A desincrustation treatment should be performed for what period of time?

• A. 1-2 minutes
• B. 3-5 minutes
• C. 10-15 minutes
• D. 20-25 minutes

Answer: (B)

Desincrustation works by using an alkaline solution with a mild current to soften sebum and debris inside the pores, making extractions easier. About three to five minutes is enough time for the solution to penetrate and loosen deposits without overdoing it. If you go shorter, the treatment may not desincrust effectively; if you go longer, you increase the risk of irritation or dehydration. Always watch the client’s comfort and skin response and stop if there’s burning or excessive redness.
