Mechanical face cleaning - what is it? Description of the procedure, contraindications, reviews

The ecology of large megacities has a negative impact not only on our health, but also on the appearance, which is especially worried about the fair sex. In addition to this factor, skin problems can be caused by heredity, malnutrition and stress. To the aid comes the cleaning of the face mechanical.

What it is?

Expanded pores, pimples and comedones, frankly, create an unpleasant picture. Agree, problem skin can cause even a feeling of fastidiousness among others, not to mention the low self-esteem of its possessions.

Fortunately, today in almost every cosmetology room a professional face cleaning is available. Deep cleansing effectively removes black spots and acne, and exfoliates dead particles.

Owners of problem and oily skin are recommended to clean the face of a mechanical. What it is, it's pretty straightforward to guess: the wizard handles all the problem areas manually. Of course, the process can bring some discomfort, but with all the stages of skin preparation it will be minimal.

Choose a master

Many girls and women find it difficult to decide on a procedure, but it is even more difficult to find a qualified specialist. What should I look for before cleaning my face?

1. Compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards.
2. Master's experience.

These are the two most important factors that affect the final result. An inexperienced beautician, for example, may not completely cleanse the pores or infect the infection in the wound.

Low cost and efficiency - these are the main features that distinguish mechanical cleaning of the face. Photos before and after manipulations, placed on the advertising brochures, promise a visible result. The main thing is, do not panic when you see your face right after the procedure - after a few hours redness and swelling disappear.

First step

As we have already said, the soreness of cleansing depends on proper preparation, as well as individual characteristics. At the first stage, you need to remove the make-up and open the pores. Depending on the particular situation, the master decides what to do-confine himself to using the cosmetic or apply a special cleaning mask. You can open pores in several ways:

• With the help of a thermo-warming gel;
• Using a vaporizer (steam jet treatment).

Extended vessels on the face, asthma and dry thin skin are contraindications for vaporization.

The opening of the pores prevents dehydration and facilitates the further purification process.

Second phase

So, steaming the skin leads to a softening of the sebaceous plugs, therefore, after treatment with lotion is mandatory. Then the wizard starts directly to clean the pores, using one of the tools:

1. Uno's spoon. At one end of the stick is a spoon with one hole, and on the other - a small strainer. The spoon is used to remove single acne. A strainer will help to cope with black dots and comedones.
2. Vidal's loop. Suitable for dealing with deep comedones and acne on the surface.
3. Needle Vidal. It is used to eliminate small white pimples ("zhirovikov"), as well as deep-seated acne. Owners of sensitive and dry skin painfully perceive Vidal's needle, and after the procedure, small bruises may appear.

All tools must be made of medical steel. Before use, treatment with an antiseptic is necessary to prevent inflammation. It happens that none of the tools are suitable - in this case, the wizard manually removes the secret from the pores.

All without exception, cosmetologists know that effective cleaning of the face lasts until the skin has not cooled down. After about twenty minutes, the pores begin to close and the cleaning becomes rather painful.

If the "front of work" is large, then the procedure is carried out in several stages, using a vacuum device for cleaning the face. A small glass tube, when in contact with the skin, creates pressure, due to which all grease plugs come out. Such a combination of facial cleansing can achieve the best results.

The third stage

At the last stage, the treated areas need to be disinfected and calmed, and also to narrow the pores. Most often, the master uses a lotion or tonic, then a special mask, for example, from therapeutic clay. It perfectly removes inflammation, narrows the pores and absorbs excess sebum. To stimulate blood circulation, sometimes massage.

The procedure of "cleansing the face", the price of which is about 2000-2500 rubles, allows the skin to breathe and significantly narrows the pores. In addition, there is a complete removal of pimples and comedones.

After the "magic" transformation of girls and women want to know how often you can do a face cleaning? On this account, there are different opinions, and some beauticians for the sake of increasing profits are ready to advise you to do the procedure even twice a month, not taking into account the skin condition. Of course, one should not trust such a master, because too frequent removal of sebum leads to an increase in its production.

More often from experts it is possible to hear following recommendations:

• Oily skin with a large number of black dots can be cleaned about once every three months;
• Combined type - once every six months or a year.

After the session

It is always nice to see the result of the work of an experienced master - the exception is not a mechanical face cleaning. The photo "before and after", placed below, clearly demonstrates the effectiveness of the procedure. However, do not forget about the basic rules:

• After visiting the beautician for 12 hours, do not wash with water;
• For a week, put aside funds for a person containing alcohol;
• Try to avoid direct sunlight or a solarium;
• Small sores that can appear on the site of injured pores, it is better not to touch.

In the first days after the procedure, some girls and women are bothered by itching - this is normal skin reaction, as well as red spots. In a few days, peeling may appear, and recovery will take at least a week, so on the eve of important events, there is never a face cleansing.

Contraindications

It is worth recalling that mechanical facial cleansing is a rather serious intervention that can either transform the skin, or spoil it in case of infection. However, there are a number of diseases that are not compatible with this procedure:

• herpes;
• bronchial asthma;
• hypertonic disease;
• furunculosis;
• dermatitis;
• eczema.

Facial cleansing does not suit the possessor of sensitive and dry skin, as well as prone to inflammation and allergic reaction. In addition, do not plan to go to a cosmetologist during menstruation.

Without extra costs

Salon procedures are not available to all women. We will tell you how to clean the face skin at home. In fact, this is not so difficult, but with the above steps.

To open the pores, make a steam bath. To do this, tilt your face over the hot water tank and cover your head with a towel. After a few minutes, gently pat the skin with a tissue, and then continue to steam for 10-15 minutes. Instead of ordinary water, you can prepare a decoction of chamomile or other suitable herbs (celandine or calendula).

Tools for cleaning now buy quite easily, while paying attention to the quality of the product and carefully study the instructions.

Remember that all manipulations must be carried out with clean hands and on well-cleaned skin. If the face has open wounds, immature pimples or other inflammation, then always postpone the procedure.

Reviews

Face cleaning is mechanical (what is it, many girls and women know, but resort to the services of a cosmetologist only in extreme cases) - the procedure is "not for the faint-hearted." Here's how to characterize her reviews of the bravest young ladies. The effect is really tangible, but for its full manifestation you should wait about a week.

Some representatives of the fair sex want an instantaneous transformation, and when immediately after cleansing they see their red face with small wounds and swelling (add more pain), then they promise not to go to this "execution" anymore.

Preserve the effect

Special attention should be paid to skin care after mechanical cleaning, which will help to prolong the effect. Note three ways to eliminate the consequences of the procedure:

1. Aloe vera gel to remove stains and redness.
2. Blue or green clay. The appearance of acne after cleansing means inflammation. A mask made of clay is a proven method of removing hated pimples.
3. White clay + mineral water. To accelerate the healing of small wounds will help mask of white clay. Before going out to the street, apply a salicylic ointment.

The skin needs our help in recovery, so avoid the sudden temperature changes and the use of alcoholic beverages within three days. Maximum moisturizing and compliance with drinking regimen will quickly return the natural protective layer.

To preserve the result, you can choose a peeling based on fruit acids. Experts advise to carry out the procedure twice a week in combination with a soothing mask.

Ultrasonic cleaning

Skilled masters skillfully combine salon procedures - so there was a combined cleaning of the face. This is a combination of the above described mechanical cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning.

During the procedure, ultrashort waves softly affect the skin. Ultrasound helps to fight with non-inflamed acne and "clogged" pores.

The main device for cleaning the face is a scrubber, which removes "black dots" and causes a delicate cleansing from the dirt, the pigment spots become lighter, and the skin color is equalized. During the procedure, the production of elastin and collagen is stimulated.

Ultrasonic cleaning has the following contraindications:

• Second half of pregnancy and lactation;
• Acute infection;
• Diseases of the cardiovascular system;
• cancer;
• hypertension;
• Recent maxillofacial surgery or lifting using gold strands.

In the salon or at home?

Ultrasonic cleaning at a price is quite affordable for many women. Depending on the complex of services and the cosmetics used, the cost of the procedure is from 2000 rubles and more.

If you have not found a good beautician or are limited in time, you can always purchase an ultrasound device and forget what a salon cleansing face. The price of a portable scrabber is about 4000 rubles.

After the procedure, the skin looks taut and radiant, but ultrasonic cleaning, too, should not get carried away. Do the cleaning once, and then observe for how long the result is achieved. In any case, going to a cosmetologist more often than once in ten days can lead to overdrying of the skin and other negative consequences.

Atraumatic cleansing

Modern cosmetology knows and more gentle methods, rather than cleaning the face of a mechanical (what is it, the stages of conduct and contraindications, we have already told at the beginning of the review). One of the most popular services is atraumatic facial cleansing, for which only a certain set of tools is needed.

The main stages of the procedure:

1. Removal of makeup and surface contaminants.
2. Softening of comedones with the help of a special formulation.
3. Peeling. With the help of fruit acids, a painless peeling is performed, which does not leave redness and flaking.
4. Opening of the pores. Instead of traditional steaming, a special mixture is applied to the face. This means helps dissolve comedones and sebum. Then there is a lotion treatment that prevents infection.
5. Mask. It is aimed at narrowing the pores. It is selected by the cosmetologist individually, according to the skin type.
6. Gel for the removal of irritation. Accelerates the regeneration of cells and soothes the skin.
7. Recovery. Natural protection after cleaning is almost non-existent, so a temporary "shield" is a nourishing cream.
8. The final chord. Atraumatic cleaning is completed by applying a special powder or sunscreen.

Contraindications:

• Allergic reactions;
• Open wounds, burns;
• psoriasis;
• dermatitis;
• eczema.

Holy Land

How to make a face cleaning irreproachably, experts of Holy Land know. For a quarter of a century, the Israeli cosmetics manufacturer has managed to take a leading position in the industry. Excellent customers appreciate not only high quality products, but also an incredible variety of lines for the treatment and care of any type of skin.

The complex of atraumatic cleansing Holy Land improves skin tone and smooths the color, and also smooths wrinkles and significantly reduces pores. At the heart of the compositions is a vegetable raw material, so the risk of an allergic reaction or irritation is minimal. Means from the Israeli manufacturer will suit even for problem and sensitive skin.

The cost of the procedure is approximately 4000 rubles.

Laser cleaning

Another revolutionary procedure - laser facial cleansing. The laser beam with a special device penetrates into the middle or upper layers of the epidermis, where dead cells and dirt are removed under the influence of temperature conditions.

According to experts, laser cleaning has many advantages:

• Painless;
• Due to lack of contact, the risk of infection is excluded;
• Rapid restoration of skin;
• Elimination of skin fatness.

Laser cleaning is indicated with enlarged pores, uneven terrain, pigment spots and wrinkles.

Contraindications

During the session (30-40 minutes), the laser actually removes the top layer of the skin, in which case the full update process is then started. Additionally, stimulation of collagen, responsible for elasticity and elasticity, occurs.

The procedure is strictly not advised to owners of dry and sensitive skin. In addition, there are other contraindications:

• diabetes;
• herpes;
• Pregnancy and lactation;
• epilepsy;
• Infectious and inflammatory diseases in acute form.

Any face cleaning (mechanical, vacuum or ultrasonic) leaves traces on the face, but the effects of laser action are more noticeable. The remaining layer of skin is an ideal environment for the multiplication of infections and bacteria, so special care is needed.

Restrictions apply to the use of foundation or powder for two weeks after the session, as well as additional peelings. Do not wash with water from the tap and wipe your face with alcohol-containing tonics.

Difficulties in choosing

If you are still wondering about what face cleansing is better, it is strongly advised to consult a beautician. Depending on the skin type and current problems, the specialist will give his recommendations.

In addition, take into account the painfulness of the procedures. Some girls easily carry mechanical cleaning, and for others even ultrasound is a real "test of strength".

However, the most important advice: to solve the problem is necessary from the inside. Everything that appears on the face (comedones, acne), in most cases, is associated with the work of internal organs. Therefore, it is better to fix the problems in the body first, and then to put the person in order.
