Atraumatic face cleansing

Atraumatic face cleansing is based on chemical reactions caused by AHA acids. Despite the frightening word "chemical", the procedure is the mildest of its kind. In fact, this is a gentle type of peeling, and the replacement of the name with the synonym "atraumatic" is quite justified. According to modern cosmetology, this is a completely safe and effective technique. [1]

Indications for the procedure

Unlike manual or vacuum techniques, atraumatic facial cleansing is carried out non-contact. Therefore, the skin is not injured and does not experience mechanical stress, and side effects in the form of irritation, tightness, hyperemia do not occur.

The procedure is suitable for everyone, regardless of type, age, presence or absence of tanning. Dryness and thinness of the skin do not interfere with the procedure, since the procedure is as gentle as possible. [2]

However, specific indications for cleaning have been identified. They arise when a person notices the following shortcomings in himself:

• mimic or age wrinkles;
• wilting of the skin;
• surface contamination with dust, cornified cells;
• comedones, acne, pimples.

Preparation

One of the goals of cleansing is to remove the dead layer of the epidermis to rejuvenate and smooth the skin surface. It reduces the secretion of fat, reduces the activity of microflora, and relieves the likelihood of inflammation.

• The procedure is performed in several stages. Like other cosmetic procedures, make-up removal imparts atraumatic facial cleansing.

At this stage of preparation, cleansing, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory drugs are used. This is followed by a peeling of the scales, consisting mainly of fruit acids. A mask with glycolic acid is applied to open the pores. [3]

A second layer is applied to the face with opened pores, with more concentrated ingredients. At this stage, the skin heats up and softens, due to chemical processes, part of the fat plugs dissolves. The end result is achieved through chemical processes that dissolve clogged pores and associated dirt.

At this point, irritation or allergies are likely, but they are not critical. This is a common reaction of the skin to external stimuli. Finally, a mask is applied to tighten pores, moisturize and nourish the skin.

Technique of the atraumatic face cleansing

In the process of atraumatic cleansing of the face, lotions, gels and other preparations are used, selected according to the individual parameters of the patient. This is a set of sequential actions, during which non-aggressive chemicals with a delicate cleansing effect are used.

The technique includes several stages: make-up removal, light peeling, cold hydrogenation, cleansing, a mask for soothing, a protective cream.

• After removing the makeup, the skin is cleansed with liquid soap, which acts as an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, pain-relieving drug.

Atraumatic ultrasonic face cleaning

Some experts call ultrasonic face cleansing atraumatic - in view of the fact that it does not damage the dermis and passes without a recovery period. However, most cosmetologists classify atraumatic ultrasound facial cleansing as a separate technique. Today it is one of the most popular salon treatments. Recommended for cleaning from dead elements, dirt deposits, improving complexion. [8]

A scrubber scrubber is called a scrubber. It emits ultrasound, and ultrasound vibrations generate high frequency and low power vibrations in the surface layer.

• In this way, ultrasound separates dead cells and dirt from living tissues.
• Thanks to this, the skin becomes smooth to the touch and is free from shallow comedones.
• Ultrasonic micromassage evens out the relief and skin tone.

The procedure is carried out on a cleansed face covered with a special gel. The scrubber gently touches the surface for about 20 minutes. There is no pain or other uncomfortable sensations, only a slight vibration is felt. Combines with manual post-treatment, which increases the efficiency of manipulation. [9]

Consequences after the procedure

The procedure is designed for 1.5 - 2 hours. Its softness is a plus, but there is also a downside: atraumatic face cleansing works shallowly and does not remove deep accumulations of dirt or serious skin imperfections. The positive consequences after the procedure are that it passes without a trace and does not interfere with immediately going outside, going to work or on other matters.

• In order to avoid undesirable consequences after the procedure, it is forbidden to visit saunas and pools, sunbathe on the beach and in the solarium on the following days.

Atraumatic facial cleansing stimulates regeneration, so the skin becomes fresh and healthy. It does not undergo stretching or pressure, as a result of the procedure, it does not redden or swell. No pain or other uncomfortable sensations are felt during cleaning. A slight burning sensation is possible at moments.

Antiseptic treatment eliminates the likelihood of infection of the epidermis. Cleansing the pores helps the skin to breathe, as well as the absorption of cosmetic components better than before. As a result of cleansing, blood circulation, elasticity, and structure are improved. The skin becomes smooth, beautiful and naturally fresh.

The procedure takes up to 2 hours. The frequency depends on individual characteristics and varies widely: from a session per month to several per year.

Complications after the procedure

For all the harmlessness, most cosmetic manipulations are accompanied by some discomfort. The specialist should warn everyone interested in atraumatic face cleansing about this, as well as about complications after the procedure.

• The pinkness of the skin occurs due to increased blood circulation. A slight redness is considered normal and completely disappears after a day or two.

The rashes that form after cleaning should also not bother patients: this is a natural self-cleaning, which is activated under the influence of manipulation. After exacerbation, the appearance will improve significantly.

The tightness of the skin is felt due to the action of acids. Moisturizers and nourishing creams reduce it, but increased dryness remains for a while.

Such consequences usually do not require additional intervention and soon go away on their own. At the request of the patient, the cosmetologist can prescribe drugs to reduce unwanted effects. [11]

It is necessary to consult a specialist in case of more serious phenomena:

• If hyperemia persists after 48 hours.
• Pain, swelling, burning, hyperemia can signal too aggressive manipulation.
• Irritation, desquamation, bright redness, swelling are signs of intolerance to the ingredient used.
• Abundant rashes can be the result of poor-quality products, infection, dubious qualifications of specialists.

Care after the procedure

The rest, that is, proper care after the procedure, depends directly on the recipient of the service. What should be observed in the following days? [12]
