Rashes on the back are an extremely unpleasant thing. She can spoil the mood and limit the choice of open outfits for any beauty. In addition, acne can signal that a person has certain problems in the body. In this situation, regular cleaning of the back is necessary.
Why is skin cleansing necessary?
Human skin is a living organ that performs protective functions, it is a kind of barrier (it keeps dust and dirt on its surface). Moreover, it secretes the waste products of the body along with sebum and cleanses it in this way.
All this, as well as dead particles of the dermis, must be removed - ordinary washing and rubbing with cosmetics (tonic, micellar water) is not enough. Therefore, back cleaning is widely practiced in cosmetology, the frequency of procedures depends on the quality and characteristics of the patient's skin.
At what age is the first procedure needed?
Usually various types of rashes on the backappear in adolescence - at about 12-16 years. Everything is connected with a change in the hormonal background of a young organism. Girls and guys who face skin problems on their backs shy away from wearing revealing outfits, sunbathing on the beach.
It is necessary to start treatment as early as possible, do not delay it - with age, this problem does not go away by itself, it only gets worse, in addition to the usual small pimples, large acne, blackheads, comedones form and, as a result, scars from them, from hard to get rid of.
What will the doctor say?
Safe-at-a-glance back acne cleaning without first consulting an appropriate specialist can pose serious threats.
Therefore, it is very important to be examined by an endocrinologist, dermatologist and gastroenterologist.
- The dermatologist will examine the inflammation on the epidermis of the back and other areas and determine whether it is really just a cosmetic problem, not related to deeper diseases (allergies, infections, viruses). He will send to the laboratory, where they will take scrapings from problem areas. If necessary, based on the results of the analyzes received, he can prescribe a certain set of procedures.
- Endocrinologist first of all will help to exclude the presence of metabolic problems in the body. Ultrasound of the thyroid gland and other organs, hormonal tests, checking the height-weight ratio and other medical measures can reveal the true essence of the problem. If there is none, you can safely go to the beautician.
- Gastroenterologist (nutritionist) will appointanalyzes of a general nature, will send for an ultrasound examination of the digestive system to identify potential diseases. If there are none, then cleaning the skin of the back is not contraindicated.
A little about nutrition
Everyone knows about the harm that "bad" foods cause to the body and appearance. In the presence of problematic skin, they should be immediately excluded. It is better to beware of “he althy” yogurts, conditionally natural smoked meats, satisfying fatty foods and overeating.
Types of rashes on the dermis
Cleansing of the skin can be considered a really high-quality and effective procedure only if the beautician correctly determines the type of rashes on the epidermis. After all, the method of preparing the surface of the skin for the procedure, cleansing methods, final measures and the duration of the effect depend on this.
- The appearance of comedones of an open type, the so-called "black dots", occurs when the sebaceous glands are blocked and inflammation is caused by bacteria. Getting rid of them is pretty easy. A standard mechanical effect with cosmetic tweezers / loop with preliminary disinfection of the skin and subsequent narrowing of the pores (applying a clay mask) will do.
- Closed comedones are less noticeable on the back, but very noticeable with tactile contact. The master, before removing the contents, opens each "tubercle" with a thin needle or scarifier. Otherwise, the technique is indistinguishable from the above, with the exception of the finishing procedure. Afterto remove the remnants of the mask, it is worth “walking” over the affected areas with a laser. It is quite expensive, but effective.
- Pustules and their more complex form (nodular lesions) are precisely those "adolescent" large acne that most often occur mixed with open comedones. Mechanical cleaning of the back in this situation is carried out in conjunction with ultrasonic treatment of the skin. This allows for longer-term results.
- The only thing that no cosmetologist is able to cope with is large encapsulated fat accumulations that occur already in adulthood. Atheromas, like cysts, are recommended to be removed exclusively by surgery. Only the smoothing of residual postoperative scars is in the power of the cosmetologist.
Salon or home treatment - which do you prefer?
If any type of acne occurs, it is not recommended to deal with them on your own - this will only aggravate the situation. Even if the rash appears to be gone, some of the sebaceous fluid affected by bacteria may remain in the deeper layers of the skin and the problem will manifest itself in a more complex form later.
Back cleaning in the salon is carried out under sterile conditions using special equipment and preparations. Yes, and in full, that is, it is extremely difficult to process the entire surface of the back at home even with an assistant.
The only thing you can do at home is to carefully monitor your hygiene - regular change of clothes,bed linen, washing with washcloths and special detergents. Of course, a he althy lifestyle is no less important (good sleep, a reasonable alternation of rest and work).
Types of cosmetic cleansing - what will the specialist offer?
In the field of dermatology and cosmetology, there are more and more competing procedures of this type. Back cleaning from acne in the salon is selected exclusively individually and depends on many factors: the wishes of the client, his financial capabilities, but most importantly, the recommendations of a specialist. The price depends on the type of processing (the average cost is about 3000-4000 rubles, although you can find options both much cheaper and more expensive).
Mechanical method
With proper preparation and implementation of the procedure, a long-lasting desired result is guaranteed without such unpleasant consequences as scars. The master in the process of cleaning squeezes out the contents of the pathological element with a special loop, tweezers or even hands (in sterile gloves).
- The duration of the procedure with mechanical action, taking into account the preparatory and final work, can take from half an hour to 2.5 hours. It all depends on the area of the skin that needs to be treated.
- Sometimes, to achieve the full effect, you have to perform such a "ritual" several times.
Ultrasonic back cleaning
This is an extremely gentle and almost painless method of exposure to the affected epidermis with an ultrasonic wave. Of course, he will not get rid of large comedones, but dead particles, pollutiondeletes fine.
- Due to the favorable anti-inflammatory, bactericidal and soothing effect, this procedure is often combined with other methods of exposure.
- Ultrasound takes a small amount of time / money from the patient, and there are many indications for it.
- As an added bonus - a noticeable lightening of the surface of the back, tightening and micro-massage of subcutaneous tissues.
Vacuum technique
This procedure is not very popular due to low efficiency. This superficial method will not work for clients with deep, large acne. People with fragile vessels should avoid vacuum cleaning - small crescent bruises may appear.
Negative pressure conditions are created on the surface of the epidermis with the help of a special nozzle connected to the device. Simply put, the contents of the blackheads are sucked out.
Combining vacuum with mechanical action on the skin, you can eliminate the potential appearance of scars, additionally massage, tighten surface integuments.
Chemical Methods
Unable to fully cope with deep skin lesions, the technique, however, has a very positive effect and is recommended after several mechanical cleanings.
The cost and duration of chemical cleansing procedures directly depend on the compositions chosen and applied to the back. The more natural, more effective and better the product,the more impressive the price. In order not to go home with a burned red back that will heal for three or more weeks, you need to prepare - carefully approach the choice of the master, and also inform him of all the discomfort during the cleaning process.
The rehabilitation period after dry cleaning depends on the type and aggressiveness of the composition. In any case, the recovery process will take a couple of weeks, so it’s better to forget about the beach, solarium, gym for this time.
Even the safest cleaning of the back is strictly contraindicated in the presence of scratches and other damage on the skin.
Sequence of actions of the master
First of all, a potential client must choose a beauty salon, or even better, a cosmetology center where he is going to carry out this procedure. It is important that the institution has a good reputation, a large number of favorable reviews from patients.
After consultation and examination, the master cosmetologist will determine the type of procedure. For some, only ultrasonic cleaning of the back will give the desired result, others will have to experience more serious procedures.
Preparation and disinfection
Reviews say that whatever type of cleaning a dermatologist chooses, preparatory measures are extremely important for an effective and safe result.
- The "working area" on the patient's skin is thoroughly disinfected, as well as the entire instrument that will come into contact with it. The cosmetologist must wear disposable sterile gloves, additionally treating them with an antiseptic.
- For the wholea soft peeling cream is applied to the surface of the back, which is then carefully removed with cotton pads.
- To expand the pores a little, as well as soften the contents of the comedones, the back is covered with special compounds and covered with a thin film for 15 minutes.
Carrying out the procedure
The prepared skin surface is cleaned with an ultrasonic scrubber, mechanical instruments or in a way that was previously selected and agreed with the client.
Closing events
After a cosmetic effect on the skin, the specialist must conduct additional disinfection of the back surface, “calm” the most affected areas, and narrow the pores. A special clay or alginate mask works favorably in this situation.
The beautician sets the date for the next visit - it is necessary to conduct an examination and determine the need for additional / repeated procedures.
After visiting the salon
Regardless of the type of procedure performed, the client will have to be careful for several days (or better, a couple of weeks).
- Avoid strenuous activities that can cause profuse sweating.
- Exclude going to the beach, especially the solarium.
- Wear less tight synthetic clothing. We recommend natural fabrics that need to be pre-ironed.
- Reduce to a minimum the intake of fatty and generally overly spicy, sweet foods.
- Try to be less in dusty places (beach, nature).
- Refuse for the first time from low-alcohol / alcoholic and carbonated sweet drinks, kvass, etc.
- Drink plenty of clean water, natural (homemade) unsweetened low fat yoghurts.
- If necessary, irritated places on the back should be regularly lubricated with a special, appointed beautician, balm, cream.
Only by adhering to all these rules, you can achieve the desired result - clean, smooth skin on the back, which will require visits to beauty parlors only occasionally to maintain the result.
