The Importance of Skin Cancer Prevention
Understanding the Risk
Skin cancer affects millions, with non-melanoma types like BCC and SCC from UV exposure. Photodamaged skin—think wrinkles, spots—increases odds. Prevention means fixing damage before problems arise.
Lasers go beyond sunscreen, rejuvenating skin to delay or prevent lesions like AK, which can lead to cancer.
How Lasers Help Prevent Skin Cancer
Lasers target sun-damaged cells, promoting collagen and healthy growth. For photodamaged areas, full-field or fractional treatments clear at-risk cells.
The Treatment Process
The process: Evaluation, numbing, 15-60 minute session. Mild redness, quick return to routine. Physicians only, customized settings.
