User Reviews
Enzyme peeling is a rather pleasant procedure, not bringing discomfort and painful sensations. The patient simply lies and rests, while the cosmetologist puts on his face an enzyme mass or a nourishing cream.
Determine which type of enzyme peel is suitable for your skin, will help only a qualified specialist in cosmetology. To carry out tests on one's own skin, testing all known types of peeling procedures, is not recommended - in the end it turns out, as they say, "more expensive". Sometimes there are cases when the use of an unsuitable mass for enzyme peeling causes allergies and other unpleasant consequences.
When doing peeling alone, it is important to follow the instructions clearly, observing the dose and duration of the procedure.
Reviews of cosmetologists
If there is an opportunity to visit a cosmetology salon, it is better to conduct an enzyme peeling with a qualified cosmetologist. This procedure is not very expensive, but the price may depend on the level of the salon and the cost of the peeling agent used. In most cases, peeling in the cabin is more effective, since the specialist usually has a good idea of the composition of the product for the procedure, and can even add additional active ingredients to it.
Despite the fact that enzyme peeling is mostly suitable for any type of skin, a specialist beautician can more accurately choose a preparation for sensitive, oily, dry or problematic skin. Such an individual approach will help make the procedure more efficient, which will more justify the funds spent on the procedure.
