What does Enzyme Therapy treat?
Anyone and everyone will benefit from enzyme therapy. Treatments are especially good for healing skin conditions such acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, premature ageing and sun damaged skin.
What can I expect during the treatment?
DMK treatments are very different to traditional facials. It is designed to give you proven results and long term healthy, functioning skin. It is not designed for relaxation, however a lot of people find it very relaxing.
Please be aware that the treatment includes an enzyme mask which is left on for 45 minutes. The mask will feel tight as it dries and 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?
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.
​
How many do I need?
Results are noticeable from your first treatment, however a course of 3-7 sessions is recommend. Your first few treatments can be 1-2 weeks apart, then every 3-4 weeks until the skin is functioning well. Future follow up treatments can be carried out every 6 weeks to maintain the results. This should always be followed with continued use of the home care prescriptives to prolong results and maintain healthy skin. During DMK Treatments, using other brands is not recommended as they can disrupt the biochemical processes, leading to irritation, breakouts and delayed results.
