Retinoic peeling protocol (English)

When considering the Mediderm yellow peeling protocol, you need to know some of the nuances of the healing and rejuvenating procedure. Today we will try to understand in as much detail as possible the specifics of such cleaning - how it works, how effective it is, contraindications and warnings.

Operating principle and effectiveness

Retinoic or yellow peeling is a delicate type of skin cleansing that combines four areas:

gentle removal of dead, “non-working” particles of the epidermis that interfere with the normal functioning of tissues;
correction of age-related changes on the face - the product has a slight lifting effect;
therapeutic effects on the skin (hyperkeratosis, seborrhea, oiliness, acne and other problems);
elimination of pigmentation, whitening of the epidermis.

The procedure is a superficial peeling, that is, it affects only the upper layers, which guarantees a minimal recovery period and an almost complete absence of complications and pronounced side effects. It’s not for nothing that yellow peeling is called a “weekend” procedure. If you do it on Friday, then on Monday you can safely return to your usual lifestyle.

Mediderma retinoic peeling is considered one of the safest and most effective. The secret lies in the composition. The complex contains three retinol molecules with different rates of action, which ensures long-lasting results. After all, the level of this active component in the skin is maintained.

After a brief excursion into the theoretical part, it’s time to inquire about the effectiveness of the drug from the Spanish manufacturer.

Stimulation of skin rejuvenation. Thanks to the influence of active components, the processes of production of collagen and elastin cells are accelerated. Regeneration processes are stimulated, the condition of cell membranes improves, which enhances protection against free radicals.
Increasing local immunity. The epidermis receives sufficient potential to combat infectious agents, the risk of suppuration is minimized, and acne is prevented.
Evens out skin tone. Thanks to the effects of retinols, the activity of enzymes responsible for the production of melanin decreases. Pigment spots are eliminated, the face acquires an even tone.
Adding freshness. Removing dead cells helps improve cellular respiration and nutrient absorption. And this affects the appearance. The face becomes fresh, soft, pink.
Lifting effect. Small wrinkles are eliminated and more pronounced ones are minimized. Creases and jowls are corrected.
Fights acne, pimples, milia, as well as scars and scars from old rashes.

Mediderma retinoic peeling is indicated not only for women who have noticed age-related changes on their face, but also for young ladies under 30 years old who have certain problems with the epidermis.

Let us repeat - yellow peeling is not an overly aggressive procedure; it affects only the upper layers of epidermal tissue and does not provide for a long recovery period.

Are there any contraindications?

Mediderma retinol peeling is a universal procedure, as it is suitable for any age and any skin type. Here is a list of problems that can be dealt with:

manifestations of photo and chronoaging;
decreased production of substances responsible for the youth and elasticity of the skin (collagen, elastin);
unhealthy, grayish complexion;
hyperpigmentation, including age-related;
hyperkeratosis;
seborrhea;
increased fat content, tendency to form sebaceous plugs, comedones, milliums, acne and pimples;
increased dryness of the skin due to impaired oxygen metabolism and nutrient supply;
changes in the structure of the skin, uneven microrelief in the form of wrinkles, creases, jowls;
some dermatological diseases - according to the indications of a dermatologist.

Interesting fact! It has been proven that under the influence of retinol the number of atypical cells in the skin is reduced. Therefore, retinoic peeling is a prevention of skin cancer.

But there are also a number of contraindications for the procedure. For the most part, they are standard for any chemical peel. We remember to avoid disastrous consequences instead of a blooming appearance:

individual intolerance to retinol, its derivatives or other components of the composition used;
eczema and some other dermatological ailments;
weakened immunity, infections and viral pathologies;
elevated body temperature, regardless of origin;
skin photosensitivity;
warts, papillomas in the affected area;
violation of the integrity of the skin in the work area;
fresh tan;
history of liver disease;
taking medications with vitamin A or retinol derivatives. At least six months must pass from the completion of such therapy;
pregnancy and breastfeeding period.

It should also be noted that planning pregnancy is also a relative contraindication, since retinol has a toxic effect on the fetus. The procedure should not be performed one year before the planned conception.

Many women are interested in a comprehensive solution to the problems of fading or problematic appearance. In particular, the question arises: is it constructive to carry out salicylic peeling before performing yellow Mediderm?

We note that experts have different opinions on this matter. Some argue that this option will help improve the result. Others consider combining two chemical peels unnecessary.

However, it must be taken into account that there are various problems that require extraordinary solutions. If a woman has very pronounced hyperkeratosis, very oily skin with all the accompanying problems, then the cosmetologist may prescribe salicylic peeling to prepare the skin for the effects of retinol.

Cleansing with salicylic acid will help soften the rough upper layers of the epidermis, dry the skin a little, and relieve inflammation and irritation.

Retinol peeling should be carried out some time after salicylic peeling. The specialist will tell you what time interval should be maintained, based on the client’s individual indicators.

Mediderma yellow peeling procedure protocol

Exfoliation itself occurs after the preparatory stage. During the consultation, the cosmetologist will tell the woman what and how to do so that the effect is maximum.

Pre-peeling preparation begins 2-4 weeks before the planned procedure. The duration of the preparatory stage depends on the skin type and related problems.

Necessary:

Bring your medical card to the specialist and, if necessary, undergo a few simple tests to determine contraindications;
carry out an allergy test with the exact composition that will be used for peeling;
regularly apply a special pre-peeling cream to loosen the epidermis to ensure a deeper effect of the active composition;
if the epidermis is excessively dry, it is recommended to undergo a procedure (or several, on the advice of a doctor) of mesotherapy or birevitalization;
if you have a history of herpes infection, it makes sense to take a course of antiviral drugs;
A few weeks before peeling, limit your exposure to the open sun and do not visit the solarium.

The protocol for the yellow peeling procedure with Mediderma is as follows:

cleansing the skin of makeup residues, dust and dirt;
applying the contents of the ampoule;
applying the contents of the sachet;
covering the treated surface with film for a quarter of an hour.

Then the film is removed and the client can go home. There, after about 6-8 hours (the cosmetologist will tell you the exact time), the composition should be washed off with neutral soap and warm water.

During the post-peeling period, the skin may turn slightly red, and slight swelling is possible in the first hours. Then peeling occurs, but not always. If the skin is peeling, then under no circumstances should you pick off the scabs yourself, so as not to injure the epidermis and cause an infection.

You should use moisturizing creams unless a specialist advises you otherwise. After a week or a week and a half, you can wash your face using a scrub to remove the remnants of flaky skin, but not before!

Please note that yellow peeling gives results after the first procedure. But to achieve a lasting and long-lasting effect, the procedure is carried out in courses individually selected taking into account all the nuances.

Is it possible to do the procedure yourself?

Retinoic exfoliation can only be performed by a specialist. A cosmetologist can professionally assess the condition of the skin, carry out the procedure according to the protocol, and give recommendations during the recovery period. It is difficult to independently control the depth of exposure to active elements; it can lead not only to the development of hypersensitivity, inflammation, irritation, but also to burns. At home, you can use care products containing no more than 1% retinol.

Preparatory stage

Yellow peeling is carried out in the salon by an experienced cosmetologist. To achieve the desired goals, you should follow all the doctor’s recommendations. A responsible campaign will ensure a lasting, pronounced result. The doctor will assess the condition of the integument, take an anamnesis, and may require consultation with specialists. The preparation stage begins a month in advance and includes a number of rules:

It is advisable to add fruit acids to cosmetic products, this will enhance the effect of peeling; the concentration of retinol should not exceed 1%;
for dry skin, as well as for patients over 35–40 years of age, it is recommended to carry out mesotherapy and biorevitalization first;

You cannot sunbathe, visit the solarium, and you must refuse the pool, sauna, or gym a week before the scheduled session;
The composition must be tested for a possible allergic reaction.

How does the procedure work?

Retinoic peeling can only be entrusted to a specialist. After examining and assessing the condition of the skin, a cosmetologist will be able to select the optimal composition and means for preparing the skin.
