May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month

Turning OFF the Switch on Skin Cancer Risks, Scars, and Skin Damage

Did you know skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., with more diagnoses each year than all other cancers combined? And yet—it's also one of the most preventable and treatable, especially with early detection and the right post-care.

At Buff’d Wellness in Sandy Springs, I take a full-spectrum approach to healing—whether you’re navigating life after a skin biopsy, surgery, or managing hyperpigmentation and scar tissue. From restoring movement with NKT to regenerating skin with Microneedling and Celluma LED Light Therapy, your care is never one-size-fits-all.

Let’s explore how we can turn OFF the switches that no longer serve you—whether that’s pain, pigment, or poor mobility—and get you back to feeling your best.

Skin cancer awareness isn’t just about protection—it’s also about healing. You can't see your back as well, but I can during a Massage, I can let you know if I see anything you should have checked out, including in your facial.

Healing Below the Surface: Scar Tissue, Strength, and NKT

Here’s something most people overlook: scars aren’t just skin deep.

Surgical scars—even small biopsy sites—can interfere with your brain’s communication to your muscles, creating movement dysfunction, pain, or compensation patterns in entirely different areas of your body. Think tight hips, weak core, or chronic shoulder tension—yes, all linked to a tiny skin scar.

That’s where NeuroKinetic Therapy (NKT) comes in.

As the only practitioner in Sandy Springs integrating NKT with scar tissue therapy, I assess how your nervous system has rerouted around the trauma—and turn ON the muscles that have been turned OFF because of it.

💡 Think of it as clearing static in the system so your body can rebuild strength and symmetry from the inside out.

Celluma LED Light Therapy: Heal Skin, Rewire Recovery

Whether your scar is new or years old, Celluma LED Light Therapy delivers medical-grade wavelengths that penetrate deep into tissue to:

✅ Stimulate cellular regeneration

Microneedling Facial: Wake Up Your Skin’s Healing Power

For scar tissue on the face or body, especially from biopsies, acne, or sun damage, Microneedling is a game-changer. Using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries, this treatment stimulates your skin’s natural wound healing process, which leads to:

✨ New collagen + elastin

✨ Softer, smoother skin texture

✨ Lightened pigmentation and scars

✨ Improved tone and firmness

When paired with Circadia’s post-procedure skincare and Celluma LED, Microneedling helps restore your skin from the inside out—without lasers, downtime, or harsh chemicals.

Turning OFF Melanin: Brighten, Don’t Bleach

Pigment issues like melasma, sun spots, or uneven tone often follow sun damage or skin trauma. Circadia Skin Care features scientifically proven ingredients that suppress excess melanin and inhibit tyrosinase—the enzyme that tells your skin to keep darkening.

That means:

🌿 A more radiant, even skin tone

🌿 Less post-inflammatory pigmentation

🌿 Healthy brightening without bleaching or irritation

Together, we can turn OFF the melanin switch safely, with custom facials and home care that work in harmony with your skin.
