Everyone has stress at some point in their lives; some have it more than others. There are many causes of stress including financial struggles, working long hours, and the daily routines of life. It can negatively impact one’s body, including how your skin ages. We can tell how a person is feeling by looking at their face and by the same token see how well they are aging. Depending on how stressed out you are can determine how rapidly you show signs of aging. It is essential for everyone to have a relaxation plan and when it comes to skincare, there are several steps you can take to keep your skin looking fresh.
A mature person who properly takes care of their skin can noticeably reduce the signs of aging. So it is worth taking the time to develop a skin care regiment that could possibly knockoff a few years and help you look and feel younger. Getting regular facials help your skin look and feel refreshed. Moreover, it helps you recapture your youthful flair and vibrancy. Facials improve skin texture, tone, appearance, and more importantly they make you feel good. A facial peel is another procedure that can result in healthier skin. It removes the top layer of dermal tissue, allowing a new layer of skin with fewer age spots and wrinkles.
A procedure, commonly known as the “lunchtime peel”, is microdermabrasion.
This exfoliates and gently resurfaces the skin, giving way to clearer, smoother skin. In addition, it stimulates the growth of new skin cells, and improves skin texture. This procedure is done fairly quickly and can have a lasting effect on how you look and feel.
Relaxation plays an important part in stress management… obvious opposites. By taking care of your skin everyday, not only will you look and feel younger, it will help you take a break and recharge your busy life. We at DKM Skincare, do not like premature aging, and we are sure you agree that no one likes looking old. So, take a break, choose a facial that is right for you, leave stress behind and reeeeelax.
This is not a ghostly Halloween story, but it is definitely spooky enough to be life changing. Skin cancer is no joke! Here at DKM Skincare, we see many cases of skin cancer each year that can be quite scary. We cannot stress enough the importance of using sunscreen on a daily basis. Here is a video of a recent skin cancer removal procedure performed here at DKM Skincare. Watch and take care of your own skin. Use sun protection, visit our store, we have a great selection of sunscreens for you to choose from.
The patient was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma. SCC for short is a skin cancer that almost always stays on the skin and is caused by too much sun exposure or too many sun burns in a person’s lifetime. This diagnosis was obtained by a shave biopsy. This test identifies the type of skin cancer to determine the best course of treatment. Due to the nature and location of the skin cancer the best option was to perform an Electrodessication and Currettage. (ED&C) This involves injecting lidocaine into the site locally and then using instruments (curette and electrodessicator) to burn and scrape the top layer of the skin. Patients are instructed to keep the site moist and covered with a bandage until healed, normally in a couple of weeks.
The teenage years are some of the most memorable times of our lives. There is the challenge of obtaining a driver’s license, going on your first date, attending your high school prom and applying to colleges. While these years hold some unforgettable moments, they can also be very stressful and downright mean! So the last thing a teenager wants to worry about is the nightmare of having pimples, zits, or being called crater face! This is no-doubt a very nerve-racking time.
The majority of teenagers suffer from acne in one form or the other – from mild to severe. Not only can acne be embarrassing to teens, but it may also lead to deeper emotional problems. Teenagers may suffer from depression, anxiety, and a lack of self-confidence. During the adolescent years, bodies are changing and there is a roller coaster of emotions that comes with the territory. Hormonal changes are one of the most common culprits for causing acne – as we well know, it rages in every teenager.
Androgen, which is a sex hormone active during puberty, stimulates the secretion of the skin’s natural oil. When the oil secretion is mixed with bacteria, it clogs the follicle, which causes the oil and bacteria to get trapped inside the skin – this ultimately results in acne. Teens are especially vulnerable since their bodies are rapidly changing. Getting acne during this sensitive time in life can put a damper on many social situations. Self-confidence is extremely important to accomplishing your hopes and dreams. The last thing teens want to stand in their way is having acne.
Unfortunately, getting acne is often a part of growing up. Teens can take charge of their skincare early and help keep acne under control. There are good reasons for taking care of your skin at a young age. It is more than just outward appearances; it also affects your emotional health. DKM Skincare is all about promoting healthy skincare regimens and we welcome your questions or comments about any skincare condition including acne.

Cellulite is a big concern for women and men alike. There are a lot of stigmas surrounding cellulite and even more myths. So, what is cellulite? How do we treat cellulite?
What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is actually a very normal condition of the skin. It first starts to appear when a collection of fat pushes against the connective tissue beneath your skin and causes the surface of the skin to dimple and look lumpy. To check if you have cellulite, you can squeeze a portion of skin on your thighs, buttocks, or stomach. If there is any dimpling in the skin, you most likely have cellulite.
Several factors can determine whether a person will have cellulite in their lifetime and how much they will have. Your genes, your gender, the amount of body fat you have and the thickness of your skin are all linked with the how much cellulite you have – your age is also contributing factor. Overweight individuals are not the only ones that get cellulite, because trapped fat is more superficial, even people with a healthy lifestyle and are thin, have problems with cellulite as well.
How to Treat Cellulite?
The good news is that with a healthy diet, minimal exercise, and a body treatment called Endermologie, you can start to get rid of your cellulite. Dkm skincare offers a series of treatments that will shape your body, and smooth out your cellulite dimples! This innovative treatment is called Lipomassage by Endermologie. This treatment focuses on the superficial fat layers that cause cellulite, while also working with your lymphatic system to drain excess water weight, and toxins. When you complete a series of treatments, you should experience a smoother, more shapely body that has little to no cellulite. The best part is that the treatment does not hurt! The treatment usually lasts about 30 minutes and is a relaxing massage given by a professional esthetician with the innovative Lipomassage machine.
If you believe you have cellulite, or want to find out more about Lipomassage, please feel free to call DKM skincare at (305)557-0414 for your consultation or send us a message via our contact form. We are more than happy to answer any questions you may have, and are looking forward to speaking with you!
