Combined facial cleansing: what is it, reviews, price, before and after photos

There are two options, which differ in the sequence of mechanical and hardware stages. Most often, deep treatment (mechanical cleaning) is carried out first, and then an ultrasonic device is used (hardware care).

Types of procedures and their features:

Mechanical facial cleansing is one of the most popular procedures, which is indicated for problematic and oily skin. Removal of pimples, comedones and blackheads is performed manually by a specialist, followed by the application of an antiseptic. The procedure is quite unpleasant and painful, but it shows highly effective results in cleansing the skin.
Ultrasonic facial cleansing is a hardware procedure that does not injure the skin, performed using an ultrasonic scrubber. Effectively cleanses the deep layers of the epidermis, improves the penetration of active substances. Ultrasonic facial cleansing is ideal for those with sensitive and dry skin.

The essence of the procedure

Combined cleaning is a sequential combination of mechanical (manual, manual) and hardware (ultrasonic or vacuum) cleaning.

The procedure is considered atraumatic and is not accompanied by intense pain. Recommended for normal, oily and combination skin.

Indications:

excess sebum production;
hereditary or acquired keratosis;
uneven skin texture;
the presence of acne, blackheads, pimples;
shallow defects (scars, stretch marks);
swelling;
laxity of the integument;
unhealthy complexion;
enlarged pores;

Combined cleansing eliminates many imperfections, including blackheads, comedones, milia, ulcers, wen, and acne.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Combined cleaning involves preparation for use by the device, then mechanical removal of defects using special tools.

It is not always possible to solve these problems using ultrasound or vacuum. Cleansing clogged pores is carried out in a deeper manual way. Most often, cosmetologists work with a Uno spoon and a Vidal needle.

The result of comprehensive care is:

improvement of blood circulation and cellular respiration of the dermis;
reducing the appearance of pores;
evens out skin texture and tone;
smoothing out fine wrinkles;
normalization of the sebaceous glands;
skin cleansing;
ensuring better permeability of skin care cosmetics.

Advantages

Why is combined peeling better than any other?

Individual approach: the master himself selects the most effective and safe method for cleaning, the possible duration and number of sessions, taking into account all the characteristics of the skin and the scale of the problems. Such measures, of course, will later affect the result.

Low morbidity. Manual cleaning itself is considered an aggressive method, but here ultrasonic cleansing smooths out sharp points, regulating the risk of infection. The likelihood of painful scars and redness where acne or comedones were removed manually is also low. Plus, not all of the skin being cleaned is manually processed, only the most problematic part. Subsequent rehabilitation is quite short.

Combined cleaning is deservedly considered universal. After all, it is suitable for clients with any skin, of any age. The master himself calculates the degree of manual or ultrasonic influence.

The gentle effect is in good harmony with the effectiveness of the procedure itself. Result: soft, clean, pleasant skin, no acne, no annoying blackheads and subcutaneous fat has been reduced to a normal, healthy level.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages	Flaws
High efficiency due to a combination of different techniques. Short recovery period. Low percentage of injuries. A one-time solution to many related problems.	Pain and discomfort may occur during the mechanical stage of cleaning. Many contraindications. Possibility of side effects and complications (scars and marks). A complex protocol that can be performed efficiently by an experienced specialist. High price.

Consequences

In the first 3-7 days, temporary complications may occur in the form of redness, swelling, peeling, and swelling. This condition is normal and goes away on its own. This is how the skin reacts to external influences.

However, if the rules of the technique were not followed, or the patient did not follow all the recommendations during the rehabilitation period, then the likelihood of more serious consequences increases several times.

The most common of these include bruising, persistent swelling, scarring, inflammation, and hematoma formation. Less commonly, there may be burns from ultrasonic radiation.

How does cleaning work?

Preparation

The quality of the procedure is influenced not only by the individual characteristics of the skin and the competence of the cosmetologist, but also by preliminary preparation. It will avoid microtraumas, dry out the dermis, enhance the effect of medications and speed up recovery.

Preparation includes:

thorough make-up removal;
peeling;
performing cleansing masks;
using a tonic with medicinal herbs.

A week before the procedure you should avoid:

tanning (you cannot visit the beach, solarium);
drinking alcoholic beverages, smoking;
chemical peelings and any hardware procedures;
taking medications.

Comprehensive care is not carried out on inflamed skin, so the session will have to be postponed if the dermis is in a restless state.

Stages

First, the sebaceous plugs that are open after steaming are easily removed by squeezing. Many cosmetologists work with their fingers, which they wrap in sanitary napkins.

Ultrasonic exposure is created by a special device called a purifier or scrubber. To remove dirt, the emitter (in the form of a thin blade) is moved over the surface.

The penetration of waves into tissue provides massage and promotes:

acceleration of metabolic processes;
maintaining the integrity of the integument;
changes in the conductivity of cell ion channels;
elasticity.

If a vacuum is used, then a device with a nozzle is used, inside of which negative pressure is created. The operating power may vary depending on the area being treated. The device sucks dirt from the skin, providing a massage effect. Thanks to this, nutrients penetrate the skin and blood circulation improves.

Sequencing:

Skin cleansing (gel, milk).
Scrubbing (scrub, gommage). Manipulation allows you to relax the muscles and relieve tension.
Steaming. It is performed with a vaporizer, using a special loosening gel or by cold hydrogenation.
Degreasing and disinfection of skin.
Mechanical cleaning. Performed with tools or hands. It lasts up to 20 minutes, since further manipulations are complicated by the closing of the pores and the patient’s discomfort.
Application of antiseptic and conductive gel. The most commonly used products are Gess, Holy Land, and Beauty Star brands.
Ultrasonic surface treatment. Gentle circular movements are made, the shoulder blade is at an angle of 45º.
The use of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory agents to narrow pores.
Applying a soothing mask.
Using cream (selected according to skin type).

Typically a session lasts about 1.5 hours or more.

Many clinics and salons offer comprehensive cleaning in various combinations. You can opt for atraumatic care using vacuum, ultrasound or laser, which will be supplemented with mechanical peeling.

Course duration

Combined cleaning is a one-time procedure. A repeated session is carried out depending on the skin type and the degree of its contamination:

for dry – once every 3-4 months;
for oily people - once every two months.

Duration of saving results

After combined cleansing, the skin remains smooth and healthy for 2-6 weeks. It should be noted that these figures are very arbitrary and may differ both up and down, it all depends on the oiliness of the patient’s skin, the regularity and quality of skin care.

The procedure is one-time and does not imply a course. It is extremely rare for cosmetologists to recommend 2 or 3 sessions in a row to achieve pronounced results.

Further recommendations

Often after manipulation, the cosmetologist offers healing and improving skin conditions:

Darsonvalization. The use of high frequency current prevents infection and inflammation.
Cryotherapy. Helps improve blood flow and muscle tone, narrow pores and eliminate puffiness.
Infrared rays. They reach the deep layer and heal microcracks, activate the growth of new cells, and affect local immunity.

At home you need to follow some rules:

do not sunbathe;
do not allow the skin to dry out;
do not use decorative cosmetics and alcohol-containing products;
do not visit the sauna, bathhouse, solarium;
increase fluid intake;
apply sunscreen.

Buyanov Sergey Yurievich (Expert Doctor):
Precautionary measures after the procedure are associated with an increase in local skin temperature, at which the pores expand, sweat and fat glands open, which reduces the effect of the procedure to almost zero.

Precautionary measures

The procedure is safe if performed in a specialized salon or clinic by an experienced cosmetologist or doctor.

Incompetent actions are fraught with complications:

hyperemia;
burns;
inflammation;
discomfort and tightness of the skin;
severe peeling;
an increase in the number of lesions.

Contraindications

psoriasis;
eczema;
dermatitis;
exacerbation of herpes;
vitiligo;
neuralgia of the facial nerve;
metal structures in the mouth;
implantation of gold threads into facial tissue;
pregnancy, menstruation, lactation;
oncology;
diabetes.

Contraindications

Cleaning should not be carried out if:

there is dermatitis;
eczema;
rosacea;
psoriasis;
furunculosis;
herpes;
demodicosis;
acute inflammation;
rosacea;
vitiligo;
increased (excessive) dry skin;
allergic reactions;
there are large moles (specifically in the treated areas, although they are avoided if possible, this is not a categorical contraindication);
there are fresh abrasions, cuts or cracks;
heat;
fever;
neuralgia;
high blood pressure;
there are disturbances in the blood circulation;
diseases affecting the heart or blood vessels;
blood diseases;
bronchial asthma;
oncology;
epilepsy;
myoma;
there are endocrine disorders;
metal implants;
leather reinforcement (done with gold, possibly platinum threads);
pregnancy;
the active part of the menstrual cycle is underway;
low threshold for pain sensitivity.

It can be seen that the list of possible contraindications is quite extensive. After all, the procedure is complex, and before starting, the client discusses everything with the cosmetologist, undergoes an initial consultation, when the master assesses the condition of the face, the presence of fresh wounds and other problems.
