Clean, healthy skin gives you beauty and makes you look younger. That is why deep skin cleansing is necessary at any age.
When choosing a salon procedure, it is worth paying attention to the combined facial cleansing. It combines the benefits of aggressive mechanical and safe ultrasonic exposure to the skin.
What is it - combined cleaning
The essence of the procedure is to use the opportunities that mechanical manual cleaning provides, but to exclude skin injury. Combined facial cleansing is suitable even for those customers who are forced to abandon aggressive, but effective methods of facial care due to excessive skin sensitivity. The procedure is characterized by increased comfort, since the client practically does not feel pain.
Manual massage and cleansing can achieve complete cleansing of pores from sebaceous plugs, and the use of an ultrasound apparatus helps to avoid redness of the face, the appearance of bruises and painful areas. The rehabilitation period after the procedure is minimal. As a rule, the appeared redness disappears without a trace in 3-4 days, a maximum of a week.
It is important that you can cleanse the skin locally, that is, work with individual areas. Manual cleaning, for example, is carried out where comedones, wen, pustules, miliums (millet, or whiteheads) formed. On healthy skin, an ultrasonic manipulator is used, which completes the cleansing of dirt and accumulations of sebaceous secretion. Due to the ultrasonic effect, no swelling is observed, scars do not form, and redness quickly passes.
Thus, in one session, the client receives two types of cleaning. So, the efficiency of visiting the salon doubles. The cosmetologist selects an individual care plan, performs mechanical removal of purulent and greasy secretions only in those places where it is really needed. The rehabilitation period lasts 2-3 days.
Indications for combined facial cleansing
The procedure can be performed at any age regardless of the time of year. In this way, it compares favorably with chemical peels that cannot be carried out during the period of active sun, that is, in spring and summer.
Indications for combined facial cleansing are the following skin defects:
• oily skin with enlarged pores;
• acne, acne;
• black and white eels (comedones and miliums);
• inflammatory elements;
• uneven skin texture;
• gray, unhealthy complexion;
• The first signs of age-related aging of the skin.
usually, prior consultation is not required. However, there are a number of contraindications that the beautician is obliged to tell about.
How is combined cleaning done?
Combining two different procedures in one cleaning session makes a visit to the salon long. Combined facial cleansing is carried out in seven stages.
1. Preparing the face for further manipulations - makeup remover. A beautician must clean it using a soft milk according to the type of client’s skin.
2. Easy scrubbing to open pores and increase the efficiency of the procedure. This stage is not always carried out, the cosmetologist takes into account the skin condition of the client and the need to solve a specific problem. The scrub removes dead epithelial cells, particles of street dirt and dust.
3. Light manual massage to relax facial muscles and increase skin sensitivity.
4. Steaming the skin with jets of warm water vapor. Due to this effect, the contents of the clogged pores are softened, and it is easier to remove them. Steaming is not carried out with severe rosacea, hypersensitivity or dry skin, as well as bronchial asthma. In these cases, chemical cold steaming becomes an alternative. A special gel is applied to the skin, which opens the pores, makes the stratum corneum more loose.
5. Removing the contents of clogged pores and pustules with a special spoon Uno. Inflamed areas are not treated, since there is a high probability of spread of infection. If the spoon does not cope, the beautician can remove everything that needs to be removed manually. Squeezing is safe, since the doctor works in sterile conditions and knows the manipulation technique very well.
6. Ultrasonic cleaning of the skin is the main manipulation of combined face cleaning. It is carried out using a special manipulator spatula. The skin is periodically moistened with gel during the procedure.
7. Additional care after completion of the procedure is the treatment of the skin with agents that narrow the pores, relieve inflammation, moisturize. As a rule, a lotion is applied to the face, then a mask is applied, at the final stage the cosmetologist uses a cream according to the type of skin - moisturizing or nourishing.
Some salons replace ultrasonic laser skin treatment. This is also acceptable. The laser beam destroys the upper stratum corneum of the skin, causing cells to actively regenerate. An additional advantage of the laser is the stimulation of the production of its own collagen fibers. Thus, such a cleaning helps to increase the elasticity of the skin, which means rejuvenation of the face.
In any case, both ultrasound and laser act delicately, do not injure the skin. No scars and scars are formed. Moreover, the existing old lesions are smoothed out, the skin smoothes out and looks smoother, fresher and healthier.
