October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the most common cancer among women worldwide. At Deborah Wilson, MD and Associates, we want to emphasize the importance of early detection and proactive measures that can help prevent breast cancer.

Understanding the Risk

Breast cancer affects millions of women globally, but the good news is that early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment. While some risk factors like age, genetics, and family history are beyond our control, there are steps every woman can take to lower her risk and prevent disease from spreading.

Proactive Measures for Prevention
  • Regular Screenings: The most effective way to detect breast cancer early is through regular mammograms. Women over 40 should schedule annual mammograms, while those with a family history of breast cancer might need to start earlier. Discuss your risk factors with your healthcare provider to determine the best screening schedule for you.

  • Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Maintaining a healthy weight, staying physically active, and eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help lower the risk of breast cancer. Limiting alcohol consumption and avoiding smoking are also important preventive steps.

  • Self-Exams: While mammograms are crucial, monthly breast self-exams can help you become familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel, making it easier to notice any changes. If you find a lump or notice any unusual changes, contact your healthcare provider immediately.

  • Know Your Family History: Understanding your family's medical history can help assess your risk of breast cancer. If you have close relatives who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, you may need to consider genetic counseling and testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations.

The Importance of Regular Check-Ups

Regular check-ups with your gynecologist are essential in the early detection of breast cancer. Your provider can guide you on the right screening plan and offer advice on reducing your risk factors. Remember, early detection can save lives.

Time is running out to register for our biannual Mimosas for a Cause event! Join us Friday, October 11th, from 9am - 12:30pm! This event is not just about raising a glass; it's about taking proactive steps towards a healthier future.

At the event, you'll have the opportunity to take the Galleri Multi-Cancer Early-Detection Test, a simple blood test that can detect over 50+ types of cancer. Early detection is crucial—did you know that there are currently only 5 standardized cancer screenings: Breast, Cervical, Colorectal, Lung, and Prostate. Nearly 70% of cancer deaths are caused by cancers that don't have standardized screening. Galleri can screen for many of the deadliest cancers that don't have standardized screening today, including Pancreatic, Esophageal, Ovarian, and Liver.

This test is available at a special event price of $999 (regularly $1,200).

As a thank you for your commitment to your health, all attendees who have the Galleri Multi-Cancer Early-Detection Test will receive a voucher for a FREE DiamondGlow facial (a $200 value) to be used at a later date. You could even gift this to a friend. It just needs to be redeemed no later than December 31, 2024.

Don't miss this chance to take a proactive approach to your health. Join us in raising a glass to a healthier tomorrow and take the Galleri test—it could be life-changing. 

*The test must be purchased at the time of booking. Non-refundable but transferable.

We look forward to seeing you there- Register below!

Request a Consultation

Getting a tattoo is often a deeply personal decision, but sometimes, what once felt meaningful no longer resonates. If you're considering tattoo removal, it's essential to understand the process and have patience.

Tattoo Removal is a Journey

Tattoo removal is not a one-and-done procedure. Most clients require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results. The number of sessions depends on several factors, including the size, color, and age of the tattoo, as well as your skin type. While some tattoos can be significantly faded or removed, others may only lighten over time and never be completely gone. Often times, it can take 3-4 treatments to see a substantial difference in the shade of the tattoo. In the beginning of the treatment process, each appointment will be spaced about 6 weeks apart. As we progress, treatments could be 8-10 weeks apart to allow the ink to adequately disperse and expel through the lymphatic system. 

Fading vs. Complete Removal

It's essential to understand that complete removal is not always possible. Tattoos with certain colors, such as greens and blues, can be more challenging to remove. Additionally, older tattoos tend to respond better to removal treatments, while newer tattoos might be more resistant. In many cases, the goal is to fade the tattoo to the point where it's less noticeable or can be covered up with a new design. Tattoo removal may require 12+ treatments to achieve the results you are looking for.

The Process: Pain and Discomfort

Tattoo removal can be somewhat painful, often more painful than getting the tattoo. The intensity of the discomfort varies from person to person, depending on individual pain tolerance and the location of the tattoo. Some clients describe the sensation as similar to hot grease splattering the skin. However, we can offer numbing creams or Pronox to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
