Contraindications for aquapilling
This cosmetic procedure has practically no contraindications, but it should be abandoned in the presence of acute infectious diseases, as well as serious damage to the integrity of the skin (for example, open wounds).
Features of aquapilling
The procedure simultaneously combines the action of air and water, which has a positive effect on the general condition of the skin. There are no contraindications for age or gender.
The cosmetologist independently selects the correct intensity of exposure, taking into account the existing problems and the condition of the skin.
Today, there are several types of aqua peeling for feet:
- deep;
- median;
- surface.
As a rule, the aqua peeling procedure is performed in several stages, the duration of the session is about 20-25 minutes, in the most severe cases it can take an hour, while there is no discomfort or pain.
During an aqua peeling session, the patient can only feel a slight and almost imperceptible tingling sensation on the treated area. To carry out the procedure, no special preparation is required, and after its completion, a long recovery is not required.
Stages of aquapilling
This cosmetic procedure is carried out in several stages:
- First, you need to thoroughly wash the skin of the feet, after which a special lotion is applied, designed for deep cleansing. This tool not only removes dirt residues, but also disinfects the skin.
- Aqua peeling is performed using special equipment. The beautician uses nozzles that are designed for extraction, as well as exposure to a specific area of the skin under high pressure air flow together with saline (a special active agent can be used).
- During aquapilling, the patient receives sensations that are similar to a massage with rather strong pressure. If necessary, the intensity of the procedure can be increased if the air is replaced with carbon dioxide. As a result of this type of exposure, there is an improvement in blood microcirculation and an improvement in the tone of the skin in the treated area.
After completing this cosmetic procedure, the skin of the legs becomes softer, more elastic, elastic, and perfectly clean. After the first session, a positive result will be noticeable.
If the feet have large cracks or calluses, one aqua peeling procedure will not be enough to solve the problem. In such cases, a full course is prescribed, consisting of 4-6 sessions, depending on the severity of the situation. In this case, aqua peeling is carried out 1-2 times a week.
