The short answer
DMK enzyme therapy is the signature professional treatment of DMK, the Los Angeles skincare company founded by Danné Montague-King. At UNIQUE PERSONA it is AED 950 at all three salons: Downtown, Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah.
Downtown books it for an hour and a half, Dubai Marina for one to two hours and Palm Jumeirah for two hours. Prices are before VAT, and 5% is added to the final bill.
What is DMK enzyme therapy?
DMK credits its founder, Danné Montague-King, with creating Enzyme Therapy in the 1970s. The company says it has worked in skin care for more than 50 years and in more than 30 countries.
The treatment is built around three professional masques, DMK Enzyme Masque #1, #2 and #3. DMK describes the treatment as tailored: the practitioner assesses the skin, combines DMK products to suit it, and finishes with the Enzyme Therapy masque.
What does DMK say the treatment does?
DMK says the Enzyme Masques signal the body to activate blood circulation, oxygenation and lymphatic drainage, and that the original masque sends oxygenating, tightening and exfoliating signals into the skin.
The company calls the treatment non-invasive, without harsh chemicals or procedures. Its site gives no figure for how long results last. It recommends home care between treatments to support the results.
Who is it for?
DMK groups its treatments under three headings on its own site: age management, pigment correction and compromised skin.
Because the treatment is tailored to the skin in front of the practitioner, tell the salon about any treatments and skincare products your skin has had recently when you book.

How does it compare with other facials on the menu?
The salons carry several face treatments that are booked separately from DMK. A deep cleansing facial is its own service, and so is a chemical peel.
