Comparison with similar procedures
In action, enzyme peeling is similar to chemical peeling. Fruit acids, which are considered the basis of the latter, lead to the destruction of intercellular bonds between dead cells. Therefore, horny scales exfoliate noticeably easier, and the skin is cleansed. Acids are aggressive and irritating.
Enzymatic peeling has a mild effect. It has components similar to natural enzymes designed to break down protein molecules and eliminate intercellular bonds. Although their environment is also acidic, enzymes do not have a strong irritating effect. They are chosen for highly sensitive skin, even with acne, blackheads, inflammation.
Mechanical peeling has a physical effect. Small abrasive particles detach the horny scales, as they do not hold firmly. The pH of the product is neutral, so there will be no irritation, like with an enzyme. Butthe latter is considered more effective, because it affects the entire depth of the stratum corneum, and mechanical cleansing touches the layers sequentially.
Laser peeling involves a kind of annealing of horny particles. The carbon dioxide laser heats the upper layers of the skin to temperatures at which the destruction of intercellular bonds begins, and the scales are easily removed mechanically. In terms of effect, enzyme peeling is slightly inferior to laser peeling, but has a more affordable price.
This peeling involves gentle cleansing, preventing the appearance of pain. After 30 minutes, you can go about your business and enjoy soft skin, which will not leave any imperfections.
