What is the Danné Alkalin Wash treatment?
The Danné Alkalin Wash system is a remarkable treatment designed to reduce fine, downy facial hair. This type of hair is very difficult to remove as the hair growth is usually dense and would take a long time to treat with Electrolysis. The advantage of Alkalin is that you can remove large areas of hair in one treatment with no discomfort as with other hair removal systems.
How it works
Alkalin wash is an alkalin powder which is mixed into a paste and applied to the skin for approximately 3-4 minutes. The treatment works by taking the hair to a high Alkalin level. This will dissolve the hair, part of the underlying follicle and is totally pain free. After the first treatment the hair will grow back at its normal rate, but as treatments progress the regrowth rate will become slower and slower usually resulting in permanent loss over a period of time.
How many treatments are required?
It is impossible to estimate how many treatments are needed as permanent removal is dependent on many things 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 clients skin is different.
