Don’t Fry Day 2021: Americans Reminded to Enjoy the Sun Safely this Summer

WASHINGTON, D.C. /ScoopCloud/ -- To encourage everyone to take small steps for sun safety the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention - and its national member coalition of over 40 organizations - has designated the Friday before Memorial Day as the 13th annual "Don't Fry Day" to encourage sun safety awareness and to remind everyone to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors. The theme of this year's campaign is "Small Steps to Sun Safety."

"After a year of COVID we're all eager to get out and enjoy the great outdoors. But, much as we've been working at protecting ourselves from the hidden virus, we also must protect ourselves from the hidden dangers of ultraviolet radiation," says Dr. Boris Lushniak, co-chair of the National Council for Skin Cancer Prevention and former Acting US Surgeon General. "Don't Fry Day should remind us all to be COVID-safe but also to be sun-safe, by applying sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and throwing on a wide-brimmed hat, while enjoying what the summer brings us."

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the nation, with almost 5.5 million cases diagnosed in Americans each year - more than breast, colon, lung and prostate cancers combined. In fact, 1 out of every 5 Americans will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer in their lifetime.

Skin cancer is highly preventable. Over 90% of all skin cancer is caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or indoor tanning devices.

Americans can dramatically reduce their risk of skin cancer by:

* Not burning or tanning intentionally - no tan is a safe tan

* Generously applying sunscreen (remembering to reapply every two hours)

* Wearing sun-protective clothing

* Seeking shade during peak times of the day

* Using extra caution near water, snow and sand

About Don't Fry Day:

"Don't Fry Day," now in its thirteenth year, is a public awareness campaign that aims to reduce the number of new skin cancer diagnoses by promoting sun safety and encouraging people to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors.

Siperstein Dermatology Group Reveals Revolutionary Moxi Laser

BOCA RATON, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- In an effort to help patients look and feel their best, Siperstein Dermatology Group reveals the revolutionary Moxi Laser this month. The Moxi Laser is the latest way to revitalize and refresh skin's appearance by improving tone and texture, providing patients with a gentle approach to radiant skin.

"We are so proud to be able to offer our family of patients with this state-of-the-art treatment," said Robyn Siperstein, founder of Siperstein Dermatology Group. "We know our patients are not only interested in pain-free and quick treatments, but also treatments that provide the best possible results with minimal lifestyle drawbacks. The Moxi laser is that solution."

The Moxi laser delivers fractionated laser energy to create micro-coagulation zones that the body then repairs, replacing damaged cells with fresh new ones. Moxi is designed to provide tonal and textural improvements to the face and body, and is a skin renewal option that is safe for all skin types. It is ideal for both patients who are just starting their skin care journey, looking for a light touch up, as well as those wanting something more but with minimal downtime.

Treatment comfortably delivers non-ablative laser energy to revitalize patients' skin to correct the initial signs of sun damage and aging, no matter the season or skin type. This year-round skin procedure affords patients with fast and easy treatment with little to no downtime, simple post care (stay out of the sun), and the option to wear makeup as soon as 24 hours after.

Most patients receive three to four corrective treatments, depending on his/her skin care goals, and then will often schedule regular maintenance treatments throughout the year. Best results are seen three to five days after treatment.

All patients who book Moxi laser treatment in May will receive an additional complimentary treatment on the hands or chest. Complimentary consultations are also offered to determine if patients are candidates for the treatment.

The Group has two state-of-the-art offices. The newest office is located at 1401 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton, Fla., and the other office is located at 9897 Hagen Ranch Road in Boynton Beach, Fla. Both offices are open Monday through Friday and select Saturdays. New and existing patients are invited to make an appointment by calling (561) 955-8885 or visiting https://www.sipderm.com.

Dr. Robyn Siperstein Gifts One Local Resident a Life-Changing Extreme Makeover

BOCA RATON, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Dr. Robyn Siperstein and the Siperstein Dermatology team provided one local woman with an Extreme Makeover as a way to celebrate their 10 Year Anniversary. The goal was to give back to the community that has supported the locally-owned Group for the past decade and provide one lucky winner with a life-changing makeover.

"It's an honor for me and my team to give back to our community members who have supported us from day one," said Dr. Robyn Siperstein, founder and owner of Siperstein Dermatology Group. "We are in this business to help our patients look and feel their best, and there is no greater reward than being able to transform someone's life and spirit just by doing what we do best: caring."

So when Theresa O'Leary entered the Extreme Makeover campaign and Dr. Siperstein heard her story, Dr. Siperstein knew she would be able to provide the help that O'Leary desperately deserved.

As a registered nurse who has worked in hospice care, O'Leary had a difficult past five years after moving to Florida. She suffered a domestic violence issue and has since divorced from her husband, finding herself alone and struggling.

"The last five years have been soul wrenching. I have never really done anything for myself. So when I came into the Boca office, I just got a good feeling in my heart and in my soul that these were good people," said O'Leary, tearfully. "When I heard that I won, I was over the top. I never thought anything good like this would happen to me. I appreciate Dr. Siperstein and the office."

Dr. Siperstein and the team provided free dermatology services, including Sciton Laser Resurfacing and Forever Young BBL (broad band light) also known as IPL (intense pulsed light) or a photofacial, which reverses the signs of sun damage and eliminates wrinkles. In addition, she received both Restylane and Juvederm cosmetic fillers to revolumize depleted areas and Botox to keep her wrinkles from returning. Treatment began on December 23, 2020 and took two months to complete, providing an end aesthetic with smooth contours that O'Leary and the team were ecstatic about when they recently revealed her before and after photos. Without any surgical treatment, O'Leary now looks and feels 20 years younger.

"It was the ultimate Christmas gift," said O'Leary, who said her final treatment day and seeing her results was the ultimate experience for her. "I just owe everything to them all for helping me like this. I'm most grateful."

In an effort to continue to honor O'Leary and her domestic violence journey, the Group will also donate 10% of net skincare sale profits from both of their offices during the month of April to Aid for Victims of Domestic Abuse (AVDA).

In addition to the Extreme Makeover, Dr. Siperstein and the team also gifted 10 runner-ups with hydra-dermabrasion facials.

The Group's new state-of-the-art office is located at 1401 N. Federal Highway in Boca Raton, Fla. and is open Monday through Friday and select Saturdays. Their other state-of-the-art office is located at 9897 Hagen Ranch Road in Boynton Beach, Fla. New and existing patients are invited to make an appointment by calling (561) 955-8885 or visiting https://www.sipderm.com.

Siperstein Dermatology Group Offers Only DermaGraphix Digital Mole Mapping and Artificial Intelligence Tracking Analysis in South Florida

BOCA RATON, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Siperstein Dermatology Group now provides the DermaGraphix digital mole mapping and artificial intelligence tracking analysis that allows for the earlier detection and treatment of melanoma, and with fewer biopsies. Siperstein Dermatology Group (Boca Raton and Boynton Beach Florida) has always been on the forefront of medical technology. The group prides themselves on always having the most up-to-date systems and new technology to help patients.

Siperstein Dermatology Group is the only private practice in Florida, and the entire Southeast United States, that is able to employ the DermaGraphix and artificial intelligence technology. DermaGraphix is the most innovative mole mapping system available and helps dermatologists to more easily spot new moles and track changes to patients' moles - one of the possible signs of melanoma.

"Melanoma, when found early, is curable. However, if detection is delayed, it can be fatal," said Robyn Siperstein, medical doctor and founder of Siperstein Dermatology Group. "Baseline mole mapping and AI analysis not only helps to detect melanoma much earlier, but has also been found in studies to reduce the number of biopsies needed."

DermaGraphix mole mapping and tracking analysis uses a high-resolution, professional, digital SLR camera, advanced software and whole body photography to map a patient's entire skin surface, creating a photographic baseline. Artificial intelligence is then utilized as a way to accurately identify any change in the size, color and shape of lesions, as well as document any new lesions.

In addition, this system has an attached dermatoscope, which allows dermatologists to visualize and photograph individual moles using magnification and polarized light to better detect subtle changes in these moles and patterns that could be consistent with melanomas.

"Mole mapping is used in most of the melanoma clinics in university hospitals and cancer centers," said Thomas Bialoglow of Canfield Scientific, the leading supplier of medical photographic equipment, software and computer systems for patient imaging in medicine and research. "The powerful DermaGraphix system, which is in use at [Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center], is now only available at a few private practices in the United States."

Patients can take advantage of the DermaGraphix digital mole mapping and artificial intelligence tracking analysis by calling (561) 364-7774 or visiting https://www.sipderm.com/ to make an appointment.
