FAQs

How much do skin treatments cost?

Every treatment is individually tailored to support your skin and address your current concerns and condition. Your skin will tell a different story every time we see it so we make sure to perform a skin diagnostic each studio visit to ensure we are choosing the most beneficial treatment option for you on the day. 

Our revision based skin treatments can range from $250-$550

Our relaxation based skin treatments can range from $70-$270

 

 

When will I see results?

Unfortunately there is no definitive answer. Every individual skin type and condition responds differently and requires a customised and evolutionary approach. The outcome can also vary depending on individual circumstances and level of commitment.

What can I expect after my treatment?

Every individual will respond differently to each treatment but our skin specialist will take you through each possible outcome.

The following are completely normal responses to the introduction of active ingredients and treatments designed to clean, repair and rebuild your skin.

• Redness
• Breakouts or purging of the skin
• Flakiness
• Dryness
• Tingling
• Sensitivity
• Other side effects may include an overall glow and general feeling of wellness, if symptoms persist - you're welcome :) 

Do I have to use your products?

We are more about the service then the sales and hate the hard sell but the results when treatments are combined with homecare is undeniable. Skin health and real, long lasting results are achieved through a partnership with yourself and your skin revision specialist. We believe that your results are achieved by 80% hard work put in at home using high quality skincare products and 20% hard work put in at the studio using high quality skin treatments performed by educated professionals.

We are not ones to align ourselves with just any brand. We have spent copious amounts of time researching a brand that will align with us and achieve real long lasting results for you. The DMK concept, coveted ingredient profile and holistic approach to skin health is why it is part of our curated and much loved collection. Products are available via prescription in studio,  unfortunately meaning they are not available for online purchase. 

What is Healite LED light therapy?

LED is a wavelength of light (made of photons: balls of energy) that is absorbed into the cells to regenerate and rebuild in order to reverse the signs of aging, promote collagen and elastin formation, improve mood and increase overall skin health.

What is DMK Enzyme Therapy?

DMK Enzyme Therapy is the only one of its kind in the world. Designed to rebuild your skin from the inside out utilising the body’s own natural processes. The masque tightens as it dries, compressing the skin to strengthen and tighten underlying tissue. The mask's compressing action works to dilate your skins capillaries in order to feed fresh, nutrient rich blood to your cells whilst simultaneously back-flushing to clean out all toxins through the lymphatic system. This means happy, healthy, functioning cells resulting in fresh, healthy, youthful glowing skin on the surface. (This treatment is only available at our Canberra studio)

Do the Lab's skin treatments involve downtime?

DMK Enzyme Therapy and Healite LED light therapy treatments require zero downtime. Far from abrasive, ablative treatments, Enzyme and LED therapies are all about rebuilding and healing the skin.

Once your skin has begun to function optimally and is strong enough, a higher level of removal may be introduced including advanced exfoliations or skin needling. These treatments include a small amount of downtime from 3-5 days and will be explained in depth by your skin revision specialist. 

Can I receive a treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Yes of course! Our treatments are 100% safe for any pregnant or breastfeeding women. The only things we would avoid during this period are Salicylic acid and Vitamin A (retinol) based products.

How long should I book in before my wedding?

ASAP! Depending on your skin goals we would recommend coming in at least 12 months before the big day or as soon as you can. Head to our blog page for a full description on our wedding packages from 12months prior to your big day, 6 months, or 1 month out!

Do you have afterpay?

Yes we do! We understand the financial commitment can be tough. We have introduced Afterpay exclusively for skin clients to enable everyone the opportunity to achieve their skin goals no matter their financial circumstances. #afterpayresponsibly
