Frequently Asked QuestionS

I’m struggling with my acne and not sure how to clear up my skin. What should I do?

You’ve probably tried a lot of different treatments, one leaving you more disappointed than the others. But smooth, healthy, and vibrant skin is not impossible to achieve. With the right approach, you can slowly begin to rebuild your skin’s barrier and heal from the inside out. It takes patience and determination, but it’s possible and still within your reach to get the results you want!

First, Take good care of your body. If you want clear skin (and to be able to maintain it long-term), you need to look after your body. This boils down to 3 key components: nutrition, exercise, and sleep.  Second, know which products are good for you and which you should stay away from. This is one of the most important pieces of advice to remember when struggling with acne. Using the right products will help heal your skin, and repeatedly using the wrong products can pore-clog which will only delay your progress. This means feeding your skin with all nutrients it needs, learning about toxins that can trigger breakouts or asking for guidance from a professional. Finally, a good home care routine for clear skin should include 7 major elements: cleansing, toning, exfoliating, serum, moisturizing, mask, and sun protection.

What should you expect during your first consultation?

Depending on your condition, your initial consultation with us could take anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. After collect your skin information/concern and products provided to us, we will conduct a 3D scanning, followed by a diagnosis and detailed treatment plan. We encourage you to ask questions, and we will be glad to address any concerns you may have.

What Cleanser should you use?

A good place to start taking care of your skin is with a Cleanser. Try a Balancing Cleanser, which gently removes pore-clogging dirt and debris from your skin while leaving its natural oils intact such as Arnica Cleanser, Clean & Clear Cleanser.

The natural ingredients in this formula help balance oil production and calm inflammation, while also reducing discoloration from sun damage and acne scars.

Which moisturizers/lotions should you use?

Retaining moisture is an important aspect of skin care, and can not only help your skin feel soft, but also help it maintain health and vitality. Choosing a moisturizer involves knowing your skin condition and specific needs. If you have dry skin, for example, you may want a heavier, oil or petroleum-based moisturizer, and if you have oily, acne-prone skin, look for moisturizers that are water-based, oil-free moisturizer. People with sensitive skin should get perfume-free formulations. And moisturizers with SPF protection are also an excellent choice if you plan to be out in the sun.

Which Serum should you start first if you can’t more than one serum?

Free radical damage is one aging factor. Blocking free radical from getting at healthy tissues by applying topical antioxidant and taking antioxidant supplements is must. Also, Antioxidant Serum attributes towards healthy skin and achieving a youthful appearance. Triple Anti oxidant Serum is the best choice. Studies have found the skin protection benefits to be much more effective when using a combination of Triple Vitamin C, B and E rather than by using each Vitamin alone. With all these ingredients working together, this vitamin-loaded formula delivers the full scope of antioxidant care, and complete skin rejuvenation, moisturizing and lightening treatment.

What sunscreen should you use?

The most common stressors that your skin faces on a daily basis is the sun.  It’s important to protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays form the sun. UVB rays are what causes sunburn, but UVA light passes deeper into the skin, causing damage to collagen, your skin’s DNA and skin cancer. To protect yourself, sunscreen on a daily basis is a must. Even if it’s cloudy, it’s important to use sunscreen.  Look for formulas with physical protection (ingredients such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide). Our Replenishing Tinted Sunscreen/Age Defense guards your skin against UV rays while providing nourishing coverage that can be used underneath or in place of foundation. Also, it doesn’t smell sunscreen or make your skin look greasy or oil.

dMK Customized treatments

I just want to hydrate my skin, how many DMK treatments do I need?

You can come in monthly if you have nice skin and want to maintain it that way.

Can I just have the treatment and use whatever I have?

We can’t guarantee the results. We don’t know how the chemicals are going to mix with the products you are using in treatment. Our concept are Remove, Rebuild, Protect and Maintain. These four steps are how we get such great results. ½ of the process is done by you as their Esthetician, ½ of it is done by home prescriptive which you have carefully chosen based on their skin condition.

Why DMK treatment is more expensive than other treatments?

They are 120-minute treatments focusing on serious skin revision.  Not only you are paying for the time, but you are also paying for your expertise and knowledge.

Do you have any treatment at a lower price?

Yes, we offer Nutritional Facials such as Beauty Journey's signature facial. It is not for serious skin revision but offers services without the Enzyme Mask. This will cut down on time and cost.

Once I finish your skin revision, if I can't continue to maintain the treatments, does my skin go back the same way when I haven't had your 6 months revision program?

The skin revision is considered as losing weight program. Once you stop working out and eating right your body isn’t going to immediately go back to how it was before you started, but eventually will if you don’t take care of it. Same for our skin.

Can I just have it every 3-to 4 months treatment after I finished your 6 months skin Revision Program?

Again, think of skin revision as losing weight. Once you lost the weight you wanted, you are not going to just stop every healthy habit and go back to eating poorly and stop exercising. The same goes for your skin. I would recommend monthly treatments to keep up with the results of the skin revision program. 

After I finished the Skin revision Program, can I go back to using my other products?

Not if you want to keep the results of the program up. We can’t guarantee results with other products as we do not know what is in them or how they react with the skin.

Should I need to continue to use DMK products once I finished skin revision treatments?

Yes. These keep up the results of the treatments.

Do I need to continue the treatment once I achieve my goal?

Once a month is ideal. Again, if you can’t make it monthly, every 2 months is better than nothing.
