Skin Care
Skin care technology at LA Plastic Surgery consists of non-invasive procedures that help to rejuvenate the skin. By balancing proper nutrient and water levels in the skin’s epidermis and dermis layer, skin care treatments will bring about more refreshed and youthful looking skin to patients suffering from the ill effects of aging and prolonged sun exposure. The clinic combines both traditional and more advanced regimens to provide the most effective and safest treatments.

MICRODERMABRASION
Microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation procedure that helps to resolve superficial skin concerns. Anti-aging benefits include the softening of fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing of acne scars and pore size and evening out of skin tone. Age spots and other sites of hyper-pigmentation can also be treated through microdermabrasion. Diamond-tipped applicators deliver a removal of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, which is subsequently vacuumed by a separate canister. Home microderm kits are too abrasive and may end up irritating the skin without providing the collagen regeneration properties of a clinic experience. Microdermabrasion can bring dramatic results with a single treatment, however subsequent sessions bring about a greater youthful appearance. With the ability to precisely control application settings, patients with sensitive skin are still perfect candidates for the treatment.
HYDRAFACIAL
The Hydrafacial is a leading exfoliation procedure that infuses more hydrating serums with treatment to minimize inflammation and increase comfort. Heavy exfoliation and extraction sessions often leave the skin with prolonged redness or increased sensitivity; Hydrafacials are able to provide the dramatic improvements without the collateral pain. Anti-aging benefits include the softening of fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing of acne scars and pore size and evening out of skin tone. Age spots and other sites of hyper-pigmentation can also be treated through the hydrafacial. Hydrafacial is especially an ideal procedure for patients with sensitive or dry skin.
MOISTURIZING
Many of us know the importance of cleansing our skin. Cleansing removes makeup, dead skin cells, and dirt that accumulates on our skin throughout the day, however not without a cost. The cleansing properties often leave the skin too dry and damage the moisturizing outermost barrier of the skin. Moisturizing helps to increase the skin’s water level and stimulate desquamation or shedding, to provide a smoother and brighter appearance. At Angel Plastic Surgery, moisturizing sessions are individualized by skin type and skin condition to effectively eliminate dryness and restore balance to the skin.

CALMING CARE
Many of us suffer from skin irritation, ranging from slight redness to even severe inflammation and pain. As the outermost layer of defense, your skin takes on a lot of damage from the environment on a day-to-day basis. Calming care helps to soothe and calm irritated skin, to improve skin appearance and comfort. Alongside basic calming properties, the treatment also helps to hydrate and firm the skin while restoring protection from UV rays and other harmful environmental irritants.
BRIGHTENING VITAL CARE
A skin brightening regimen commonly includes carefully removing the layer of dead skin through exfoliation and moisturizing appropriately. However when this is not properly maintained, an illuminating complexion can still be achieved through vitamin c treatments. Vitamin c naturally contains anti-aging and brightening qualities to eliminate dull skin and restore vitality without invasive procedure. Active agents in the vitamin c help to rejuvenate skin as well as lighten the appearance of freckles and other small sites of pigmentation. No matter how clear and even your skin tone is, dull skin can still make you look fatigued and old.
SGF/EGF INFUSION CARE
Growth factors are biologically active ingredients that have the potential to quickly rejuvenate the skin. One of the most important roles of growth factors include the regeneration of collagen, helping to repair the deeper dermal layers of the skin. Growth factors are excellent for diminishing scars, softening fine lines and wrinkles and tightening the skin. However these anti-aging properties are difficult to produce alone and cannot be found in everyday personal care products. At Angel Plastic Surgery, we administer epidermal and s-sarcoma growth factors through the Cryo or Ionzyme infusion machines, enhancing absorption and improving effectiveness.

STEM CELL THERAPY
A small sample of Adipose tissue (fat) is removed from above the Superior Iliac spine (love handles) or abdomen under a local anesthetic. Obtaining Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs) is much easier and less invasive than performing a bone marrow extraction
