At DMK we believe that ageing and the changes that it brings are to be embraced and celebrated as a fundamental part of life. However, we understand the main concern of ageing comes from its effect on skin, which can affect one’s self-esteem and quality of life. While it is important to realise that there is no overnight miracle treatment for anti-ageing there are definitely ways to manage it. True age management relies on in-depth knowledge of how the skin works, and a good skin care routine. We are firm believers in the natural approach being a more effective, and long-term solution

Understanding Ageing

As we age, the functioning and processes of the skin start to slow down. The fibroblast cells produce less collagen causing the skin to wrinkle and sag. The production of new, healthy skin cells to replace old cells naturally start to dwindle. In a nutshell, ageing is caused by a loss of functioning of the skin.

The natural process that skin goes through as we grow older is called intrinsic ageing. The skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and drier as collagen and elastin production decreases, and the number of oil glands decreases. These critical elements give the skin its firmness and elasticity and they are also responsible for structure and support. This means that your skin will need help to keep on producing the natural properties that allow it to maintain its elasticity and youthful appearance. DMK specialises in skin rejuvenation from the inside out which provides long-term anti-aging solutions.

Ageing and the DMK Concept

DMK seeks to strengthen the skin against the ageing processes through aiding the skin’s declining enzymatic activity and enhancing its optimal function. No matter what point a person is along the ageing journey, DMK endeavours to help clients’ skin look as youthful as they feel within. This can be achieved through regular treatments and following our four step concept using the products prescribed specifically for you. We use skin revision science to rebuild, protect and maintain your skin.

Typical anti-ageing procedures consist of chemical peeling, injections such as BOTOX, laser resurfacing and of course, cosmetic surgery. DMK uses a radically different, non-invasive and more natural approach to resolving the ageing dilemma without surgery.

Our Age Management Treatments

Every DMK Treatment begins with our unique Enzyme Therapy. There are many enzyme and coenzyme (vitamin) activities in the skin that control its normal functions. For example, the enzyme collagenase helps to regulate the synthesis of collagen fibres. This focus enables us to help those who want to revise problem skin as well as those simply wishing to maintain a healthy balance that will last for years. Some of our age management treatments include:

• Enzyme Therapy
• Pro Alpha Six Layer Peel
• Muscle Banding
• A-LIFT
• Liquid Laser
• Eye Fusion

The best part about the DMK treatments and products are that they are tailored to your skin needs. Find a clinic near you to set up a consultation and allow our experts help you maintain your healthy and youthful skin.

The DMK Concept

The comprehensive four-step programme was designed by our experts to promote total skin revision. This was conceptualised over 50 years ago and to this day remains tried and tested. Without any deviation, the method produces visible results with every treatment session. Here’s a brief breakdown of the DMK concept:

Remove: Clear the way for radiant skin with DMK’s Dead Skin Cell and Toxin Removal

Rebuild: Rejuvenate and Revitalize with DMK’s collagen-boosting and cell-renewing treatments

Protect: Shield your skin from environmental damage with DMK’s protective products by building the immunity of your skin and strengthening your skin barrier

Maintain: Sustain your skin’s glow with DMK’s maintenance products and support overall health.

This system is based on pure science. Through extensive research we have discovered that there is one factor that guarantees the success of any DMK product or treatment range; the products prescribed to the client must follow our identified fundamental categories in their specific order.

The Power of Following Four Simple Steps

It is crucial to follow all four steps of DMK Concept for the long-term benefits to help your clients achieve and maintain radiant and healthy skin. By doing so, you can provide your clientele with genuine skin rejuvenation. This approach can help you deliver exceptional results and strengthen your reputation as a skincare professional.

The term ‘paramedical’ relates to a service that supports medical work and is provided by professionals outside the realm of fully qualified medical doctors. With the booming business of the beauty industry, the savvy consumer, and the abundance of skin issues faced by everyday people, paramedical skincare is a highly sought after and specialised field that moves the skincare industry beyond just pampering, and into a space that treats the skin from beneath and not just on the surface.

A paramedical skin technician is a licensed professional who has acquired more advanced training and experience in the medical and scientific aspects behind the skin to enable them to deliver an appropriate diagnosis. They evaluate skin conditions and provide individualised, result-orientated solution options for clients, and all treatments are designed to remove, rebuild and protect the skin by way of improving skin and cellular function, which can also include pre and post-cosmetic surgery care.

With DMK paramedical skincare, the formulations are strong, complex, and effective, whereby only trained, and licensed paramedical skincare technicians can use them for treatments and prescribe them for home care routines. This differs from prescription medication, which can only be provided through a doctor, and over the counter skincare you can buy at your local shops. Instead, DMK products can only be used after a consultation with a DMK trained skin technician. This ensures that clients don’t cause their skin any trauma with using the wrong product or using a product in the wrong way. It also ensures that clients get the best results since each individual’s prescription and usage instructions will be different.

DMK’s revolutionary products and treatments work with the structure and function of the skin, it doesn’t just treat the surface. This exciting skincare system is based on the principle that cells of the skin respond positively to the chemistry they recognise. Unlike many over-the-counter skincare programs, DMK treatments and products work with the skin, rather than merely acting on it. In order to generate long-lasting results, we have to ensure that the skin is functioning optimally, this is where our paramedical treatments excel. They are designed to trigger a response from the skin, and create healthier, fuller, more lively skin for the years to come.
DMK paramedical skin revision is a collection of successful products and treatments that have been developed by DMK scientists to address skin conditions such as severe acne, deep wrinkles or stubborn pigmentation and scarring. They are based on a natural healing approach using various modalities and botanical chemistry to restore skin functionality.

The essence of DMK paramedical skin revision is to refine the skin through the removal of dead skin cells and the rebuilding of the skin’s functionality.

• Aging, and to prevent aging
• Sun-damaged skin
• Wrinkles, lines, or sagging skin anywhere on the body
• All types of acne, congested skin, oily, dry or combination skin
• Hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone
• Rosacea, psoriasis, spider veins, bruises, and wound healing
• Cellulite, and stretch marks

Most skin conditions, like the ones mentioned above, result from loss of function or imbalance in the skin. Our Enzyme masks are designed to strengthen the underlying structure of the skin by restoring the chemical balance and normalizing the body’s natural processes.

This treatment turns dead skin cells into a weak acid and flushes them from the skin. It creates a back flushing action called Reverse Osmosis which clears cell debris, removes toxins, oxidised waste and free radicals. It increases oxygenation, cell metabolism and immune functions by stimulating blood flow and lymph circulation. This process also stimulates amino acids proline, glycine and lysine to enhance the production of collagen.

Within 45 minutes of applying DMK masques, reverse osmosis occurs, forcing fluids through the cell wall membrane into the matrix to remove impurities. The result is a clean cell and surrounding matrix, creating a perfect, healthy environment for new cells to thrive in.

Your client will experience sensations such as itching and then a regular pulsing as their own body temperature helps to activate the enzymatic action within the skin. This causes the capillaries to dilate and stand out like a roadmap, which shows on the surface of the skin. This is known as Plasmatic Action or the Plasmatic Effect which disappears after some time (usually within a few hours).

Plasmatic action flushes out clogged capillaries, and strengthens the veins that supply oxygen and nutrients which are then taken up by the mitochondria of the skin cells. Mitochondria act like battery packs for the cells, supplying energy to keep them alive. Without vital oxygen and nutrients, the mitochondria malfunctions and the cell dies.

The Plasmatic Effect indicates a successful treatment and that the extracellular fluids are equalised. Extracellular fluids that are too low or too high are the cause of unhealthy, inflamed or toxic skin. Another effect of enzyme therapy is that it stimulates the facial muscles to involuntarily move and contract of their own accord. This strengthens the muscles which results in firmer, tighter skin while improving its structure.

There are three formulations used in Enzyme Therapy, namely DMK Enzyme Masque #1, #2 and #3. These formulations are designed for professional, in salon, use only and to be applied by trained DMK technicians

They are formulated with proteins RNA, L-Lysine and Proline and other ingredients which penetrate the skin, while tightening and contracting the capillaries.

ENZYME MASQUE #1 is a blend of enzymes that hydrolyze dead cell material, debris and impurities from the skin while increasing oxygenation

ENZYME MASQUE #2 works as a muscle contractor that focuses on strengthening the muscle structure of the skin

ENZYME MASQUE #3 works in conjunction with ENZYME MASQUE #2 to intensify its action. It generates chemical heat which advances the enzyme activity of ENZYME MASQUE #2. It is designed for weakened skin to kick start the vital processes of the skin.
