On a daily basis, our skin suffers from pollution, dirt, the sun… Result: our pores are clogged and dead skin remains on the surface of the epidermis. In order to remedy this, and thus have beautiful healthy skindeep cleaning techniques have emerged. These include peeling, dermabrasion and exfoliation. These treatments have one thing in common: clean the skin and make it brighter. But they don’t use the same technologies to get there. Oriane Derrien, trainer at HydraFacial, sheds light on the subject.
What is exfoliation?
This is certainly the easiest aesthetic act to perform. Exfoliation is done with a scrub that can easily be done at home. This mechanical action aims to remove the dead skin cells closest to the surface. Result after an exfoliating treatment: the skin is smooth and fresh. Bye Bye dirt in the pores!
What is dermabrasion?
Dermabrasion is a stronger exfoliation technique. The instrument used for this treatment polishes the skin by removing the upper layers of damaged skin. This aesthetic treatment is to be carried out by a doctor or a beautician. Unlike exfoliation, dermabrasion penetrates far deeper into the epidermis, and stimulates the growth of a healthy new layer. It can erase scars and small imperfections.
What is a peel?
Peeling is a medical and non-invasive procedure that acts by chemical exfoliation with acids on the skin. This technique therefore consists in applying a chemical substance to the face for a few minutes in order to cause a limited and controlled destruction of the epidermis. Not to be confused with peeling creams with much less powerful effects. The objective of a dermatological peeling is to obtain a regeneration of the layers destroyed by the acids and stimulate the production of elastic fibers and collagen. After the session, the skin is very red. This treatment (not very pleasant) may require social exclusion for a few days while it heals. “since one peels.” explains Oriane Derrien.
