EXfoliates the skin

Skin cells regenerated within 24-30 days. If we want the skin to shine, the thickness of the stratum corneum must be reduced in time, because the dead cells that protect our skin simultaneously make it gray, thick and prevent the absorption of creams and serums. horn we can reduce the thickness of the layer with peeling procedures.

If you are planning a wedding in the sunny season, then the beautician will find the types of skin care peels that can be performed also in summer, at the same time, you should expect to use sunscreen after the procedures.

Popular peelings are peelings for natural upper legs - a high percentage of AHAs can be used in the beautician's office (alpha hydroxy acid) agents - 25-50%, which will effectively exfoliate dead cells. In the ideal variant, exfoliation before the wedding should be done in the form of a course - 5 procedures once a month if the beautician works with strong acids or once every 2 weeks, if weaker acids are used. Exfoliation of the stratum corneum can be done not only with acids. For this purpose can be machine procedures are used - microdebrasion, diamond burs, etc.

INTRODUCING ACTIVE SUBSTANCES TO THE SKIN

When the thickness of the stratum corneum is reduced, the necessary substances can be successfully introduced into the skin, which will ensure radiance, elasticity, moisturizes, reduces fine lines or solves any other existing problem. An effective way to inject into the skin the active substances are deeper using two-phase chemical peels or apparatus procedures.

During two-phase chemical peeling after exfoliation of the stratum corneum with fruit acids, immediately after acid neutralization, for the skin special mixtures of active substances are applied, which are designed for a specific purpose. They are usually divided into moisturizing, in anti-wrinkle, whitening, anti-couperosis and problem skin care, in substance mixtures intended for care.

In practice, these mixtures are often used at the same time, because often the bride-to-be has both a pigment spot and ruptured superficial blood vessel, both acne and skin wrinkled in the solarium (because brownness is very pleasant and goes well with the white dress), which needs to be moisturized, toned, to prevent any wrinkles. These active substances when applied to freshly exfoliated skin, is very effectively absorbed into the dermal layer of the skin, where our skin is physiologically "beauty warehouse" - collagen and elastic fibers, hyaluronic acid, hair follicles (living cells, from which grow hair), sweat and sebaceous glands and many other components.

Active substances can also be injected into the skin with the help of devices - the most popular are galvanic current procedures, iontophoresis, derm oxy and other procedures where the skin is introduced either with the help of electrodes or with the help of a jet of oxygen necessary substances in its deepest layers. When the skin has received the missing substances, it feels similar to being thirsty a person who is fed with a very tasty drink and allowed to drink as long as the thirst subsides. The result we achieve has soft, smooth, radiant skin that, with a light layer of make-up, will be practically invisible and make-up artist in addition, the skin of the face will get an irresistible, perhaps even unprecedented, pleasant surprise!

HYALURONIC ACID & BOTULIN INJECTIONS ARE USED

If the skin has any signs that have already accumulated over the years, such as deeper wrinkles, stronger pigments, couperose, then their prevention should be started much earlier - draw up a procedure plan together with your cosmetologist for a year before the wedding! Injections - fillers, botulinum injections - can be used to prevent deeper wrinkles.

Botulinum injections will be suitable for reducing crow's feet around the eyes, preventing "anger furrows", horizontal furrows for mitigation. The effect of the injection occurs only within an average of 10 days after the injection, so it should be scheduled in a timely manner.

When performing any injection, always keep in mind that after the injection there may be (this is normal and always transient) some bruising or swelling. Therefore, the minimum time until an important event is a month. If biorevitalization was planned or a course of mesotherapy - these are injections that restore the condition of the skin, when moisturizers are injected into the skin, for example hyaluronic acid, vitamin preparations, then it should be taken into account that after the procedure there will be small bumps in which, like a depot, for a week the injected substance will be stored until it is absorbed into the skin gradually and in the right places. A course is also desirable for these procedures – 3 procedures with a monthly interval to obtain the maximum expected effect.

SKIN CARE – LIPS

If you want your lips to be moisturized or slightly more accentuated, you can consider with a beautician injection of hyaluronic acid fillers. Depending on the density and quantity of the administered preparation, the desired effect can be obtained, which lips do not have to be significantly enlarged, they can be moisturized, small wrinkles in the skin of the lips can be eliminated or on the upper lip, as a result, the lips look natural and an accent that makes you feel better will be achieved.

With the help of fillers, you can achieve both the correction of the shape of the lips (sometimes they are asymmetrical by nature) and the desired volume. After these injections, there will be swelling for 2-3 days, which means that the lips will appear larger than they will be after the swelling has subsided. will decrease, there may also be some bruising after the injection, therefore the minimum time interval until the important event, when you can still manage to do this injection is 3 weeks, but it is better to do it even earlier.

With the help of filler injections, you can reduce the mouth-nasal groove, raise the corners of the lips, and reduce wrinkles in the facial skin. Injections should be scheduled in time. Especially in cases where it is desirable to conduct them in the form of a course.

A week before the wedding, it is advisable to supplement the already beautiful skin care with well-being, skilled massage and an effective face mask and you will be truly irresistible!

TRY LASER PROCEDURES

For the prevention of signs of photoaging such as fine lines, decreased skin turgor, pigment spots, torn blood vessels, laser procedures are used effectively. It is not recommended to sunbathe while doing it, so if you are planning a wedding in the summer, you start to be interested in these procedures already in the fall.

Usually laser procedures also require a course of 3-5 procedures once a month, in some cases, of course, you can apply with fewer procedures. After laser procedures, the skin may have post-procedural redness, peeling, and bruises for a week are completely temporary, but you should not plan any event within two weeks after the procedure.

In the case of fractional laser procedures, this post-procedure time when your skin changes and crusts, redness go away is even up to a month and after the procedure the skin continues to improve for another six months, so you will even see the maximum beautiful effect within half a year after the procedure.

PREVENTS PIGMENT SPOTS

If it is necessary to reduce pigment spots, it is safest to entrust it to a dermatologist, because not every pigment spot may just be the result of excessive sun exposure or hormonal changes, sometimes these seemingly innocent spots hide skin pre-cancers or even cancers and require serious treatment.

Don't be afraid!

There is no need to be afraid, but it is better to have your pigment checked by a dermatologist before performing cosmetological procedures. That can be performed with painless skin care, non-invasive method - digital dermatoscopy, skin ultrasonography or siascopy. If there is no risk, the doctor will also recommend the most suitable method for whitening the spots. If there will be laser procedures, remember that you will need a course (the duration depends on the intensity of the pigment) and immediately after the spot from the procedure will be very dark, it will take about 3 weeks for the pigment to peel off.

Be sure to apply sun protection cream to your face after the procedure and also on a daily basis, because even when the laser pigment will be faded, this area will want to get darker in the sun and it will be the "weak spot" that will require more special care in the future. Light pulsed lasers stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin and thanks to it procedures, small wrinkles in the skin are reduced, the oval can be strengthened, skin tone can be improved. Also the maximum of these procedures to obtain the effect, it is necessary to take a course (3-5 procedures once a month).
