Skin Cancer Prevention in Kansas

Skin cancer prevention starts with you. At Heartland Dermatology, we aim to educate our patients on how to prevent skin cancer, and maintain healthy, beautiful skin.

PREVENTION STARTS WITH YOU

As with any disease, prevention or early detection of skin cancer is the best medicine. We recommend that all our patients use sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher and practice sun protective behaviors on a daily basis. If you should have any areas of concern that you would like examined, please do not hesitate to call. Any patient may request a full skin examination and we are happy to evaluate any worrisome lesions at any time.

EltaMD sunscreens help prevent sunburn and decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun, when used with other sun protection measures. EltaMD sunscreens are formulated with transparent zinc oxide and are noncomedogenic, sensitivity-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free.

Why we trust EltaMD

EltaMD broad-spectrum sunscreens provide safe, broad-spectrum ultraviolet (UV) protection. A broad-spectrum sunscreen helps prevent sunburn and if used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun. Ultraviolet, or UV rays, are part of the invisible energy that comes from the sun. UVA (aging) rays account for 95% of our sun exposure. They cause skin aging and contribute to skin cancer. UVA rays penetrate deeply into the skin layers, damaging collagen and cells which leads to wrinkling, hyperpigmentation and loss of elasticity. UVB (burning) rays mostly affect the outer layer of the skin. They cause sunburns and tanning that increase the risk of skin cancer and other disorders. The risk for skin cancer doubles in people who have had five or more sunburns. Skin Cancer Foundation (Nov. 2010)

When wearing EltaMD sunscreens, the UVA and UVB rays reflect and scatter away from your skin, providing you protection from sunburn. EltaMD sunscreens help prevent sunburn and, if used as directed with other sun protection measures, decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun.
