TMD Medi-Spa is pleased to now offer the incredible Diamondskin oxygen facial.  This unique one-hour microdermabrasion facial uses a mist infused with 87 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and oxygen, to moisturize and revitalize every cell of the facial skin.  Because oxygen is introduced to the skin at the cellular level, it bonds to red blood cells, providing additional strength to the collagen and elastin fibers, which in turn will help to improve the elasticity of the skin.  Come check out this and the many other esthetic services at TMD Medi-Spa!

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive alternative to face lifts and even lasers and Botox. It works by removing the topmost layer of skin cells, known as the stratum corneum. This process, known as exfoliation, removes fine wrinkles, minor blemishes, and gives the skin a healthy, radiant glow. Over multiple treatments, even deeper discolorations are improved as the process of skin turnover is sped up.

Microdermabrasion is performed using a either crystals or a diamond-tipped tool. The traditional method involves crystals that are shot out through a cannula, similar to sandblasting. The suction portion of the cannula removes the used crystals and the skin debris. The disadvantage of this method is that not all the crystals are able to be removed by suction. Some of them fly into the air, into your hair, or may be inhaled. It’s a messy process. Somewhat newer is the crystal-free microdermabrasion technique. This uses a vibrating diamond microcrystal tip on a cannula that performs the same function as the aluminum crystals. It works just as well without the mess and potential for respiratory problems.

During the treatment, the skin is stripped not only of dead skin cells and debris but moisture as well. An important part of the treatment is to apply a moisturizer afterwards. Sun avoidance and sunblock are also important to help prevent hyperpigmentation. After the treatment there may be some facial redness or irritation. This usually doesn’t last more than a few hours but could occasionally last longer.

Generally, microdermabrasion is part of a skin care regimen that may include chemical peels, Botox and regular facials, as part of a treatment regimen that is customized to a particular person’s needs. It is a good way to maintain your skin’s youthful appearance and combat the effects of sun damage, environmental toxins and natural aging.

Los Angeles, CA – (11/13/06) - Forget about boob jobs and tummy tucks. The latest trend in health and beauty seems to be something completely different - laser tattoo removal. With improved technology and specialized clinics popping up, the number of people “erasing” their tattoos seems to be growing by the day.

It is estimated that up to 50% of people who get tattoos eventually want them removed; and with thousands of people getting tattooed every year, that means there are a lot of potential tattoo removal patients. Tattoo MD Laser Clinic in Los Angeles is one of those clinics that specialize in laser tattoo removal. Founded by Dr. Alex Kaplan, in April 2005, this clinic has a mission to meet the needs of people who want their ink gone for good.

Dr. Alex Kaplan and his laser tattoo removal clinic have garnered a lot of press lately. With articles about Tattoo MD Laser Clinic in the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Southern California Physician, and the Press Enterprise, among others, as well as Dr. Kaplan’s most recent mention in STAR magazine, there is no escaping that Dr. Kaplan and his Tattoo MD Laser Clinic are really going places.

Unlike most other places that do tattoo removal, Tattoo MD Laser Clinic uses 2 different lasers and the specially trained clinicians tailor treatment for each individual patient so that they receive the best results possible. Most tattoos take multiple treatments in order to be removed, and numbing cream is applied so that the process is virtually painless. In addition, patients are pleasantly surprised to discover that the cost is very reasonable.

In addition to providing laser tattoo removal, Tattoo MD Laser Clinic provides other cosmetic skin procedures, such as laser hair removal, Leg Vein Sclerotherapy, BOTOX and dermal fillers, such as Juvederm and Radiesse. Dr. Kaplan has also developed his own line of skin care products, “DK SkinSolutions,” which includes healing and aftercare products, anti-aging products and an anti-acne line. Products are available at his 2 clinics or on the web, www.dkskinsolutions.com.

Tattoo MD Laser Clinic is located in West Los Angeles, California. For more information about Tattoo MD Laser Clinic or Dr. Alex Kaplan, call (310) 312-1231 or visit tattoomdla.com.
