Veronika McLaren Feb 17, 2016:
Another option: upon/after regular application or perhaps: after applying the product regularly for a prescribed period of time
Jonathan MacKerron Feb 17, 2016:
alternatively therapy / procedure (as Susan suggests) / formula / remedy
Mariana Rohlig Sa (asker) Feb 17, 2016:
I like treatment, but I was looking for an alternative, because I already translated "Behandlung" (i.e. Behandlungsschritte) as "treatment" in the same text.
philgoddard Feb 17, 2016:
And why don't you like "treatment"? You said "home treatment".
Mariana Rohlig Sa (asker) Feb 17, 2016:
Thanks you for the answers so far, but this treatment is not applied in a spa, but instead is a home treatment. "Kur" here is to be understood as a set period of time (to target a specific problem - say dry skin). For example " 3-Wochenkur"

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you for the many suggestions. I am awarding the points to Jonathan because he was the first to reply and without further context his reply made sense, but I am entering Alison's suggestion into the glossary as this may be helpful to other translators."

It's difficult to avoid the word treatment completely while still retaining the sense. Why not try taking a look at cosmetic company sites (especially English-language sites if possible) for inspiration?
