Healthy Skin Starts Here

September is Skin Care Awareness Month, a perfect reminder that your skin—the body’s largest organ—deserves daily care and professional attention.

September marks Skin Care Awareness Month, and at Ross Dermatology, we’re here to remind you of one simple truth: your skin is more than just what you see in the mirror. It’s your body’s largest organ, serving as a powerful shield that protects you from the outside world—UV rays, environmental toxins, pathogens, and daily wear and tear.

Because your skin works so hard for you, it’s important to return the favor. From annual skin exams to advanced in-office treatments and professional-grade skincare at home, making skin health a priority is an investment in your overall well-being.

Why Skin Health Matters

Your skin is a living, dynamic organ. It regulates temperature, prevents dehydration, and even acts as your first line of immune defense. When neglected, skin can become more than just dry or dull—it can also show early signs of medical conditions such as skin cancer, eczema, psoriasis, or other chronic concerns.

At Ross Dermatology, we encourage patients of all ages to recognize that healthy skin is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.

The Importance of Annual Skin Exams

One of the most impactful steps you can take for long-term skin health is scheduling a yearly skin check. Our board-certified dermatologists carefully evaluate your skin for suspicious moles, sun damage, or early signs of skin cancer.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, but with early detection, it is also one of the most treatable. A quick, painless skin exam can provide peace of mind—and in some cases, save lives.

Cosmetic Treatments: More Than Skin Deep

Our clinics in San Antonio, Seguin, and La Vernia offer a range of cosmetic dermatology services to help you restore, rejuvenate, and maintain your glow.

From wrinkle-smoothing injectables to laser treatments that target pigmentation and scarring, these procedures not only enhance appearance but also improve skin texture and health. Many patients find that investing in cosmetic dermatology motivates them to stay consistent with their at-home skincare, creating a cycle of long-term results.

Skincare at Home: Your Daily Defense

The products you use every day are your skin’s first defense against damage and premature aging. At Ross Dermatology, we carry a carefully curated selection of dermatologist-recommended, professional-grade brands such as:
