DMK Enzyme Therapy 🧬

This is the treatment I reach for when the skin needs a true reset.
Not just surface-level results—real skin revision.

Restructure.
Rebalance.
Replenish.
Reactivate.

Whether it’s rosacea, acne, melasma, or a compromised barrier, DMK works with your skin—encouraging it to function the way it was designed to.

By boosting oxygenation and supporting detoxification, we’re not just treating symptoms… we’re strengthening the skin from within.

This is where healing begins ✨

If your skin feels stuck, reactive, or just not like you—this is your sign.

Not to be dramatic…but dermaplaning is that girl ✨

We’re talking about a treatment that removes layers of dead skin + peach fuzz in one go—and leaves you with skin that looks filtered IRL.

But let’s get into the facts:

• It’s a form of physical exfoliation = brighter, smoother skin instantly

• Your skincare penetrates deeper (aka your $$$ products finally do their job)

• Makeup goes on like glass…no patchiness, no clinging

• It helps with texture, dullness, and that “why does my skin look tired?” feeling

And for the record—your hair is not growing back thicker. That’s outdated info and we’ve evolved since then.

This is for the girls who want results and that clean, polished, glowing skin without the downtime.

This is a great add on to Hydrafacial or DMK 🫧

Book it. Your skin will tell on you in the best way ✨

4 Things You Need For Healthy Spring Skin 🌸 ⬇️

1. Barrier Support 💪 Why all this talk about the barrier? The skin barrier is a hot topic, as it should be. When the skins barrier is happy, healthy, and supported, everyone is happy 🥰 My favorite place to start is the Barrier Pro products from Colorescience. Very mindfully made to help keep your skin happy and support a strong foundation for healthy skin.

2. Monthly Treatments 💦 Hydrafacial is a great option for monthly exfoliation, extractions, and hydration. It’s everything you need in a facial treatment for healthy, glowing skin. Seeing the right person is important! Experience matters. Call me 📞♥️

3. Jelly Mask Heaven ☁️ Jelly masks are my number 1 most requested add on. They lock in the hydration from the hydrafacial and feel like a cool, calm cloud sitting on your face.

4. SPF Reapplication ☀️ I will never stop talking about this. You have to reapply your spf throughout the day and Colorescience makes it so easy with their brush on spf! Ive been using the Sunforgettable Brush On SPF for 15 years! With the weather warming up, we all will be outside more, buy the brush. It’s so worth it.

Ok, that’s all! DM me for appointments

Hydrafacial Controversy Part 3: My Experience Buying my Machine(s) ⬇️

• I put $6k down and had a monthly payment of $1500 for 18 months. So I ended up paying $33k with interest. I know that seems like a high monthly payment, but all you have to do is calculate how many Hydrafacial’s you need to do per month to pay that payment. At the time I was charging $225 for a Hydrafacial. I needed to perform 7 Hydrafacial’s a month to pay that $1500.

•My Elite device would be around $34k if you brought it brand new. My Syndeo device would be around $43k brand new 🤯 berry berry expensive.

• I should not have bought my 2nd device. I wish I would have just traded in my Elite for the Syndeo. If I only knew then what I know now! My second device sat around the spa a lot.

• The ROI on a Hydrafacial is great once you get your machine paid off! A treatment will cost you $30-$40 (maybe more depending on the add ons that you do) but even if it costs you $60 and you charge $250-$400 per treatment… LARGE PROFIT MARGIN.

•This is just MY experience! Do what works for you. I had used Hydrafacial my entire career and Ive always loved it so it felt natural to buy one and I’m so glad I did.

Hydrafacial Controversy Part 2 Key Takeaways ⬇️

• If you are educated and understand your vision, you will be successful with whatever product or device you bring on

• If you’re ordering a small amount of product each month, you’re not going to get the support of a bigger partner with Hydrafacial. THATS. SHOW. BIZ. BABY.

• Thinking about receiving a Hydrafacial? Do it! Try it and see why you think. Just go to someone with experience.

That’s all for today! This was fun! Part 3 coming soon.

03/26/2026

Hydrafacial Controversy Key Take Aways ⬇️

• Hydrafacial is great if you know what you’re doing with the machine and truly under the skin and how it functions

• You do not have to use a Hydrafacial to get incredible results in your treatment room

• You might not receive the attention that you want right away from the company if you’re not buying that much product

Follow along for more Hydrafacial info! I said Part 2 but this will probably be a multi part series 🥰

As always, if you’re an Esty to need to chat about anything, send me a DM! Happy to help or just be an ear. I’m a superb listener 😌
