Dr. 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)
But instead of creating a
skin care line that address only these hormonal skin symptoms, Dr. Kaplan took it one step further by using no less than 10 active ingredients per product, at their highest concentrations, to treat all 3 types of skin aging at once. Seeing his patients bring in bags of products and asking for his opinion on which ones they should use and in which order, Dr. Kaplan wanted to create a simple, easy to use, ‘balanced diet’ skincare line that delivered the benefits of a dozen products in just 1 application.
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.
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.
