May at Skinnovations
Skin Cancer Awareness Month | Protect. Prevent. Preserve.
Rooted in Prevention. Guided by Intention. ✨
A Note on Skin Health This Month
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month—a time to pause and refocus on what truly matters when it comes to your skin: protection, prevention, and long-term health.
At Skinnovations, our approach goes beyond treatments and results. We are here to guide you in building habits that support your skin not just today—but for years to come. Because true skin health isn’t about quick fixes—it’s built through consistency, education, and intentional care.
And while we’re always focused on helping you achieve healthy, beautiful skin… this month is about something even deeper:
protecting it.
It starts with one simple, powerful step:
daily SPF.
Not just at the beach. Not just in the summer.But as a daily commitment to your future skin.
Why This Matters
Here’s something that may surprise you…
Only 29% of women and 12.3% of men consistently use sunscreen when outdoors for an hour.
Which means the majority of people are unintentionally accelerating:
• Premature aging
• Hyperpigmentation
• Collagen breakdown
• And most importantly, increased skin cancer risk
While many focus on correcting concerns after they appear, the truth is—some of the most impactful results come from preventing damage before it begins.
This is where we come in.
Not just to treat your skin—but to guide you in protecting it, with education, intention, and care.
Why SPF is Non-Negotiable
Most people associate sunscreen with sunny days or vacations—but the reality is, UV exposure occurs every single day, regardless of season or weather.
Even on overcast days, UV rays continue to penetrate the skin—contributing over time to:
• Premature aging
• Hyperpigmentation
• Collagen breakdown
• And most importantly, increased skin cancer risk
The difference isn’t occasional use—it’s daily consistency.
This is where small habits become powerful.
At Skinnovations, we don’t view SPF as an optional step—it’s a foundational part of maintaining skin health and protecting the results of every treatment we perform.
SPF isn’t just skincare—it’s part of your daily skin health protocol.
Looking for an SPF you’ll actually wear every day?

A Resource You Can Trust
Medical Director Spotlight
At Skinnovations, your care is supported by a team that values both aesthetic results and long-term skin health. We are proud to work alongside our medical director, Dr. Stephen Lewellis, a board-certified integrative dermatologist serving central and northern Wisconsin.
Dr. Lewellis is known for his thoughtful, patient-centered approach—blending traditional dermatology with a deeper understanding of lifestyle, root causes, and individualized care. His philosophy closely aligns with ours: that meaningful, lasting results come from truly understanding the patient—not just treating the surface.
He offers comprehensive skin checks, one of the most important tools in early detection and prevention.
In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Lewellis is offering an exclusive skin check rate of $250 for Skinnovations patients throughout the month of May.
If you’ve never had a skin check—or it’s been a while—this is a powerful step toward taking control of your skin health.
When booking, please be sure to mention that you are a Skinnovations patient to receive this exclusive rate.

Moments to be Mindful During May
Throughout May, we’ll be highlighting skin health with a focus on a few meaningful moments:
• Melanoma Monday (May 4)
• Mother’s Day — a reminder that caring for yourself is just as important
• “Don’t Fry Day” — leading into Memorial Day weekend and increased sun exposure
These moments serve as simple but powerful reminders to check in with your skin, your habits, and your level of daily protection.
Supporting Your Skin from Within
At Skinnovations, we believe healthy skin is not only created through treatments and topical care, but also through what’s happening internally.
Factors like stress, inflammation, hydration, and nutrient balance all play a role in how your skin functions, heals, and ages over time.
This is why we take a more integrative approach to skin health—supporting both the outside and the inside.
We’ve partnered with NutriDyn, a trusted, medical-grade supplement line designed to support the body at a foundational level.
Where to Begin
Creatine
Often associated with athletics, creatine also supports cellular energy production, muscle recovery, and cognitive performance, making it a valuable supplement for overall vitality and resilience.
Whey Protein
NutriDyn’s whey protein provides a high-quality source of protein to support muscle recovery, metabolism, and sustained energy throughout the day.
Fruits & Greens
A nutrient-dense blend designed to help support daily antioxidant intake, digestion, and overall nutritional balance.
Collagen
Collagen peptides support skin, hair, nails, joints, and connective tissue, making them an easy addition to daily routines.
Hydrate
NutriDyn’s Hydrate formulas provide key electrolytes and minerals that help support hydration, energy, and recovery — especially helpful during busy days, workouts, or travel.
Curious which supplements may be best for you? Our team is always happy to help guide you.

CONSISTENCY CREATES RESULTS
The patients who age the most gracefully aren’t the ones doing one big treatment once a year.
They’re the ones doing small, consistent maintenance.
Our Skinnovations VIP Membership was designed for exactly that — a simple way to stay on a schedule without feeling like you’re constantly making a large decision every visit.
Choose to bank $125 or $250 each month toward treatments, skincare, and laser services — your funds never expire and can build toward larger treatments when you’re ready.
Think of it as a personal self-care savings account, but guided by your providers so your skin is always moving forward instead of starting over.
VIP members also receive:
✨ $1 off per unit of tox
✨ $50 off filler and biostimulator syringes
✨ 10% off skincare and supplements
✨ 10% off Hydrafacials, chemical peels, lasers, and microneedling
Aging well isn’t about reacting to changes —it’s about staying ahead of them.
