StemZyme is the ultimate long-term skin maintenance treatment that reduces the effects of declining Adult Epidermal Stem Cells, otherwise known as aging. Effects include: fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, uneven skin tone, discoloration, uneven texture, dullness, sallow complexions, enlarged pores, dry skin, and hyper-reactive skin.
Skin cells come and go. Stem Cells are forever.
Normal (aka specialized) cells cannot divide and renew themselves while Stem Cells can. In addition, Stem cells are the only cells in the body that can give rise to other cells.
Adult Stems Cells are the tiny "factories" that replenish your supply of cells, constantly pumping out new materials to refresh your skin. When your skin ages or incurs damage, Stem Cells can fail to fully mature or they mature incorrectly. This causes flaws in the structures and functions of your skin. StemZyme therapy helps the skin by guiding Stem Cells through correct development so your skin can produce perfectly functioning cells. After StemZyme therapy, Stem Cells differentiate (divide) to become specialized cells such as:
Keratinocytes - skin cells that travel to the surface, become corneocytes, and fall from the skin at a robust pace. They prevent dead skin buildup, dryness, and uneven texture.
Fibroblasts - create healthy amounts of collagen and elastin, improving plumpness and elasticity. They prevent wrinkles, glycation, and lack of volume.
Langerhans Cells - protect the skin and make up a strong immune system. They prevent hyper-sensitive skin and immunogenic shock.
Melanocytes - produce a healthy amount of pigment. They prevent hyperpigmentation.
And other healthy functioning cells
StemZyme accomplishes all of this while flushing the skin with vital oxygen and nutrients through Enzyme Therapy. The result: an incredible difference in the long-term health of your skin.
StemZyme activates one's own Adult Epidermal Stem Cells, thus making this treatment truly personalized. There is no use of other sources of stem cells such as plants, humans, or even your blood, as it is the skin stem cells within your own epidermis which are activated.
This treatment is non-invasive and pain free. No blood is needed to extract stem cells. No needles or lasers are used to induce skin regeneration.
There is no risk of host vs. graft rejection of foreign stem cells since they are your own.
No immunogenic or inflammatory shock from injecting foreign cells or invasive treatments such as micro-needling and lasers.
There is a guaranteed histological differentation. AKA, a guaranteed potential for skin cell regeneration. For example, PRP therapy is a popular medical treatment where adult stem cells from your blood are injected into the skin such as under eyes to induce collagen production. The problem with PRP is that Adult stem cells are tissue specific; stem cells found in the skin will only make skin cells. Stem cells found in the blood will only make blood cells. Because you are activating the stem cells within the epidermis of the skin, you WILL create other skin cells with StemZyme.
All in all: StemZyme is safe and effective.
Prior to scheduling your StemZyme treatment, you must recieve at least two DMK Enzyme Treatments to prepare the skin, which also includes using a prescribed home-care regimen for a minimum of 30 days.
On the day of your StemZyme treatment, you will be expected to lay down for about 2.5-3 hours so please make sure you are physically (and sometimes mentally) be able to lay still for this longer period of time compared to your normal DMK Enzyme Treatment.
After the treatment, you will be given your StemZyme home care kit to be used for the following 6o days. Your skin may feel a little dry or flaky the first few days but this will quickly subside.
On Day 12, Day 24, Day 36, and Day 48, you will receive a StemZyme Follow Up Treatment in clinic for a total of 4 Follow Up Treatments--each session lasting about 90 minutes. You will continue to use your homecare kit until Day 60. All 4 Follow Up appointments will be scheduled in advance when you pay your deposit for your Stemzyme kit.
Michaela understands that sickness and emergencies may happen where you will need to reschedule one or more of the 5 treatments. With this possibility in mind, only weekday appointments will be accepted for StemZyme. Saturdays and late evenings will not be available to schedule due to their very limited availability. This is to ensure you will recieve all 5 treatments within the 60 day period.
Please remember that this treatment is a big commitment, not only for you as a client, but for Michaela herself. She will do her best to accommodate your availability, but please understand that she is also a mother of a toddler and wife of a husband who travels for work. Needing to reschedule outside her normal work hours cuts into precious family time and having to find last minute childcare. This treatment will unfortunately not be for you if you are not flexible during the week. If scheduling is an issue, please don't hesitate to ask Michaela about the at-home treatment alternative!
