Skin Cancer rates continue to climb – despite increased warnings. In the past few decades, the incidence of melanoma has risen 800 percent among women ages 18-39. Take measures to protect your skin daily, and perform regular skin checks to aid in early detection. Glamour magazine has published this self-check for seven years, and 84 readers were able to identify their own skin cancer or that of a loved one and sought treatment. We hope Rejuvent patients will do the same!
A small brown spot that’s symmetrical and all one shade and that hasn’t changed over the years is probably nothing to worry about.
AKA an “atypical mole”. This tends to be dark with irregular borders. It could become cancerous, so your doctor will remove it or keep a close eye on it.
This potentially cancerous spot usually occurs on sun-exposed areas (scalp, lips, hands) and tends to look like a raised, rough, or scaly patch.
Look for a reddish patch or wart-like bump that may crust or bleed. Get it checked out ASAP – left untreated, it may spread.
The most common type of skin cancer, BCC forms deep in the skin and looks like a raised pink growth or a sore that won’t heal.
This dangerous cancer has an irregular shape with blurred borders and tends to be dark brown or black in color, but it can also be multicolored.
Please visit your dermatologist if you are concerned about any skin lesions. Annual full-body skin exams by a dermatologist are recommended for adults.

Is men’s skin really different than women’s?
Yes, it is. Not only males have thicker skin (20 to 30% thicker), it’s oilier and has more collagen and elastin too!
If men’s skin is different, should the products they use be different too?
Yes and no. Some skin care products they do not need, some products have fragrances tailored for women, some products do not have the right (or enough) ingredients, but medical grade products are scientifically proven to work in both skins.
Because men’s skin is thicker does that mean they are more protected from the sun?
No, absolutely not. Men are at a higher risk of getting skin cancer, due to more sun exposure, not using sun protection and fewer visits to doctors. Full-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is a must and needs to be applied daily, independently of the weather!
Do men’s skin age the same way as women?
Not really. Having to shave daily might sound like a negative, but, in fact, this exfoliation of the outer skin layer, removes dead skin and leads to a more youthful appearance. The abundance of oil is also a plus as it traps moisture, which keeps the skin hydrated and plumper. Having more collagen in the skin, leads to fewer wrinkles and slower aging. But even with all these pluses, men’s skin still age and is vulnerable to skin cancer.
Do men really need skin care products?
Yes, absolutely! A proper skin care program protects and cares for the skin by its type and characteristics – not gender. The same product formulations that protect, reduce or prevent wrinkles, heal dry skin, reduce pore size, lessen dark spots, minimize oily shine, and eliminate acne work for both men and women. Other than products for shaving and grooming the must-have products for his medicine cabinet are Sun protection, facial cleanser, antioxidants, growth factors and peptides, retinol and moisturizers.
Should Men purchase skin care products marketed “For Men”?
Not really. Ingredients are key! Many product lines are marketed to men with masculine-looking packaging and more often than not those products are poorly formulated with ingredients that can hurt the skin or make skin-care concerns (red bumps, razor burn, breakouts, oily skin, dry skin, and so on) worse. Many products use problematic ingredients like menthol, peppermint, eucalyptus, camphor, citrus, or alcohol to create the “strong smell, strong man” and these ingredients are incredibly irritating to the skin. If men really want to look their best, it means taking a closer look at the formulas behind that rugged, masculine packaging. Rejuvent recommended for men products have a high concentration of ingredients that address skin issues and work in synergy to produce results.
What is the Rejuvent Regimen Recommended For Men?
Protecting the skin and correcting damage doesn’t have to be complicated. Rejuvent has created a simple, effective skincare program for men to provide both protection and correction to the skin. Contact Rejuvent today for a skin care program and analysis.
There is little evidence that chocolate causes acne, though a diet high in sugar and fat can increase sebum (oil) production in the skin, and promote inflammatory responses in the body – which can lead to acne. Additionally, overindulging in sugary foods may lead to decreased consumption of fruits and vegetables containing nutrients that are critical to your skin’s health.
Both milk and white chocolate varieties contain dairy and sugar, which can trigger hormonal changes and inflammation. It is well-documented that dark chocolate has many benefits to our health, including the skin. The high cocoa content of dark chocolate means high amounts of antioxidants that protect the body’s cells against free radicals. That’s why we encourage you to enjoy a piece of dark chocolate when checking out from your appointment!
If you need a fix, stick to dark chocolate over white or milk varieties.
Myth: Chocolate is bad for your skin.
FALSE!
Bottom Line: Chocolate alone won’t wreck your skin. The best thing you can do for your skin is to drink plenty of water and a skin care routine that corrects, prevents and protects the skin against sun damage and premature aging.
Yes! UV rays can pass through both windows and clouds.
You need to apply a broad-spectrum SPF sun protector to protect your skin against the UV damage. A minimum of SPF 30 is recommended, daily, whether is sunny or not!
This image should motivate you to wear SPF while in the car!
This man is 69 years old, but half of his face looks much, much older than that. He was a trucker and, for 28 years, his face received much more sunlight on the left side, resulting on premature aging. We all know that being exposed to the sun makes you age prematurely, but seeing the dramatic difference in a single face is just stunning. His condition is called unilateral dermatoheliosis, from the Greek dermis (skin) and helios (sun). It’s also called photoaging, and it results from chronic exposure to the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. In his case, it only affected the left side of his face because of his work. As he drove, he received more hours of sunlight through the left window of his vehicle.
What is available to remove double chins?
There are several treatments that promise submental fat reduction. Ultherapy for example, uses ultrasound technology to tighten skin. It treats the surface of the skin, can be very painful and requires several applications. Thermage is another treatment that uses radiofrequency, it treats the surface of the skin, also painful and requires several applications.
Kybella is a new drug recently approved by the FDA approved to melt fat in the jawline area. While this is very promising, there are a few things to consider: the new drug needs to be injected around 6 times, one month apart. It will not address laxity, meaning that the skin will hang looser and another procedure will be needed to correct that.
Rejuvent is very proud to now offer ThermiTight to our patients!
ThermiTight is a minimally invasive procedure that melts fat and tightens skin. Usually, one procedure is all it takes and the results improve over time.
Who can benefit from ThermiTight?
Patients with extra fat and/or sagging skin int he jawline and neck area.
What is ThermiRF Technology?
ThermiTight uses radio frequency energy to melt fat and cause tightening. This controlled thermal energy is delivered via a cannula (tiny probe) and a heat camera is used to show the physician the exact temperature of the area targeted. This prevents overheating and ensures that the whole area is treated.
What is the difference between Ultherapy and ThermiTight?
ThermiTight targets the area from inside. With ThermiTight, the physician sees the exact temperature of the skin and the areas treated, thus completely avoiding skin damage and unevenness. ThermiTight is a one-time procedure and painless; only minor discomfort has been reported. ThermiTight addresses skin laxity sagging skin). ThermiTigth patient satisfaction reported by RealSelf it at 95% vs. Ultherapy 62%.
What type of anesthesia is used?
A local anesthetic will be injected.
How long does it take?
The procedure takes between one and two hours.
Why is ThermiTight safe?
Yes. Two safety systems are used during the procedure: The cannula (probe) temperature is set below tissue damage threshold and automatically shuts off if the temperature is exceeded. The infrared heat camera is used to monitor the skin’s temperature in real time, ensuring complete safety. This camera also shows the physician the areas that he treated and the areas still to be treated.
How long does it take for my double chin to be gone?
Fat cells start dissolving immediately and skin tightening usually begins withing a week of treatment, but you might not notice it. For most patients, the “wow” factor comes at 3 months post procedure. Results will continue to improve over time and some patients have reported seeing new tightening even 18 months post-procedure.
Is ThermiTight painful?
Pain is relative and we can’t predict how you will feel, but the majority of patients do not report pain. After the procedure, some patients use Tylenol for the first couple of days.
What should I expect after the procedure?
Usually, patients wear a face bra (elastic dressing) for the first 24 hrs. Some swelling is expected, and you might have minor bruising that can be alleviated with Bromelain and Arnica.
