How to Protect Your Skin and Lips While At the Beach

Friday, 30 June 2017 by admin
skin care Huntington, NY

skin care Huntington, NYIf you have a summer vacation planned to the beach, you likely have a few things you are guaranteed to pack including sunscreen, beach towels, an umbrella, and a swimsuit. And although the sun will give you that extra dose of vitamin D you were craving all winter long, it can also wreak havoc on your skin and cause sun damage. If you have either recently gotten a skin care treatment like a chemical peel or if you have just gotten lip injections, you will want to make sure you’re protected while at the beach. From wearing a lip balm to investing in a large brim hat, this article will give you a few suggestions. Read on to learn more.

Wear a Lip Balm

If you just got your lips done, you’ll want to ensure they don’t get sunburned or crack and dry out. To make sure they stay hydrated while you’re at the beach, invest in an organic lip balm that has sunscreen in it. Additionally, look for one that contains ingredients like coconut or almond oil– these will lock in the moisture.

Reapply Sunscreen

Did you know that you’re supposed to reapply sunscreen every two hours while you’re out in the sun? If you are spending a full day at the beach, that means you should be applying sunscreen around three to four times throughout the day. Sunscreen is your skin’s number one barrier against the sun. And if you recently got a chemical peel, , or any other skin care treatment, your skin may be extra susceptible to burning— so make sure that you don’t forget to reapply.

Invest In a Hat

For the sake of your skin, eyes, and lips, invest in a large brim hat to wear to the beach. In addition to sunscreen, a hat is an excellent way to shield your skin and lips from the sun’s harsh rays. Plus, it will make you look extra classy while laying out.

Protect your new lips and smooth skin this summer while wearing a lip balm, reapplying sunscreen, and investing in a hat. If you would like to learn more about how you can protect the skin you are in, contact Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants today and schedule an appointment!

Get in the Know: The Downlow on MOHS

Thursday, 15 June 2017 by admin
Mohs and Skin Cancer Huntington, NY

Mohs and Skin Cancer Huntington, NYLearning that you have any form of cancer is enough to give you a heart attack. However, as one of the most diagnosed, yet treatable forms of cancer, there are a few ways to get rid skin cancer. As the most effective way of getting rid of basal cell carcinoma, MOHS surgery is unique and gives our patients real results. So, what exactly is MOHS surgery and how is it performed? To help you better understand it, we have created a brief guide. Read on to learn more.

What Is MOHS Surgery?

Given its name by the man who developed this treatment, Dr. Frederick Mohs, MOHS Surgery has been around since the 1930’s. Described by many surgeons as an elegant procedure, MOHS uses a microscopic examination of excised tissues during surgery rather than after. The benefit of this is that it removes cancer cells while not harming as many normal cells in the process.

How Is It Performed?

MOHS surgery involves removing a thin layer of tissue one at a time. As each layer of tissue is removed, it is studied under a microscope to check for cancer cells. If cancer is detected in that layer of skin, the next layer will be removed and examined until a layer of skin is found that is cancer free. This unique and thorough process eliminates any guesswork and leaves you with more surety.

What Is Recovery Like?

Depending on the size of the area of your skin where surgery is being performed, recovery is fairly basic. You will be encouraged to wear a bandage over the skin for about 24 hours while the skin heals. You can expect to experience a slight amount of pain, inflammation, and redness but that should subside after about a week or so.

MOHS is a safe, fast, and effective way to get rid of your basal cell carcinoma or even melanoma. If you have just been diagnosed with skin cancer and would like to learn more about this procedure, contact Associated Plastic Surgeons & Consultants today to schedule an appointment!
