Many people assume that the skin can be peeled layer by layer like an onion. This is not the case. When viewed under a microscope, the skin is actually a series of hills and valleys with old and new cells constantly shifting.
A thick build up of dead skin cells slows down all of the functions of the skin, including the vital production of secretive glands that give us our young, bright Acid Mantle.
The PRO ALPHA SIX LAYER PEEL & RP PEEL both remove this build-up and actually enhance the skin’s own ability to remove excess keratin plugs within the ducts. It also re-establishes a healthier environment for normal cell proliferation by desquamation and elimination of waste material.
The PRO ALPHA & RP PEELS are unique in the fact that they REMOVE and REBUILD at the same time. By applying the full DMK CONCEPT, the skin quickly responds to what it recognizes and its natural function is restored to leave you with healthy, glowing skin.
Because both the PRO ALPHA & RP PEELS are made from natural fruit sugar acids combined with Vitamin A derivatives, they do not cause a controlled burn to the skin as in the case of medical peels.
They do not void out natural pigmentation by leaving a waxy artificial appearance to the skin. Nor do they leave any permanent lines or demarcation under the jaw line as in the case of medical peels.
Lastly, there is no excessive oedema (swelling) or heavy erythema (redness) in which the client must be out of the sun or public view for extended periods of time.
Prior to scheduling your Pro-Alpha Six Layer Peel or Remodeling Peel, you must receive at least two DMK Enzyme Treatments to prep the skin.
Once your Peel is scheduled, you will be given prescribed homecare that will include a retinol to prep the skin --at least 10-14 days before the peel.
On the day of your Peel, Michaela will apply layers of the Peel solution. You may experience some stinging or burning during the application of each layer, but these sensations will subside. A fan will also help you feel more comfortable.
After the application, you will leave the solution on your skin and will not wash it off until the evening, or approximately 8-12 hours. Your skin will look shiny and may be pink or red. You will also receive a homecare kit that includes a cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
The next morning, you will cleanse the skin and apply the moisturizer and sunscreen from your kit. Should you choose, you may also apply makeup.
Starting on day 3, you may start to see some peeling that will vary from mild flakes to large sheets. Regardless of how severe the peeling is, you must not pick or pull the skin as it will risk scarring or infection.
On the fifth or sixth day, most of the peeling should be completed. This is also the day you are scheduled to come in for your DMK Enzyme Lift Off Treatment which will help remove any residual flakes and promote healthy skin regeneration. Most clients look forward to this day as it hydrates the skin, making it feel less itchy/irritated--a big plus compared to other peels that don't allow you this luxury!
On the ninth or tenth day depending on the type of peel recieved and severity of peeling, you may be scheduled for another Lift Off Treatment.
You will continue to use DMK Home Prescriptives to maintain your results and schedule your regular DMK Enzyme Treatments.
