Skin Cancer Prevention in Laguna Hills, CA

Skin Cancer Prevention

Sun-soaked, not sun-damaged—let’s keep it that way.

Here in Laguna Hills, CA, sunshine is a lifestyle. And while we’re all for that golden glow, being exposed to the sun is the leading cause of skin cancer—including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. The great news? With the right strategies, most skin cancers are preventable, and we’re here to help you stay protected, glowing, and ahead of the game.

At Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology, our approach to skin cancer prevention goes far beyond drugstore sunscreen. We provide a comprehensive prevention plan tailored to your skin type, lifestyle, and risk factors. That means daily sun protection education, nutraceutical support, advanced skincare recommendations, and in some cases, photodynamic therapy (PDT)—an innovative treatment that helps target and remove precancerous sun damage before it becomes a problem.

Whether you’re outdoors all day, recovering from a previous skin cancer, or just starting to take sun protection seriously, we’re here to build a plan that fits into your life—and keeps your skin safe long-term.

Preventive Treatments

Photodynamic Therapy

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses a light-sensitive drug and specific light wavelengths to target and destroy abnormal or precancerous skin cells. This treatment effectively addresses conditions like actinic keratosis and certain types of skin cancer, with minimal impact on surrounding healthy tissue.

Nutraceuticals

Nutraceuticals are dietary supplements formulated with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that support skin health. These products help protect against UV damage, reduce oxidative stress, and promote overall skin resilience as part of a comprehensive skin cancer prevention plan.

Benefits of Skin Cancer Prevention

FAQ'S

We look at your skin type, medical history, sun exposure, and lifestyle to design a plan that might include:

  • Broad-spectrum SPF recommendations
  • Antioxidant-rich skincare products
  • Nutraceuticals that support skin immunity and repair
  • Regular skin exams
  • Photodynamic therapy (PDT) for patients with significant sun damage or precancerous lesions

Photodynamic therapy is a non-surgical procedure that uses a photosensitizing solution and a special light to target and destroy precancerous cells—especially those caused by long-term sun exposure (like actinic keratoses). It’s quick, effective, and helps prevent future skin cancers from forming. Bonus: it also improves skin texture and tone!

Certain nutraceuticals (think skin-supportive supplements) contain antioxidants like polypodium leucotomos, vitamin D, niacinamide, and green tea extract, which can help reduce inflammation, repair UV damage, and boost your skin’s natural defenses. We’ll guide you toward high-quality, evidence-backed options that complement your topical routine.

Sunscreen is essential—but it’s just the beginning. We also recommend:

  • Wearing UPF-rated clothing and wide-brimmed hats
  • Seeking shade, especially every 10 AM to 4 PM
  • Avoiding tanning beds
  • Reapplying sunscreen every 2 hours (yes, really)
  • Using tinted mineral SPF with iron oxides for visible light protection
  • We’ll help you build a routine that works whether you’re at the beach, running errands, or working indoors near windows.

Everyone can benefit, but especially those who:

  • Have a history of skin cancer or precancerous lesions
  • Spend a lot of time outdoors
  • Have fair skin, freckles, or a family history of skin cancer
  • Use immunosuppressive medications
  • Have a high mole count or frequent sunburns
  • Prevention isn’t just about risk—it’s about peace of mind.

Never. Whether you’re in your 20s or 70s, prevention can make a difference. You can’t undo past sun exposure, but you can stop future damage, reduce your risk, and even reverse early changes with the right care—including options like PDT and targeted skincare.

Let’s keep your skin radiant, resilient, and skin-cancer-free. Book your consultation at Regenerative Aesthetics and Dermatology in Laguna Hills, CA, and let’s build your custom prevention plan—complete with science, strategy, and SPF that actually feels good to wear.
