Yellow peeling: features and process

Improper nutrition, stress, poor ecology and hard work make the skin of a modern woman lifeless and dull. And if you neglect the timely and effective care of the epidermis, you can look much older than your age. Fortunately, cosmetologists know exactly what to do so that the skin recovers quickly and shines again with health. To do this, you need to perform a number of skin care procedures, one of which is yellow peeling.

This procedure includes a set of effective measures for chemical exfoliation of the keratinized layers of the epidermis. At the same time, it is possible not only to renew tissues, but also to eliminate the external manifestations of age-related changes, restore the skin and even lighten age spots. Peeling got its name due to the fact that the product applied to the skin has a beautiful yellow color. This color is due to the presence of ascorbic acid in the peeling. But the main component of the yellow peeling is retinoic acid. It is an organic substance with which you can quickly activate the regeneration of skin cells, as well as accelerate the synthesis of fibroplasts.

Yellow peeling can be applied to the face, eyelids, neck, décolleté and hands. As a result of the action of the active components, the skin becomes more fresh, updated, beautiful and well-groomed. The protective properties of cells are significantly increased.

The indisputable advantages of the procedure include:

• absolute painlessness - no burning and discomfort;
• almost complete absence of complications;
• quick skin recovery after the procedure - active exfoliation takes place after 3-7 days;
• immediate result - you will notice an improvement in the skin after the first session;
• universality - suitable for absolutely any type of skin, even for sensitive skin;
• has no age limit for patients;
• delicate effect on skin tissue;
• allows you to cope with all the basic imperfections of the skin;
• peeling is allowed to be performed in the summer, while most other procedures are usually transferred to the winter and off-season;
• the duration of the result - it lasts up to six months;
• the full course of procedures is quite short - on average, it takes only 5 sessions to completely restore the skin.

If we compare the effect of the components of yellow peeling with other drugs, then most of all it is similar to the effect of hormones of 2 types: steroid and thyroid. And compared with 1 session of applying glycolic acid, the use of retinoic is 10 times more effective.

But despite the huge list of advantages of the procedure, it has several disadvantages:

• The effect of yellow peeling on the skin should be quite long. Therefore, after completion of the procedure, the yellow composition is not washed off. You will have to do it yourself, already at home, after a few hours. Of course, all this time you can stay in the cosmetology clinic, but not every patient has a lot of free time. However, if you plan the procedure for a day off, you can easily cope with such inconveniences.
• Immediately after peeling, it is strictly not recommended to go to the seashores, since intense solar radiation can damage the skin and lead to hyperpigmentation, which will then take a long time to remove. However, some peeling procedures are not allowed at all in the summer. Therefore, yellow peeling is the only alternative among such procedures.
• Also, some patients note that after yellow peeling, they notice mild itching on the skin. But this effect is not manifested in all.

As you can see, in comparison with all the advantages of the procedure, the listed shortcomings look completely uncritical.

To begin with, it is important to understand the terminology. Many people confuse retinoic and retinol peels, but these are 2 different procedures. The main difference is in the composition of the funds: the main component of the yellow peeling is retinol, vitamin A. Retinoevoj is an organic acid, which has a more intensive therapeutic effect.

Also yellow peeling is divided into 2 categories depending on the duration of the procedure.

• One day. This is the most common and beloved by women option for performing yellow peeling. Among its main advantages are a quick recovery period, minimal swelling and redness. The procedure is divided into 2 stages: the first is performed in the cosmetology booth, and the second can be done at home. The specialist prepares the patient’s skin for peeling and applies a special tool, all this will take only about half an hour. Further, the patient can already independently, at home, repeat the application of yellow peeling. It is necessary to leave the composition on the skin until morning, and then completely wash it off.
• Two day. This type of peeling is already more complex and requires significantly more time. For about 4 hours, the active substance is applied to the skin and washed off, applied again, etc. The final layer of exfoliant must be kept on the skin for 2 hours. Therefore, a woman can wash it off on her own upon arrival home. But the procedure does not end there. On the second day, you must repeat the entire sequence of actions. These manipulations take a lot of time, but the result will be simply amazing.

This cosmetic procedure is divided into types not only by time, but also by the degree of impact on skin tissue.

Depending on this, yellow peeling happens:

• Surface. It has the most delicate effect on the epidermis, therefore it is even suitable for application to delicate and thin skin around the eyes. Also, experts recommend making it to people with very sensitive skin. But surface peeling should be done no more often than 1 time per month.
• Median. This procedure has a more intense effect on the skin and gives a pronounced exfoliating effect. Therefore, median peeling is ideal for women who want to get rid of facial pigmentation. One session takes about 4 hours, takes 2 days. The number of procedures is directly dependent on the condition of the skin and the desired result. On average, complete renewal and whitening of the skin can be achieved after 2 weeks.

Depending on the origin of the components in the active substance for the procedure, it can be synthetic and natural. Synthetic yellow peeling is performed using a highly concentrated substance. It is applied twice every other day. The effect of such a substance is quite strong, similar to median peeling. Natural peeling is much softer and more delicate.

You can make an appointment with a beautician to do a yellow peeling if you have noticeable facial wrinkles, hyperpigmentation of the skin or freckles, hyperkeratosis, scars and bumps on the skin. It also helps to cope with problem skin and quickly improve its appearance. However, at some stages of acne, peels are contraindicated, so it is imperative to consult a dermatologist. Also, an indication for the procedure is skin aging, dull complexion, loss of elasticity and firmness. Anyone between the ages of 25 and 50 can do this. If you are not yet 25 years old, but want to try peeling, do this only after agreeing on such a decision with your doctor.

Regarding many other peeling options, yellow is the safest. However, there are a number of limitations to its application.

We list the most important of them:

• individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
• severe somatic ailments;
• acute inflammatory processes;
• rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, rosacea;
• liver problems (hepatitis);
• herpes and purulent rashes on the surface of the skin;
• taking medications that contain vitamin A.

The listed contraindications can be applied to almost any cosmetic effects on the skin. But a specific and extremely important point that you should know about yellow peeling is its embryotoxicity. Retinoic acid is retained in the tissues for several months, due to which a lasting positive effect is achieved. However, this property of the substance can be harmful to women during pregnancy and lactation. Moreover, after peeling with retinoid content, experts strongly recommend using reliable contraceptives to prevent pregnancy for 6-12 months. After all, an increased concentration of vitamin A in the body negatively affects the development of the fetus.

But do not be afraid of these contraindications. If you follow all the rules for working with active substances, you will get well-groomed, radiant health young skin without any consequences.

In order for the effect of any cosmetic procedure to be fully achieved, it is imperative to complete the preparation for the session in accordance with all the rules. Specifically, before the yellow peeling, preparation begins in no less than 14 days, and preferably in a month.

Here are a number of mandatory preparatory procedures:

• Make an appointment with a dermatologist to conduct a thorough examination of the epidermis. It is important to exclude all possible contraindications to the procedure, as well as determine the degree of intensity and number of yellow peeling sessions. You will also need to necessarily do a pregnancy test, even if you are completely sure that you are not pregnant.
• Make an individual intolerance test for all components of the active substance. This ensures that problems are eliminated after the session.
• At least 2 weeks before the first cleansing procedure, it is necessary to start using light surface-based products that contain fruit acids. You can also add creams or ointments based on retinoids with a concentration of not more than 0.1% to daily care. This will help soften skin tissues and prepare them for chemical effects.

• If your skin is hypersensitive and dry, it is recommended that you do at least one mesotherapy session before dry cleaning. You can also do biorevitalization. If you combine these procedures, you will increase the ability of cells to recover. It will also be an excellent preventive measure to prevent possible complications.
• Those women whose skin often appears cold sores or purulent inflammation, it is better to take drugs in advance to help prevent the disease.
• At least 7-10 days before peeling, it is forbidden to visit the solarium or to be under intense exposure to sunlight.

Yellow peeling can really be done not only in the cosmetology office, but also at home. However, this is a rather serious procedure that requires certain skills and knowledge. In addition, at the disposal of specialists there is always only the best drugs, time-tested. Therefore, cosmetologists strongly do not recommend conducting such dry cleaning at home if you want to achieve a truly effective result and avoid negative consequences.

Consider the main stages of peeling in the salon:

1. Skin cleansing. Even if you did not apply makeup, the epidermis must be well cleaned of dust, sebum and other impurities.
2. Application of the active substance. Using a soft brush, the cosmetologist distributes the product on the entire surface of the treated area. The result is something like a yellow mask.

Further, the sequence of actions depends on the type of peeling preparation. If you have a one-day procedure, then after applying the product, the patient goes home, receiving detailed instructions from a specialist on how and when to wash off the mask. If the procedure lasts 2 days, then the specialist makes several applications and rinses of the active substance, repeating the entire procedure completely on the second day.

Each peeling preparation is accompanied by a separate application manual, which determines all the details of the procedure. But in general, for many tools, the steps are the same.

In order to maximize the result from yellow peeling, it is important not only to follow the rules of preparation and execution of the procedure. It is imperative to take care of your skin even after cleansing. This is due to the fact that the active anti-aging effect of the components that make up the yellow peeling does not stop even several months after the completion of the procedure. Cells are renewed for another 3-4 months, contrary to the popular belief that the recovery period after chemical exposure ends after a few days or a week.

If the mask needs to be washed off at home, and not in the beauty parlor, it is necessary to do this very carefully and with special care so that there are no traces of the drug on the face. This must be done using a large amount of water and, in some cases, mild soap. Specific recommendations should be prescribed by your doctor. After the drug is completely removed from the skin, redness will be noticeable on it, a clear feeling of tightness or even slight itching will appear. If peeling was applied to the area around the eyes, the eyelids may swell slightly.

After washing, it is permissible to apply the required amount of a healing ointment to the skin (Bepanten, Panthenol). This will significantly reduce the unpleasant feeling of tightness and speed up the healing process of tissues. Sometimes specialists prescribe a prescription for various hormonal drugs to patients to reduce swelling and redness. But it is better to abandon such funds, since they will violate the immune system of already damaged skin. Also, some patients may have chills and fever on the second day after peeling. Do not worry about this and take any medications. This condition will pass by itself.

Redness begins to decrease already on the 3rd day after the procedure. Following this, the tissues inevitably begin to peel off. It is due to exfoliation of keratinized particles of the skin that a rejuvenating and smoothing effect is achieved. Some patients note that there is no peeling during the rehabilitation period at all. This is due to the fact that the small exfoliated skin flakes are so small and thin that you can simply not notice how they disappear during washing.

In the first week after chemical peeling, you can not:

• go to the bathhouse and sauna - so you only increase the swelling and redness of the tissues;
• visit the public pool - you increase the risk of infection in the skin;
• perform heavy physical exercises - increased sweating can trigger the development of acne;
• sunbathing in the sun and in the solarium - this will lead to the appearance of age spots, which then will have to be removed for a long time.

A week after the procedure, the skin will still tighten a bit, so you will need to regularly apply special moisturizing non-comedogenic creams that the dermatologist will select for you individually. Also, the face will become noticeably lighter. This effect is caused by a strong decrease in the production of melanin in the cells. If the skin contains closed comedones and rashes that you want to remove, in no case do this. Mechanical cleaning can only be done at least 14 days after the chemical peeling procedure.

A full opinion on the results of the procedure can be made only after a month. You will notice that the skin has become noticeably cleaner, radiant, smooth and toned. The complexion will become even and beautiful.

• Do not perform chemical peeling on the eve of an important event or vacation.
• Be sure to do a full course of procedures. Indeed, in some cases, to achieve the optimal result, one session is not enough.
• Yellow peeling can be done in the summer. But if possible, it is still worthwhile to postpone such a procedure for winter or autumn. This will help you prevent premature photoaging of tissues.
• With special scrupulousness and responsibility, approach the choice of a cosmetologist. Be sure to ask him about experience and qualifications. Chemical peeling is a rather serious procedure, and only real professionals should trust it.
• Pay special attention to skin care during the recovery period.It depends on how well the effect of the procedure will be.

Recently, the yellow peeling procedure is becoming increasingly popular. On the Internet you can find hundreds of reviews of patients who have already done this procedure. However, not every woman immediately decides on chemical peeling, since not everyone can afford to appear at work with noticeable peeling on her face and without makeup. But then those girls who nevertheless did dry cleaning are just delighted with the procedure. For a long time to hold the drug on the face, perform repeated procedures and endure, although insignificant, but still painful sensations, few people want. But after the manifestation of the result, it becomes clear that the efforts were not in vain.

Many patients who once suffered from acne of varying severity used peeling to remove scars and skin irregularities - the so-called post-acne. For these purposes, yellow peeling is perfect. There are also many positive reviews from women in adulthood. Using a full course of procedures, they were able to significantly reduce the number of wrinkles, tighten the skin, restore its smoothness and elasticity.

Most patients who were dissatisfied with the effect of the procedure usually simply did not follow the cosmetologist's recommendations for skin care or did not have enough sessions, or did not do a preliminary test for individual intolerance to the components. Another most common reason for the poor result from the procedure is the choice of an unskilled specialist who failed to properly explain all the subtleties of this specific cosmetic procedure.
