DMK s The building blocks for MelanoZone treatments Cleansing > Removes impurities, excess oil, makeup and toxins from the outside environment. 1. Mix a pea sized amount of deep pore cleanser plus or rinsing milk plus in a DMK mixing bowl, add water and whip with a DMK fan brush into a light and fluffy consistency. 2. Cleanse the skin using flowing circular movements, starting from the décolleté and working your way up the neck to cover the entire face. 3. Remove cleanser with a warm, moist towel. Pro Alpha #1 > Hydrolyzes dead cell material drawing water up to the surface, dislodging and pushing sebum plugs to the surface and increasing dermal hydration. NOTE: pro alpha #1 is NOT removed before applying the unique transfer messenger enzyme formulation. enzyme masque #1 and pro alpha solution work hand in hand to improve skin functioning. pro alpha #1 pulls up free water levels, while enzyme masque #1 moves the water with reverse osmosis. 1. Use the application technique described below. Dermatox > Acts like a liquid magnet, drawing out and vaporising toxins from the skin. NOTE: Inform your client that they may smell strong odours due to its vaporising effect. If you are going to use sebum soak on the client s skin, apply dermatox after sebum soak. 1. Pour dermatox onto a cotton ball and wipe over cleansed face, neck and décolleté, staying away from the eye area. Steam skin if desired. 2. Leave on for 3 minutes. 3. Remove well with a warm, moist towel. Melanoplex Drops > Suppresses melanin production, minimizes acne infections and brightens the skin. NOTE: melanoplex drops have a stinging sensation when applied after any resurfacing procedure. 1. Ice areas of acne infection, pigment or darker skin. 2. Blot the skin with a tissue, drop and spread melanoplex drops onto the forehead, each side of the face and the affected areas. 3. melanoplex drops will inhibit pigmentation, reduce inflammation and help to kill infection. 1 8 2 9 3 7 10 12 13 14 Begin application on the forehead as this is the least sensitive area. Using a cotton tip, apply a thin layer over the brow, up under the eyes, down the cheekbone and onto the chin. Apply on the nose with a downward stroke. Repeat on the other side of the face and finish the application by stroking downwards onto the neck and décolleté. DO NOT ALLOW FORMULATION TO GET INTO THE EYES, NOSTRILS OR THE CORNERS OF THE MOUTH. These delicate membrane areas will become irritated if they come into contact with the enzymes contained in pro alpha #1. 2. Occlude with cling film and a hot towel for 5 minutes. 3. Blot the face with a tissue to remove excess from the surface but do not remove the pro alpha #1 formulation as it needs to penetrate the epidermis. 4. Apply enzyme masque #1 over the top. 4 5 6 11 3

Prozyme > An exfoliation formula designed to remove the accumulation of old, redundant dead cell material and pigmentation. NOTE: Inform your client that they may experience hot, raw, sore or itchy skin. Most clients experience a slightly sunburnt feeling with some dryness and flakiness after a prozyme treatment. This is more common with the first treatment. You may recommend that they use ice at home for relief. 1. Preheat the skin with a hot towel. 2. Mix 1 to 2 teaspoons of prozyme and aqua d herbs to a paste using a DMK prozyme brush. 3. Remove the hot towel and quickly apply prozyme to the full face, neck or décolleté or to the areas being treated. 4.

Repeat on the other side of the face and finish the application by stroking downwards onto the neck and décolleté. DO NOT ALLOW FORMULATION TO GET INTO THE EYES, THE NOSTRILS OR THE CORNERS OF THE MOUTH. These are delicate membrane areas that will become extremely irritated for several days if they come into contact with the enzymes contained in prozyme. 5. Occlude with cling film and apply a hot towel. 6. Alternate hot towels throughout the process the hotter the better. 7. prozyme can be left on for 5 to 25 minutes depending on the amount of removal required. (Indian and Asian skins only require 5 to 10 minutes. For first time clients, start with 5 minutes on an Indian skin and 10 minutes on a Caucasian skin.) 8. Remove well with a wet towel. 9. Ice to reduce the chance of any irritation. 4 11 5 6 12 13 14 4

Enzyme Masque #1 > Enhances optimal skin functioning by working with internal functions to increase circulation, oxygenation and lymphatic drainage. Reverse osmosis flushes through the cells, clears toxins and free radicals and stimulates collagen production. 1. Mix 2 heaped teaspoons of enzyme masque #1 with either aqua d herbs, exoderma or desquamate using the DMK fan brush into a fluffy consistency. aqua d herbs Our most common mixer is a polarised water formula containing hand soaked herbs. When mixed with enzyme masque #1, this formulation is suitable for all skins including thin, reactive and fragile skin. It has the least amount of hydrolysing. You can use this combination on a client who is using medication such as Roaccutain or Retin A. exoderma A multipurpose liquid gel derived from seaweed, exoderma can be used directly on the skin as a mini masque to lift off dry dead skin, or as an activator when mixed with enzyme masque #1. It is very good on reactive, inflamed, or dry, rough skin as it acts as a microscopic exfoliator. desquamate Mixed with enzyme masque #1, desquamate increases the hydrolysing power which breaks the surface tension and removes additional dead cell material on thicker, oilier skin. desquamate contains amino acids that sink the enzymes further into the epidermis. 2. Use the application technique described below. 5 Start at the base of the décolleté, sweep across the chest in a half circle below the collarbones and then up onto the neck. Divide the face in half, stroking upwards and outward on the jawline and moving up the cheek to under the eye. Complete the circle taking the brush up on the forehead and down on the nose. DO NOT ALLOW FORMULATION TO GET INTO THE EYES, NOSTRILS OR THE CORNERS OF THE MOUTH. 3. Leave the masque on for 45 minutes. 4. Soften the masque by applying a hot, moist towel. 5. Remove the masque by working a mix of warm water and deep pore cleanser or rinsing milk into the skin using circular strokes. You may massage with water to further soften and remove with a wet face cloth. Repeat until the masque is completely removed. 9 6 4 8 3 7 2 1 5

Alkaline Wash Pigmentation > Strong removal process for pigmentation. NOTE: This protocol may only be used after training and must always be followed by the Alkaline Wash Neutralising >. 1.

Avoid broken skin. 3. Let the formulation sit on the skin for around 3 minutes, giving the formulation time to change the skin s ph and swell the tissue. 4. Don t move it around as this may cause scabbing, but keep it moist by lightly spritzing the formulation with water. Be careful not to allow alkaline wash to run. 5. Gently remove alkaline wash with a small damp towel. 6. After removal, check the skin s colour and texture. It should look shiny. If it still looks dull, repeat the process. If it looks pink or inflamed, stop immediately. 7. Apply Alkaline Wash Neutralising >. Transdermal Finishing > The nutrition process increases vital nutrients and moisture at a cellular level. 1. Apply drops melanoplex drops and/or pore reduction drops. 2. Apply serums direct delivery vitamin c serum and/or beta gel. 3. Apply oils herbal pigment oil and/or seba-e. 4. Spritz with herb & mineral mist. 5. Choose the appropriate finishing crème on the basis of your knowledge about skin. Some options include acu crème plus, crème citrique plus, pro amino crème plus, biogen c crème plus and contraderm crème. 6. Spritz with herb & mineral mist. 7. Infuse with a hot towel or cling wrap. (NOTE: Do NOT infuse when performing treatments using alkaline wash). 8. Lock in the nutrition with hydrophilic crème and/or solar damage gel. 9. Finish with transdermal sunblock. Alkaline Wash Neutralising > Neutralizes alkaline wash and rapidly reduces redness and inflammation. 1. Apply a film of exoderma to the area. 2. Leave for 5 to 10 minutes. 3. Apply ice over the top of the exoderma in a circular motion using a tissue to soak up water run-off. This will help to rapidly reduce redness and inflammation caused by alkaline wash. 4. Gently remove the exoderma with a cool, damp cloth. Mètier Low Level Laser > Alleviates inflammation. Use the Mètier Low Level Laser on any red or reactive areas. This will help alleviate inflammation and increase the rate of healing within the skin. Use the Mètier in one minute intervals and apply this every two square centimetres. 6
