MEMPHIS, TENN., August 16, 2018 – Were you in the sun all summer and forgot to reapply sunscreen often? Levy Dermatology is inviting the public to a free skin cancer screening event Friday, September 7 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Memphis Levy Dermatology office at 6254 Poplar Avenue and Collierville Levy Dermatology office at 1125 Schilling Boulevard E. Suite 105. Screenings will be done by Board-Certified MOHs Surgeons and Dermatologists Dr. Alan Levy and Dr. John Huber, Board-Certified Dermatologist Dr. Danielle Levine, Nurse Practitioner Lauren Plyler, and Physician’s Assistants Jodi Burgess and Deborah Horwitz.

“As the summer season is almost over, we encourage the public to visit a dermatologist, as well as perform self-exams, to prevent the development of skin cancer. We understand people are often unsure about what they see when it comes blemishes on their skin so we are happy to provide a few hours Friday, September 7 for a free skin cancer screening at our Memphis and Collierville locations,” said Dr. Alan Levy, Dermatologist and Owner of Levy Dermatology.

Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the United States, and one in five Americans will develop skin cancer. Nearly 90% of melanomas, the deadliest form of skin cancer, are caused by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, either from natural or artificial sources, and an estimated 90 percent of skin aging is caused by the sun.

“When caught and recognized early, Melanoma can be treatable. Early detection through a simple skin screening makes this form of cancer easily curable,” said Dr. Alan Levy. “A skin cancer screening is simple and easy, it takes about ten to fifteen minutes and involves a head-to-toe skin assessment. We look for any questionable features, such as discolored or abnormal moles.”

Levy Dermatology is comprised of a team of highly trained and experienced dermatologists, nurses, and aestheticians that focuses on improving the health of skin in the Memphis, Germantown, and Collierville areas. The practice offers a broad range of diagnostic and treatment procedures with an emphasis on outstanding service and excellence in dermatologic care.

About Levy Dermatology:

The specialists at Levy Dermatology provide skilled, personalized service with ethical and unparalleled diagnosis and treatment of medical skin problems.

The Levy Dermatology difference is the emphasis on giving you a natural result that augments your inherent facial features. A conservative approach allows for subtle but pleasing improvements in your beauty rather than a frozen, angular look that is commonly seen with less experienced providers. This philosophy, combined with Levy Dermatology’s years of training, experience, and artistic perspective, is our advantage. Our philosophy is focused on you, but smoother, younger, and refreshed!

Whether you want improvement in how your skin feels or looks or you simply want a relaxing facial, we can design a treatment plan — and pamper you in the process. With advances in the use of lasers, cryolipolysis, neurotoxins, and fillers, we are able to help patients achieve beautiful, healthy skin that matches the age they feel.

In addition to cosmetic dermatology options, our aestheticians can refresh and enhance your skin with aesthetic treatments such as skin pen, facials, chemical peels or microdermabrasion.
