One of the most popular methods of face dry cleaning is Jessner's peeling, which is a controlled skin burn to exfoliate the top layer and stimulate the processes of its renewal. The procedure is used both to improve the relief of the skin, to combat pigmentation and enlarged pores, and to rejuvenate and eliminate wrinkles of different depths.
Composition of Jessner's peeling
During the procedure, a mixture of three components is applied to the face:
- Salicylic acid acts as a fat dissolver, and therefore, penetrating deep into the pore, removes the extra secret of the sebaceous glands, relieves inflammation, strengthens the exfoliation of dead cells and exerts bacteriostatic action.
- Lactic acid activates the processes of collagen synthesis, which is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. Also this ingredient has an emollient, moisturizing and regenerating effect, that is - it accelerates the formation of new cells.
- Resorcinol is used in the treatment of dermatological diseases. it disinfects the skin, and also helps exfoliate the cornified layer.
Apply the composition for Jessner's peeling on the face in several stages depending on the objectives pursued.
Stages of peeling
This method of facial cleansing involves three levels of penetration of components deep into the skin:
Superficial peeling
It is used to lighten the skin, remove the uppermost layer of keratinized cells, narrow the pores. The epidermis is fired to a granular layer, and the process of complete healing takes only a couple of days.
Median peeling of Jessner
Effective in combating pigment spots, flat warts, scars and fine wrinkles. The defeat of the skin affects the tissues to the dermal layer, and burns the burn for at least one and a half weeks.
Deep peeling
It is used to correct deep wrinkles, face lift and struggle with deep foci of pigmentation. The skin is fired to the middle of the mesh layer of the dermis, and the healing of the wound takes about 2 - 4 weeks.
Jessner's chemical peeling procedure
The skin does not need any preliminary preparation for such cleaning.
In the case of surface peeling, the composition is applied in one layer, with the middle peeling, in two, at a deep one - in three or even four layers.
In the first case, the skin will be slightly flaky for 2 to 3 more days. This procedure is not dangerous, and if you have the necessary ingredients, you can do Jessner peeling at home, after consulting with your beautician.
After the medication penetrates into the skin, a burning sensation is noted, marked reddening of the skin. Deep peeling leaves a dry crust on the face, which should fall off in a few weeks.
