As of August, 31, 2009, we are switching to Mymedicalloan.com from Care Credit, to provide cosmetic and laser tattoo removal financing for our patients.   Mymedicalloan will provide the same level of service as CareCredit, if not better.  If you currently have a Care Credit balance, we urge you to consider using it at Tattoo MD prior to August 31.  You could buy store credit or charge up a gift card if you are not sure what you will want in the future.

Tattoo MD now has double-staffing on Saturdays.  With the addition of Sal to our staff on Saturdays, we have virtually double the Saturday availability that we used to have!   Sal is our highly-experienced physician assistant who is trained in laser tattoo removal, laser hair removal, IPL photofacials, Fraxel, Botox, Juvederm – everything we offer at Tattoo MD.  In the past, Saturdays would get booked up over a month in advance, but now we can extend the convenience of Saturday scheduling to many more patients!  If you were unable to get a Saturday appointment as soon as you wanted previously, please call us back at 310-312-1231 and you may be pleasantly surprised!

Tattoo MD and Dr. Alex Kaplan are proud to welcome Sal Matos, the latest addition to our staff.  Sal is a physician assistant with years of experience in dermatology and cosmetic medicine.  Sal is experienced in laser tattoo removal, laser hair removal, IPL Photofacials, Fraxel, Botox and Juvederm.  His bedside manner is highly professional and very comforting.  We are lucky to have such an excellent clinician on our team!  At this time, Sal has hours on Saturdays, but we hope that they will expand over time.

As part of our quest to provide the best-possible laser tattoo removal anywhere, we are upgrading our q-switched ruby laser, the Rubystar, to the Tattoostar.  Both lasers are made by Asclepion, but the Tattoostar is the next generation q-switched ruby laser that has a larger spot size with a more uniform distribution of energy.  This allows for more reliable and safer laser tattoo removal at higher energies.  As before, the Tattoostar ruby laser will be of extra benefit for green and blue tattoos, as well as tattoos that have become resistant to further fading with other lasers, such as the q-switched YAG. We expect to receive the laser directly from Germany at the end of July.

There are so many ways to save at Tattoo MD!  Each month we have a giveaway drawing for various services at Tattoo MD.  We have given away TMD dollars for laser tattoo removal, laser hair removal, Botox, body scrubs, facials, and more.  There is no obligation for entering, either!

Another way to get more for your dollar is to use your TMD loyalty cards to earn points towards products and services.  Use them every time you make a purchase, and you’ll accrue more and more value!

One other thing we do is party days.  On party days, which happen once every month or two, we have special surprise discounts on certain products and services.  We also have giveaways on things like Botox and Juvederm.  We don’t always announce this on the website – the news may come through only via the email newsletter.  So you should definitely subscribe to our newsletter to get in on these!

Fraxel is starting at Tattoo MD this May 19th!  Check out the Fraxel page for more information and pricing on this exciting procedure.  Fraxel is the laser procedure of choice for wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, scars, and melasma.

Non-ablative laser skin rejuvenation is the latest trend among celebrities and those in the know about cosmetic laser treatments.  Using quick facial laser treatments with the Nd:YAG laser, you can promote collagen growth, improved skin health and vitality and improve acne scars and wrinkles

Each treatment is fast, virtually painless, and without downtime.  Also, it is very affordable.   Check out the detailed information on the laser skin rejuvenation web page.

Please welcome the latest addition to the Tattoo MD team, Mark Ofuji, a licensed massage therapist.  Mark brings years of experience in massage therapy and personal training.  His skills include shiatsu, deep tissue, Swedish, sports massage, and reflexology.  Our massage menu with introductory prices is up on our massage page.  If you are interested in massage, please call to set up an appointment.

This has been long in coming, but therapeutic massage will soon be available at Tattoo MD.  This is another service that we think will enhance our menu of offering for skin care, beauty and relaxation.  Maybe a massage is a good way to unwind after a tattoo removal session?  Service will first be offered on a limited number of days per week.  Look for more information on our website in the coming weeks.
