  • What is the DMK Enzyme Treatment

    DMK's focus is on improving the long-term health of the skin, not on quick fixes. The skin's chemistry is an ecosystem and functions similarly to a factory, the product that that factory produces is what you see on the skin's surface.The DMK concept REMOVE, REBUILD, PROTECT and MAINTAIN works to regulate and enhance the internal functions and structures of the skin to maximum capacity. DMK is the sole company to use transfer messenger enzymes in the signature DMK Enzyme Therapy, which is used as the base of all DMK treatments to oxygenate, strengthen, nourish and tone the skin. To encourage the skin to perform like younger, healthier skin DMK's signature Enzyme Therapy works alongside DMK skin protocols and Home Prescriptive programs to achieve long-term results.

    What happens to my skin after the treatment? What will it look like?

    If you have had a crisscross of red veins appear where your Enzyme Masque was after a treatment that is fantastic! It means that your capillaries have been flushed of toxins and the blood has been loaded up with fresh oxygen and nutrients to deliver to your skin cells. DMK calls this the Plasmatic EffectTM and it is a great way to determine how optimally your skin is functioning. The stronger the Plasmatic EffectTM the healthier your skin! It does not hurt, nor does the skin experience any change in temperature due to the Plasmatic EffectTM. Usually about 10-20 minutes after a treatment the Plasmatic EffectTM will disappear entirely, leaving you with post Enzyme glowing skin!

  • What is a PCA Chemical Peel?

    You are a good candidate for PCA Chemical Peels if you have sun damaged skin, acne scaring, fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, rosacea, or any other skin conditions that interfere with the best skin possible. 

    What you will notice after the treatment?

    After receiving a PCA SKIN® professional treatment, you should not necessarily expect to 'peel'. However, light flaking in a few localized areas for several days is typical. Most patients who undergo these treatments have residual redness for approximately one to twelve hours post procedure.

    What is the Downtime?

    After your treatment, you should apply sunblock and avoid all exposure to the sun for up to 14 days. Your peel comes with a post procedure kit to protect your skin and improve results. In addition, you should avoid working out, sweating and swimming for 48 hours after the peel.

    What results will I see? 

    The results largely depend on the PCA Peel that was selected. Most clients love the way their skin looks and feels two weeks after their first treatment, however you can see the best results after three to six treatments.

  • What is Dermaplaning?

    Dermaplaning is a gentle, superficial exfoliation process that removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, and as an added bonus, it also removes the fine facial hair often referred to as “peach fuzz”. This is a safe and effective technique that leaves your skin with a smooth, fresh look. We recommend this treatment every 4 weeks.
