The beauty craze on Instagram began harmlessly: with safe but overpriced homemade scrubs, which were advertised by every second blogger. The scrubs were replaced by the Black Mask (just like that, with a capital letter, like a supervillain), promising to get rid of blackheads in one application, but in fact either absolutely stupid or catastrophically dangerous thing (there is one name, but there are hundreds of compositions and brands). Dermatologists talked about the dangers of the Black Mask, and the injured video bloggers published terrible footage: the composition froze on the skin tightly and left chemical burns.

The excitement around a mixture of PVA with coal powder (this is not a figure of speech, a recipe for a homemade Black Mask), fortunately, subsides, and the strange rushes into the top again. This time - a device, similar to a vibrator, which supposedly draws sebum from the pores quickly and safely. On the network, you can get it from dealers on Instagram for an average of 1500 rubles, the price on AliExpress varies from 200 to 5000 rubles.

The device has a suction cup at the end, which vacuum draws sebum out of the pores. It sounds simple and safe, but in fact, the remedy may be - at best - simply ineffective, and at worst - damage blood vessels, leave bruises and spread the infection. It is curious that the beauticians of the Moscow clinics disagreed.
Maria Merekina Doctor-dermatologist at the Yulia Shcherbatova Clinic “For a vacuum pore cleaner to be effective, as stated on the manufacturer's website, it is necessary to steam the skin, few people do it at home. If you just wash your face, then you will not get the expected effect.
In the beautician's office, the doctor selects the method of cleansing and procedures strictly according to the indications, taking into account the characteristics of your skin. Hot steam, although it is made up of water, actually dehydrates the skin a lot. Steaming is contraindicated for those who have signs of rosacea, rosacea, dermatosis, acne, since steaming will lead to even greater hypertrophy of the vascular wall, an increase in foci of redness and the number of inflammatory elements.
Steaming and subsequent mechanical cleansing is a rather traumatic operation, the pores are stretched, and after exposure to vacuum they may not shrink back. If there is inflammation or redness, it can get worse.
I really welcome good regular cleansing, but many, having received such a beauty gadget, are too zealous. And the aggressive effect on the skin leads to the destruction of the hydrolipid barrier and the appearance of increased sensitivity to temperature changes, cosmetics, and so on.
Each method has indications and contraindications. Home care, beauty gadgets, salon treatments are all good topics to discuss with your beautician. Opinion: against; consult a beautician before use Please do not include this video if you are eating or about to eat
Not a single person in the Afisha Daily editorial office could see it to the end.
Natalya Viktorovna Novitskaya Dermatologist, cosmetologist, trichologist, head of the cosmetology department of the Austrian health center Verba Mayr Such devices are effective for removing blackheads and sebum, but professional equipment, of course, is more effective. The quality is determined not so much by the manufacturer's brand as by the parameters: the higher the generated pressure, the more pronounced the effect of the procedure.
For the use of these devices, preparation of the skin is required. First: removing all impurities - sweat, sebum, makeup residues. Second, you should use vaporization or a more modern method of opening the pores - applying a detox gel. Third: if the patient has purulent rashes on the skin, then after the procedure, alcohol-containing tonics or ordinary pharmacy chlorhexidine can be used. In addition, after the procedure, you should use masks that reduce pores.
Contraindications: rosacea (as it is impossible to expose dilated vessels with a weak wall to even greater trauma by vacuum), acute inflammatory infectious diseases, herpes, allergic reactions, pregnancy, epilepsy and hypertension during exacerbations. Opinion: in favor, but you need to prepare
If you do decide, don't do like this girl. You are welcome
