We’re proud to sponsor the 2026 Run the Quay charity race alongside the Fuquay-Varina Chamber of Commerce! 🇺🇸🏃☀️

Community events like these are a great reminder of the importance of movement, wellness, and coming together for a great cause. Whether you’re running the 5K, 10K, or cheering from the sidelines, we’re excited to be part of race day this year.

Be sure to stop by the Peak Skin Center booth! We’ll be handing out race day essentials, including sunscreen and chapstick, to help keep you protected and comfortable while you enjoy the event. 💙

And don’t forget—early morning races can still mean plenty of UV exposure, especially during long periods outdoors. A little sun protection can go a long way. ☀️

We can’t wait to see everyone on June 6! 👏

Real patients. Real experiences. Compassionate care every step of the way.

PORE MYTH BUSTER 👀

One of the biggest skincare misconceptions we hear?
“You can erase your pores.”

The truth is — pores are a completely normal part of your skin, and genetics play a major role in their size and appearance. No product or treatment can permanently remove them.

What can help:
✔️ Consistent skincare routines
✔️ Retinoids and exfoliating ingredients
✔️ Treatments that temporarily minimize their appearance
✔️ Keeping pores clear from excess oil and buildup

Healthy skin isn’t about having “invisible” pores — it’s about maintaining skin that functions well and feels healthy.

Don’t fall for products promising impossible results. Education and consistency will always matter more than trends 💙

MYTH BUSTER ☀️

“Sunscreen causes acne for everyone” — not exactly.

The truth is, the right sunscreen can actually help protect your skin without clogging pores. Texture and formulation matter, especially for acne-prone skin. Lightweight, non-comedogenic options are designed to provide sun protection while minimizing breakouts.

Daily SPF is still one of the most important steps in any skincare routine — even if you struggle with acne.

A few things to keep in mind:
✔️ Look for non-comedogenic formulas
✔️ Choose lightweight gels, fluids, or mineral options if heavier creams bother your skin
✔️ Reapply consistently when outdoors
✔️ Don’t skip sunscreen out of fear of breakouts — finding the right product makes a difference

Healthy skin starts with protection and consistency 💙

Breakouts aren’t caused by just one thing — and that’s why acne treatment is rarely one-size-fits-all.

Acne can develop from a combination of:
✔️ Excess oil production
✔️ Clogged pores
✔️ Inflammation
✔️ Bacteria on the skin

And while picking at breakouts may feel tempting, it can increase irritation and raise the risk of scarring over time.

The good news? Acne is treatable, and the right routine can make a huge difference. Consistency, gentle skincare, and targeted treatment plans are key.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in to Dr. Thomas Knackstedt’s conversation on debunking common skincare myths on What’s Up, Wake!

It’s been incredible to see so many people engaging with conversations about skin health, sun protection, aging, skincare routines, and separating facts from misinformation online.

At Peak Skin Center, we believe education is one of the most powerful tools in dermatology — because better information leads to healthier skin and better long-term outcomes.

We’re grateful for the support, the shares, the comments, and every single view. Thank you for being part of the conversation!

As the Wake County Senior Games come to a close, we’re proud to have supported such an inspiring event season 💙☀️

From swimming to shuffleboard and everything in between, staying active is one of the best things you can do for your overall health — and protecting your skin should always be part of the routine too.

UV exposure adds up over time, especially during outdoor activities, which is why simple sun protection habits matter year-round.

A few reminders as we head into summer:
✔️ Apply broad-spectrum SPF before outdoor activities
✔️ Reapply every 2 hours outdoors
✔️ Wear hats, sunglasses, or protective clothing when possible
✔️ Don’t forget commonly missed areas like the ears, scalp, and neck

Congratulations to all of this year’s participants, volunteers, and organizers for another wonderful season 👏

There’s no single “anti-aging” product that does it all — and honestly, there never was. 👀

Healthy, resilient skin is built through daily habits over time.

✨ What matters most:
✔️ Consistent sunscreen use
✔️ Quality sleep
✔️ Avoiding smoking
✔️ A simple skincare routine you can actually stick to
✔️ Treatments that support — not replace — healthy habits

The best anti-aging routine isn’t about chasing trends or buying more products. It’s about consistency.

Small choices every day can make a noticeable difference in how your skin looks and feels long-term.

Most people think sun exposure only matters at the beach… but dermatologists know it adds up everywhere. ☀️

Here are a few things we wish every patient knew about UV exposure 👇

✔️ UV rays contribute to premature aging, pigmentation, and skin cancer risk
✔️ Shade, hats, and protective clothing matter just as much as sunscreen
✔️ UVA rays can still reach your skin through windows
✔️ Daily protection makes a bigger difference than occasional SPF use

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s consistency.

Small habits today can help protect your skin for years to come.
