SPF & Sun Safety: 9 Myths Busted!
Let’s clear up some common sunscreen misconceptions so you can enjoy the sun safely and confidently!
Myth #1: All sunscreens work the same.
False. There are two main types:
Hybrid sunscreens combine both. No matter the type, choose broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect against UVA and UVB rays.
Myth #2: Any sunscreen will do.
False. Sunscreens come in creams, sprays, sticks, and powders — each with pros and cons. For example, sprays are quick but easy to miss spots with.
Dermatologist tip: Physical blockers are usually the most reliable and safest. Chemical sunscreens have raised health concerns because they act as endocrine disruptors and are harmful to ocean reefs. If you must wear a chemical sunscreen, choose avobenzone-based formulas without oxybenzone or octinoxate, and look for “reef-safe” or EWG-rated options. Always follow the label for how and when to reapply.
Myth #3: Sunscreen causes cancer.
False. Sunscreen does not cause cancer — but UV rays definitely can. While past recalls have involved contamination (not the ingredients), physical blockers may offer peace of mind since they don’t absorb into the skin. Chemical sunscreens are better than no sunscreen, especially in high UV environments.
Zinc oxide-based sunscreens are safest when trying to minimize systemic exposure and endocrine effects.
Patients who are pregnant, immunocompromised, recovering from hormone-sensitive cancers, or very young should lean toward mineral-only sunscreens.
Be sure to practice other sun-safe habits:
👕 Wear UPF clothing
👒 Wear wide-brimmed hats
🕶️ Wear UV-blocking sunglasses
🌳 Stay in the shade from 10 a.m.–4 p.m.
Myth #4: Dark skin doesn’t need sunscreen.
False. Melanin offers some protection, but not enough to prevent sunburn, skin cancer, or premature aging. Everyone — regardless of skin tone — needs sunscreen.
Myth #5: Waterproof sunscreen means no reapplying.
False. There’s no such thing as “waterproof” sunscreen. Water-resistant formulas still need reapplying after swimming or sweating — check your label to see how often you should be reapplying.
Myth #6: SPF 50 lasts longer.
False. No matter the SPF, reapply every two hours, or sooner if you’re swimming or sweating. Physical sunscreens can help remind you — if you see the white cast, it’s still working!
Myth #7: SPF in makeup is enough.
False. Makeup SPF usually isn’t strong enough. Aim for SPF 30+ and apply extra sunscreen underneath or over your makeup.
Myth #8: No need for sunscreen on cloudy days.
False. UV rays can still penetrate clouds — even on cool or overcast days. Daily sunscreen is always a must.
Myth #9: Sunscreen doesn’t expire.
False. Expired sunscreen won’t protect your skin. Store it as directed (avoid heat!) and check the expiration date before using.
Bottom Line: Sunscreen is a key part of sun safety — but it’s not the only one. Be smart, stay protected, and enjoy the sun responsibly!

While blood sugar is needed to help your brain function, too much or too little is known to cause harmful effects to our health, leading to diabetes or hypoglycemia. Moreover, studies are now showing that long-term blood sugar problems may have a significant impact on our mental and cognitive state, along with variability in blood sugar, which could lead to long-term memory loss. However, there are simple tools that we can use to help us avoid serious blood sugar issues, such as mitigating chronic stress, getting seven to eight hours of sleep, eating a fiber-rich diet, and more!

Studies show that incorporating daily movement throughout the day can produce plenty of physical, mental, and emotional anti-aging benefits. Remaining stagnant throughout the day is one of the largest contributors to premature aging, as it can slow your metabolism, weaken your muscles, and ultimately increase the risk of chronic diseases. Simply, when you get your blood pumping — no matter the intensity — you’re improving your blood flow to the brain, strengthening your joints and muscles, reducing stress, and even aiding your lymphatic system which plays a critical role in your immune system. To combat the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle, going for a walk, stretching, swimming, using the stairs instead of elevators, or even standing to make a phone call can make all the difference!

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is more common than you might think, affecting up to 30 million men in the U.S. It’s defined as difficulty getting or maintaining an erection firm enough for sex. While occasional issues are normal, persistent ED shouldn’t be ignored. Fortunately, effective treatments are available.
Book an Appointment Here
This March, we’re highlighting our Men’s Sexual Rejuvenation Program, a cutting-edge approach to treating ED that combines two powerful therapies: Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ECSWT) and PRP Injections.
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ECSWT)
ECSWT uses high-frequency sound waves to stimulate blood flow and promote tissue repair in the penis. Unlike temporary fixes, ECSWT targets the root cause by enhancing vascular health. Our advanced technology ensures safe and effective treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections
The P-Shot uses your body’s own healing power to rejuvenate penile tissue. Platelet-rich plasma, extracted from your own blood, is injected to stimulate cell growth, increase blood flow, and potentially improve erectile function.
Why Choose Our Program?
By combining ECSWT and platelet-rich plasma injections, our program provides a non-invasive, drug-free solution aimed at restoring natural erectile function. It’s designed for men seeking a long-term improvement in sexual performance and confidence.
Don’t let ED keep you down. Reclaim your vitality today! Contact us at 619-795-6700 or schedule a consultation here and learn more about how our Men’s Sexual Rejuvenation Program can help you.

Revitalize Your Performance with ECSW Therapy, PRP Injection, and AFFIRM Supplement
As men age, optimizing erectile function requires more than just maintaining good health and diet. One of the key factors is enhancing vascular blood flow to the corpora cavernosa and maximizing Nitric Oxide (NO) production. By the age of 50, a man’s endogenous NO production declines to about 50% of what it was at age 30. By age 70, it drops to just 25%. Think of it like a dimmer switch — at 25% light, basic tasks are possible, but optimal performance is out of reach.
Introducing AFFIRM – A Powerful NO Booster
Our Male Sexual Rejuvenation Package includes AFFIRM, a premium supplement designed to elevate NO levels and support erectile function. AFFIRM’s four potent ingredients are scientifically proven to enhance NO production and improve erectile performance:
AFFIRM’s efficacy is supported by studies showing improved SHIM scores by 5.2 points when combined with GAINSwave therapy. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to ensure a strong NO-boosting effect, catering to individual responses.
Quality You Can Trust
Tailored Supplement Plan for Maximum Results
Affordable and Effective
AFFIRM delivers exceptional value compared to other NO boosters on the market. Unlike Neo40, which costs $40 for 30 pills with just 420 mg of active ingredients per pill, AFFIRM provides 895 mg per tablet at a more reasonable price. We believe in making effective sexual wellness accessible to all our patients.
Ready to Reclaim Your Vitality?
Our Male Sexual Rejuvenation Package combines ECSW Therapy, PRP Injection, and AFFIRM to optimize erectile function and help you get back up! Don’t let age dim your performance – restore your confidence and vitality today!
