**Two other important factors: We do our surgeries HERE at our accredited surgery center and not at a hospital and patients who have had prior surgeries with us get a discount.
Sun Damage and Sunscreens
Melanoma has increased eight fold in women ages 18-39 from 1970 to 2009! A recent study in Japan showed that one application of sunscreen effectively covered only 60% of the intended area but a second application increased this to 90%.
Both types of rays from the sun, UVA and UVB can do damage to collagen fibers leading to premature aging of the skin AND can damage DNA contributing to skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and have the ability to pass through glass and clouds. SPF is an acronym for Sun Protection Factor which only rates the amount of UVB rays that reach the skin. Therefore it is important to use a “Broadspectrum” product for both UVB and UVA protection.
It is recommended that the SPF be a minimum of 15. This allows 1/15th of the sun’s UVB radiation to reach the skin. SPF 30 allows 1/30th of the rays and a 96% UVB protection. It is also recommended to apply sun protection 30 minutes before sun exposure to allow the chemicals to absorb into the skin. Reapplying the product every 2 hours is necessary because the formulas break down in the presence of sunlight within that time. Use about two tablespoons to cover face neck, chest, ears, and hands.
(Did You Know? Anti-oxidants like vitamin C serum when applied before your sunscreen help to prevent sun damage which can accelerate aging and wrinkles.)
All of the sun protection products at our office have both UVA and UVB formulations. We also sell a number of anti-oxidant, vitamin C serums. Call to make an appointment to see one of our skin care nurses who will clarify which product would be best for you. The skin care nurses are available Monday through Friday with some evening and Saturday hours.
LA DOLCE VITA, JOIE DE VIVRE:
Sangria, it’s a great time of the year to drink a low alcohol, fruity cocktail. Many recipes, here’s the one I used from the Food Network. Two parts burgundy wine (I used Gallo’s “Sangria”), one part roscato Italian wine, half part brandy, half part orange juice and a variety of fruit. Other things to try are orange liqueur, sparkling water, other fruit juices and rose/white wine. The important thing to do is make it in advance so the flavors blend.
SKIN CARE SPECIAL:
Package of three Micropeels are $235, normally $265. One per patient.
