If you've seen photos of someone in a firm, tightening mask with a visible map of capillaries across their face, you've seen DMK Enzyme Therapy. It looks unusual. It's also one of the most effective treatments we offer.
DMK isn't a typical facial. It's a paramedical treatment designed to restore your skin's natural function, so it behaves more like younger, healthier skin. It works with your skin, not against it.
How DMK Enzyme Therapy works
DMK uses transfer messenger enzymes to support your skin's own processes. As the enzyme masque activates, it:
Boosts circulation and oxygenation to bring nutrients to the skin
Stimulates lymphatic drainage to clear stagnant fluid and waste
Tightens as it sets, working the underlying muscles and creating a "reverse osmosis" effect that flushes through the cell
Many treatments also include Pro Lift muscle banding, a technique that stimulates and contracts the muscles of the face, neck and chest to tighten, lift and firm.
What it treats
Acne and congestion
Pigmentation and melasma
Aging, fine lines and loss of elasticity
Rosacea and redness
Dull, lackluster skin
It's also suitable for all skin types and tones, and it can be preventative.
What it feels like
The treatment takes about 90 minutes. As the masque hardens you'll feel it tighten, and you may notice a gentle pulsing beneath the skin. That's normal. It isn't painful, but it is active.
Afterward you may see a temporary "roadmap" of capillaries called the plasmatic effect. It fades within about 30 minutes.
Some clients, especially those treating acne, may go through a short purging phase. It's temporary and part of the skin rebalancing.
Results and frequency
Most clients notice firmer, brighter, more resilient skin after the first session. Deeper correction of acne, pigment or scarring takes a series.
We typically start with treatments every 2–4 weeks, then move to maintenance. Results are cumulative, and pairing your treatments with DMK home care extends them.
Can I combine it with other treatments?
Yes. DMK pairs well with SkinPen® microneedling, Aerolase®, chemical peels and dermaplaning. It can also be customized during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with some add-ons modified.

If you want to treat the root cause rather than the surface, DMK is where we'd start the conversation.
