Achieve Healthier, Younger Looking Skin with DMK Treatments
THE DMK CONCEPT:
REMOVE. REBUILD. PROTECT. MAINTAIN.
DMK's revolutionary concept of; Remove, Rebuild, Protect, Maintain aims to match an individual's biochemistry with the appropriate skin therapy.
REMOVE: Remove the dead skin cell build-up, which leads to the appearance of dry skin, fine lines, congested skin or skin discoloration. DMK uses enzymatic hydrolysation, a treatment that transforms dead cell material into a weak acid and flushes it away, bringing new skin cells to the surface.
REBUILD: Rebuild skin by encouraging the skin’s vital internal processes to function optimally, enabling cells to stay alive longer and perform at their highest potential, creating healthier, younger looking skin. DMK oils, serums, spritzes and crèmes work directly on the skin cells with DMK's unique ‘direct delivery’. These are designed to provide natural skin tone and moisture.
PROTECT: Protect the skin from the sun, free radicals, glycation and other environmental factors that lead to premature ageing using potent natural antioxidants.
MAINTAIN: Maintain beautiful skin with DMK Home Prescriptives which work to prolong the results achieved by DMK Professional Treatments. The DMK concept provides clients with lifelong skin management programs to incorporate into their daily lives.
DMK is NOT your typical facial.
DMK Enzyme Therapy also known as True Oxygen Therapy works to oxygenate, detoxify and revise the skin to function as a young, healthy skin does. Over 40 years has been spent perfecting DMK’s signature Enzyme Therapy treatment, utilizing the beneficial effects of transfer messenger enzymes. It encourages blood circulation, oxygenation and lymphatic drainage while simultaneously, through reverse osmosis, helping to flush away toxins and free radicals as well as stimulating collagen production.
Where some cosmetic facial treatments may act only on the surface of the skin, the DMK Enzyme Treatment aims to strengthen the structural integrity of the deeper layers of skin to create a healthy environment for cells to live and thrive. DMK Enzyme Treatments work to restore internal functions and structure of the skin, bringing the skin back to its best.
Once the DMK enzyme treatment has been applied to your face, neck and décolletage it will start to harden. Upon setting, the mask creates a downward pressure and pulsating action that stimulates the circulatory system to pump fresh oxygenated blood throughout the capillaries, dilating them and creating a Plasmatic Effect. Plasmatic = Plasma + Blood. It gives the appearance of a roadmap of red capillaries particularly on the neck and decolletage. It indicates nutrients from freshly oxygenated blood have been delivered to the skin cells.
This essentially provides a spring clean to the skin. In addition to bringing the good it also removes the bad; detoxifying, moving stagnant blood and dead cell material through the lymphatic system. DMK enzyme therapy creates a “reverse osmosis” action. It is a back flushing action which forces fluid through the membranes around the cells flushing out impurities.
With commitment, these treatments combined with the recommended home care, will provide remarkable results for ANY (Acne, Age Management, Hyperpigmentation, Rosacea, Prevention) skin condition or type.

-
WHAT SENSATIONS SHOULD I EXPECT DURING ENZYME THERAPY TREATMENTS?DMK treatments are very different to traditional facials. Once the DMK enzyme treatment has been applied to your face, neck and décolletage it will start to harden. During the 45 minutes of your treatment, you'll feel a small pulsing sensation – this is the effect of the enzymes at work as they help circulate blood and oxygen through your cells. Over the course of your treatment, the mask will set hard like concrete, and you may feel some downward pressure. The mask will feel tight as it dries & you will notice a pulsating sensation under the skin as your capillaries dilate to bring fresh nutrients and oxygen to your cells. This is called the plasmatic effect - true oxygen therapy from the inside out.
-
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS WITH THE ENZYME TREATMENTS?Redness from the Plasmatic Effect can last around 20 minutes. Other side effects are rare but can include slight redness, irritation or mild itching, temporary hyper-pigmentation and swelling for up to 24 hours. Slight flaking, dryness and peeling may be present for up to 72 hours post treatment.
-
WHAT IS PLASMATIC EFFECT?Immediately after your treatment comes off there will be a visible effect called “plasmatic effect”. It kind of looks like you can see the blood running along your veins under your skin. This is an awesome sight to see but don’t worry – it quickly fades. What it means is that at that moment your skin has achieved homeostasis or perfect balance.
-
WHAT IS REVERSE OSMOSIS?DMK enzyme therapy creates a “reverse osmosis” action. It is a back flushing action which forces fluid through the membranes around the cells flushing out impurities. It does this by utilizing transfer messenger enzymes. These are cells that communicate with each other, increasing circulation and delivery fresh, oxygenated blood to the skin. You’re left with a clean, clear, healthy environment for cells to thrive and function at an optimal level.
-
IS ENZYME THERAPY SAFE FOR WOMEN WHO ARE PREGNANT?Yes, it can be performed throughout your whole pregnancy, helping to maintain hydration and keep your skin's function working optimally.
