The DMK Difference: Facials vs Advanced Skin Treatments

There are numerous facial and skin treatments on the market, and you would be forgiven for saying or thinking, “I’m having a facial today,” when in reality, you are booked in for skin needling or microdermabrasion. So what exactly is the difference between a facial and an advanced skin treatment? Great question! We are going to explain and explore it all in this blog. 

What is the difference between a facial vs advanced skin treatment?

Simply put, a facial will clean the grease and gunk off your face, while an advanced skin treatment goes skin deep, literally, and works with all the layers of your skin - from its interior to its external surface.

Facials will pamper and treat the skin, make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated and are a great way to add additional moisture to your skin, for a feel-good refresh. However, they will not help you achieve lasting skin results or tackle skin damage, ageing or acne. These skin issues require a clinical skincare approach with advanced skin treatments. 

What can advanced skin treatments help with?

Advanced skin treatments help with many different skin issues in a variety of different ways. For example, advanced skin treatments include laser treatments, LED light therapy, intense pulsed light (IPL) treatments, peels, as well as microdermabrasion and skin needling, as mentioned above. They are also often accompanied by a medical-grade home skincare routine. 
The thing these treatments have in common (and the big difference between these types of treatments and facials) is that they all work at a cellular level and within the entire skin regeneration cycle. By providing deep penetration into the layers of skin, they target the problem at its core and provide lasting results. 

Take IPL therapy for an example; arguably one of the best treatments for pigmentation and the repair of sun damaged skin. This treatment uses light energy applied directly to the skin and zeros in on certain colours in your skin. The heat applied damages the cell structure forcing it to rebuild itself and stimulate the production of collagen, beginning the natural regeneration process of the skin.

A huge benefit of advanced skin treatments is that you can target several unwanted conditions at once. For example IPL is used for hyperpigmentation but can also tighten the skin on your face by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, (without the use of injections) using the same approach. Additionally, IPL is a superior treatment for severe acne sufferers and can be used for permanent hair removal too.

Are facials good for your skin?

Yes, they are! They can revitalise and replenish the moisture and vitamins your skin needs, while tackling some skin issues such as the removal of blackheads, pimples and blemishes. They are also a wonderful way to relax and show yourself, or give someone you care about, some selfcare. This is why they make terrific gifts.  The choice of whether to have a facial or advanced skin treatment all comes down to your objectives and what you want for your skin. 

DMK facials explained - how they help your skin long-term

DMK facials are different because you get the best of both approaches; a relaxing and pampered experience combined with a high-tech, science-backed, advanced skin treatment. 

DMK believes that everyone deserves to have great skin and so they have created a range of treatments and products within their skincare system to help fix skin conditions that cause disharmony in the skin and distress or discomfort to you.  

The system is based on the principle that skin cells respond positively to the chemistry they recognise and therefore DMK’s philosophy of ‘REMOVE, REBUILD, PROTECT, and MAINTAIN’ works with the structure, function and individual biochemistry of each person’s skin, to generate long-lasting results.

For optimal results, DMK’s signature Enzyme Therapy treatment targets a range of skin problems such as:

• Acne (mild to severe - blackhead, papules, pustules and cysts)

• Congested pores and impaired skin barrier

• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

• Redness and rosacea

• Fine lines, wrinkles and age management

• Dryness, skin sensitivities and irritations

• Psoriasis and eczema

• Cellulite, stretch marks and scarring

What kind of skincare wizardry can do all these things, to all skin types, and not be invasive? DMK Enzyme Therapy can!

Enzyme Therapy, when formulated properly, helps the epidermis eliminate toxins,  impurities, dead proteins and other harmful cell discharge using your body's natural lymphatic drainage system. The enzymes encourage your cells to operate optimally. They increase oxygenation and circulation, back flush the skin, clear debris from your cells and strengthen their structural integrity so they can regenerate properly, returning your skin to its original youthful state. Think about the skin underneath your armpit, it most likely hasn’t seen much sun, and this is the state your skin can return to.

Following a tri-level process DMK Enzyme therapy gradually introduces your skin to Enzyme Therapy, while also correcting the skin in stages. This increases its effectiveness and pushes the skin to improve further.  

Level One Enzyme Therapy

This skin treatment provides mild exfoliation and focuses on providing nutrients and blood flow to your cells, getting them ready for the real action which happens in level two.

Level Two DMK Enzyme Therapy

This part in the process centres on addressing your skin problems, singular or many. Part one gently peels the skin and then follows with a Enzyme mask for correcting and cell function amplification, or a Greenzyme mask for muscle build up and enhancement.

Level Three DMK Enzyme Therapy

Lots can happen at this level, it all depends on what your skin goals are and what skin issues you are looking to target. By selecting specific types of peels for the skin and combining different exfoliants into your treatments you can propel the skin to rebuild, advance and repair itself, returning it to its natural youthful state. 

Depending on the needs of your skin and its condition, you may require multiple treatments at each level. Your skin therapist will determine the number of treatments required and the level at which you will begin the Enzyme Process. 

Next time you look in the mirror and think, ‘I need to do something about this,’ when it comes to a skin problem you’re facing, you will now know that getting a facial is not the answer.
