What is Facial Muscle Banding?
03 Apr

If you’re searching for a non-invasive yet powerful way to tighten, lift, and firm your skin, DMK Muscle Banding may be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. At Little Foray in Thames Ditton, we offer this advanced, science-backed treatment – attracting clients from Molesey, Richmond, Walton-on-Thames, Esher, Claygate, Chessington, and Long Ditton who are seeking natural, long-term results. 

What Is DMK Muscle Banding? 

Muscle Banding is a specialised protocol within the DMK Enzyme Therapy system, designed to prevent the decline of skin function that leads to signs of ageing. This treatment works to strengthen facial muscles, firm the skin, and enhance circulation — without a single needle or scalpel in sight. 

The technique involves strategically layering DMK’s signature enzyme masques, which harden on the skin and stimulate internal processes. As the mask sets, it creates a “reverse facelift” effect, holding the facial muscles in place to improve firmness and definition over time. 

What Makes DMK Muscle Banding Different? 

Unlike traditional facials that relax the face, DMK Muscle Banding is like a workout for your skin and facial muscles. It stimulates over 40 facial muscles and supports skin integrity at a cellular level. The result? Skin that looks stronger, feels firmer, and behaves more youthfully. 

Rather than simply masking ageing, it addresses the underlying causes — such as weakened capillaries, reduced oxygenation, and loss of muscle tone. 

What Are the Benefits of a DMK Muscle Banding Facial? 

  • Natural lifting and firming of the face and neck 
  • Improved skin density and elasticity 
  • Strengthened facial muscles for long-term tone 
  • Reduction in sagging, fine lines, and puffiness 
  • Enhanced circulation and nutrient delivery to skin cells 
  • No downtime, needles, or invasive procedures 

Clients from Esher, Richmond, and Claygate and further afield across Surrey describe this as their go-to for ageing well, naturally. 

How Long Does A DMK Muscle Banding Treatment Take? 

Each session lasts around 120 minutes, depending on your skin goals. 

What Steps Are Involved? 

  1. In-depth consultation and skin analysis 
  1. Double cleanse and tailored exfoliation 
  1. Enzyme therapy using multiple DMK masques 
  1. Setting phase (45 minutes) for muscle banding effect 
  1. Finishing products and aftercare guidance 

What Products Are Used In A DMK Facial? 

We use pharmaceutical-grade, transdermal DMK formulations, including: 

  • Enzyme Masques #1, #2 and #3 for targeted lifting and oxygenation 
  • Customised exfoliants and pre-treatment solutions 
  • Finishing products (serums, sprays, SPFs) tailored to your skin 

What Results Can I Expect From DMK Muscle Banding Treatment? 

You’ll notice an instant post-treatment glow and tightening sensation, but the true results appear cumulatively. With a course of 6-12 sessions, clients typically see: 

  • Improved facial definition 
  • Smoother, plumper skin 
  • More even tone and texture 
  • A visible lifting effect that looks natural, not “done” 

How Soon Do Results Appear After DMK Muscle Banding? 

You may see immediate tightening, but progressive results develop over several sessions, especially when supported with DMK home care. 

How Often Should I Get A Muscle Banding Treatment? 

We recommend a course of fortnightly sessions, depending on your skin’s condition and goals. Maintenance treatments every 4–6 weeks help preserve results. 

What Skin Types Suit DMK Muscle Banding? 

Ideal for: 

  • Ageing or mature skin showing signs of sagging 
  • Skin with weakened structure due to sun damage 
  • Dehydrated, tired, or environmentally stressed skin 
  • Clients wanting to delay (or avoid) surgical options 

It’s also suitable for sensitive skin, as the formulations are customised and restorative. 

What Is the Cost Of A DMK Muscle Banding Treatment? 

At Little Foray, DMK Muscle Banding treatments start from £145, with multi-session packages available for best results. 

What Aftercare Is Recommended for Muscle Banding Treatements? 

To maximise your results: 

  • Use your recommended DMK home prescriptives daily 
  • Stay hydrated and protect skin with SPF 
  • Avoid intense workouts, heat, or steam rooms for 24 hours 
  • Skip retinols or active exfoliants for 48 hours post-treatment 

We’ll guide you through a personalised aftercare plan to keep your skin functioning optimally. 

Are There Any Side Effects? 

DMK Muscle Banding is generally well tolerated. Possible reactions include: 

  • Mild redness or warmth post-treatment 
  • Temporary tightness during masque setting 
  • Light flaking as the skin regenerates 

All signs your skin is responding positively and healing from within. 

Who Should Avoid DMK Muscle Banding? 

If you have: 

  • Open wounds, active cold sores, or recent facial surgery 
  • Severe skin conditions requiring medical care 

…we may postpone treatment until your skin is ready. We always carry out a thorough consultation beforehand. 

How Is A DMK Facial Different From Other Facials? 

While many facials treat symptoms superficially, DMK works with your skin, not against it. It’s about restoration, not relaxation — creating long-term skin health rather than short-lived results. 

How To Prepare For A DMK Muscle Banding Treatment 

  • Avoid active ingredients or peels for 2–3 days prior 
  • Arrive make-up free where possible 
  • Let us know about any recent changes to skincare or medication
