Alkaline Skin Wash

Prices starting at £35

Permanent Hair Reduction for Fine, Downy Vellous Hair

DMK Alkaline wash

The DMK Alkaline Wash system is a unique treatment designed to reduce fine, downy hair, suitable for all areas of the face and body. A patch test is needed prior to treatment, and a course of treatments will be needed to achieve and maintain results.

Fine, downy hair, whether dark or light in colour, can densely cover the sides of the face, chin and neck or most of the face. It is also commonly found on areas of the body such as the abdomen, lower back, or shoulders.

This type of hair is very difficult to remove with other methods as the 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 because it usually has no colour (melanin) for the light to target.

Alkaline Wash treatment can remove large areas of hair in one treatment without discomfort, in comparison to other hair-removal systems. It also works well when combined with electrolysis and laser, which are suitable for terminal (thicker/darker) hairs.

After your first treatment, the hair will grow back at its normal rate, but as treatments progress the hair regrowth rate will become slower and the hair will weaken, usually resulting in a permanent reduction over a period of time.

The treatment is completely pain-free, however in some cases the area can appear red and warm which is normal and will subside after a short period of time. This will be discussed in detail with you at your patch test and consultation appointment.

At The Skin and Beauty Clinic we offer a combination of IPL, Electrolysis, and Alkaline Wash treatment to target your specific hair reduction needs, and will develop an individual treatment plan with you to help you achieve ‘your best skin possible’.

    "I cannot praise Monica highly enough. She understood my skin concerns and has worked through them in a gentle and professional manner. Monica puts the needs of the customer first, ensuring that the treatment is the right one for the person concerned, rather than being motivated by money like some practitioners I have seen in the past. Whilst my skin is still healing, I can already see great improvements and am looking forward to the final result. After trying numerous products and treatments in the past, without success, I wish I\'d visited the Skin and Beauty Clinic sooner. I would not hesitate to recommend!" 30/07/21

    "After my first laser carbon peel think that my skin is definitely smoother and very soft and not sure whether my imagination or not but less fine wrinkles! Tonight it still feels really well hydrated. Thank you so so much....I feel like I have had a proper treat!" and "24 hrs later I think my skin was definitely looking nicer. The skin over the bridge of my nose was very dry ( it usually is ) but way smoother than normal so definitely made a difference!" 29/02/20

    "I had the most wonderful facial with Monica. The products she used smelt and felt fabulous, and at one point I think I fell asleep, it was the most relaxing hour ever! My skin honestly GLOWED for days afterwards. Thankyou!" 06/03/19

    “Most certainly recommended Monica’s services. I've been getting laser treatment for the redness in my skin on my face from Monica. Amazing results and such a lovely lady doing it. Very thankful and happy with the treatment received!” 28/05/19

    “Monica was highly recommended to me by a former GP who had used her services. Since then I have had three separate treatments and I am so happy with the results. I found Monica to be extremely professiona, meticulous in her work and the results delivered exceeded my expectations. I would, without question, recommend Monica to others and have done so already”. 21/02/19

    "I saw Monica, a lovely lady, for removal of brown spots, skin tags and moles from my face. Felt at ease and confident that she cared and not just trying to get more money. She charged accordingly, treatment wasn’t too painful with very good follow up and no scarring. I am very happy with the outcome and wish I’d had the courage to do it sooner. Wouldn’t hesitate to see her again if I need further treatment". - 29 Dec 2018

    “Monica was recommended for removal of small milia and she didn’t disappoint, very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Would definitely recommend and use again. Procedure was painless and there is no scarring at all. Great follow up too.” - 19 Dec 2018

    After years of receiving a variety of treatments for the warts on my hands, most of which were both costly and painful, Monica has finally come to the rescue.  After the treatment that Monica has provided the warts are disappearing. Whilst not without some pain, the treatment has felt far less invasive and that it was administered in a caring and empathetic way.  I can’t thank Monica enough. After feeling resigned to putting up with them, the warts are mostly gone. If anyone is experiencing similar issues I would recommend Monica.  She provides an effective and more affordable treatment which is provided in a caring and reassuring way. Thank you Monica. - 29/01/18

    My skin is perfect and results are great as always from all types of hair removal I have had.  You are fantastic at what you do I love coming to see you, you are so professional but a really lovely person and a friend to me. - 04/12/17
