Dr.stuart kaplan was inspired to create the kaplanMD line because he could find no other product on the market to address his patients’ skin concerns. After years of conducting research to understand the causes of skin aging, skin care products and collaborating with scientists and endocrinologists in the United States and abroad, Dr. Kaplan has identified 3 distinct types of skin aging, which are caused by time, hormonal imbalances, and environmental damage.

Further, he concluded that hormonal imbalances, which studies now show begin in our late 20s and early 30s, cause 12 key skin symptoms. They are: accelerated formation of fine lines and wrinkles, adult acne, flushing/redness, loss of firmness, loss of elasticity, thinning, colorless or translucent skin, dry, dehydrated skin, uneven pigmentation, facial hair growth, photosensitivity (sensitive to sun exposure), and hypersensitivity (skin is more sensitive to irritation, allergies and bruising)

This is why all kaplanMD skincare solutions contain the microsphere time-release delivery system. Previously only available in prescription medications, the exclusive, patented microsphere technology delivers the kaplanMD Phytogenic Triactive Complex and other essential anti-aging and environmental protection ingredients deep within the skin. Utilizing the best ingredients for all 3 types of skin aging, at their highest concentrations, kaplanMD has incorporated the most sophisticated new delivery technology to ensure your skin receives the maximum benefit from each ingredient.

kapalanmd LIP 20 is the first complete, dermatologist-formulated Lip Treatment created to moisturize, contour, plump and contains 10 active ingredients to prevent all 3 types of skin aging treatment. Products that claim to plump lips actually use irritants to force the Lips to swell. These gimmicky products are an unnatural and unhealthy stimulant to one of the most delicate areas of our face. Many lip glosses and lip treatments also contain castor oil or petroleum jelly, which actually direct sunlight to your lips, causing them to chap, dry, and sunburn very easily.

All products in the kaplanMD | for transitioning skin collection contain the exclusive Phytogenic Triactive Complex of Soy, which firms and plumps skin, Grapeseed, a powerful antioxidant, and exotic Black Cohosh, to help correct the skin symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances. The Phytogenic Triactive Complex is the result of Dr. Kaplan’s research on phytoestrogens, or plant-derived substances, which have estrogen-like properties. Studies have shown that when women (and men) experience a drop in estrogen levels, phytoestrogens can mimic the positive effects of estrogen on the skin, without the side effects of synthetic estrogen.
