DMK Enzyme therapy treatments are designed to rebuild the skin’s core strength to make it healthier and more vibrant. Enzyme therapy enhances optimal skin functioning by working with internal systems to increase lymphatic drainage and circulation, delivering extensive amounts of oxygenated blood and nutrients to the skin cells. Reverse osmosis flushes through the cells helping to clear toxins, waste, and free radicals, increasing free water levels leaving the skin bouncy and youthful. Enzyme Therapy stimulates collagen production, restoring structural integrity back to the skin whilst being suitable for a wide range of conditions such as ageing skin, sun damage, congestion, acne, rosacea and pigmentation.

It is impossible to estimate how many treatments are required as hair removal is dependent upon a number of factors such as: The treatment usually takes approximately 30-45 mins. Alkaline wash is used in skin treatments to remove dead cell material from the surface, so this gentle exfoliation will actually benefit your skin, although your skin may feel dry for a period of time after the treatment. This is normal and is not harmful to your skin. The treatment is pain free, however in some cases, usually after the initial treatment before the skin has adjusted to alkaline, you may experience some redness or dryness. You may even have some superficial scabs, although this is when the hair is very coarse and the alkaline wash solution may need to be left on the skin for longer. As long as you do not scratch or pick the scabs, they should heal given normal conditions. As with any product applied topically, there may be small percentages of people in the population that may experience an adverse reaction. Alkaline wash can be used on any hair growth except on the eyebrows. alkaline wash is also very good for treating ingrown hairs and areas of pigmentation from waxing, or scars. On very coarse hair it can be used in conjunction with electrolysis. After care instructions Only use DMK skin care products on the treated area as prescribed by your paramedical skin technician, other products may affect the outcome. Do not sunbathe or use a solarium for 24 hours. DMK does not recommend the use of solariums. We recommend the use of Beta Gel and SPF when having alkaline treatments.

LED is suitable for all skin types and is a completely pain-free, noninvasive approach to working with light producing amazing results. During the past 10 years, independent worldwide research from organizations such as NASA has shown that light applied in the correct wavelength stimulates intercellular communication, resulting in skin rejuvenation. LED is an un-intrusive soothing and rejuvenating treatment and will treat acne, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, acne scarring and rosacea. LED light therapy uses light-emitting diode (LED) technology to activate and promote a positive change to the skin improving the overall texture of the epidermis, resulting in a more youthful, radiant appearance and texture. Learn more about LED below our pricing. All prices are inclusive of GST, and may be subject to change without notice. We accept cash, EFTPOS, VISA and MasterCard. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which is a light source. During treatment an LED facial light is used to produce specific wavelengths of light that are absorbed into your skin. Your skin then uses this light energy as fuel to drive cellular reactions, such as the production of proteins and lipids that are required for building and restoring the skin, or increased intercellular communication and purification. As we age, our metabolism slows down, meaning our cells loose energy, and our body produces less collagen and elastin – the essential ingredients that support and nourish our skin. Different colours represent different wavelengths of light. The different wavelengths have unique properties and can therefore be used to target certain skin conditions. For example, the wavelength of light that corresponds to blue light can be used for acne treatments. This is because blue light is absorbed by porphyrins, which are molecules that are produced by P. acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. On absorption, the light creates a chemical change, resulting in free radicals. The free radicals then kill the bacteria from the inside, without harming the skin cells. On the other hand, red light, stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin and thereby improves skin strength. On the other hand, red light, stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin and thereby improves skin strength, elasticity and plumpness and also reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. BENEFITS OF LED LIGHT THERAPY We use the Healite II LED machine which is a medical grade LED to target different concerns for ultimate results. Our settings are matched with your skin concerns, creating a pattern of different lights, to ensure maximum results. Blue light therapy is sterilising and used to eliminate bacteria, excellent for oily and acne prone skin. The yellow light therapy calms and heals the skin, promoting collagen production and encouraging cell renewal. This is perfect for reducing wrinkles, hydrating the skin and helps with overall face firmness. The yellow light therapy is calming, reduces redness, swelling and inflammation. Very beneficial for rosacea and treating sunburn. Your beauty therapist will discuss these with you in the consultation process and decide which light would be best suited to your skin, and skin concerns. The number of treatments needed varies with different skin types and conditions. Add an LED Light Therapy session to your facial, peel or microdermabrasion treatment for $65. The light will be on the skin for 10-20 minutes depending on the condition being treated.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Smoother, more hydrated skin with a radiant sheen can be seen even after the first treatment, however we typically recommend a course of 9 treatments, 3 times a week for 3 weeks for optimum results. As with any skin care treatment, maintenance is highly recommended to ensure lasting results. On average, a maintenance treatment is suggested every four to six weeks.
Dermaplaning / Epidermal Levelling is a safe procedure for gentle, yet controlled exfoliation while also temporarily removing fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the face. Using a scalpel and a delicate touch, we simply abrade the surface of the skin using light feathering strokes ridding the top dead skin cell layer and hair, giving a brighter, radiant looking complexion. There is no pain or downtime with Dermaplaning and results are immediate. All prices are inclusive of GST, and may be subject to change without notice. We accept cash, EFTPOS, VISA and MasterCard. Results are immediate and will be seen with each treatment. We recommend Dermaplaning every 4-6 weeks depending on your own hair growth cycle, and treatments can be ongoing. No, dermaplaning does not affect the actual hair follicle. Every individual hair follicle has its own individual DNA, which we are born with. This will determine whether it is vellus (light, thin) or terminal (thicker, darker). Terminal hairs are predetermined, they tend to appear due to hormone changes such as pregnancy, menopause and hormonal imbalances. Some medications can also increase hair growth. Once the hair is cut it has a blunt edge, but this blunt edge does not mean that the hair structure itself has been physiologically altered. So therefore, Dermaplaning does not affect how your hair would regrow. It will grow back at the same rate and texture as before the treatment. No, there is no downtime with Dermaplaning. Initially the skin may be slightly pink due to the removal of hair and exfoliation, and increasing circulation of the skin. Some people can get slight faking of the skin after a few days which can be gently exfoliated at day 3-4. Please make sure to keep your skin well nourished and moisturised as recommended by your therapist. Due to the nature of using a blade, there is always the possibility of a small nick which we try our best to avoid, but it can happen from time to time. This is very superficial to the surface, and will disappear within 2-3 days. We also cannot treat those with nickel allergies due to the metal blade and possible reactions. If you have not been to us for facial treatments before we will do an initial skin consultation to ensure there are no contraindications to the treatment such as allergies to metal and raised lesions. Your treatment starts with a double cleanse to ensure all surface makeup is removed, we follow this with a solution to help further remove any surface oils and remaining makeup to ensure the skin is clean. We then will proceed with your Dermaplaning treatment using a new sterile bladed handle which gently applies pressure as it ‘swipes’ back and forth across the skin on an angle. We will remove fine vellus hair from the full face and neck (if required) with this action. This gives a clean controlled exfoliation to the skin along with removing the fine vellus hair. Once we have completed this we will follow your treatment with a Peptide Sheet Mask which has calming and hydrating properties. SPF is applied after your treatment and recommended for daily use. You can be pink after your Dermaplaning for an hour or so, and we recommend not to wear makeup on the day of your treatment to ensure skin is kept clean from bacteria. Possible ‘nicks’ can happen, however we do try our utmost best to avoid this, but due to the nature of the blade it is a possibility which is why we recommend having this treatment a minimum of 3 days prior to an event. If you have not had Dermaplaning before and wish to have it for your wedding, we highly recommend having a trial beforehand. At Loft Skin + Beauty we only use high quality, one time use sterile devices. We pride ourselves on both our knowledge and experience but also on our thorough consultations that ensure we have all the necessary information to minimise the risk of complications. At Loft Beauty Boutique you can be sure that your safety is our first priority.

Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure where we use a pen like machine that uses a spray of microcrystals to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger, healthier looking skin. Microdermabrasion is great for ridding you of skin build-up quickly and instantly. It’s ideal for those wishing to improve the skins appearance and reduce the signs of ageing, congestion, blackheads, dead skin cell build up, mild scarring, pores, age spots and rough thickened skin texture. Book now for your microdermabrasion treatment, or learn more below. Pre-paid concessions are to be used within 6 months from purchase date. All prices are inclusive of GST, and may be subject to change without notice. We accept cash, EFTPOS, VISA and MasterCard. The skin grows from the inside out wards, cells are born healthy and plump, then they migrate outwards, reaching the skins surface as empty flakes to shed off naturally. As we age this fall off rate slows down and we get skin cell build-up. The extra cells look dull, uneven, they clog your pores, and stop your skincare from penetrating where you want it to go. To correct this, we use treatments that remove the excess cells from the surface like Microdermabrasion to speed up cell turnover and rid this dead skin cell buildup for softer, smoother, more radiant looking skin. All skin types can benefit from microdermabrasion treatments such as ageing, congested, flaky, dry, devitalized, thickened, blemished, dull and sun damaged skins. You will be rejuvenated and refreshed, blotchiness, uneven skin tone and texture will be improved. Microdermabrasion will reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, chicken pox scars, brown/age spots, fine-lined wrinkles, dead skin cell build up, large pores, and other skin imperfections. Our Microdermabrasion is a medical grade machine resulting in the best results for your skin. Microdermabrasion is a progressive treatment, not aggressive. Although one microdermabrasion will yield a fresher, smoother looking skin, generally results are realised after the fourth, fifth or sixth treatment. Initially treatments can be performed every 7-14 days. Once the series of treatments is completed it is recommended that monthly maintenance continue in order to maintain the desired results, along with prescribed home-care products.
