Now that temperatures are starting to cool down some, you may be spending less time at the beach or poolside. Have you noticed some brown or gray patches showing up on your skin?
Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder that causes discoloration on the skin and often worsens in the summer - and fall is the time we take notice. The most common areas for melasma to appear include the bridge of the nose, the forehead, and the cheeks.
Protecting your skin from the sun year-round can help to make melasma less noticeable. Chemical peels, microdermabrasion, dermabrasion, laser treatments, or light-based procedures can help, but melasma requires ongoing care and maintenance to be minimized. We can help!

Our skin is a big deal – literally. It’s the largest organ in the body and one of the most complicated. It has many roles in the maintenance of life and health! It protects the body against infection and injury, helps regulate body temperature, stores water and fat, and produces vitamin D. It has many jobs for keeping you healthy! Don’t let cancer get under your skin - be sure to have a skin check every year!

We've all heard someone say it, "Shaving will make your hair grow back thicker!" Don’t worry, this is not true!
The myth comes from how the hair feels when it grows back out. Shaving gives the hair a blunt tip, so when it grows back out it can feel a little coarser, but it doesn't actually get any thicker.
Unwanted hair can be annoying and a hassle to shave away every day. So if shaving is one of those things you'd just rather not do, laser hair removal might be a good option for you! Read more about it here: https://bit.ly/3tJXWOQ
