Summer Skin
In the May 2008 issue of Image Magazine, a lengthy article by Cherri Straus details some of the hazards of UV exposure and ways to protect your appearance – and your health – from the damaging effects of the sun. There’s no doubt that spending time out in the sun has an extremely positive impact on your health and wellbeing. Fresh air, exercise, and the uplifting effect of a sunny day are necessary to all of our lives; however, if we don’t protect our skin, that fun-in-the-sun time can produce premature wrinkles, spotting, scaling and more frightening damage underneath the surface, such as cancer. Skin cancer is the most common kind of cancer in the United States.
What AMA has to say:
Skin cancer is not a matter to be taken lightly. Neither are negative effects on your appearance! Don’t fear, however. American Medical Aesthetics has a wide variety of products and procedures to both reverse and eliminate prior damage to your skin, as well as protecting you from future damage. We will arm you with all the tools and knowledge you need to go out and soak up as many of the life-giving rays as you want, without having to worry that you’re doing more harm than good to yourself.
Our unique, leading-edge laser treatments – such as the innovative, holistic SpectraLift™ as well as smaller, more targeted ‘spot treatments’ – are individually tailored to your unique skin, and its precise condition. Not only do they eliminate the appearance of this damage, but they actually neutralize damaged cells underneath, restoring your skin to a truly healthier condition and reducing the risk of cancerous cells forming.
We also carry a range of the highest quality, medical grade topical products to protect your skin while gently moisturizing and improving its overall tone and texture. Come in and talk to our experienced staff about what sunscreens will be best for your skin type and activities.
