🌸☀️ Hello, April! No Fooling—Protect Your Skin ☀️🌸

It may be April 1st, but this message is no April Fools’ joke! As the days get warmer and we spend more time outdoors, it’s the perfect reminder to protect our skin from harmful UV rays. Even when it’s cloudy, UV radiation can still cause damage—so make sun protection part of your daily routine.

🧴 Top Prevention & Detection Tips:

Sunscreen Habits:
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every day. Use about one ounce (a golf-ball size) 15 minutes before heading outside and reapply every two hours for continued protection.

🌳 Seek Shade:
Try to limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are strongest.

🕶️ Wear Protective Gear:
Shield your skin with wide-brimmed hats, UV-blocking sunglasses, and long-sleeved clothing when possible.

🚫 Avoid Tanning Beds:
Indoor tanning significantly increases the risk of melanoma and other skin cancers. Your skin will thank you for skipping it.

🔍 Monthly Self-Exams – The “Big See”:
Check your skin for anything new, changing, or unusual. Watch for moles that:
• Are asymmetrical
• Have irregular borders
• Change color
• Are larger than 6 mm
• Are evolving over time

👩‍⚕️ Annual Screenings:
Schedule a yearly full-body skin exam with a dermatologist for early detection and peace of mind.

🌼 April Reminder:
Spring sunshine may feel mild, but UV rays are already strong. Daily sunscreen use now helps prevent skin damage later.

Your skin protects you every day—return the favor by protecting it! 💙

On National Doctors’ Day, we proudly recognize fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons—highly specialized physicians dedicated to the precise treatment of skin cancer.

🔬 What Makes Mohs Surgeons Unique?
• Mohs surgeons are board-certified dermatologists who complete 1–2 additional years of fellowship training in both surgery and pathology
• They serve as both surgeon and pathologist, examining tissue in real time to ensure complete cancer removal while preserving healthy skin
• This advanced training allows for the highest cure rates and optimal cosmetic outcomes in skin cancer treatment

🎗 Why This Matters
Mohs surgery is a primary and highly effective treatment for many skin cancers. Because of its importance, fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons are often highlighted during Mohs Mondays and Skin Cancer Awareness initiatives.

📌 It’s important to distinguish fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons from general dermatologists who may perform similar procedures—advanced training makes a meaningful difference in outcomes.

Today, we proudly thank our very own Dr. Martin and all fellowship-trained Mohs surgeons, for their expertise, precision, and dedication to patient care.

Hello March ☘️

As daylight grows longer and temperatures rise in March, the risk of sun damage increases. Now is the perfect time to start—or refresh—your daily skin cancer prevention routine. The best protection combines smart sun habits, protective clothing, and regular skin checks.

☀️ Daily Sun Protection (March & Year-Round)
• Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) every day—even on cloudy or cool days
• Apply 15–30 minutes before sun exposure and cover all exposed skin
• Reapply every 2 hours, or after sweating, swimming, or towel-drying
• Don’t forget your lips—use lip balm with SPF 15+
• Check expiration dates: sunscreen is typically effective for up to 3 years

🌳 Smart Sun Habits
• Seek shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Follow the Shadow Rule: if your shadow is shorter than you, UV rays are strongest
• Avoid tanning beds—they significantly increase skin cancer risk
• Be aware of reflection from water, sand, and snow, which can intensify UV exposure

🧢 Protective Clothing & Accessories
• Wear long sleeves, pants, and wide-brimmed hats
• Use UV-blocking sunglasses to protect your eyes and surrounding skin
• Look for clothing with a UPF rating for added protection

🔍 Early Detection Matters
• Perform monthly head-to-toe skin self-exams
• Know the ABCDEs of Melanoma:
Asymmetry | Border irregularity | Color variation |
Diameter > 6mm | Evolving changes
• Schedule a yearly dermatology exam, especially if you have significant sun exposure or a family history of skin cancer

Your skin remembers every sunburn—protect it today for a healthier tomorrow!

Skin cancer is one of the most preventable cancers. Reduce your risk by:

Wearing sunscreen daily (SPF 30 or higher)
Avoiding peak sun exposure between 10:00 a.m.– 4:00 p.m.
Skipping tanning beds, which significantly increase melanoma risk

🌟 Employee Spotlight Alert! 🌟

Say hello to Cassie Adams-Leonard, our amazing Medical Assistant & Clinical Lead at The Skin Surgery Center!

Cassie has been with us for almost 3 years, but don’t let that fool you—she brings 25+ years of medical experience to the table, including 12 years in dermatology (which she stumbled into by chance and ended up loving!).

What does Cassie love most about her job? The sweet, kind patients she cares for every day and her incredible coworkers—she’ll be the first to tell you she couldn’t do what she does without them.

She’s especially great at calming nerves, offering reassurance, and striking up conversations about just about anything.

Off the clock, Cassie is all about crocheting, binge-watching TV, and cooking—basically mastering the cozy life.

Fun fact: when people find out Cassie works in dermatology, they almost immediately pull out their phone (or roll up a sleeve) and ask, “Should I be worried about this?”

What Cassie wants patients to know most is that she treats everyone the way she’d want her own parents treated—with kind words, genuine care, and a compassionate heart.

We’re so lucky to have you, Cassie!
