To raise awareness of melanoma and other types of skin cancer, and to encourage early detection through self-exams, the American Academy of Dermatology designates the first Monday in May as Melanoma Monday (May 5, 2014) and May as Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

Your risk of getting skin cancer is real. Current estimates are that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology provides several ways to stay skin healthy:

Prevent. Never leave home without the proper sunscreen and enhance your sun protection with a wide-brim hat, sunglasses, shade and dietary supplements.

Detect. Look for new changing, itching or bleeding spots on your skin (see chart above).

Live. Schedule your annual skin exam with one of our dermatologists.

Help us spread the word about the risks of skin cancer on Melanoma Monday and all throughout May. Take the SPOT Skin Cancer Quiz and share it with your family and friends.

Here at the Lupo Center, we offer a variety of anti-aging and skin care treatments from injectables and lasers to chemical peels and facials. Our in-office treatments offer a great way to prevent or reverse the signs of aging, but in order to get optimal results from these treatments, patients need to care for their skin at home as well.

Overall skin rejuvenation is essential for everyone, and our doctors and trained staff can help select an individualized at-home skin care program. We understand that home life can sometime be hectic, but it’s important to have a few basic steps in an at-home skin care regimen.

Below is the GRASS skin care guide to maintaining the best skin possible. Because we want to help our patients “grow” healthy skin, this month we are giving away one step in the GRASS skin care regimen. When you purchase three of the five steps in the GRASS (Growth factors, Retinols, Antioxidants, Specialty products and Sun protection) skin care regimen, you can receive a complimentary NEOCUTIS RéACTIVE Anti-oxidant Serum ($70.00 value). Available through April 30, 2014, while supplies last.

An Exclusive Lupo Center PRE-ReJUVEnation Treatment

For more than 30 years, Dr. Lupo has pioneered the concept of combination therapies to help her patients achieve a natural, meaningful improvement in their appearance.  Her goal with the PRE-ReJUVEnation Treatment is to prevent or delay the signs of aging skin in patients who are 40 years of age or younger by combining the benefits of skin tightening and facial resurfacing. With early prevention, patients can eliminate the need for aggressive surgical procedures in later years.

Image

Prejuve Energy Facials are individualized and customized for each patients needs. The most popular Prejuve treatments is the combination of Exilis Elite’s skin tightening and Laser Genesis’ facial resurfacing for overall anti-aging and enhancement of the skin.

The Exilis Elite technology is a monopolar radiofrequency device that causes both shrinking of loose tissue immediately, as well as long term collagen production that lifts and tightens loose skin over time. It is beneficial on areas such as the jowls, neck and eyebrows.

Laser Genesis is a multi-purpose solution for skin health and appearance. The facial resurfacing treatment protects the epidermis, while stimulating collagen production in the dermis to improve pores and texture. It is also shown to fade red and brown spots. It is beneficial for acne and mild acne scars and discolorations.

Prejuve Energy Facials can treat any skin type and require no downtime. Dr. Lupo individualizes each treatment so patients achieve optimal results.
