Acne can appear at any age, both in women and men. The back is especially susceptible to these skin defects.

Acne reduces the quality of life: it is impossible to wear open dresses, there is a feeling of awkwardness on the beach, in the pool, in the sauna. But you shouldn’t worry: in cosmetology there are effective ways to get rid of unpleasant skin manifestations.

Causes of problem skin

With the help of cosmetology, you can get rid of various skin defects, but the most important thing is to identify and eliminate the cause of their appearance.
Procedures in the salon are only a temporary measure; it is best to follow an integrated approach to achieve the desired effect. The causes of the appearance of blackheads, age spots and other elements can be divided into two large groups: external and internal. The doctor’s further tactics depend on the cause. External reasons:

• wearing tight clothes that are made of synthetic materials of poor quality: increased sweating begins, and if skin breathing is impaired, this is a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria;
• unsuitable cosmetics and detergents (allergic reactions);
• excessive exposure to the sun or solarium;
• stress;
• increased consumption of fried, fatty foods;
• poor hygiene: washing too rarely or too often.

Internal reasons:

• hormonal imbalances: they occur in adolescents, women during pregnancy, in people with endocrine pathologies and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Incorrect selection of hormonal drugs also negatively affects the condition of the skin;
• decreased immunity.

At what age is the first procedure necessary?

Typically, rashes of various types on the back appear in adolescence - around 12-16 years. Everything is connected with changes in the hormonal background of a young body. Girls and boys who face skin problems on their backs are embarrassed to wear revealing outfits and sunbathe on the beach.

It is necessary to start treatment as early as possible, do not delay - with age, this problem does not go away on its own, it only gets worse, in addition to ordinary small pimples, large acne, blackheads, comedones are formed and, as a result, scars from them, which are difficult to get rid of.

Kinds

For any type of cleaning, a professional line of cosmetics is used - for example, Christina or HolyLand. Depending on the severity of skin problems, the cosmetologist chooses one of the following types of cleansing:

1. Manual (mechanical) cleaning. With this cleansing you can remove visible dirt, acne and milia - small white blistered formations - from your back.
2. Ultrasonic atraumatic cleaning is carried out using a special device that emits microwaves of the required frequency. These waves act on the skin pores, “knocking out” comedones and blackheads that have formed due to excess sebum production.
3. Combined - includes several methods of influencing the skin, thereby ensuring maximum effect. Cosmetologists usually recommend this type of procedure: if the sebaceous glands work intensively and the pores are deeply clogged, then the previous types of cleansing individually are ineffective. Combined cleaning consists of two stages: first, a mechanical effect is applied to the skin, and then hardware methods are used (ultrasonic correction, laser, etc.). With this procedure, you can even smooth out small expression wrinkles (using chemical peeling).

How is back cleaning done?

There is a clear sequence of the procedure. At the very beginning, the cosmetologist cleanses the client’s skin in order to get rid of external contamination. Scrubs and lotions are usually used: with their help, the skin can be prepared for the next stage. You should never skip cleansing, as sweat and other contaminants can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and contribute to the development of infection.

The next stage involves working with your hands. Before starting the procedure, the cosmetologist must clean his hands and use gauze or thin gloves during the process. To make the manipulation easier, cosmetic instruments are used - Vidal loop, Uno spoon and others. A beauty salon specialist manually removes pimples and cleanses pores. This is done by pressing along the edges of the problem area; as a result of the applied pressure, the contents of the pores and pustules come out. Dense pimples (milia) can be pre-pierced with a thin needle for easier removal.

The final stage is disinfection. The skin is treated with antiseptic solutions, which protects against the penetration of bacteria into the pores. The narrowing of pores under the influence of an antiseptic prevents re-contamination of the skin. At the end, the cosmetologist applies a moisturizing cream to the affected area: with its help, the skin retains moisture longer and recovers faster after the service provided.

Manual dermatological back cleaning is carried out in many clinics and beauty salons in Moscow and other cities. Registration is carried out by phone or online, which is very convenient. The average cost of such a procedure is 4 thousand rubles.

To achieve the desired result, it may take not one procedure, but a whole course. The duration of the treatment course is determined individually by the doctor, based on the condition of the skin of the back.

Results of the procedure

Mechanical back cleaning in the salon is good because thanks to it it is possible to cope with even the most advanced situation, get rid of deep sebaceous plugs, blackheads and comedones. This procedure will solve the problem of enlarged pores and help stabilize the sebaceous glands. It is advisable to carry out the procedure regularly - this will help achieve the optimal effect. Based on the condition of the client’s skin, the cosmetologist will determine the recommended frequency of cleaning.

Indications and contraindications for back cleaning

The procedure is recommended for all those who want to have clean, smooth and healthy back skin. Special indications are considered

- puberty;

- oily skin;

- tendency to abundant formation of acne, blackheads and other things.

Contraindications include a very high pain threshold and the presence of skin diseases that require consultation with a dermatologist.

Recommendations after the procedure

Regardless of what kind of cleaning was performed on the client, the rules of care are the same. The most important thing is to prevent contamination of cleansed skin and allow it to recover faster. It is recommended to follow several rules:

• on the first day after cleaning, the surface of the back should not be touched with hands, especially not washed or treated;
• do not use scrubs for a week;
• carry out other cosmetic procedures with caution (thread lifting, injection techniques, peelings are prohibited - it is better to consult a doctor);
• avoid visiting the sauna and solarium for 3-4 days after the procedure;
• Do not under any circumstances apply cosmetics to cleansed skin.

This is just a small list of recommendations that need to be taken into account after cosmetic cleansing. You must remember that you should trust your skin only to qualified specialists who will carry out the procedure in compliance with the rules of asepsis and without the slightest harm to health. After completing the procedure, the cosmetologist will help you choose individual care for your skin, so that the effect of cleansing will last for a long time.

Features of combined facial cleansing

Before starting the procedure, the facial skin must be thoroughly cleansed, removing makeup and dust. To do this, you can use special tonics, gels or milk.

To open the skin pores and allow the plugs to be removed freely, the face is covered with a layer of special gel.

The most problematic areas of the skin are mechanically cleaned with a Uno spoon.

The remaining areas are cleaned with an ultrasonic scrubber.

After cleansing, the doctor applies a creamy antibacterial mask to the epidermis.

In some cases, darsonvalization is additionally performed - a physiotherapeutic effect with a special device that generates high-frequency currents on superficial tissues and mucous membranes.

At the end of the procedure, a layer of soothing cream is applied to the face, corresponding to the patient’s skin type.

After visiting the salon

Regardless of the type of procedure performed, the client will have to be careful for several days (or better yet, a couple of weeks).

• Avoid physical activity that may cause excessive sweating.
• Avoid visiting the beach, and especially the solarium.
• Wear less tight clothing made from synthetic materials. We recommend natural fabrics that need to be ironed first.
• Reduce to a minimum the intake of fatty and, in general, overly spicy, sweet foods.
• Try to stay less in dusty places (beach, nature).
• For the first time, avoid low-alcohol/alcoholic and carbonated sweet drinks, kvass, etc.
• Drink plenty of clean water, natural (homemade) unsweetened low-fat yogurt.
• If necessary, irritated areas on the back should be regularly lubricated with a special balm or cream prescribed by a cosmetologist.

Only by adhering to all these rules can you achieve the desired result - clean, smooth skin on your back, which will require visiting beauty salons only occasionally to maintain the result.

Mechanical method

With proper preparation and implementation of the procedure, a long-lasting desired result is guaranteed without such unpleasant consequences as scars. During the cleaning process, the master squeezes out the contents of the pathological element with a special loop, tweezers, or even with his hands (wearing sterile gloves).

• The duration of the procedure under mechanical influence, taking into account preparatory and final work, can take from half an hour to 2.5 hours. It all depends on the area of ​​skin that needs treatment.
• Sometimes, to achieve the full effect, you have to perform this “ritual” several times.

Contraindications

Ultrasonic cleaning is contraindicated for people:

• those suffering from epilepsy;
• cardiac diseases;
• diseases of internal organs;
• in the presence of open wounds.

Mechanical , combined methods, laser resurfacing should not be used if there are:

• wounds and cracks;
• fungal infections;
• psoriasis;
• eczema;
• dermatitis;
• herpes;
• many moles in the work area.

It is not recommended to undergo cleansing for pregnant and breastfeeding women, people suffering from diabetes, hypertension, or cancer.

Final events

After cosmetic treatment of the skin, the specialist is obliged to carry out additional disinfection of the surface of the back, “calm” the most affected areas, and narrow the pores. A special clay or alginate mask works favorably in this situation.

The cosmetologist sets a date for the next visit - you need to conduct an examination and determine the need for additional/repeat procedures.
