Start your 2024 with a Skin Screening

Most likely, you’ve probably started off the New Year with a long to-do list. Whether that included a list of skincare resolutions or you simply wanted to focus more time on your overall health, a strong to-do list can help you get on the right track toward a happier, healthier life.

As you organize your calendar this year, we encourage you to take a moment to pencil in a check-in with your dermatologist — and here’s why:

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is statistically one of the most common forms of cancer in the world. Chances are, you or someone you know, has dealt with some form of skin cancer at some point in your life.

Fortunately, skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer and is highly treatable. The key is early detection.

According to consensus dermatology studies, the average survival rate for individuals whose melanoma is detected and treated before it spreads to the lymph nodes is 98 percent. 98 percent! That’s an extremely comforting statistic.

The only issue is that a lot of times, individuals don’t take the time to schedule an annual skin cancer screening or they simply aren’t aware of what to look for.

Things to do for your Skin

One of the best things you can do for your skin — and yourself — is to schedule regular, annual skin cancer screenings. 

At the very least, you should be keeping an eye out for any skin abnormalities that may appear on your body. Keep your ABCDE’s in mind and if you have any questions about a particular skin abnormality, consult with our dermatologist immediately.

The sooner you can detect and treat skin cancer, the better.

We at Shinagawa Aesthetics encourage you to schedule an appointment with one of our board-certified dermatologists today. After all, it could end up saving your life.
