A new dark spot pops up on your hand like a coffee stain. Another wrinkle creases around the corner of your eye.

Your skin just isn’t what it used to be, and there’s no shame in that. We all get older, and at some point, we get wrinkles, dark spots, acne, or some other common skin problems.       

We’re in the seasons of change, and Proffer Surgical Associates is experiencing some change ourselves. We are excited to welcome Dr. Summer Clark, MD to the Proffer Surgical Associates surgical team.

When the seasons change, often so does our skin. Differences in weather can wreak havoc on your skin and may even occasionally alter the beauty products and treatments you require. It’s important to take these factors into consideration when evaluating your beauty regimen.

When the end of the year rolls around, there’s a lot more going on than just holiday parties and get-togethers. Many people take a little extra time to reflect and get their internal ‘houses’ in order to prepare for a new year.

The holidays are almost here, and you know what that means: it’s time for family get-togethers, office parties, and nights out with friends.

It’s a problem you’d prefer not to talk about: the excess fat on your chest. Whether you’re in the pool, at the beach, or in the bedroom, you don’t want to take your shirt off for fear of judgment.

You may be a completely healthy man. You may be diligent about your exercise, you watch what you eat, you don’t smoke, and you’re at a normal weight for your height. Yet every time you look in the mirror you see masses of fat tissue on your chest that just won’t go away no matter what you do.

Fall is here, and that means it’s time to recover from everything you put your skin through over the summer. From sand and sun to wind and chlorine, we punish our skin while we have fun in the sun. Then fall rolls around, and your skin looks faded, dull, and parched.

All of us want to feel confident in our own skin, and men are no different! But if you don’t feel comfortable with the way your chest looks, that can feel impossible.           

One common and yet seldom talked about condition can destroy your self-confidence and make going shirtless something you dread. This condition is called Gynecomastia, and according to the Mayo Clinic, 30 percent of men will develop it at some point in their lives. 

Autumn is wonderful. Pumpkins are everywhere, leaves are falling and there is a slight chill in the air that is so refreshing.

However, fall can have its downside. Especially in West Texas, fall is dry, dry, dry. With the lack of moisture in the air, it is time to transition your skin care regimen in order to maintain a healthy glow.
