The AS1 nutrient solution serves as a universal foundational treatment designed for all skin types. Its primary functions are to retain moisture within the skin, gently exfoliate dead surface cells, and actively promote the improvement of collagen regeneration.
AS1 is the versatile "cleanse and prep" stage of hydra dermabrasion, balancing the removal of impurities with hydration and structural support for the skin.
The Core Functions of AS1
Gentle Exfoliation
The first critical role of AS1 is exfoliation.
It dissolves and removes dead skin cells and impurities from the epidermal layer. This process clears the pores, preparing the skin canvas for subsequent treatments or nutrient absorption.
Moisture Retention
Unlike harsh cleansers that strip the skin, AS1 is formulated to ensure moisture retention.
It hydrates the skin during the cleansing process. This prevents the tightness or dryness often associated with exfoliation, leaving the skin barrier intact and supple.
Collagen Regeneration
Beyond cleaning and hydrating, AS1 provides anti-aging benefits by helping to improve collagen regeneration.
By stimulating collagen production, it assists in maintaining skin elasticity and structure. This contributes to a firmer, more youthful appearance over time.
Target Profile and Versatility
Universal Suitability
A defining characteristic of AS1 is that it is suitable for all skin types.
It is balanced to be effective on normal skin without being too aggressive for delicate areas. This makes it the standard "go-to" solution for the initial phase of a general aqua peel treatment.
Understanding the Trade-offs
When AS1 May Not Be Enough
While AS1 is an excellent generalist, it is not specialized for acute skin conditions.
If the primary goal is treating active acne or soothing highly sensitive skin, the SA2 solution is a more targeted choice due to its calming properties.
The Limit of Nutritional Repair
AS1 focuses on exfoliation and maintenance rather than deep cellular repair.
For skin that is damaged, aged, or severely malnourished, the AO3 solution is superior. AO3 offers specialized functions like improving immunity, restoring damaged cells, and supplying Vitamin C, which AS1 does not provide.
Making the Right Choice for Your Goal
To maximize the effectiveness of a hydra dermabrasion treatment, select the solution based on the client's immediate skin condition:
- If your primary focus is general cleansing and maintenance: Use AS1 to exfoliate and hydrate normal skin while boosting collagen.
- If your primary focus is acne or sensitivity: Switch to a specialized solution like SA2 to calm inflammation and exfoliate gently.
- If your primary focus is deep nutrition or repair: Opt for a solution like AO3 to restore damaged cells and boost skin immunity.
AS1 is the essential baseline for clear, hydrated skin, acting as the perfect starting point for most aesthetic protocols.
