Pyruvic (pyruvate) peeling: how to do it, effect, contraindications + before and after photos

Description

Mediderma peelings are innovative products that combine various components contained in the composition in a certain concentration. When exposed to the skin, it is possible to achieve the most effective result.

Mediderma peeling products are premium products. Based on the method of exposure to the skin, they are divided into liposomal (more gentle) and chemical (quite aggressive).

This allows you to choose the most suitable treatment for any problem, be it pigmentation, hyperkeratosis, wrinkles of varying severity and skin unevenness.

In addition, the developers produce not only anti-aging products, but also neutralizers and aftercare products.

Peeling after facial cleansing

Smooth, delicate skin can be achieved at any age, but it requires proper care.

The procedure is performed using peelings of this series according to a specially developed protocol.

Spanish companies produce peeling products in batches. Their names are chosen based on the presence of the main active ingredient.

The effect of using this line can be seen after the first session. The main difference between such peels is their exfoliating properties, as well as cleansing the skin of dead particles, which allows you to achieve not only an improvement in appearance, but also eliminate more serious defects.

When choosing a peel, you should be guided by the patient’s skin type and the likelihood of unwanted skin reactions after manipulation.
It is important to find out what cosmetic or medicinal products the patient uses at home. It is necessary to follow all recommendations after peeling to avoid complications.

The principle of action and effectiveness of Mediderma peels

Mediderma chemical peels are the result of many years of research by the company’s specialists. They found the optimal combination of various components in the appropriate concentration. Their action on the skin provides maximum effect.

In addition, the developers offer not only the working composition, but also means to neutralize it and skin care products during the post-peeling period.

Mediderm peeling procedures are carried out according to a specific protocol, which is standard for each salon that works with these products.

Peeling products are produced in series. They get their names based on their main active ingredient. For example, yellow peeling contains tiny particles with membranes, which makes the procedure very effective. At the same time, this is the gentlest skin cleansing, suitable for any type of epidermis and any age category.

Stages of the procedure

The pyruvic exfoliation procedure itself takes place in four stages.

Skin cleansing

Before the procedure, it is imperative to remove all dirt, dust, excess sebum, and makeup from the face (it is best not to use any decorative cosmetics at all before going to a cosmetologist). Professional cosmetologists use special mousses for these purposes that have keratolytic and antimicrobial effects. Such products often contain proteolytic enzymes, papain, urea and plant extracts that soothe the skin and prepare it for the effects of acidic compounds.

The first stage is skin cleansing

The main task of a cleanser is to remove all dirt and sebum from the face and prepare the skin for further treatment. Mousses and foams used in salons also trigger cellular renewal processes during the cleansing stage, which increases the effectiveness of the procedure and improves the result. The mousse is applied to the skin with massage movements, and after 1-2 minutes is washed off with plenty of running water.

Applying an exfoliant

A liquid preparation containing pyruvates is applied to the face with quick movements using a disk or tampon according to the following zonal principle:

frontal zone;
area under the lower lip and chin;
cheeks and cheekbones;
perioral region (the area around the mouth);
wings of the nose;
eyelids.

During application, the doctor constantly monitors the skin reaction, and in case of increased burning or the appearance of pronounced signs of irritation, reduces the amount of exfoliant or the procedure time.

Applying the drug to the skin

The patient does not experience any painful sensations during the session, but some may complain of intense tingling and tingling, which usually goes away after the composition is removed.

Neutralization

It is necessary to remove the peeling composition from the face with a special neutralizer with a certain pH level. It is also applied to a sterile cotton swab and generously wiped the skin in the reverse order, starting with the most sensitive areas with thin skin (eyelids, temples, perioral area, etc.).

Removing the composition with a neutralizer

After treatment with the neutralizer, you need to wash your face with cool water and dry thoroughly with a towel or cotton napkin (it is better to do this by lightly blotting your face, without rubbing movements).

After peeling

After the procedure, a restorative and soothing gel or balm based on herbal ingredients (oils and extracts) is applied to the face. Such products have a wound-healing effect, restore the damaged structure of the dermis and epidermis, and stimulate cellular regeneration. A restorative cream after pyruvic peeling is also necessary to prevent dryness and flaking, protect injured skin from the adverse effects of external factors and increase the antioxidant protection of epidermal cells.

After the procedure, a restorative gel is applied

This gel must be applied throughout the entire rehabilitation period, which lasts from 10 days to 2 weeks.

Indications

To do this, 2-3 weeks in advance, you need to start cleansing the skin with a special mousse, which contains a small concentration of an acidic substance. Before going to bed, it is recommended to treat the skin with pre-peeling cream.

It is also important to apply sunscreen to your skin throughout the preparation period.

Appearance and description

Peeling gel is sold in a pale blue tube with a volume of 180 ml.

Hinged lid on top. Dosing occurs on the principle of squeezing toothpaste. As for me, it was more convenient to enclose the product in a bottle with a dispenser. Although the pipe is soft plastic, which allows you to squeeze the product out of it to the remainder.

On the side there is a translation of the composition and method of use in Russian. This made me very happy.

Execution steps

The procedure is performed in several sequential steps.

Cleansing

The specialist applies a cleansing mousse to the face. The exposure time is no more than 15 minutes. After which the remaining product is removed with clean water. The skin is dried with napkins.

Peeling

One of the following methods can be used to apply the peeling composition. For superficial penetration, the mixture is applied using a brush with light movements. For a deeper effect, use a cotton pad, and rub the substance in a circular motion.

Regardless of the type of peeling, it must be applied in a certain sequence. First, the area of the forehead, chin and cheeks is treated. At the second stage - the perioral region, wings of the nose and eyelids.

The time of exposure to the drug in each case is selected individually. However, at the first signs of erythema, the product must be immediately removed from the surface of the skin.

Neutralization

A neutralizing agent is applied over the peeling composition, and the reverse sequence of processing is observed. Next, the neutralizer is washed off with water, and the face is dried with paper towels.

Completion

At the final stage, the skin is treated with a post-peeling cream that has nourishing and moisturizing properties.

Consistency and aroma

I've developed a years-long habit of testing a little on my wrist or the back of my hand before applying anything to my face. Having squeezed out a gram of the product, I saw that the gel was very thick, it did not spread and held a drop well. The color is somewhat reminiscent of the shade of swollen gelatin. The consistency is gel-like. There are dark microparticles inside. These micro-granules are not felt on the skin. I tried to rub them between my fingers - it felt like fine salt.

The smell is indistinct, but to me it smells a little like chemicals.

Consequences

Even if superficial peeling was carried out using Mediderma products, the possibility of various complications should not be ruled out. So, after exfoliation with pyruvic acid, which has a terrible odor, bronchospasm may begin to develop. It is for this reason that it is prohibited to be used in relation to people who have been diagnosed with bronchial asthma.

Also, after the procedure, swelling and redness cannot be ruled out, which can be caused by the action of retinol.

Azelac can cause pustular rashes, and glycolic acid can cause peeling and a feeling of tightness.

In addition, there is a reduction in age spots and freckles, and facial contours are tightened.

All about retinoic acid

Retinoic acid is a substance (acetic acid) with properties similar to retinol (vitamin A). But the first substance is stable when used externally. It helps exfoliate the skin. Retinoic acid normalizes metabolism and protects cells from free radicals. The substance has a number of positive features.

Acid significantly improves the properties of the dermis. As a result, the local immunity of the skin improves and its need to protect itself from harmful bacteria increases. The process of development of purulent wounds is suspended.
Retinoic acid helps restore tissue in various skin diseases. Under its influence, acne heals faster and the development of skin pigmentation decreases. It also helps heal skin after burns.
The acid gives a lightening effect by blocking the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase, which is responsible for the synthesis of melanin.

Retinoic acid must be used with caution, as it can give the unborn child some pathologies. Therefore, a woman can perform such facial peeling, but without being pregnant.

Retinoic acid can be used for perioral dermatitis, acne, seborrheic dermatitis, wrinkles and sagging skin. This remedy is intended for the treatment of acne with cystic acne. The acid does not affect the scars themselves, but it prevents the appearance of skin defects.

Ferulic acid: peeling

Ferulic acid is extracted from the ferula plant, which has a wide range of actions: it has antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergenic and antibacterial effects. It is often included in many biological and cosmetic products.

Ferulic acid has the following active properties:

improves the production of collagen and elastin, which helps restore skin firmness and elasticity, as well as get rid of fine wrinkles;
has a lightening effect, which helps eliminate pigmentation;
actively fights against photoaging;
fights acne, blackheads and acne marks;
stops the growth of bacteria;
promotes rapid healing of wounds;
protects skin from exposure to sunlight;
helps restore dull and aging skin;
has tonic properties;
restores skin turgor.

In addition to the main component, ferul peeling also includes other types of fruit acids, which not only cleanse the skin of dead cells, but also nourish the cells with nutrients, vitamins and minerals.

Ferulic acid peeling, in addition to beneficial acids, contains cleansing substances suitable for each layer of the skin. This peeling helps slow down the aging process, since after the procedure the metabolic process in cells accelerates, which promotes the production of collagen and elastin.

Mediderma ferul peeling: procedure protocol

Before starting the procedure, the cosmetologist carries out preparatory measures: prepares the necessary solution from ferulic acid and other necessary components, and also carries out makeup removal using a special product that can deeply cleanse the skin of impurities and cosmetics.

Then, in order to activate the cosmetic product, a special composition is applied to the patient’s face, which is selected individually based on the skin type and its condition. The waiting time is determined by the cosmetologist, during which time he monitors the reaction of the skin; if there is no reaction, the product is removed from the face and the specialist begins the peeling itself.

The Mediderm ferul peeling protocol is as follows:

The specialist cleans the surface of the skin with an alcohol-based cleaning fluid.
Using a brush, apply the first thin layer of the composition.
Then the cosmetologist waits 5 minutes and applies serum with ascorbic acid.
Wait 5 minutes again and apply a second layer of ferulic acid.
This mask must be kept for about 12 hours, then all layers are washed off with water.

Mediderma ferul peeling can be used at home, but this can be dangerous, since only a specialist will be able to select the necessary composition based on skin type, as well as properly prepare the skin and apply the product.

Immediately after the procedure, the skin may turn slightly red at the site where the mask was applied, this happens often and is normal, so do not worry, the reaction will go away on its own within a few hours.

After a couple of days, slight peeling may occur, which can be avoided by using rich creams.

How much does yellow peeling cost?

Depending on what type of peeling you do and what brand of product you use, the price of yellow peeling also changes. During the consultation, the cosmetologist will create an individual treatment plan for you with preparatory procedures.

The average cost of peeling is 4,500–8,000 rubles.

Currently, there are a huge number of manufacturers offering medicinal compositions for performing manipulation. You can buy any brand of yellow facial peel for the procedure.

Here are some popular brands that offer the best yellow peeling: GIGI (Israel), CosMedix (USA), SesDerma (Spain), etc.

The cost of a session using these compounds will be approximately 10,000 rubles.

How to prepare for cleaning

Yellow peeling belongs to the category of those procedures for which pre-peeling preparation is mandatory. Following the cosmetologist’s recommendations in preparing the skin for cleansing is the key to a successful outcome and an easy recovery period.

Pre-peeling preparation begins several weeks before the intended procedure (2–4 weeks depending on skin type) and consists of the following actions:

Go through a series of examinations to ensure there are no contraindications; the cosmetologist will also study your medical history and carefully examine the condition of the skin.
A test for an allergic reaction is required to prevent irritation of the skin and complications of skin problems during the exfoliation process.
To loosen and soften the stratum corneum of the epidermis and thereby ensure a deeper effect of the peeling product, it is recommended to add cosmetics based on fruit acids to your daily care. In this case, creams containing retinoids in the range of 0.025-0.1% will be useful.
For patients suffering from excessive dryness of the skin, it is better to first carry out biorevitalization or mesotherapy. This will also increase the immunity of epidermal cells and prevent the development of complications.
Patients prone to herpes rashes may be prescribed antiherpetic medications for some time.
It is unacceptable to exfoliate with acids after sunbathing, so a few weeks before peeling, postpone going to the solarium and do not sunbathe.

Additional measures to prepare the skin for cleansing are determined by a specialist after a detailed analysis of the patient’s skin condition, age and complexity of the problem.

Preparatory stage

You should begin preparing for the procedure with a consultation with a cosmetologist. The doctor will examine the skin, talk, and prescribe the necessary tests. If the decision is positive about the possibility of performing Cimel retinoic peeling, the cosmetologist will discuss the rules for preparing for the intervention.

An important point will be the mandatory refusal to tan. Avoid exposure to the sun, visiting a solarium, and use sunscreen when going outside. The duration of the insolation restriction depends on the condition of the skin: for weakly pigmented tissues, 2 weeks of preparation is enough, for those with a dark tone - at least a month.

2-4 weeks before the procedure, it is important to avoid the use of vitamin A, medications, cosmetics with a high percentage of retinol, and its derivatives. At the same time, they carefully monitor the health and condition of the integument.

Various injuries and tissue microtraumas are excluded.

The cosmetologist will indicate the need for additional preparation of the skin for the intervention. 2-3 weeks before the session, it is advisable to switch to the use of Martinex skincare cosmetics (products from the MedicControlPeel line). Cleanser Mousse foam is used to cleanse the skin. Prepeel Medium is used as a night cream (prepeel Light can be lighter). When going outside, it is recommended to use Mediscreen with a high protection factor.

Proper preparation will increase the effectiveness of the results. There is no need to ignore the recommendations of a cosmetologist. If the quality of the tissue is insufficient, the doctor may refuse to perform the procedure. Intervention is possible both in winter and summer, but during periods of increased solar activity it is more difficult for the patient to fulfill important requirements, the violation of which can lead to complications.

Post-session care

Rumor has it that after a yellow peel, your skin will only need a few days to recover. But that's not true! Throughout the month you will need to take care of your face.

It happens that you carried out the procedure in a cosmetology office, and the specialist asked you to wash off the composition at home yourself. In this case, there is no need to panic. It is enough to use neutral soap and ordinary water.

It is very important to thoroughly rinse off all remaining composition. After this, the skin should become red and slightly tight. After washing your face, soak your face with a towel and then lubricate it with bepanthen.

If after the procedure you experience chills or an increase in body temperature, do not panic - this is a normal condition. There may even be swelling in the eyelid area. After three days, the redness will begin to subside, and you will notice peeling forming. This phenomenon can be observed throughout the week.

After peeling you cannot:

visit the bathhouse, otherwise the swelling may increase;
go to the pool to avoid infection;
exercise;
sunbathe.

After a week you can see positive results. True, the skin may become dry. In this case, you can use a moisturizer. Then after a couple of weeks you need to wash your face thoroughly using a scrub. This will help remove all flaking on the skin.

MediDerma peels are now very popular. It contains more than 40 types of different cleaning compounds. Patients of this company usually leave admiring reviews. Such peelings are also appreciated by cosmetologists. They consider these procedures safe and effective.

Types of yellow peeling

Yellow peeling comes in two types. Cleanings differ in the amount of retinoic acid used and the time of the procedure.

Cosmetic brands offer exfoliating formulations with varying concentrations of retinoic acid. Thus, the professional product contains approximately 5–10% of this substance, as well as other auxiliary components: kojic, azeloic, phytic and other acids, which produce an additional effect, help whiten the skin, and soothe it.

The first composition contains synthetic retinoic acid, which is a high concentration of retinol. With this active substance content, the product has a deeper effect on the skin of the face. The medicinal composition is applied to the dermis twice with a break of one day. After completing the procedure, it is advisable to avoid direct sunlight, so it is recommended to do it in autumn or winter in mostly cloudy weather. Before the session, you need to prepare your facial skin.

The second composition contains natural retinoic acid, which has a more gentle effect on facial skin. Yellow cream peeling on a natural basis produces superficial cleansing of the dermis. The procedure is performed once every month, interrupted during the summer.

Contraindications to the yellow peeling procedure

Before carrying out the procedure, you must consult a cosmetologist. This manipulation has a number of contraindications, so you should find out in advance whether this service is right for you or whether it is not worth doing.

Yellow facial peeling is not recommended if you have:

Allergy. By its effect on the skin of the face, retinol triggers an accelerated metabolism and makes the dermis more sensitive. If you have previously had allergic reactions, then after exfoliation there is a high probability of a relapse of the disease.
Viruses and infections. For the reasons described above, the risk of developing pathologies caused by the activity of harmful microorganisms also increases. Most often, herpes may develop after the procedure.
Photosensitivity. If your skin is sensitive to ultraviolet rays, it may burn after exfoliation.
Liver diseases. The active components of the medicinal composition not only interact with skin cells, but also partially enter the blood and then the liver. If you have pathologies of this organ, retinoic acid can cause negative consequences.
Skin diseases. If your dermis is damaged or can suffer from the slightest impact, you are not recommended to undergo the procedure, as it can cause burns and additional injuries.
Pregnancy and lactation. The active component of yellow peeling - retinol - can negatively affect the health of the baby in the womb, so you should refrain from using the service a year before the expected pregnancy, while pregnant, and also during lactation.
Taking certain medications. For example, if you take Roaccutane or other medications that are similar in composition and purpose, this service is not indicated for you during the course.
Neoplasms. If you have a tumor on your face, it is not recommended to do yellow peeling, as exposure to it may cause it to grow.

Remember that you can do yellow peeling only if you have no contraindications. Even if you plan to perform this procedure at home, be sure to consult a specialist first.

Is it possible to do yellow peeling at home?

Of course, you are wondering how to make yellow peeling at home. However, there is no answer to this. This procedure is strongly recommended to be carried out in beauty salons. Since retinol has serious effects on the skin at the mid-level, this service should be provided under the supervision of a professional technician.

If the procedure is carried out incorrectly at home, negative consequences may arise, such as skin pigmentation, which will then have to be dealt with for a very long time.

Only a specialist can choose the correct dosage of the composition specifically for your skin type.

Let us repeat once again that yellow facial peeling is a professional cosmetic procedure that is contraindicated to be done at home.

On your own, you can only use cosmetics that contain retinol. Such products affect the skin at a superficial level and promote gradual and gentle renewal of the dermis.

But even when using such formulations, it is necessary to strictly follow all the recommendations described in the instructions for the drug.
