Sunscreen = Anti- Wrinkle + Anti- Sun Spot
As we all know sunscreen should be worn 365 days of the year to prevent aging of the skin and cancer. The sun IS the most powerfull accelerant of skin aging. At this time of year extra protection is essential especially if you are over 40, use retinol or glycolic acid in your skincare, have had laser treatment or you have had skin cancer. During direct sun exposure use ample (a shot glass worth) amounts of sunscreen with a SPF of 50+ with UVA and UVB coverage. And don't forget to reapply. Sunglasses, hats, long cotton sleeves and staying out of the mid-day sun also help protect the skin.
The deeper the tan the more the skin is fighting to protect itself from sun damage. Something to think about if you experience tan envy!

Anti-Aging News
From Dr. Sweeney Anti-Aging news

Thank you to all of you who attended my seminar series Health is the Greatest Wealth this spring. I'd like to offer a very special thank you to Maria for all her ideas, humour and support. I plan to repeat this series in the fall as it was well received.This summer we are teaming up with The Haven Spa to offer 2 seminars: Stress Be Gone and The Truth About Detox. The spa staff will pamper you with their offerings.

It has been very encouraging for me to see so much interest in our wellness programs and this part of the practice has been growing steadily through word of mouth. When patients feel better they want to share that with those they care about. Daily we see people who are overwhelmed by their health concerns and at a complete loss for answers. Working together, we help patients take control of their well being, manage poor sleep and stress and improve vitality, mental function and energy. It is truely gratifying to see a patient's health and quality of life restored using the DESSERT framework and to witness the power of restoring hormone levels.
If you would like to find out more about the wellness programs we encourage you to call, it's the best way to explain how we can help you with your health.

Aesthetic News
This winter we spent time reviewing our skin care products. We wanted to ensure that what we are offering is not only efficacious but contains safe ingredients.
The skin is our largest organ and is permeable, what we put on our skin can be absorbed. Many skin care products contain harmful ingredients: irritants, carcinogens and ingredients that may be hormone disruptors. Surprisingly, we found that even some "all natural" products may contain these harmful substances.
We were very happy to conclude that all our skin products contain safe ingredients, including our sun screens. Not only that, they do not sacrifice effectiveness. We are getting very positive feed back from patients who are getting great results and compliments on the quality of their skin.
Please see the sunscreen feature article for the list of our products with sun protection which we all need at this time of year.


We look forward to seeing you soon!
Have a safe and happy summer 2008
Sincerely,

Maureen Sweeney
