Spa Vamps, Veins, VISIA…Oh My! Skin Medics is More Than a By Chad Ruiz

It’s the little things. The lavenderinfused scent, the wooden floors, even the décor lures customers into Metairie’s Skin Medics Aesthetic Medical & Laser Clinic. More importantly, it’s the staff, their expertise and their array of services which makes them more than your typical spa—much more.

“I owe Jenny my first born child for what she’s done for my skin!” one testimonial states on skinmedicsmedspa.com.

“Besides staying up to date on new, emerging procedures and techniques, I also want to expand what we do to have a comprehensive, one-stop facility where patients can get their needs met,” Edmond Wood, M.D, founder of the medical spa said.

Thanks to Dr. Wood’s medical training and his passion for science, Skin Medics offers several cuttingedge services. For instance, their VISIA skin analysis system scans your skin then provides a photographic map of its surface. It measures wrinkles, pores, texture, UV spots, brown spots, red areas and porphyrins. This data enables Dr. Wood to measure your response to treatment.

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is another sought-after, brand new service provided by Skin Medics. “I don’t have my own agenda. I listen to the patient and consider their symptoms before recommending any treatment,” Dr. Wood said. “If I had a male, for example, that came in and was complaining of lack of libido, weight gain and fatigue, instead of trying to prescribe Viagra, I would run labs and look to see if he’s suffering from low testosterone.”

Some of the services customers have enjoyed at the clinic over the last eight years include:

Skin Repair–Vampire facial, hydra facial, micro-needling, dermaplaning, acne facial, caviar facial, teen facial, back facial, spot treatment, injectable fillers such as Botox, Juvederm, Radiesse and Belotero, intense pulsed light (IPL) laser, fractional laser treatment, Ultherapy, several different chemical peels

Body Services–CoolScultping, Venus Legacy, vein therapy

Spa Services–Deep tissue massage, Swedish massage, warm stone massage, prenatal massage, laser hair removal, hair loss therapy, body wraps (mud, luma firm, salt/ sugar glow, mango/papaya yogurt), airbrush tan

“We get the highest compliments from patients regarding our staff,” Dr. Wood said. “They’re very attentive, kind, knowledgeable, hardworking and dedicated. Jenny and Kelly get rave reviews for their treatments. Jenny has worked with me for the past 10 years building the clinic to what it is today.”

Dr. Wood said some of his services most in demand today include Botox, fillers, vein therapy, fat reduction, cellulite treatment and laser tattoo removal.
