UV Safety Month – Protect Your Skin this July

Everyone waits all year for summertime in Chicago! We hope all of our patients enjoy the warmer weather safely with these four tips to protect your skin this July, which is UV Safety Month: For your skin, ALWAYS wear a sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher on any exposed skin, reapplying every 2 hours. If you’re swimming or sweating, use a waterproof sunscreen. Limit peak sun exposure from 10:00 AM-2:00 PM if possible or seek shade when out during those times. This is when the sun's UV rays are the highest! You can also wear UPF clothing such as MOTT50 or COOLIBAR. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and indicates what fraction of the sun’s ultraviolet rays can penetrate fabric. A shirt with a UPF of 50, allows just 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation to reach the skin. This helps reduce the amount of exposed skin and less sunblock coverage needed where the UPF clothing covers. Sunglasses with UV protection and wide-brimmed hats are also recommended to fully protect yourself from harmful UV rays. Read more tips from Dr. Omer Ibrahim’s interview with the AAD of what to wear to protect your skin from the sun! Don’t forget to also schedule your annual full body skin exam with a CCSD provider and also perform regular skin self-exams while looking out for the ABCDEs of skin cancer. When detected early, skin cancer can be highly treatable! Call or text our office at 312-245-9965 opt. 2 to schedule a full body skin check and stock up on your summer stash of sunscreen on our skincare website chicagoskinscience.com! (Don’t forget you’ll receive a complimentary beach tote with a purchase of 3 EltaMD products purchased in July while supplies last!)

June is Acne Awareness Month

As a Dermatology office, our providers and staff are committed to helping patients treat one of the most common skin conditions, acne. It can affect people of any age, gender or skin color. Unfortunately, there isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ treatment for acne, but your CCSD Board-Certified Dermatologist or Certified Physician Assistant can help guide you through all the options available. If you’ve been putting off treating your acne, then June is the month for you! June Specials for Acne Awareness Month For those of you who currently have active acne, you can SAVE $25 when you add a treatment mask to a DiamondGlow microdermabrasion. Our Licensed Estheticians will be able to customize the DiamondGlow serums and physician-grade treatment masks to fit your skin needs. We’re also highlighting this month for acne patients our BBL Hero. This non-invasive IPL device is a cutting-edge acne treatment that uses the power of BBL to comfortably and effectively clear acne without creams or medicine in just four treatments. BBL Hero uses a combination of blue, yellow, and infra-red light to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote the body’s natural healing process. Purchase a package of 4 BBL Hero acne treatments in June and receive a complimentary travel size EltaMD UV Clear SPF46. We are also adding VERY soon to our acne fighting armamentarium AviClear, the first and only device that selectively targets and suppresses the sebaceous glands, eliminating acne at the source without the need for prescription medications. In just three 30 minute treatments, patients can expect lasting acne reduction regardless of skin type or cause of breakout (even hormonal acne!) with no significant side effects. Stay tuned for more updates about this exciting new treatment! Call our office at 312-245-9965 option 2 or book online to schedule your acne appointment with a CCSD Provider!

Thank you to the friendly staff at CCSD for always making my visits pleasant and efficient! An even bigger thank you to Dr. Jacob for the phenomenal job she did all but erasing a scar on my face from skin cancer, and the amazing job she always does defying Mother Nature keeping my face looking young and alert!

Dr. Ibrahim is AMAZING. He has such a wonderful “bed side manner” and his experience is multifaceted. I go to him for both regular skin concerns and cosmetic reasons and he has been able to help with every issue I have! He is by far the best dermatologist I have been to and I recommend him 100%!

— Maddy
