- Medical Weight LossAnother point of contention: not all cosmetic procedures should be restricted, only those performed by those who falsely claim their expertise. "I agree that I do not want those who are under 18 to seek out any type of elective cosmetic treatments or unnecessary weight loss programs, unless medically indicated, but if we block expert sites and accounts that will potentially provide them with information of how and why certain celebrities and influencers look the way they do, then our children will be led to the conclusion that these looks are natural and achievable," shares Harrison, NY dermatologist Jennifer S. Kitchin, MD. "We are in an age where many people believe that a quick internet search, a weekend course, and lots of Instagram followers makes them equivalent to a true expert," adds Dr. Kitchin. "The fact is that these folks are not experts."

- Skin CancerSkin cancer screenings, available with our board-certified dermatologists, are a vital part of keeping healthy. Skin cancers most commonly are caused by cumulative sun exposure over the course of our lives. Over 1 million new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year, including an estimated 120,000 cases of malignant melanoma, approximately 400,000 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and over 500,000 cases of basal cell carcinoma. Annual skin cancer screenings are a way to identify skin cancers in their earliest stages, thus allowing your dermatologist to implement treatment with the goal of a cure. Patients are also advised to watch their own skin regularly for any changes or symptoms. In addition, daily use of SPF 30 or greater is advised to prevent both skin cancer and photoaging, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, sagging, and brown spots.
