Very often we don't pay attention to the health of our back skin until problems arise. But summer comes, and you want to bare your shoulders (or a dress with an open back requires it), then you have to blush because of your negligence in relation to the skin of your back. Try to understand that only the skin of your face requires care. Deep atraumatic back cleansing is a new care procedure. Let's take a closer look at it.

What is deep atraumatic back cleansing?

The term “atraumatic” reveals the meaning of this cosmetic method. The surface of the skin is cleaned carefully, without injury. At the same time, the procedure is considered deep and is carried out in a salon using professional products.

When talking about cleaning, we mean peeling using chemicals or using ultrasound. In the process of cleaning the back, the specialist uses a certain set of acids. They are not concentrated enough to leave a burn (this is used in medium peeling), but they are quite suitable for removing dead cells, sebaceous plugs in pores, and sebum.

The best remedy for blackheads on the back

Clay masks help a lot, but they are inconvenient to do on your back yourself. This is the only reason for their unpopularity.

Nevertheless, they are considered not only the most effective, but also the safest method:

• Gelatin (tsp) is poured into 50 ml of warm water and set aside for a quarter of an hour.
• Black clay is diluted with water to make a paste.
• Combine the clay and gelatin masses, add lightly beaten egg whites.

Who is recommended for deep atraumatic back cleansing?

It is believed that cleansing should occur independently, i.e. without outside help. The sebaceous glands secrete enough secretion onto the surface of the skin to keep it smooth and soft, and its protective function to work.

Due to the deplorable state of the environment, the influence of ultraviolet radiation, hormone dysfunction and improper care, the condition of the sebaceous glands becomes worse. There is an excess of fat on the skin. If dead cells are not exfoliated in time, they accumulate in the ducts of the sebaceous glands. When exposed to air, fat oxidizes, which causes comedones - the so-called “black spots” - to appear. The source of inflammation is called acne (or scientifically, acne), and such skin is considered problematic.

Cleaning is prescribed for the following cosmetic defects:

• Excessive sebum secretion;
• Increased dryness;
• Enlarged pores;
• Blackheads, pimples;
• The appearance of acne;
• Formation of age spots;
• Photoaging;
• First age wrinkles;
• Aging skin;
• Gray or uneven skin color;
• Uneven skin surface.

Acid solutions have a beneficial effect on skin of any age. In addition, atraumatic back cleansing normalizes the synthesis of your own collagen and elastin fibers, which means that the process of rejuvenation is underway.

Reasons for appearance and varieties

The surface of the skin on the back is literally dotted with pores: in an area of ​​1 cm2 their number reaches hundreds. Thanks to them, the skin can breathe, and the sebum secreted through the glands serves as protection against drying out. But often the normal activity of the pores is interfered with by plugs consisting of fatty secretions, dead epithelial cells and dust. On the surface, sebum hardens, its outer layer oxidizes and darkens. A point appears. Such skin defects on the back are called comedones.

The cause of black comedones is the intensive production of fatty secretions. An anomaly occurs due to such problems in the body:

1. Hormonal imbalance. This imbalance is typical for adolescents during puberty, for women during pregnancy or menopause.
2. Genetic predisposition. Children inherit pore size, skin structure and intense secretion of the sebaceous glands.
3. Failure to comply with hygiene standards.
4. Unbalanced diet.
5. Unsuitable cosmetics.
6. Negligent or excessive care of the skin of the back.
7. Synthetic clothing and underwear.
8. Frequent stress.
9. Unfavorable environment.

Rashes occur where the sebaceous glands are most active: on the face, neck, chest, and often comedones on the back. They are open (black dot) and buried. The former are called blackheads, the latter - whiteheads.

Sometimes quite a lot of black dots appear on the back. The reason is a large number of sebaceous glands. Because the skin on the back is thicker, acne can be very large and deep. If you do not pay attention to the problem, then it is possible that a blackhead with compaction will appear; it can itch and hurt. In the future, a large knot or lump will form on the back. It will be difficult to free yourself from the new acquisition, and the scars will remain forever.

Contraindications to deep atraumatic back cleansing

Although cleaning is safe and low-traumatic, it happens that its implementation may be unacceptable. First of all, this concerns individual intolerance to drugs contained in the acids used.

In addition, there are some other contraindications:

• Skin diseases, including eczema, herpes, psoriasis;
• Pustular skin lesions caused by an increase in the number of staphylococcal or streptococcal bacteria;
• Damage to the epidermis (burns, cuts, abrasions);
• Keloid scars;
• Large or unusual moles;
• Oncological diseases.

When these phenomena are not observed, nothing will interfere with the back cleaning procedure.

Skin of any age (no matter what quality) needs care, which will result in a disinfecting, restorative, rejuvenating and nourishing effect.

Maximum results can be achieved if the skin is not damaged and there is no risk to blood vessels. The effect lasts for a long time and does not require a tedious recovery period.

What are the benefits of deep atraumatic back cleansing?

• No mechanical injuries that occur during banal home cleaning with your hands, when you have to press, stretch and even slightly tear the fabric;
• Carrying out a procedure that is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, dry, inflamed, aging skin;
• Minimum contraindications (cleaning can be carried out even with progressive rosacea);
• Ridding the epidermis of comedones, pustules (pimples or blackheads), relieving inflammatory processes in certain areas;
• No traces after the procedure (redness disappears in a matter of hours);
• Instant transformation of the skin after cleansing, that is, you don’t have to wait until the skin becomes perfect.

Interestingly, a small concentration of acids makes the procedure painless and does not cause inconvenience. With atraumatic back cleansing, you can only feel a slight tingling sensation if the skin is hypersensitive. Please note that cleaning with acids does not risk spreading infection to the skin. At least, the anti-inflammatory result of cleaning is great, as evidenced by the rapid disappearance of redness.

It is of great importance that the procedure can be performed even in spring and summer. If you have the necessary preparations and knowledge, cleaning can be done at home. Treatment of a certain area of ​​the skin with products is also practiced.

Prevention

Proper nutrition with plenty of vegetables and fruits in your diet will reduce the damage done to your appearance.

Eating right is the easiest way to prevent blackheads. Sweets, flour, coffee, fatty foods, and bad habits aggravate skin problems.

Paying attention to your health will help you avoid problems with the gastrointestinal tract and hormonal levels. To keep your skin toned, you need to remember very simple rules:

• squeezing pimples is an invitation to infections;
• a cleanly washed back almost guarantees the absence of rashes, dots are no exception;
• neutral gels and foams are optimal for caring for problem areas;
• soap is not suitable for any skin type;
• only the systematic use of masks and scrubs can solve the problem;
• All cosmetics used must combat comedones.

Don't expect miracles: treating annoying spots will take a lot of time. Therefore, it is better to successfully prevent their occurrence than to vigorously fight them later.

How to perform deep atraumatic back cleansing using chemical peeling

Cleaning is carried out in several stages.

1. Standard treatment with a cleansing agent based on skin type. Thanks to the product, fat is dissolved, a layer of cosmetics and dust is erased.
2. Peeling using a chemical solution based on fruit acid. The clean skin of the back is covered with a mask that protects the skin from external pollution. It opens the pores and partially dissolves dead skin cells of the epidermis. This cleaning is quite feasible at home using low concentration acids. If you want to get the effect of rejuvenating and healing your skin, you should use the mask no more than once a week. To remove inflammation, you can apply it every day.
3. Peeling using high concentration acids. Typically, glycolic acid is combined with sour juice or extract of a certain fruit or berry (lemon, apple, grapes, raspberries, oranges), enzymes of papaya, figs. While applying the mask, the specialist gently massages the skin, helping the acid penetrate deeper into the skin. Increasing the concentration enhances the effect of the procedure: pores open more, the skin warms up, and blackheads can be easily removed.
4. Next, the peeling procedure with enzymes is carried out. It contains whey protein. The goal of this stage is to completely open the pores and make the skin of the back as moist as possible.
5. After completing the peeling procedure, the cosmetologist moisturizes the skin. To do this, cover it with napkins soaked in a moisturizer. Ten minutes is enough - and the napkins are removed, and the skin is treated with antibacterial lotion.
6. The procedure for deep atraumatic back cleansing ends with the application of a special mask with a calming effect to the skin. It contains ingredients that will help remove inflammation and close enlarged pores.

The compositions begin to work immediately after application and within a couple of days after the procedure. During this time, sebaceous plugs dissolve, pores become cleaner, the skin brightens and looks younger.

Progress of laser resurfacing

After an in-person consultation and examination, the doctor determines the type of laser, its power and procedures for maximum effectiveness.

The area of ​​the planned laser treatment is treated with an antiseptic solution and an application cream is applied, with which the patient should remain for 20 to 50 minutes, depending on the selected power and procedure regulations.

After the application anesthesia has taken full effect, the doctor begins the procedure. During grinding, for additional comfort, cold air is applied to the treatment area.

The duration of the procedure directly depends on the laser treatment mode and the area of ​​the treatment area. The back area can be treated partially or completely. On average, the duration of polishing the back area takes 35-50 minutes, excluding the patient’s stay under anesthesia.

Deep atraumatic back cleansing using ultrasonic peeling

The procedure for cleansing the back using ultrasound is divided into several stages. At the first stage, the cosmetologist cleanses the skin with lotion or milk intended for this procedure. Then, using vaporization (steaming), it opens the ducts of the sebaceous glands so that cleaning is more effective.

An excellent result is achieved by ultrasonic cleaning, but a specialist may recommend using a combined back cleaning that includes several types of effects. Combined cleaning combines a hardware method (vacuum or ultrasonic) and mechanical cleaning of the back skin.

The products used for back cleaning have disinfectant and anti-inflammatory properties. Each stage corresponds to certain preparations: preparatory, cleansing, final. In addition, the drugs are actively active for two more days after cleansing, during which the result of the procedure becomes evident: all the “plugs” disappear, inflammation goes away, the oily sheen is replaced by a healthy matte finish.

Cleaning time takes approximately 120 minutes.

The procedure consists of the following steps:

• Cleansing the skin;
• Toning;
• Use of enzymatic peeling (as prescribed);
• Skin preparation (application of hydrating gel);
• Ultrasonic peeling procedure using a special device;
• Applying a mask (if necessary) and unobtrusive massage;
• Application of nourishing serum and finishing cream.

At the last stage of cleaning, special masks, lotions, and creams are used that have a protective effect. They close enlarged pores, promote skin restoration and have an anti-inflammatory effect.

If the direct path is to the salon

The following procedures are the most effective and cannot be done without a specialist:

• Mechanical cleaning

Removing the stratum corneum and sebum accumulated in the pores. It is carried out manually, so it should only be carried out by a professional who follows all the rules for removing comedones. Direct squeezing is preceded by steaming the face.

• Peeling

If you have problem skin, it should be superficial and as delicate as possible. In case of microtraumas and inflammatory processes during the period of exacerbation, cleaning cannot be carried out in this way.
