What is an Alkaline Face Wash?
Alkaline Face Wash is most effective when treating fine downy hair. Although it can be used elsewhere it is particularly suitable for the face and upper lip areas where there is often a dense growth of fine hair.
Alkaline Face wash is an alkaline powder which is mixed into a paste and applied onto your skin by our practitioners for approximately 4-5 minutes.
The treatment works by dissolving part of the underlying hair follicle causing release of the hair leaving you with smooth hair free skin immediately after treatment.

Fine, downy hairs, also known as Vellus hairs are more prominent in females and children. Some evidence has shown that increased growth of Vellus hairs can be associated with the following conditions:
- Pregnancy
- Increase in production of cortisol hormone
- Anorexia and other dietary conditions
- Cosmetic
During pregnancy, we will be unable to treat you, but will be able to provide a satisfactory result post pregnancy.

FAQ
Related Treatments
How many treatments will I need before the hair is permanently removed?
Your practitioner will be unable to guarantee how many treatments are needed or necessary, as permanent removal is dependent on many factors i.e. how the hair was previously treated, how long it has been there, the reasons for the hair growth etc. Some clients report a reduction in hair growth after just one treatment; however there’s no guarantee as every client’s skin is different..
How long does the treatment take?
The treatment usually takes approximately 30 minutes to an hour depending on the areas treated.
Why do I need a patch test prior to treatment?
The patch test is usually carried out on the area to be treated and ensures that your skin is suitable for the alkaline treatment.
Will my hair grow back thicker or darker?
No, your hair cannot grow back any stronger, as the Alkaline Wash weakens and reduces the hair growth.
Can I wear make up?
We always advise our clients to use mineral makeup when undertaking any skin treatments. If you use cosmetic makeup, we advise you wait 48 hours before re applying.
Is there any downtime?
There is minimal downtime with the Alkaline Face Wash. Your skin may appear slightly red and warm post treatment, which will subside in a short period of time. We strongly advise you follow the aftercare procedure given to you by your practitioner.
Which areas of my face and body can be treated?
Any areas of the face and the body can be treated provided the hair type is suitable.
I have both coarse and fine growth, can I still have treatment?
Yes. The coarse dark hair will need to be treated with laser, while the fine downy hair can be treated with Alkaline Wash.
How often should I have treatment?
Initially, we recommend you have a treatment quite frequently, between 2-4 weeks. As you progress throughout your treatments, and your hair growth reduces, you will need a treatment between 4-8 weeks. Your practitioner will advise you how frequently you will need to have a treatment.
