DMAE has been one of my quietly kept clinic secrets for nearly 12 years.
DMAE is a professional skin-supporting ingredient used in my clinic to help improve the appearance of firmness, tone and overall skin quality.
I'm not someone who jumps on every new ingredient or treatment trend. I look at what has longevity, what makes sense clinically and what I know can add value to a treatment.
DMAE is particularly suited to skin showing signs of ageing, including loss of firmness, laxity, fine lines and reduced tone or definition. It is ideal for clients seeking a firmer, smoother, more refined appearance, with the treatment tailored to the condition of the skin and individual treatment goals.
DMAE may not be suitable for very sensitive, compromised or actively inflamed skin, or for anyone with certain medical or skin conditions. Suitability is assessed during your consultation, and treatment can be adjusted to ensure it's appropriate for your skin.
I use it as part of selected treatment protocols, including with microneedling, or following treatments such as CO2 laser and photo rejuvenation, where appropriate.
It's a treatment I use when the goal is to give the skin a firmer, more toned and refined appearance, while complementing the collagen-stimulating effects of the treatment itself.
Product: DMAE.
I source my DMAE from Italy, where I have access to a high-purity professional formulation supplied in individual vials.
You can enjoy it as a stand-alone treatment whenever your skin needs a little lift, or choose to have a course of 3 to 4 treatments, spaced approximately four weeks apart.
This is one of my favourite lighter treatments for the most discerning clients, the perfect in-between when you want a little skin "glow up" without committing to a larger treatment.
And you don't need to worry about overdoing it. I won't let you. I keep a close eye on your skin, know when it needs more and, just as importantly, when it needs a little less.
Immediately afterwards, the skin can look pink or flushed for less than an hour.
The DMAE aqueous solution is worked over the skin using either the laser or skin needling, depending on the treatment I have selected for you.
You can absolutely return to work the same day.
There's no numbing required, which gives you a good indication of just how gently I approach the skin with this treatment.
DMAE is $199 per treatment, with enough product to beautifully treat both your face and neck.
Your appointment is much more than simply applying a product. I'll begin by assessing your skin, prepare it with a thorough cleanse, perform your personalised DMAE treatment and finish with LED to leave your skin feeling beautifully refreshed and cared for.
If I feel your skin would benefit from adding another modality, I'll talk you through it first and explain exactly why I think it would complement your treatment.
The one thing I want you to know before booking: DMAE is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. I assess your skin first and determine how, where and when it should be incorporated into your treatment plan. The best results come from using it as part of a considered protocol rather than treating it as a standalone quick fix.
Some clients notice their skin looks fresher, smoother and more toned after treatment, but the more meaningful improvement develops progressively. Results depend on your skin, the treatment protocol used and whether DMAE is incorporated as part of a broader treatment plan.
Results vary from person to person.
