Metro Dermatology - Flushing

Overview

Protecting your skin from UV damage is one of the most important steps you can take for your long-term health. Our patients often ask about sun protection, especially as we head into the summer season. Here are 9 sun-safe habits worth building into your routine: 🔹 Seek shade whenever you can 🔹 Avoid sunburn at all costs 🔹 Do not use tanning beds or intentionally tan 🔹 Wear protective clothing, including hats and sunglasses 🔹 Keep newborns and young infants out of direct sunlight 🔹  Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher 🔹 Apply approximately 1 ounce (a shot glass full) 🔹 Perform regular self-exams of your skin 🔹 Schedule routine skin exams with a board-certified dermatologist That last step is especially important. Many changes in the skin are not visible or noticeable early on. Regular skin checks help identify concerns before they become more serious. Whether you visit us for cosmetic care or a medical concern, we always encourage routine skin cancer screenings. At our Flushing practice, your care is led by board-certified dermatologists who specialize in both medical and cosmetic skin health.
