Our beauty centre in Marbella, Glow Beauty Puerto Banús, home to the widest range of aesthetic technology and advanced cosmetics on the Costa del Sol and a pioneer in the latest beauty innovations, expands its facial treatment menu with the introduction of enzyme treatments by the professional skincare brand DMK.
“There are no secret formulas, no special techniques brought in from abroad, and not even miraculous scientific breakthroughs capable of relieving every skin concern, including ageing. There are only the principles of our body’s chemistry, and we must work in harmony with them to give the skin exactly what it needs to be truly healthy.”
These are the words of Danné Montague-King, American scientist and biochemist specialised in cosmetology, who has devoted more than 50 years to the research and development of the DMK Method of Natural Skin Treatment.
During his youth, Danné suffered from severe acne and experienced first-hand what many people feel when their physical appearance is not the way they want it to be. Affected by what he saw around him, and aware that the results of conventional cosmetic products were not definitive, he decided to research the phenomenon of acne, skin pigmentation, ageing, and the way the human body functions.
Danné was one of the first biochemists to discover the properties of enzymes for hydrating and tightening the skin. His research into vitamin C therapy as an anti-free radical agent and collagen booster spanned four decades. As a pioneer in the field of skin science, he focused on developing treatments for the skin of the face and body, based on the use of perfectly balanced ingredients and on responding to the needs of the body’s cellular structure.
Unlike other brands, DMK works with the skin’s internal functions, with the primary goal of creating balance and harmony to achieve a healthy-looking complexion. The American brand’s skincare is based on the principle that skin cells respond positively to chemistry they recognise, and is designed around DMK’s revolutionary concept: REMOVE, REBUILD, PROTECT and MAINTAIN. This approach works with the skin’s structure and function to deliver long-lasting results.
What DMK Enzyme Treatments Involve
DMK is internationally renowned in the world of advanced skincare for its enzyme treatments. But how do these treatments actually work?
Let’s say that, “for something to work, it has to be recognised by the skin.” Using the principles of biochemistry, the brand has formulated a range of treatments and products designed around this core principle: to retrain the skin to function like young, healthy skin. DMK formulas work in synergy with the body’s own chemistry, encouraging the skin to respond positively and improve the way it functions.
Each DMK treatment begins with an exclusive enzyme therapy. There are many enzyme and coenzyme activities — vitamins — within the skin that control its normal functions. For example, the enzyme collagenase helps regulate the synthesis of collagen fibres. If collagenase is destroyed by the impact of an aggressive treatment — such as the acne medication Accutane — collagen fibres can rapidly rush to any area where skin trauma occurs, such as laser resurfacing or acid exfoliation. The result may be a keloid or hypertrophic scar, which is one of the reasons why conventional phenol acid or trichloroacetic acid peels can leave the skin with a waxy appearance.
The normal proliferation of collagen fibres is accelerated, bringing them to the surface to repair and remodel the skin more rapidly. Since DMK treatments do not work on a pH factor like acids do, the topical use of enzymes on the skin only removes the build-up of dead skin cells, which is often mistakenly diagnosed as “dry skin”. As a result, DMK not only helps soften the appearance of wrinkles, but can also target excess oil and skin impurities, revealing skin that looks younger, firmer, and more refined.
The Most In-Demand DMK Treatments
The DMK Enzyme Therapy mask is the most sought-after treatment among the brand’s devotees. Often described as a mask with a life of its own, it works through the messenger enzymes included in its formula and has become a spectacular skin rejuvenation treatment. Thanks to its active ingredients, it helps eliminate toxins, dead skin cells, and impurities, while refreshing, smoothing, and recharging the skin cells with renewed vitality in just 45 minutes.
Its flash effect is visible immediately, while the results continue to improve progressively and remain visibly long-lasting for up to three weeks.
But this is not the brand’s only treatment. DMK’s ACU range of products and treatments is designed to target acne, helping to balance oil production and eliminate bacteria. It effectively clears blemishes, cleanses and refines the pores, while purifying, detoxifying, calming inflammation, and soothing skin irritation.
On the other hand, HYDRATING is the brand’s restorative and moisturising treatment, delivering supreme hydration for skin that appears healthier, calmer, and firmer. Designed for all skin types, it helps combat signs of ageing, wrinkles, fine expression lines, and sun-damaged skin.
For mature, dry skin with visible signs of ageing, DMK’s FOAMY-LIFT system is essential. Formulated with natural enzymes, proteins, and active ribonucleic acid — RNA — ingredients, it gently exfoliates the skin. It helps firm and tone while removing dead skin cells and impurities to reveal a rejuvenated complexion.
In addition to in-cabin treatments, Glow Beauty Puerto Banús offers at-home skincare products to continue the treatment protocol and enhance the effectiveness of DMK’s professional treatments.
