Today we will look at reviews about which peeling is best for facial rejuvenation after 40 years and beyond. After all, women need cleansing, rejuvenation and stimulation of natural processes in the epidermis and dermis, starting from the age of 30.
During this period, the primary task is to help the body mobilize hidden reserves. And peelings play an important role in this matter. They act on different layers of the epidermis and dermis, depending on the type of procedure. Whether you do the manipulation in the salon or at home, you need to clearly know all the visible benefits of your actions.
Reviews from cosmetologists about which facial peeling is best
It's time to consider the most effective peeling for each specific age. And naturally, the authoritative opinion of specialists will play a key role in choosing a rejuvenation method.
For rejuvenation after 30 years
Cosmetologists recommend turning to superficial facial peeling services. Age-related changes at this age are minimal and a deeper impact is hardly justified.
- Brossage is one of the most gentle and gentle methods. The procedure involves removing dead cells from the surface using rotating brushes or sponges. A special peeling cream is first applied to the skin, and the cleansing tool is selected according to the client’s individual parameters.
- Ultrasonic cleaning is another soft hardware method that does not cause pain and does not require a long rehabilitation period. Using ultrasonic vibrations, the upper dead layer of the epidermis is removed. At the same time, the waves affect the tissues, improving blood circulation, accelerating regeneration processes and stimulating internal processes not only in epidermal tissues, but also in the dermis.
Victoria Igorevna, cosmetologist, Moscow
“I recommend to my young clients not to resort to too aggressive methods of affecting the skin if the aging process is minimal. Although at this age there may be different options. But, as a rule, women from 30 to 35-40 years old only need to undergo a course of ultrasound procedures or brossage to put their appearance in order. It should be noted that preventive sessions must be repeated at least once every six months."
Chemical exfoliation using fruit acids is a method that can be used not only as a salon treatment, but also at home. After 30 years, such peeling provides gentle care, removing not only dead cells, but also pigmentation. Both purchased products and home-made products from natural ingredients can be used as the active composition.
Inga, cosmetologist-dermatologist, St. Petersburg
“I myself use acid peels to solve age-related problems. I want to say that I never recommend that my clients at this age resort to radical measures such as deep cleansing of the skin by any means. After 30, a superficial effect is enough to make your face glow with youth and beauty. And, of course, regular use of skincare products based on your skin type and age. An integrated approach is the key to success"
For rejuvenation after 40 years
Facial procedures after 40 years are more aggressive and involve a whole range of effects on the skin in order to eliminate signs of age-related changes.
Only a professional can definitely answer which peeling is best for people over 40 years old. The cosmetologist conducts a comprehensive examination of the epidermis, takes into account all problems, possible contraindications, and only then prescribes a course of procedures.
Please note, this is a course, since it is simply impossible to resolve all the issues that arise at this age in one session. The effect can be noticeable after the first manipulation. But to consolidate the result, it is necessary to bring the matter to the end.
Exfoliating peels for the face after 40 years are chemical. Light, superficial acid peels with an active substance concentration of 10 to 20% can be performed at home. But it is better not to use more aggressive means on your own.
Medium chemical peels (salicylic, almond, retinoic and others) affect the deep layers of the epidermis, stimulating the internal processes of metabolism and regeneration, oxygen saturation and tissue nutrition. As a result of this effect, a lifting effect is produced, wrinkles are eliminated, the facial contour is tightened, color and microrelief are improved.
Andrey Maksimovich, dermatocosmetologist, doctor of the highest category, Moscow
“For women over 40 years old, I recommend mid-type chemical exfoliation procedures. You need to do a course of procedures twice a year, not more often. The result reaches its maximum after about a month, when the recovery period is completely over. I would like to note that procedures carried out correctly and in full produce a cumulative effect.”
For many women over 40, cosmetologists recommend laser exfoliation or fractional laser rejuvenation. The laser stream, divided into the finest rays, literally evaporates the upper keratinized layer of the epidermis. As a result of this effect, the production of your own collagen and elastin improves, which has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin.
Irina, cosmetologist, Kazan
“Laser peeling has always been considered an effective method of rejuvenation. In addition, it does not cause painful sensations, such as with a medium chemical peel. The rehabilitation period requires compliance with certain rules and precautions. But the result is worth the effort. You will preserve the youth and beauty of your face for a long time"
For rejuvenation after 45 years
What kind of peeling is needed after 45 years depends on the individual characteristics of the client. And also on how carefully the woman took care of her appearance before this period. Naturally, well-groomed skin will not require such drastic measures as neglected skin.
However, nature takes its toll and after 45, age-related changes will be quite pronounced. Superficial procedures are not enough here.
Among the drastic measures for rejuvenation, deep chemical peeling is distinguished. This manipulation is performed only in a hospital setting, often under general anesthesia. The sensations are very painful both during the exposure to carbolic acid (it is on its basis that deep peeling products have been developed) and during the rehabilitation period.
Anna Vasilyeva, aesthetic surgery doctor, Murmansk
“Deep chemical peeling is a procedure similar to plastic surgery, only without the use of a scalpel. In essence, the acid causes such a severe chemical burn of the skin that all layers of the epidermis and even the upper layer of the dermis are affected. But the result is impressive - about 10 years are visually reset. This procedure turns out to be effective even at an older age.”
Laser resurfacing is the same as laser peeling, only the light beam penetrates into the deep layers of the epidermis and dermis. After a course of procedures, the client is relieved of even pronounced signs of aging in the form of deep wrinkles, jowls, folds, sagging contours, and a double chin.
Natalya, cosmetologist of the highest category, Samara
“Laser resurfacing is an effective method for mature women. Although the recovery period after each procedure is quite long and difficult. It is necessary to follow the post-mortem rules, protect the face from ultraviolet radiation and many other nuances, which the specialist will tell each of his clients about. But the result is worth the effort - at 45 you can easily look 10 years younger.”
Mechanism of chemical peeling
Essentially, a chemical peel is a controlled burn of a specific area of the skin. Such an effect is necessary to restore the protective properties of the skin, forcing cells to renew and produce active substances. As a rule, the procedure is performed on the face (chemical peeling of the face), but it is also possible to treat other parts of the body - neck, hands, décolleté.
The degree of burn depends on the concentration of acid in the composition. After exfoliation (removal of the upper layers of the dermis), the cells begin to actively renew themselves and produce growth factors. The skin actively produces hyaluronic acid, and new elastin and collagen molecules are produced. This helps to moisturize and tighten the skin, increasing its elasticity.
Along with the improvement of skin tone, its texture is evened out and small surface wrinkles are smoothed out. The procedure also helps to get rid of other skin defects (hyperpigmentation, post-acne, scars).
Summarizing the above, we can say that chemical peeling helps:
- refresh and rejuvenate the face;
- remove age spots;
- cause activation of skin cells (due to anti-inflammatory effect);
- stimulate the active production of hyaluronic acid (i.e. achieve skin hydration);
- achieve restoration of density and elasticity of the epidermis;
- achieve rejuvenation of the structure of the dermis;
- restore the protective properties of the skin (restoration of the skin barrier).

Customer reviews of the best peelings after 40 years
Marina, 42 years old, Tver
“I did retinoic peeling after 40 years, as my cosmetologist advised me. Contrary to all the horror stories I was told about mid-grade chemical peels, I did not turn into a monster with a flaky face. However, I still had to stay at home for a couple of days. The peeling was noticeable and it was necessary to lubricate the face a couple of times a day, first with panthenol, and then with moisturizing and nourishing creams. But a week later I was showing off my “new” face to the envy of my friends and delighting the stronger half of our office.”
Elena, 44 years old, Saratov
“After reading reviews from doctors about peelings for rejuvenation after 40 years, I went to the salon. I’ll tell the truth that I was going to have a hardware procedure – a laser one. But I was stopped by the price and the need to do a whole course. This took a significant toll on my pocket. So I decided to do a chemical peel. I was assured that it was no less effective and cheaper. Salicylic peeling suited me in all respects. I didn’t regret what I did for a minute because I was satisfied with the result. Now I’ll go again in six months”
Anna, 41 years old, Moscow
“I have contraindications against ultrasound and some other hardware procedures. So I didn’t have much choice but to do a chemical peel - I really wanted and needed to look at least five years younger than my peers. A reunion of graduates awaited ahead. A cosmetologist recommended retinoic peeling and said that she does it herself. Imagine my surprise when I found out that she was 43 years old. And she looked at most 32. I trusted completely and was right. Now only this master and only this peeling"
Most women prefer chemical peels. Why? Yes, because hardware procedures cause concern for many. Well, there is a rather impressive list of contraindications, much more than those of chemical procedures. And an important factor is the cost of the issue. Although beauty has no price, but still...
Home facial care
Evgrafova Anastasia Andreevna is the author of the article “How to look young after 35 years.”
When you are a little over 30, as the famous song says, you increasingly think about how to preserve the beauty and youth of your skin. In the morning, you probably notice a lack of sufficient hydration, the fatigue of the working day is reflected on the face with more and more wrinkles, and nasolabial folds and between the eyebrows no longer disappear after gymnastics for the facial muscles. Looking with envy at your friends who are older in age but look younger, you are planning to look into cosmetology, but you just can’t find the time.
Anastasia Andreevna is sure that such women are simply afraid that they will have to often come to the cosmetologist and this will seriously “hit” the family budget. Although in reality, home care, which a specialist will one day select for you, is much more important, and very few serious procedures in facial cosmetology are needed.
– If we do not rely today on the fact that the condition of the skin largely depends on genetics, then by the age of 35 a woman should use several cosmetics morning and evening to maintain ideal condition. In the evening, be sure to apply a cream that is oily in texture and moisturizing. There should be a special night cream in your cosmetic bag. At rest, the facial muscles relax and the skin takes almost all the nutrients from the cosmetic product.
In the morning, you should definitely wash your face, freeing your skin from dust and microparticles. By washing your face, you open your pores for the penetration of cosmetics appropriate to the time of day.
Water plays a huge role in facial cosmetology. Wash your face with milk or foam if you have dry skin and wash gel if you have oily skin. After this, toning is required, wipe your face and neck with toner. The tonic neutralizes the effect of hard water on delicate facial skin, restores the natural balance of the skin, and eliminates traces of irritation. If necessary, you already apply cream and elements of decorative cosmetics onto the tonic.
Summary
Professional cleaning and exfoliation is useful at any age. The skin requires careful treatment, since its appearance is directly proportional to the efforts you put into achieving your goal.
As a result of exfoliation, women can look many times younger, more attractive, fresher, and more impressive. So why not take advantage of all the benefits of civilization, which are the new generation of rejuvenating cosmetic procedures?!
