For many years, chemical peeling has been at the top of the list of the most popular and sought-after aesthetic procedures. With its help, you can eliminate a number of aesthetic skin imperfections, including even age-related changes, and significantly improve the appearance of the patient.
A striking example of safe and effective chemical peeling is the Easy Phen Light hybrid peeling from SkinTech, which is represented in Ukraine by the Academy of Scientific Beauty.
Alexander Borodko, a plastic surgeon, a surgeon of the highest category, a member of the All-Ukrainian Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons, shared his personal experience with the readers of estet-portal.com
What are the advantages of providing information to cosmetologists as personal experience
In my opinion, the advantage is that when you have a lot of personal experience, you help not to step on the same rake that you stepped on yourself, and more than once. That's the advantage.
Phenol peeling has always been considered very traumatic for the patient, it has many limitations and side effects. Does this apply to the new Easy Phen Light phenol peel?
The phenolic peel that was considered aggressive and dangerous for the patient, it was in the 50s, if my memory serves me, and was invented by Gordon and Baker. Then this formula was prepared ex tempore, and contained substances that did not protect against too deep penetration of the peeling components, & nbsp; almost to the subdermal layer.
There are so many fuses in the new Easy Phen Light peeling formula that it takes more effort to get to the deepest layer and make scars.
Therefore, I would not say that this peeling is dangerous. It is even less dangerous than TCA peels at concentrations of 20% or more. For some reason, both dermatologists and I, including myself, considered it safer, although, in fact, it is more dangerous than phenol, which stops itself in this formula used today. Therefore, I do not agree with this statement.
Why Easy Phen Light peeling is called light, and what are its main differences
The new phenol peel is named light because it contains the lowest concentration of phenol, up to 15%. In order to remove wrinkles, a higher concentration of phenol is needed. The presence of it even at 15% concentration will not remove wrinkles, but it is guaranteed to give a reduction in type 1 collagen, I focus on this, which will cause a visible refreshment of the face.
That is, it will not be polishing, like polishing, it will be refreshing and pulling up, insignificant, but pulling up. And its main difference is that we do not exclude a person from social life, because a crust is not formed that looks like an onion peel or a baked apple peel. The patient can visit favorite places, work, and so on, while applying cream and tone on top of the cream. Opportunity not to drop out of social life – this is the fundamental difference between the new peeling with phenol.

The main thing is not to get into the eyes, that's all. That is, what I mean: all the manipulations that the beautician performs when picking up the solution, or, like, for example, today I applied a gauze sponge to the bottle and turned it over sharply - all this must be done away from the patient's head. Because if a drop of the drug drips, or gets on the mucous membranes, especially on the mucous eyes, it will cause injury. That's all the warnings.

Again, I repeat, the new phenol peeling helps to achieve the results of facial refreshment. Not the elimination of medium and large wrinkles, which is usually what phenol is designed for, but the reduction of collagen, and, due to this, an easy facelift. It is barely noticeable, but the person becomes fresher, and this can even be seen in the difference in the photos. Not to mention the fact that the smallest wrinkles on already, one might say, age-related, almost parchment skin - they go away. Again, I am not talking about medium and large wrinkles - they need to be removed with harder peels.
What advice do you give your patients regarding post-peel skin care
Post-peel care should be simple for the patient, and not confuse him in the choice of drugs. This is my personal subjective opinion, and it can be disputed. I love versatility. If I prescribe a post-peel cream that is applied to the peel itself, I try to apply it after the same peel has come off.
It is also important not to be afraid of the appearance of pigmentation, because it can appear regardless of the time of year, even during the polar night. This is a natural reaction of skin prone to pigmentation to irritation and injury. It will definitely pass, only there are, for example, agents that prevent the hyperformation of melanocytes.
It is imperative to have a regenerative cream that can be applied both on the crust and on the regenerating new, healthy skin, and a cream that blocks the appearance of these melanocytes, that is, allows you to quickly cope with possible pigmentation.
And, again, you need to collect an anamnesis in order to either prevent or start treatment of the same herpes virus in advance. And, again, if, despite the fact that the patient did not know about its existence, we got the herpes virus in the form of an ugly porridge on the face, you should definitely know that median and superficial-median peels after eliminating the consequences of the virus give a good the result on the skin, I know for sure.
