Peach Fuzz Hair Removal
in Manchester
Looking to remove your fuzzy facial hair?
Thought you'd be stuck with peach fuzz forever? Think again!
We’ve been suffering with that pesky peach fuzz for decades. Feeling like our make up doesn’t sit right or worrying about the sun illuminating it like an aura around our face.
Should we shave it off or dermaplane or just leave it? Laser doesn’t work, electrolysis takes way too long and we just want it GONE!
Here at Cypress Quay, we’ve got the answer to all your prayers. In less that 30 minutes you can be fuzz free with alkaline wash.
Banish peach fuzz for good with alkaline wash
Alkaline wash is a facial and hair removal treatment in one! It involves applying a thick paste onto the skin that elevates the skin’s pH level, allowing the active ingredient to dissolve the protein found in both the hair and skin. As a result, it effectively eliminates the hair and exfoliates the skin by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells.
For optimal long-term hair removal, a series of treatments is advised. Often, hair may not regrow, or if it does, it tends to be finer and grows at a slower pace. However, individual results can vary due to each person’s unique physiology.
Why choose Alkaline wash?
- Instant results
- No recovery time
- Safe on all areas
- Long lasting
fuzz free in 1, 2, 3!

Treatment
Before
Do
Shave – only shave the hair in the time running up to the session but stop shaving at least 3-5 days before for maximum defuzzing.
Remove your make up – clean skin is vital for a good treatment.
Consult – be honest with your therapist and disclose all health conditions during the consultation and if you experience any reactions or changes to your health during the treatment.
Don't
Use Retinoids – steer clear of retinoids or any exfoliation products for a week before the treatment.
Clog your pores – remove all makeup, creams that could clog pores before treatment.
Wax or thread – refrain from waxing, plucking, threading before treatment.
During
What to expect
Schedule your consultation with us, and we’ll confirm your eligibility for the treatment.
During the consultation, we’ll review your medical history and discuss important aspects such as aftercare and potential risks. After we establish a treatment plan and conduct a sensitivity test patch, we’ll arrange your initial session.
We will mix and apply the thick hair removal paste that uses the active ingredient Thioglycolate. Apologies, it does smell a bit funky but its worth it for the magic!
We leave this on for a little bit and keep spraying the area with a soothing spritz. When ready we remove the paste and cool down the skin with ice globes.
When satisfied your skin is cool, your therapist will apply a neutraliser which stops the active ingredient from working.
She will leave this on for around 5-7 minutes and remove it with warm mitts. Then your therapist will apply a serum to boost results and some sunscreen to protect your skin following treatment.
We will book your next appointment for 2-3 weeks later and you’ll be asked to use a serum between sessions.
After
Do
Apply your serum – The “stop it” serum is recommended and should be applied daily
Protect your skin – wear sunscreen at all times
Shave – if you need to remove hair after the initial 72 hours, avoid all other forms of hair removal except shaving or trimming.
Moisturise – Keep the skin well moisturised and avoid picking any dryness.
Don't
Use perfumed or alcohol-based products – this can burn and irritate the open pores.
Rub or scratch – avoid picking dry areas
Sunbathe or swim – for 72 hours after treatment to avoid pigmentation or irritation from chlorine.
Sweat – at least excessively. Enjoy your time off from the gym!

FAQs
What is Alkaline Wash?
Alkaline Wash is a non-invasive treatment that uses a specially formulated alkaline solution to dissolve unwanted fine facial hair or treat rough, uneven skin. It’s especially effective on downy, fluffy hair that laser and electrolysis cannot treat.
How does it work?
The solution temporarily raises the skin’s pH level, which helps break down the protein structure of the hair or dead skin cells. This causes the hair to dissolve and can also smooth and resurface the skin. Making it s 2 in 1 facial AND hair removal treatment!
What areas can be treated with Alkaline Wash?
It is most commonly used on the face, particularly the cheeks, upper lip, and jawline. It can also be used on small body areas for fine hair or textural concerns.
Does the hair grow back thicker or darker?
No, the hair will not grow back thicker or darker. In fact, with regular treatments, hair regrowth may become finer and slower over time.
How often can I have Alkaline Wash treatments?
Treatments are typically spaced 2–4 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s response and hair growth cycle. Your therapist will advise a personalised plan.
Can I have alkaline wash at the same time as electrolysis hair removal?
While you can treat the same area with electrolysis and alkaline wash, you must leave 2 weeks in between each treatment.
