Mohs Monday ✨ This patient underwent Mohs surgery followed by a bilobed flap repair, a specialized reconstructive technique often used on the nose to restore both function and appearance after skin cancer removal.

These photos show the repair and a follow-up after dermabrasion, a procedure that can help refine the scar and improve the final cosmetic outcome as healing progresses.

Every Mohs case is unique, but our goal remains the same: complete skin cancer removal with the best possible functional and cosmetic result.

Chemical or physical sunscreen, which one should you choose? ☀️

The good news: both can provide excellent sun protection when used correctly.

🔹 Chemical Sunscreens: Absorb UV rays and convert them into heat before they can damage the skin. These formulas tend to be lightweight, blend easily, and leave no white cast.

🔹 Physical (Mineral) Sunscreens: Use ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to help block and scatter UV rays. They're often recommended for sensitive skin and provide protection as soon as they're applied.

The best sunscreen isn't necessarily chemical or physical; it's the one you'll ACTUALLY wear every day! Need help finding the right SPF for your skin type and lifestyle? Ask our team at your next visit. 🧴✨

Your sunscreen is working hard—but it works even better with an antioxidant partner. ✨ Think of it as a skincare power couple: Vitamin C + SPF.

While SPF helps protect your skin from UV rays, antioxidants help defend against free radicals caused by sun exposure and environmental stressors. Together, they provide a stronger line of defense against visible signs of aging and sun damage.

Pro tip: Apply your Vitamin C in the morning, then follow with a broad-spectrum SPF for your best daytime protection. ☀️

Have you fallen for one of these skin cancer myths? Skin cancer myths are more common than you think, and believing them can delay diagnosis and treatment!

❌ “Mohs surgery is only for older people.”
❌ “If it’s flat, it can’t be skin cancer.”
❌ “A biopsy removes the whole thing so I don’t need surgery.”

The truth? Skin cancer can affect anyone, and it doesn’t always look the way people expect. Knowing the facts can help you protect your skin and catch concerns early.
If you notice a spot that’s new, changing, or won’t heal, it’s always worth getting checked. Early detection matters. 🩺

Think you covered every spot with SPF? 👀

You’re probably missing these commonly forgotten areas:
☀️ Ears
☀️ Eyelids
☀️ Scalp
☀️ Lips
☀️ Tops of feet
☀️ Hands

These areas get just as much sun exposure — and are often where we see sun damage and skin cancers develop over time.
Before you head outside, take an extra few seconds to protect the spots you may be overlooking. Your future skin will thank you! 🧴

Did you know? A tan is actually a sign of sun damage ☀️

That bronzed glow might look healthy, but it’s your skin’s response to UV exposure by producing more pigment to protect itself from harm. Over time, that damage can lead to premature aging, dark spots, and even skin cancer.

✨ No such thing as a “safe tan”
✨ Damage can happen even without a burn
✨ UV exposure adds up over time

Protect your skin daily:
🧴 Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+
🕶️ Seek shade during peak sun hours
👒 Cover up when you can
