DMK Alkaline Wash
Fine, downy (vellus) hair on the face can be difficult to manage. Traditional methods such as laser and electrolysis are not effective for this hair type, while treatments like dermaplaning can compromise the skin’s delicate acid mantle when performed too frequently.
At Skin Revolution, we offer DMK Alkaline Wash, an advanced, professional treatment designed to remove fine vellus hair while supporting the integrity of the skin barrier. This unique method works by softening the hair structure so it can be gently removed, helping to progressively reduce regrowth over time.
With a course of treatments, many clients notice that hair becomes finer and slower to return, meaning appointments can become less frequent.

Why have a consultation with us?
Because without knowing what is going on with your skin how can you treat it correctly?
During your consultation we will ask you some questions and chat about your health, lifestyle, nutrition, and stress levels as well as how you feel about your skin. These external factors are important as they have a huge impact on the way your skin behaves. We can treat skin symptoms but in order to give you properly happy skin we must identify the causes of any problems.
Knowledge is power and we also think it is very important for you to understand how your skin functions. So, as well as offering you solutions in the form of a plan containing treatment and targeted homecare recommendations we will also share with you some skin education.
We offer two types of consultation that are conducted face to face in clinic as well as an online service via zoom or facetime for those of you who cannot come in to see us in person.
We recommend clients new to the clinic ideally start with a full Skin Consultation and Bespoke Treatment Plan Creation, this one includes a treatment too, a great way to get a feel of what we can do for you.
