We were scrolling Instagram—like any self-respecting skincare pros do during our “coffee break”—when we came across this reel from DMK International. And wow. We instantly knew: this wasn’t just a reel; this was a rallying cry.

Why Feminine Health Matters to Medical + Spa Aesthetic Professionals
For decades, menopause was spoken about in hushed tones—if at all. Referred to simply as “the change,” it often carried a vague, almost mysterious connotation. We grew up hearing about hot flashes on sitcoms, where menopause was portrayed as a punchline or a dreaded life event. I can still remember episodes where characters treated it like the end of youth, the end of beauty, or even the end of relevance.
But things are changing.
Thanks to mainstream advocates—yes, even Oprah—the conversation around menopause and feminine health is shifting into the spotlight. We’re finally seeing more open, honest discussions about how hormonal transitions impact the entire body, not just fertility.
In a quick, powerful clip, DMK gave us a sneak peek into their latest episode of What Does Danné Say?—a masterclass on menopausal skin that reframes everything we thought we knew about aging.

As a Platinum Sponsor of L+A, DMK continues to educate, innovate, and elevate the skincare industry—and we’re here to spotlight this important conversation.
Menopause Isn’t Just Aging—It’s a Skin Shift
In the new YouTube episode, Danné Montague-King explains why menopause isn’t simply a skin “issue” to manage—it’s a functional condition that impacts collagen, hydration, pigmentation, and even acne. For too long, the esthetic industry has glossed over this stage of life. DMK? They’re digging in.
“We don’t anti-age. We pro-age—with purpose.” — Danné Montague-King
That’s a mic-drop moment we’re printing on a T-shirt. (Okay, not really—but maybe?)
From Enzyme Therapy to Empowerment
This episode—and the reel that started it all—shines a light on how DMK’s Enzyme Therapy, Muscle Banding, and homecare regimens give estheticians real tools to help menopausal clients feel confident and supported.
It’s all built on DMK’s signature approach:
Remove, Rebuild, Protect, Maintain®—a skin-intelligent strategy that honors the body’s natural processes instead of fighting them.
