Is cavitation peeling with cream or algae better?

Is a cavitation peeling better with cream or with algae?

In reality, cavitation peeling, as part of a comprehensive skincare treatment, can be complemented by both cream and an algae mask—each element serves a different purpose and impacts various aspects of skin regeneration and nourishment. The final choice depends on the skin’s needs, skin type, and the desired effects.

What is the procedure for cavitation peeling?

  1. Cleansing and cavitation peeling
    The treatment begins with thorough skin cleansing, which may include makeup removal and the elimination of impurities. Cavitation peeling is then performed, using ultrasonic waves to gently exfoliate the skin. This process effectively removes dead skin cells, excess sebum, and impurities, preparing the skin for the next steps.
  2. Application of active substances
    After the cavitation peeling, active nutrients such as serum, ampoules, or concentrates tailored to the skin’s needs (e.g., moisturizing, lifting, anti-aging) are applied. These substances can be infused into the deeper layers of the skin using specialized equipment, such as sonophoresis.
  3. Mask – e.g., algae mask
    The next step involves applying a mask, often an algae mask. This mask creates an occlusive layer, which traps moisture and active ingredients within the skin, enhancing their effects. Algae have numerous beneficial properties depending on the mask’s composition:
    • Brown algae – provide moisturizing and anti-inflammatory benefits.
    • Red algae – soothe irritation and strengthen capillaries.
    • Green algae – support detoxification and help reduce skin imperfections.
    Algae masks also help calm the skin after exfoliation, minimizing redness and irritation.
  4. Final step – application of cream
    The last stage of the treatment involves applying a cream tailored to the skin type and condition. This could be a moisturizing, regenerative, or anti-aging cream. A specialized eye cream is also applied to the eye area. Regardless of the season, the treatment concludes with SPF cream to protect the skin from UV radiation, which is especially important after exfoliation procedures.

Algae mask vs. cream – differences and benefits

  1. Algae mask
    • Creates an occlusive layer that locks in moisture and active ingredients.
    • Soothes and calms the skin, reducing irritation and enhancing comfort.
    • May have detoxifying, hydrating, anti-inflammatory, or strengthening properties depending on the type of algae used.
  2. Cream
    • Provides protective and nourishing functions after the mask or directly after peeling.
    • Helps maintain hydration and skin regeneration.
    • SPF cream protects against harmful UV radiation, which can be particularly damaging after exfoliation.

What to choose – an algae mask or just cream?

The best approach is to use both during the treatment, as they complement each other. Cavitation peeling prepares the skin, the algae mask deeply hydrates and soothes it, while the cream seals the results and protects the skin from external factors. However, if a choice needs to be made, it should depend on the skin’s current needs—an algae mask is particularly beneficial for dry, dehydrated, or irritated skin, while a cream may suffice for normal or combination skin.

Cavitation peeling is just one step in a comprehensive skincare routine. During the treatment, both an algae mask and cream can be used to enhance results. The algae mask creates an occlusive barrier and provides intense hydration, while the cream helps maintain the treatment’s effects and protects the skin from environmental factors. The choice between them depends on the skin’s needs, but the best results are achieved by combining both during the same treatment.
