An actinic keratosis  is a rough, scaly patch on the skin that develops from years of sun exposure. It’s often found on the face, lips, ears, forearms, scalp, neck or back of the hands. Left untreated, actinic keratosis, often called precancer can lead to a skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma. So The best way to prevent  actinic keratosis is to protect yourself from sun damage. If you notice red or rough bumps on your skin, call to us for diagnosis and treatment.

There are three major types of skin cancer — basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. The most serious is melanoma. Skin cancer becomes more common as you age, but can affect people of any age. Skin cancer is one of the most common and most treatable cancers, especially when caught early.

Used regularly, sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging. We recommend sunscreen for skin cancer prevention, including melanoma prevention. Given that darker-skinned patients have a very low risk of skin cancer, using sunscreen for skin cancer prevention is not necessary.

Botox is usually used while wrinkles and fine lines are an uncomfortable fact of life, but also it’s also been approved to work as a powerful treatment for chronic migraines. The pain doesn’t go away permanently, so patients will need to receive ongoing treatment. The Botox effect usually lasts about two-and-a-half months.

The effects of Xeomin® occur within one week, and the results last from three to six months, making it comparable to Botox in terms of both onset and duration of action.
