Skin cancer treatment is not pretty and it can get pretty scary. Prevention is the key.

Both UV-B and UV-A rays damage the skin and can lead to skin cancer. Tanning salons use lamps that emit both UV-A and UV-B radiation.
While tanning beds are trending down as women get smarter, there are still those who think that skin cancer “won’t happen to me”. Don’t make that mistake.
Protecting your skin is pretty simple once you get in the mindset.
Note: We recently had a company rep from Johnson and Johnson visit our office who kindly left some samples of the Aveeno brand lotions (they all work well!) We won’t disclose age range, but just say she was at an age where we typically see considerable sun damage. HER skin was like milk…soft, smooth, clear and not a spec of pigmentation or roughness. Asked about her secret? “No sun and sun screen!” she said. When she comes back in, we’ll ask if we can take some photos.
When it comes to your skin and your health, it really is all about what’s best for you. Total Dermatology understands this, which is why we offer versatile treatments with experienced and highly trained aesthetic professionals led by Dr. Nissan Pilest. Your Total Dermatology transformation awaits.
