Dermatology Specialists of Florida, located at 2053 Fountain Professional Court, is your local hub for expert skin care, with a team of skilled providers ready to help you navigate the season’s specific challenges.
“Summer in Florida is an amazing time, but it’s also when we see a lot of patients dealing with conditions exacerbated by the heat and sun,” says Dr. John Phillips, a board-certified dermatologist with decades of experience helping Floridians protect their skin. “From sunburns and heat rash to acne flare-ups and fungal infections, a proactive approach is key to keeping your skin healthy.”
One of the most pressing concerns in our sun-drenched state is, of course, skin cancer. Regular screenings are a crucial part of a comprehensive skin health plan, especially for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. Dr. Phillips emphasizes the importance of these annual checks, which allow for the early detection and treatment of potential issues. “Early detection can be a lifesaver,” he states.
But a healthy summer glow isn’t just about what you can see. It’s also about feeling confident in your own skin. As the summer months bring more social events and photo opportunities, many people turn to cosmetic dermatology to refresh and rejuvenate their appearance. Dr. Phillips and Lauren Hagen, PA-C, offer a range of advanced cosmetic treatments to help you look your best.
“Many people think of treatments like Botox® and laser resurfacing as something to do in the cooler months, but with the right aftercare, they can be great options for summer,” says Lauren Hagen, PA-C. A native of the Pensacola area, Lauren understands the local climate and its effect on the community. “Botox® can not only smooth out existing wrinkles but also help prevent new ones from forming, especially those caused by squinting in the bright Florida sun. And certain lasers can be used to treat sun damage, redness, and fine lines, leaving your skin with a more even tone and texture.”
PA Hagen, who is passionate about helping patients achieve total wellness through healthy skin, believes that cosmetic procedures are an extension of overall skin health. “Whether it’s creating a customized skincare routine or addressing cosmetic concerns, seeing the positive impact on a patient’s self-esteem is incredibly rewarding,” she says.
