Bend Dermatology

We’re halfway through the year, have you scheduled your Annual Skin Exam? It's crucial for early detection of skin cancer, the most common cancer in the U.S. A Dermatology Provider will check your skin from head to toe, ensuring any changes in moles or rashes are noted. Use this time to discuss any concerns with your Provider. Remember to care for your skin year-round with recommended products and daily sunscreen. For more information, visit https://ow.ly/ap2T50SFF3a.

📣 Team spotlight on Alexandra Becker, RN, one of our dedicated professionals at Bend Dermatology Clinic! You can find her at our East Bend Mohs & DermaSpa and West Bend locations. 🌟

Alexandra is sharing her top three must-have skin care products:
1. Gentle Cleanser: Vani Cream's Gentle Cleanser keeps her skin clean and fresh.
2. Moisturizer: A good moisturizer is essential for maintaining skin health.
3. Sunscreen: SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense is her go-to for that lightweight feel.

If stranded on a desert island? Alexandra says, “I’d definitely take with me!”

👩‍⚕️ Who has influenced Alexandra the most in her healthcare journey?
"I've been fortunate to meet many influential people along the way. My mom, also a nurse, has been a constant source of inspiration. Rebecca, a retired RN, graciously let me live with her during nursing school. OCCC’s nursing program director Linda provided incredible guidance. Lastly, my high school friend who passed away from cancer deeply impacted my perspective on patient care."

💡 Alexandra’s top tip for all her patients: "Practice good preventative skin care measures, like wearing sunscreen daily."

Thinking about how to enhance your appearance and address specific areas of concern? Dermal fillers could be the solution you've been looking for! At Bend DermaSpa, we specialize in using fillers to target various areas, helping you achieve natural-looking results and a more youthful appearance. Here are some common areas of concern that fillers can effectively address:

Nasolabial Folds: These are the lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. Fillers can soften these lines, restoring volume and smoothing out the area.

Marionette Lines: These lines extend from the corners of your mouth downward towards your chin. Fillers can help lift and minimize the appearance of marionette lines for a more uplifted look.

Cheeks: Enhancing cheek volume can create a youthful contour and lift to the face. Fillers can add subtle volume to the cheeks, restoring lost volume due to aging or genetics.

Under-Eye Hollows: Fillers can reduce the appearance of dark circles and hollows under the eyes, making you look more rested and refreshed.

Lips: Whether you desire fuller lips or want to redefine your lip borders, fillers can enhance lip volume and shape for a plumper, more defined pout.

Chin and Jawline: Fillers can help contour the chin and jawline, providing definition and balance to your facial profile.

Temples: Adding volume to hollowed temples can improve facial symmetry and restore a more youthful appearance.
Our experienced practitioners at Bend DermaSpa prioritize natural-looking results that enhance your features while maintaining facial harmony. During your personalized consultation, we'll discuss your concerns, and recommend the best filler options to achieve your aesthetic goals.

July is National UV Safety Month! 🌴🌞

As we soak up the sun, it's essential to remember the importance of protecting ourselves from harmful UV rays. Here are some quick tips to stay protected:

1. Wear : Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
2. Seek Shade: Avoid direct sunlight during peak hours (10 AM - 4 PM).
3. Wear Protective Clothing: Opt for long-sleeved shirts and pants with UPF protection, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses with UV protection.
4. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to stay cool and hydrated.

Protect your skin and eyes today for a healthier tomorrow. Let's enjoy the sun safely! 🧴👒🕶️☀️

☀️✨ Summer is here, and at Bend DermaSpa, we're all about keeping your skin healthy, glowing, and protected during these sunny days! Here are some essential summer skin care tips to keep your skin looking its best:

Sunscreen is Your Best Friend: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days. Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating.

Hydration, Inside and Out: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Also, use a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer to lock in moisture after sun exposure and showers.

Exfoliate Gently: Incorporate a gentle exfoliation routine into your skin care regimen to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This helps maintain a smooth and radiant complexion.

Cool Showers: Opt for lukewarm or cool showers instead of hot ones to prevent stripping your skin of essential oils, which can lead to dryness.

Protect Your Lips: Don't forget your lips! Use a lip balm with SPF to prevent them from becoming dry and chapped under the sun.

Sunglasses and Hats: Shield your face and eyes from the sun's rays by wearing wide-brimmed hats and UV-protective sunglasses.

Post-Sun Care: If you do get a bit too much sun, soothe your skin with aloe vera gel or a cooling moisturizer containing ingredients like cucumber or chamomile.

Stay Consistent: Consistency is key! Stick to your skin care routine and adjust products as needed to accommodate changes in humidity and sun exposure.

At Bend DermaSpa, we believe that healthy skin is beautiful skin. Incorporate these tips into your daily routine to enjoy a summer full of glowing skin and worry-free fun in the sun!

🌟 Meet Chloe Helikson, CAA, our Newest Certified Advanced Aesthetician! 🌟

Chloe brings a deep passion for skin care and a wealth of experience to our team. Get to know more about her journey and personal interests:

Q: What inspired you to become a Certified Advanced Aesthetician?

A: From the moment I experienced my first facial at the age of 12, I knew that becoming an Aesthetician was my true calling. My passion for the field has only grown stronger over the years. After working as a standard Aesthetician at a local day spa for a year, I realized that my calling extended beyond providing facials in a dark room for seven hours a day. Consequently, I enrolled in an advanced aesthetics program and moved to Eugene. Offering a variety of services to help patients achieve their skin goals brings me profound joy. The satisfaction I derive from helping patients attain their desired results is unparalleled, fulfilling me both personally and professionally.

Q: Are you a coffee or tea person?

A: I am a coffee gal through and through. Growing up reading was a real challenge for me because of my dyslexia. My mom, understanding my struggle, came up with a brilliant plan. She would take me to our favorite coffee house before and after school, where I’d read to her. My reward? A delicious coffee drink! This fun routine not only helped me improve my reading skills but also sparked my lifelong love affair with coffee.

Summer is here, and it's time to let your skin shine bright like the sun! Say hello to healthy, radiant skin all season long with these simple tips:

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Keep your skin hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Hydration is key to maintaining a glowing complexion and combating dryness and dullness.

Sunscreen is Your BFF: Don't leave home without applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days.

Exfoliate Regularly: Incorporate exfoliation into your skin care routine to slough off dead skin cells and reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath. Opt for gentle exfoliants suitable for your skin type to avoid irritation.

Nourish with Antioxidants: Treat your skin to the power of antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables, and skin care products. Antioxidants help protect your skin from environmental damage and promote a healthy, radiant complexion.

Stay Cool and Refreshed: Beat the summer heat by keeping your skin cool and refreshed. Take cool showers, use refreshing mists, and indulge in hydrating skin care products to soothe and revitalize your skin.

Opt for Lightweight Formulas: Swap out heavy skin care products for lightweight, water-based formulas that won't clog pores or weigh down your skin. Look for oil-free moisturizers and serums that provide hydration without feeling greasy.

Eat Your Way to Glowing Skin: Load up on fruits, vegetables, and omega-rich foods to nourish your skin from the inside out. A balanced diet rich in nutrients can help promote healthy, radiant skin.

Get Your Beauty Sleep: Prioritize quality sleep to allow your skin time to repair and regenerate overnight. Get some restful sleep each night to wake up to a glowing complexion.

⚠️ Attention, Botox Beauties! ⚠️

So, you've just had your Botox treatment and you're feeling fabulous – and rightfully so! 💉✨ But before you go about your day, there are a few important things to keep in mind to ensure that your results are as stunning and long-lasting as possible.

❌ Don't rub or massage the treated area: While it might be tempting to touch your newly smoothed skin, resist the urge to rub or massage the treated area.

❌ Avoid strenuous exercise: Give yourself a break from intense workouts and activities for the first 24 hours post-Botox. Vigorous exercise can increase blood flow and potentially disperse the Botox before it has a chance to fully take effect.

❌ Stay upright: Refrain from lying down flat for at least four hours after your Botox treatment. This helps prevent the Botox from migrating to other areas of your face and ensures that it stays right where it's supposed to be.

❌ Skip the alcohol: While a celebratory glass of wine might seem like the perfect way to toast your new look, alcohol can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising at the injection sites. Save the cheers for later and opt for hydrating beverages instead.

❌ Don't schedule other facial treatments right away: Give your skin some time to settle after Botox before jumping into other facial treatments like facials, chemical peels, or microdermabrasion. It's best to wait at least two weeks to ensure that your Botox has fully taken effect and that your skin is ready for additional treatments.

Remember, the goal of Botox is to enhance your natural beauty and give you a refreshed, youthful appearance – so treat your skin with care and follow these post-Botox guidelines for the best results!

🌟 Meet Lexie Staub, PA-C! 🌟

Ever wondered what inspired our very own Physician Assistant at Bend Dermatology Clinic's Klamath Falls location? Lexie shares her journey from Botany to Dermatology with us.

"Although I was always hugely interested in medicine, I could never quite see myself becoming a Physician, yet I also wanted to do more than nursing. I spent two of my years in college studying botany with plans to enter the agricultural field. I befriended a Nurse Practitioner who told me what a Physician Assistant was, and in that moment, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to do. Although I love every field of medicine, I feel that Dermatology is the best specialty because we are making a large difference in our patients’ health and quality of life every day."

Curious about Lexie's preferences? She's a coffee enthusiast! And when it comes to music, she's all about good songwriting and acoustic guitar vibes, with favorites like John Mayer, Tyler Childers, and Jon Pardi.

Next time you're at our Klamath Falls location, say hello to Lexie and share your coffee or music recommendations with her! For appointments, visit BendDerm.com.
