The cooler months may be officially upon us, but sun safety should still be on your mind. Contrary to popular belief, your skin needs protection from the dangers of the sun all year round, not just during summer, which means there’s no wrong time to introduce a sun safe skincare regime.

Accessorise with sun safety in mind
What you wear is another way to beat the heat and protect your skin from the sun. Covering up is a great defence, while UV protective clothing is also gaining popularity around the world. Whether your aim is to protect against the winter or summer sun, a hat, scarf or sunglasses can help shield your most sun sensitive parts.

Look to the long-term
Safeguarding your skin from the sun is a long term commitment that should be a serious part of your daily beauty routine. Build better habits like avoiding sunbeds, drinking more water, eating a balanced diet that’s rich in antioxidants and getting your skin checked regularly to put skin health first every time.

Apply the right product in the correct quantity
Correct use of sunscreen is another essential when protecting your skin from the sun. Go for a broad spectrum product that’s at least SPF 30 or higher, it’ll safeguard your skin against the rays that age (UVA) and burn (UVB). Many people use SPF moisturisers, especially in winter, to protect and hydrate at the same time.

Your sunscreen should be reapplied every couple of hours for the best results. It is recommended that you use an adequate amount to cover the face – this is about 1/3 of a teaspoon..

Remember, sunscreen isn’t just for holidays
The dangers of the sun are common knowledge, especially when it comes to those fine lines and wrinkles! Yes, sun damage causes premature ageing amongst other things, a fact that has seen the use of daily sunscreen explode in recent years.

If you’re not wearing sunscreen every day, why not? Applying SPF consistently is a must for your health and wellbeing. As well as preventing sunburn and reducing skin cancer risk, it protects the skin’s delicate protective barrier to strengthen defences from the inside out.

Skin cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancer types here in the UK, with the 100,000 new cases reported annually making it the 5th most common cancer. With recent reports that melanoma skin cancer cases in particular are at an all-time high, knowing more about your options post-diagnosis is important.
At SKINSCAR Clinic, we provide several treatments for skin cancer.
Melanoma
Melanoma is the most serious skin cancer, with its severity rated across four stages. With this, early detection and treatment is essential to stopping the spread and achieving a cancer-free result. Surgical removal is the first step, with additional surgery often required upon further analysis of the affected tissue. A margin of normal skin surrounding the melanoma is also removed as a precaution.
Prevent and detect with screening
Early detection is integral to successful treatment, whether you are concerned about Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC), Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) or melanoma. That’s why, alongside our skin cancer treatments, we also provide a skin check service, which can be used periodically to prevent and detect skin cancer and other issues.

With recent reports that melanoma skin cancer cases in particular are at an all-time high, knowing more about your options post-diagnosis is important.
At SKINSCAR Clinic, we provide several treatments for skin cancer.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC)
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) accounts for 75% of all skin cancer cases in the UK. This non-melanoma skin cancer is easy to treat in most cases and rarely spreads. As a result, it is not considered serious. It can however still cause damage if it is not treated early.
For people with BCC, surgical removal of the affected tissue provides the best results. The method of removal depends on the size and location of the BCC. We offer two types of surgical removal, namely surgical excision with pre-determined margins and Mohs surgery. Skin grafts and reconstruction may also be required as part of your BCC treatment.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)
With a higher risk of spreading to other parts of the body and deeper tissues, Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is considered more serious. SCC is diagnosed using an incisional or excision biopsy, which is typically completed under local anaesthetic.
Following diagnosis, treatment is generally delivered in the form of surgery, with the removal of the SCC and a margin of normal skin surrounding it, again under local anaesthetic. The incision is then closed with stitches, with some patients requiring additional skin grafts.

In this blog post, we introduce our two Cambridgeshire locations as well as the different types of treatments and services on offer.
The Day Clinic
Based just a stone’s throw away from Cambridge, Great Shelford is a charming village that is also home to The Day Clinic. It’s here you’ll find the SKINSCAR team, and the exciting range of treatments they are known and applauded for. This includes mole, cyst and lipoma removal, surgical treatments that are among our most popular services and provide dramatic results for the affected individual.

Why you might benefit from our scar improvement treatment in Cambridgeshire?
Scars can be a psychologically painful reminder of a previous incident, condition or accident. They can also make you feel self-conscious, with even scars able to be concealed with clothing or makeup resulting in lasting damage to your confidence. Thankfully, scars don’t have to be with you for life. Contrary to popular belief, there are several treatment options to explore, including topical remedies like gels and steroid injections; other non-surgical solutions such as laser treatment and cryotherapy; and surgical revision or refashioning.
Here at SKINSCAR Clinic, we’ve already supported countless individuals in their quest to remove or improve their scars, and we’re here to help you. But who exactly could benefit from the scar improvement treatments we deliver from our Cambridgeshire based clinic?

While often mentioned in the same breath as keloid scarring, hypertrophic scars don’t outgrow the size of the original wound. They can still be unsightly and cause cosmetic upset for the affected individual however. For people with hypertrophic scars, our scar improvement treatments provide hope and resolutions.
Treatments range from topical solutions to surgical excision and refashioning, and provide fantastic results. As with all our scar improvement services, treatments are based on a tailormade plan that suits the individual.
You’ve previously had chickenpox
Chickenpox is something of a rite of passage for children, and whether impacted by this contagious condition as a child, teen or adult, the risk of developing stubborn scars after infection is very real. Chickenpox scars can be improved just like any other scar type. Their dented appearance is able to be refashioned into a shorter, flatter, less visible scar in most cases.

You suffer from keloids
While their cause is not yet fully understood, keloids affect a small proportion of people, with those of African, Asian or Hispanic descent particularly impacted. Keloids disrupt the way scar tissue forms, affecting its colour and texture to cause irregular scarring that is thick, raised, and doesn’t flatten or fade over time.
Instead keloids cause the formation of excessive tissue presenting scarring that’s much bigger and more pronounced than the original wound. People who suffer from keloids, and have keloid scars as a result of these formations, are excellent candidates for our scar improvement treatments in Cambridgeshire.

Stages of squamous cell carcinoma
As the second most common type of skin cancer, cases of this non-melanoma cancer are particularly widespread in the UK. More than 155,000 people get diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer every year, and squamous cell carcinoma accounts for around 23% of these cases.
Generally caused by too much exposure to UV light, squamous cell carcinoma alters the very DNA of skin cells. While most patients with squamous cell carcinoma are deemed low risk, this type of cancer can spread to other areas of the body (including the lymph nodes) if treatment is delayed.
Identifying the level of spread and a suitable prognosis is vital for all squamous cell carcinoma sufferers. As with many types of cancer, there are numerous stages of squamous cell carcinoma. Here we introduce the final stage…
Stage 4
The most serious stage, stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma has spread to one or more parts of the body. This could be distant organs (such as the brain, liver and lungs) or other tissues.
The survival rate for squamous cell carcinoma remains extremely high, yet the spread during stage 4 means it is likely that you’ll need more intensive treatment. The use of surgery and radiation are common amongst stage 4 patients.
For further advice and support with squamous cell carcinoma staging and treatment, please contact us today.

Stage 2
Stage 2 squamous cell carcinoma also presents deeper growth into the skin, with the lower layers and the nerves generally affected. This makes the cancer higher risk. While the tumour has grown deeper, the spread remains localised and has not reached nearby lymph nodes, tissues or other body parts.
Stage 3
At this stage, the squamous cell carcinoma will have made its way into nearby lymph nodes. This is however as far as the spread goes, with organs and other parts of the body untouched by the disease.

Stage 0
As the earliest stage, stage 0 squamous cell carcinoma is of the least concern. At this stage, squamous cell carcinoma only affects the outermost level of the skin or epidermis, which makes the lesions particularly low risk. Stage 0 squamous cell carcinoma is often treated topically as a result.
Stage 1
Stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma penetrates the skin more deeply. While it has not spread to other parts of the body yet, the risk of spread increases as the size of the tumour and its growth into the dermis progresses.
