Our signature treatment is DMK Enzyme Therapy. This revision treatment goes for 1hr 45min. The reason behind it is for the enzyme masque to flush toxins and debris from the skin and the environment the cells live in. Giving your skin the best possible environment for optimal skin.
During the 1hr 45min treatment the masque will go rock hard like cement. You will also feel a pulse, like a little heart beat, around your neck nose or around the temples.
The reasoning behind this is to stimulate the fibroblast cells (the communication cells) in order to produce more collagen, encourage the lymphatic system to flush away toxins and oxygenate the skin, providing it with the nutrients it needs to thrive.
To get the best results with in clinic treatments, you want to feed and nourish the skin. Even to maintain your skin after these treatments.
DMK products have a delivery system and to get the full benefit of these products you may need to pair them up, for example, Using DMK oils Seba-E and Herbal Pigment oil, they need to be sprayed in with DMK's Herb and Mineral Mist, this way your skin can absorb the prodcts and the active ingredients can get to where they are needed and stored.
How long do you want good skin for?
You want to maintain all the amazing work you have done for your skin. You don't want your skin to fall back into the bad habits it had when you first started your skin revision program
Depending on which treatment you receive, may depend if there is down-time.
During Enzyme Treatments your therapist will ask you prior if your okay with some down-time.
But for RP and ProAlpha Six Layer Peel there will be some down-time.
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 utilising 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.
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 Effect and it is a great way to determine how optimally your skin is functioning. The stronger the Plasmatic Effect the healthier your skin! It does not hurt, nor does the skin experience any change in temperature due to the Plasmatic Effect. Usually about 10-20 minutes after a treatment the Plasmatic Effect will disappear entirely, leaving you with post Enzyme glowing skin!
DMK enzyme therapy reduces pigmentation, scarring, acne, rosacea whilst tightening and smoothing the skin. You will need a minimum of 3 treatments to start strengthening the skin and improving skin health before moving onto other DMK advanced skin revision treatments. A series of 6 – 12 is recommended for optimal results. DMK home prescriptive products will also be recommended as a part of your tailored program to achieve desired results.
In each of our consultations we customise a treatment plan to suit your skin goals! We recommend that your first two Enzymes are one to two weeks apart to kickstart the oxygen flow through the skin and increase the skin’s cellular processes. For ideal results during a treatment program, treatments are recommended weekly or fortnightly.
Well, would you take medication without seeing a Doctor? Of course not!! All DMK products contain pharmaceutical grade active ingredients, it is therefore essential to have a consultation. The higher concentration of active ingredients requires professional skin diagnosis. The professional diagnosis will ensure that the correct products are used to treat your skin concerns. A skin consultation can be performed as a stand-alone service, and is also included in an Initial DMK treatment.
This will depend on what your prescribed treatment involves. If you have a lot of underlying congestion, the only way for the matter within the pores to be removed is through the pores of the skin. The longer it resides there, the more damage that is likely to occur, e.g. Scarring and trauma induced pigmented spots, due to prolonged inflammation. It is quite possible to break out during your treatments, but with time this will subside and an ongoing maintenance program will ensure long term results. I would advise that you wear a makeup that has a mineral base with no oils and talc, so not to exacerbate the condition.
The presence of acne later in life is a growing concern among adults. Stress and lifestyle are believed to be some of the contributing factors to the rise in the prevalence of this condition. DMK has a treatment program that is beneficial in the treatment of acne. This program consists of both professional treatments and home prescriptives.
Your technician will be able to recommend the best advice and provide the solution that aids in topically and internally improving your skin condition.
Fine lines in the peri-oral area can be treated with a series of professional treatments, to be used in conjunction with the appropriate home prescriptives. Alkaline wash swells, softens and dissolves. By softening the dead cells we have the ability to gently revise the area. The skin will be smoother, and you will have the appearance of a more youthful complexion.
Firstly, it is important to wear sunblock EVERY DAY, as for the most part it is the best anti-aging tool one has. To revise fine lines and wrinkles resurfacing treatments are needed. During this the skin may become photosensitive and therefore it is imperative to wear sun block.
Wrinkles are more visible and fine lines can occur due to a build up of dead cell material. Removing these dead keratinised cells that sit on the surface of the skin is the first step in revising this condition. Your home prescriptives will aid in this removal. The removal of wrinkles is quite difficult as they are commonly brought about by small muscle contractions through expression. These wrinkles cannot be removed unless the muscle is paralysed. Though, if these wrinkles are present on the face whilst relaxed then by resurfacing the skin and improving the structural integrity of the skin so it is in optimal condition allows the skin to bounce back into place.
A common advanced resurfacing tool that will resurface through the upper epidermal tissue whilst improving the structural integrity of the skin is the Pro Alpha Six Layer Peel . This treatment has the ability to revise fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation. Smoothing the skin and stimulating collagen and elastin to improve the structural integrity of the skin, hence the condition of the skin so it will bounce back into place.
Alkaline wash is a great resurfacing tool and can also be used for hair removal. The solution sits on the skin and dissolves the hair gently, without causing any pain or irritation to the skin. The long term benefit of alkaline wash treatment is that hair growth will reduce after a session of treatments.
We have many forms of professional removal systems that help to reduce pigmented cells. These professional treatments include alkaline wash, DMK Pro Alpha Six Layer Peel and Prozyme treatments. The condition is then maintained by using the DMK home prescriptives that are designed to inhibit further melanin production. These products are: direct Delivery Vitamin C Serum , Melanotech Crème , Super Bright , and Transdermal Sunblock .
This passive form of pigmentation has been induced by internal hormonal conditions that can appear in different layers of the skin, and as a result can be difficult to treat. Nevertheless the condition can be improved.
A technician will recommend the appropriate in-clinic treatments. The program established is dependant upon several key factors which will be discussed during the consultation. These key factors include: age, skin colour, medication, sun exposure etc.
The freckles that you can see are your body’s own defense system, designed to protect you from the UV rays. Unfortunately they do not just go away on their own. It is very important that you attain a thorough skin analysis from a qualified DMK Technician who will prescribe the appropriate professional treatment and home care.
Rosacea cannot be cured but it can be controlled. An effective treatment in conjunction with home maintenance products will dramatically reduce the symptoms and signs of Rosacea. Danné treatments and home care products are effective and pain free.
It is important to remember home care and professional treatments work hand-in-hand when treating any skin condition. Not one product or treatment will cure a condition.
The DMK red vein treatment does not work on the same basic principles as your beauty therapy style facials that focus on calming the skin in an attempt to reduce redness. DMK Rosacea treatments gets to the core of the problem and addresses all 3 of the contributing factors that cause Rosacea. For a treatment to effectively improve Rosacea it must be able to deal with the skin as a whole system.
Stretch marks are scarring on a dermal level. They aren’t superficial and are located deep within the skin tissue. For this reason we cannot remove a stretch mark, though we can treat this type of scarring and definitely improve the appearance and feel of the area, through resurfacing the damaged tissue and rebuilding the skin. Firstly we look at preparing the skin with Retosin (vitamin A crème) in conjunction with our Direct Delivery Vitamin C Serum. Internal supplementation in the form of essential fatty acids (DMK efa+) will also aid in improving the condition of the skin. The area is then resurfaced using alkaline wash, which dissolves the scar tissue. Enzyme therapy is then performed to help strengthen the tissue and aid in healing and repair of the area. This treatment is performed every four to six weeks. A number of treatments are needed depending on the severity of the stretch marks and tissue repair.
We have found this treatment very effective in minimizing the appearance of stretch marks, firming and smoothing the area. Working to re-damage the tissue and rebuild the area with the best possible repair system for optimal results.
The most effective treatment for scarring begins by removing the scar tissue. This process involves a series of professional treatments using the resurfacing tool, alkaline wash. The area will become smoother, flatter, and less obvious. The rebuilding of new tissue is performed with the DMK enzyme therapy, which is a treatment masque that is placed on the skin after the alkaline wash treatment. The process works to enhance the condition of the skin for optimal healing.
DMK’s concept of REMOVE, REBUILD, PROTECT and MAINTAIN utilises our signature Enzyme Therapy treatments to encourage the revision and rebuilding of new more optimally functioning cells for healthier younger-looking skin. Our Home Prescriptive products then enhance, protect and maintain these results. Only having treatments and not using products or vice versa means we cannot guarantee the incredible results that are possible.
After your DMK Enzyme Therapy treatment, you can expect the beautiful glow, silky texture, and juicy plump appearance to last on average, a minimum of one week. With consistent treatments and the use of your DMK Home Prescriptive products, the longevity of your results increases extensively. Once we have achieved your skin goals, your DMK Skin Technician will adjust your skin regime to a maintenance program to ensure you keep the results you have achieved.
It is perfectly normal to experience breakouts after DMK treatments, though they are not causing them. This is a process we call ‘purging’, which is when our treatments release underlying congestion trapped deep down within the pores and pushes it up to the surface. We see this is a positive response as we are waking up skin functions that were not working optimally. We want to encourage purging as part of the REMOVE phase of the DMK concept. With consistent treatments and use of your DMK Home Prescriptive products these breakouts will clear up as quickly as possible.
This is perfectly normal! Post treatment dryness is due to the stimulation of the enzymes in your skin that are responsible for controlling the natural exfoliating process as well as the increase of the hydration levels in your skin. Dead cells that have been caked onto the surface of your skin unable to lift away, are now finally beginning to shed away resulting in the skin feeling slightly tight and dry. Your DMK Skin Revision Technician will advise you on the proper post treatment care.
Yes, we do use parabens and sulphates as preservatives. It is important to note however that the quantities and the types of the preservatives DMK uses are safe and not going to cause detrimental side effects to the body. The preservative level DMK uses is under 1% and this is to ensure the shelf life of the formulation. This small amount of natural parabens and sulphates are anti-microbial, antibacterial & antifungal, and are effective protective agents for both the consumers and products.
DMK uses 99% active botanical ingredients, which need to be carefully preserved. That is why DMK uses 1% chemical preservatives in some of the formulations because they are the most stable and safest to use for both the consumer and the products. Therefore, DMK is not 100% organic.
No. DMK invests in independent testing of all our formulations prior to the formulation being available for purchase.
DMK is predominantly botanical based however, some of our products and treatment formulations do contain fish oils as well as albumen, a product derived from eggs. Your DMK Skin Revision Technician will be able to discuss with you which Home Prescriptive products and treatments will be suitable for you. As a guide though, the following products and treatments are not suitable for vegans: Acu Cream and Herbal Pigment Oil both contain Cod liver oil. Our EFA's oil is vegan, however it is encapsulated in a fish gelatine. DMK’s Enzyme Therapy treatments contain albumen, a product derived from eggs, in their formulations.
It is highly recommended to ask your health care professional before using any of the DMK products during pregnancy or before taking the EFA Ultra.

As a result of DMK’s ability to achieve remarkable results, DMK has achieved a high level of client satisfaction.
Many well-known celebrities, famous personalities and Hollywood stars are known to have received DMK treatments and used DMK products.
Paramedical is a system that is adjunctive to the practice of medicine in maintaining and restoring health. Over the years medical and aesthetic professions have drawn closer together sharing a common purpose in dealing with skin dysfunction.
Many ordinary cosmetic products only work topically on the skin and are usually not capable of penetrating deeply into the skin tissue. Cosmetic treatments and products work only on the surface of the skin while paramedical treatments and products are designed to penetrate skin tissue at a deeper level to address problem areas at cellular level.
The DMK system works on the structure and functioning of the skin. DMK paramedical treatments are designed to restore the natural functioning of the skin. DMK treatments stimulate the skin in a way that allows the skin’s own natural systems and processes to return to normal. In short, the DMK system is designed to emulate the way your own skin works naturally.
DMK paramedical products are formulated using chemistry that the skin recognizes as its own. Active ingredients used in DMK paramedical products are of a much more potent strength that enables the key ingredient to do its work and achieve effective results. Many cosmetic products do not contain enough of an active ingredient to see any significant results.
