Treatments · DMK Enzyme Therapy

Restore skin function from within.

Looking for DMK enzyme therapy in San Diego? Level 1 is $279 at the KIAMO SKIN studio in Mission Hills, and it is the treatment used when a barrier is too compromised to tolerate anything stronger.

DMK Enzyme Therapy is designed to restore healthy skin function rather than simply exfoliating the surface. By supporting the skin’s natural processes, it helps strengthen the skin barrier while encouraging healthy circulation and lymphatic activity. It’s especially beneficial for skin that feels over-exfoliated, sensitized, inflamed, or slow to heal.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Every DMK treatment is customized to what your skin needs that day — not a fixed protocol.

  2. 02

    The masque

    As the enzyme masque sets, you’ll feel a tightening and rhythmic pulsing sensation. This is an expected part of the treatment and varies from person to person.

  3. 03

    Home care

    DMK is designed as a complete system. Your personalized home routine supports the work done in the treatment room, helping you achieve the best possible results between visits.

Ideal for

  • Skin recovering from over-exfoliation or aggressive at-home products
  • Skin that stays dehydrated despite moisturizer
  • Congested, sensitive skin that needs a gentler corrective approach

DMK Enzyme Therapy questions

How much does DMK enzyme therapy cost in San Diego?
A DMK Level 1 enzyme treatment at KIAMO SKIN is $279. Level 2 and Level 3 treatments are prescribed and priced at consultation, because which one is appropriate depends on how your skin responds to Level 1.
What does DMK enzyme therapy do for the skin barrier?
DMK enzyme therapy works with the skin’s own function rather than stripping the surface the way an acid peel does. The enzyme masque supports circulation and lymphatic activity while the skin is encouraged to do its own repair work, which is why it suits a barrier that is already inflamed, sensitised or over-exfoliated. As the masque sets you will feel a tightening and rhythmic pulsing — that is expected, and the intensity varies from person to person. It is a corrective treatment for skin that cannot currently tolerate a corrective treatment.
How do you know if your skin barrier is damaged?
A damaged barrier usually announces itself through sensitivity rather than appearance. Products that used to be fine start to sting, skin feels tight after cleansing, redness lingers, and dehydration persists no matter how much moisturizer goes on. Slow healing after a breakout and skin that flares at small changes point the same way. Most barrier damage seen in the studio is self-inflicted by over-exfoliation, strong actives and too many products at once, which also means it is fixable.
How long does it take to repair a damaged skin barrier?
There is no fixed timeline for repairing a skin barrier, and anyone quoting one is guessing. Recovery depends on what caused the damage, how long it has been going on, and what you are willing to stop using at home. Enzyme therapy supports the process, but a barrier will not rebuild while the products that broke it are still in rotation — which is why DMK is prescribed as a system with a home routine, not as a standalone treatment. Skin does not change overnight, but it responds when you stay consistent.
What is the difference between DMK Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3?
Level 1 always comes first, and it is priced at $279. It prepares the skin and shows how the skin actually responds before anything deeper is considered. Levels 2 and 3 layer the enzymes for deeper correction and are prescribed only once Level 1 has done that groundwork, which is why the protocol and the price are set at consultation rather than published. Skipping to a deeper level on unprepared skin is how enzyme therapy goes wrong.
