[av_toggle title=’What areas can be treated?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-18jpfzi’]

• The most common areas that are treated are the face and neck
• In addition we can treat the chest, shoulders, back, hands, knees and elbows
• Any body area can be treated

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’Why does the skin benefit from Lactic treatments?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-15ku4we’]

• Approximately every 28 days we create a new layer of skin
• As new cells form they push their way to the surface and then dead cells settle on the surface
• This can cause enlarged pores, clogged pores, a bumpy uneven texture, and a dull appearance
• As we age this process slows down leading to the appearance of older skin with less radiance

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’How does it work?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-14rhgry’]

• The gentle exfoliation is performed with a cotton pad applicator which has been dabbed into the exfoliation medication
• The lactic products loosen any dead skin cells and gently exfoliate approximately 20-25 microns of dead skin cells of the outermost layer (stratum corneum)
• Once removed it reveals one’s own fresher, younger looking skin beneath
• The lactic acid helps to lift and remove stubborn pigmentation

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’What is the Retinoic Acid Boost?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-13f0cpa’]
Retinoic acid is related to Vitamin A and it:

• Helps to lift and remove devitalized skin cells
• Improves the penetration of other products, such as lactic acid

[/av_toggle]
[av_toggle title=’How many treatments do you need?’ tags=” av_uid=’av-10wooim’]
