Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States.
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer. UV damage can also cause wrinkles and blotches or spots on your skin. The good news is that skin cancer can be prevented, and it can almost always be cured when it’s found and treated early.
Pacific Coast Cosmetic & Laser Medical Center, Inc. – Dr. James A. Heinrich, M.D., F.A.C.S. is proud to participate in Melanoma/Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month. During the month of May, join us in taking action to prevent skin cancer and reduce the risk of UV damage.
Take simple steps today to protect your skin:
- Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- Use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher. Put on sunscreen every 2 hours and after you swim or sweat.
- Cover up with long sleeves and a hat.
- Check your skin once a month for changes.
We are excited to introduce MISSION 4 SKIN CANCER – Knowledge • Prevention • Treatment • Cure. A comprehensive skin cancer center focusing on melanoma, squamous and basal cell cancers. Look for our website to be launching soon!
