Let me tell you a little story about me...
I have never had a problem with skin before. Sure I've had the odd spot here and there, a bit of stress acne now and then but nothing worth worrying about. Until recently, when I made some changes in my lifestyle. My worst nightmare came true. You know when you look in the mirror, everything blurs out and the only thing that stares you back in the face is a big red "HELLO I'M HERE!" So naturally, I panicked and started to look for every option to sort this out pronto! I've had the fluffy facials before and tried the whole "dry them out until they die" options and although I saw a slight difference, it was nothing worth getting excited about and my skin felt no different in other aspects.
After looking into different methods and treatments, I came across something unlike anything I had heard of before. So naturally, I made the call and made an appointment at
The Laser Lounge Morningside for a DMK Enzyme Treatment. As soon as I walked in the door, I felt completely welcome and there was even a beautiful baby chilling out on the rug while his mum was getting treated (you can actually take the little ones to your appointment because this is a child friendly salon)!
My treatment started off with some cleansing of course and even at this stage I started to feel relaxed because the brush my therapist used on me was so soft it felt beautiful on my skin. Throughout the process, my therapist Esther explained absolutely everything to me from what she was doing to how it would benefit and what feelings I should expect (being someone who needs to know everything, this was so amazing for me because I didn't have to keep asking what was going on!)
There was a whole process to this treatment with every step tying in with the next. During the treatment, I felt like things were "working". Do you know what I mean by "working"? As in not just a whole lot of moisturiser sitting on my face while I laid down in a bed. I mean ingredients that actually felt they were making their way down deeper layers of skin and actively doing their thing. Then came the moment of truth, the enzyme mask was applied to my face and neck and down to my décolletage. I was told by my therapist that this is going to feel tight and could be slightly itchy but that this is completely normal. She put on the mask and yes it did feel very tight, it kind of feels like if you move you will crack but boy does it feel like its doing wonders. The best part about all this is, when the mask is on you don't really have time to even care about the tightness on your face because your therapist will offer you a hand and arm massage for the 40 minutes while the mask is sinking into your skin. This treatment is so active that I actually felt a slight pulsation in some places - wow!
After leaving the salon, my skin felt good but it wasn't until about a day or two later that I started to really like what I saw. My skin had been rejuvenated, was glowing, the texture felt different and the spots had started to subside. Please don't get me wrong, I by no means think there is a magical cure to treat pimples overnight but I do believe that there are treatments that work and of course this goes hand in hand with how you treat your skin outside of the salon and what you eat.
There is an amazing range of take home skin care in the DMK range and this isn't something you can just jump online to purchase. The therapists tailor make a skin care prescription/plan for you which is suited to you skin and your needs. They even have essential fatty acid vitamins to ensure you are doing the right things to help the insides too!
I've included some information on DMK Skin below so if you're feeling like your skin needs a bit of tender love and care, give the girls at The Laser Lounge a call - you will not regret it. I for one have deemed myself to be an enzyme-mask-addict now!

Enzyme Therapy:
Restores skin to its peak condition
DMK is the only company in the world to utilise the beneficial effects of transfer messenger enzymes. Enzymes are living substances that regulate health and work with certain minerals in the body to form a natural system of antioxidants that fight corrosive free radicals. Properly formulated, they can remove dead protein, toxins and other effluvia from the epidermis using a process called ‘reverse osmosis’.
Where some cosmetic facial treatments may only act on the surface of the skin, DMK Enzyme Treatments work with the skin. The enzymes aim to strengthen the structural integrity of the skin to create a healthy environment for cells to live and thrive in.
Enzyme Therapy exercises facial muscles and works to leave the skin feeling firm.
