What does the treatment involve?

Lactic acid therapy is a treatment that uses lactic acid, one of the alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), to gently exfoliate the skin. It is suitable for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin. Lactic acid helps to hydrate the skin by removing dead cells, improving texture, and giving the skin a natural glow. It may also assist in brightening pigmentation and evening out skin tone.

What does the treatment include?

The treatment includes lactic acid, which is derived from milk. It is a gentle exfoliant that promotes the shedding of dead skin cells. Lactic acid also has moisturizing properties, helping to maintain the skin’s hydration. Additionally, it stimulates collagen production and improves overall skin texture.
