Fine, downy hair is usually very difficult to remove, as the hair growth is usually dense and would take a long time to treat with electrolysis. It is also not suitable to be treated with IPL or Laser due to the light coloured (sometimes completely colourless) hairs.

 

The advantage of Alkaline Wash is that you can remove large areas of hair in one treatment with no discomfort as with other hair-removal systems. It also works well when combined with electrolysis and laser, which are suitable for the stronger, darker, thicker hairs.

After the first treatment, the hair will grow back at its normal rate, but as treatments progress the regrowth rate will become slower, usually resulting in a permanent loss over a period of time. The number of treatments needed, vary from person to person.

The treatment takes approximately half an hour and a patch test is carried out on the area to be treated. The treatment is completely pain-free however in some cases the area can appear red and warm which is normal and will subside in a short period of time.

All areas of the face and body may be treated as long as the hair is fine and downy. The treatments will be approximately 2 weeks apart to start with and then go onto being a month apart and then longer periods of time as the hair starts to reduce in growth.

A full consultation and patch test will be carried out at least 24 hours before treatment.

You must inform your therapist if you become pregnant or if you take any medication or vitamins in-between treatments.

Seba E balancing oil must be purchased with your first treatment and used daily for the duration of your treatments.
