.
The next couple of days you need to be attentive to skin care. Ideally, you should use only mild cleansing lotions or a milk with a safe composition. Excluded alcohol lotions, oils and acid serums. During this period, the skin may begin to peel off or discomfort appears. This is a rather rare occurrence, but, nevertheless, it is worth paying attention to it.
In addition, you should not start using creams and foundation with a dense texture immediately after the procedure. It is necessary to give the skin a rest and recover.
You can return to your usual cosmetology routine two days after cleaning. You can begin to nourish your skin with moisturizing masks and creams with a light texture. Aloe gel is also suitable for this, both as a light base for makeup and as a moisturizing mask.
It will be possible to treat microdamages with soothing infusions in the form of compresses. To do this, you can brew chamomile, calendula or sage flowers, cool to room temperature and use. In addition, slightly brewed green tea is good.
Possible complications
After a vacuum facial cleansing procedure, side effects and complications do not occur so often. Sometimes irritation or slight peeling may be observed, which is absolutely normal, especially in the case of dry skin.
Most often, negative reactions on the skin after cleansing occur as a result of a violation of the rules for choosing a procedure for the face. For example, a person with rosacea may well expect negative consequences for his health if he neglected the instructions.
In addition, side effects occur due to improper skin care at home. But if you follow all the rules, vacuum cleaning will be one of the safest and most pleasant procedures to give the skin beauty and health.
