How long does the treatment take?
The treatment usually takes approximately ½ hour.
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 Alkalin treatment.
Are there any side effects?
The treatment is totally pain free, however in some cases the area can appear red and warm. This is normal and will subside in a short period of time.
Which areas can be treated?
Any areas of the face or body can be treated, provided the hair type is suitable.
I have both coarse and downy growth, can I still have treatment?
Yes. Although the coarse dark hair will need to be treated with laser treatment, the fine downy hair can be treated with alkalin wash. We recommend that you begin with alkalin wash treatment, the coarse hairs that are not removed can then be treated with laser treatment a few days later.
How often should I have treatment?
After your first alkalin wash the hair will grow back at its normal rate, but as treatments progress the regrowth rate will become slower and slower and your time between treatments will increase. Some clients go for months without needing an alkalin wash.
Will the treatment stimulate the hair?
No, as the alkalin has a dissolving and damaging effect on the hair follicle it is impossible to stimulate the hair growth.
