Our AHA TREATMENT removes impurities and firms your skin. We use an effective Lactic Acid exfoliator that provides purifying results and strengthens collagen fibres. The treatment is suitable for oily and unbalanced skin, and for skin in need of a refreshing effect. The treatment helps reduce grey, tired skin and fine lines.
The result of the treatment depends largely on how well you care for your skin at home, and your current skin condition. To achieve the best results, it is important to also use products from MARIA ÅKERBERG at home. They are all free from mineral oil and silicone.
What this treatment does:
• Helps with blemishes, imbalanced skin, blackheads and enlarged pores
• Makes the skin tone more even
• Strengthens collagen fibres, which may reduce signs of ageing and scarring
What is Lactic Acid?
We use a Lactic Acid made from sugarbeets, and it is the same kind that we naturally have in the body to preserve moisture and strengthen the skin. This Lactic Acid is unique and is only used by MARIA ÅKERBERG.
When is the treatment suitable?
Autumn and winter are the best times for the AHA Treatment. AHA Treatments should not be done in conjunction with a sunny holiday.
If you are using Isotretinoin or similar products, you should wait six months after completing that treatment before having a AHA treatment done.
We do not recommend this treatment if you will be exposing the skin to sun in the following month or if you recently had an AHA Treatment with products from another brand.
Follow your skin therapist’s recommendations to achieve the best possible results.
After treatment
Lactic Acid will remain in the skin for several hours after the treatment. Let the skin rest until the next morning and then cleanse according to your skin therapist’s recommendations.
It is what you do every day that creates tomorrow’s results. Follow up the treatment with products from MÅ for the best results. We always recommend a cleanser, facial toner, day cream and eye cream as a base. For more deeply penetrating results, we recommend supplementing with serum, oil and balm.
To supply the skin with additional nourishment, we recommend exfoliating and using a face mask about twice per week. Try AHA & JOJOBA PEELING combined with FACE MASK CLEARING.
Always adapt your skincare products to suit your skin type and condition. Your reseller will help you find the right products. You should also follow up with a facial treatment every five or six weeks.
What to avoid:
• UV light (both outdoors and in tanning salons): One week before and four weeks after the treatment. Otherwise, there is a risk of causing uneven skin tone
• Exfoliating: Avoid exfoliators from other brands during the treatment period
• Hair removal/waxing: One week before and after the treatment
• Makeup: Avoid makeup from other brands during the treatment period
• AHA products from other brands
• Products with alcohol (such as dehydrating facial toners)
• Weather: Protect the face from cold and wind
• Vitamin A products
• Hair spray and perfume
