CHEMICAL PEELINGS IN SUMMER TIME
WHY YOU CAN DO CHEMICAL PEELINGS IN SUMMER
It is necessary to imagine the structure of the skin and understand which structures are directly affected by peeling. The main culprit behind the problem of hyperpigmentation is melanin, a pigment produced by melanocytes. Melanocytes are found in the basement membrane of the epidermis along with mitotically active stem cells of the epidermis - basal keratocytes. According to the Russian classification of chemical peels, peelings of medium, medium-deep and deep levels of penetration can reach the basement membrane.
Superficial peels work within the stratum corneum, do not have a direct effect on melanocytes and cannot be the direct cause of hyperpigmentation!

Preparing for the meeting 5+++; reminder and clarification of the accuracy of attendance 5+++; meeting and acquaintance 5+++; initial consultation - Natalya competently and carefully asked about my wishes for the procedure, found out my motivation to do the retinoic peeling procedure that I signed up for, explained...
all the subtleties, pros and cons, timely approach to this procedure (that is, briefly - you should not start with very strong resuscitation measures, which is this peeling and biorevitalization, for 31-year-old skin, which still has a lot of potential that needs to be delicately and use gently!!!But in the cosmetology clinic, where I came from and where I was a client for all sorts of cleanings and nourishing masks, I was advised to undergo retinoic peeling (so necessary for me) and biorevitalization in the winter. But I decided not to rush, but to collect more opinions from experienced cosmetologists, and to do it all much cheaper, because the amounts (9 thousand rubles for peeling and 38 thousand rubles for biorevitalization and then, far from advanced drugs, but mediocre ones) are 40 thousand. R. I had it, but I wasn’t sure that I wouldn’t do it on a budget and with better quality))). That's how I ended up with Natalya. On Profi.ru I looked for the most professional cosmetologist based on ratings and reviews. And in addition, it turned out that the prices for the procedures are very reasonable, although cosmetologists usually charge extra for the experience, this is no secret. As a result, I received an hour-long consultation and an understanding of what my skin needs and when! Retinoic peeling and biorevitalization later, much, and then only when there are indications. Although Natalya could do everything for me, and it would cost more than what she ended up doing for me, but cheaper than in the clinic. In general, it would be better for her, of course, and not for me. But Natalya did not, her professionalism does not allow her to profit from gullible and ignorant clients, who are also insanely intimidated by the fact that if you do not do the recommended procedure now, then later you will not be able to remove wrinkles and bring your face into a decent appearance!!! I fell for it too! In general, Natalya offered me another peeling, which cost 2 thousand rubles, and not 3 thousand rubles, like the retinoic one I wanted from her. She worked very gently and delicately with the skin, accompanied everything with explanations, did not leave the office, controlled all my sensations. Then she gave me home care products for 5 days that I would need after the peeling and explained everything that I should do and everything that could happen to me after the peeling! I left satisfied, I will wait for the result. Then I’ll write a review about what I ended up getting.
