What is "The Skinny"?

This monthly email shares updates about the many happenings at Pima Dermatology. The "SKINny" is the “scoop”, the “dish”, the “lowdown”. Since we're a dermatology practice, we’re all about skin! We’re also all about keeping our patients well-informed! This is good stuff -- and if you're in, read on!

Community Engagement with TMC for Seniors

Last month, May 21st, Dr. Amy Garcia lit up both the room and the Zoom during her Women’s Health Month talk at TMC for Seniors: “Skin Deep: The Essentials of Skin Care and Aging.”

 

The hybrid event was packed—hardly a seat left in the house—and the virtual audience tuned in strong. Dr. Garcia delivered a dynamic, informative session that covered everything from everyday skin care routines to aging-related issues like skin cancer—how to spot it, treat it, and most importantly, prevent it.

 

Dr. Garcia wrapped up with a rapid-fire Q&A that had questions flying in from both in-person and online attendees. She handled it all with her signature mix of grace, humor, and deep expertise.

 

Community events like this are always a great way to connect, highlight our exceptional Providers (like Dr. Garcia!), and provide meaningful health education that leaves people feeling informed, empowered, and cared for.

Pride at Pima Dermatology: More Than Just a Month

At Pima Dermatology, we believe that Pride is not just a celebration—it’s a commitment we make every day, all 365 of them throughout the year. While Pride Month offers an opportunity to highlight the importance of visibility and inclusion for the LGBTQ+ community, we want our patients to know that our doors are always open, and our care is always inclusive.


Dermatologic care is personal, and it should consistently be delivered in an environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself—no exceptions. We are proud to offer a compassionate, inclusive, and welcoming space for our LGBTQ+ patients, ensuring that all of our patients' needs are addressed with the utmost respect and professionalism.


Pride isn’t a once-a-year celebration here at Pima Dermatology; it’s part of our everyday culture. It’s a commitment to making sure every person feels cared for, valued, and respected every single time they visit. Thank you for trusting us with your care.

Men's Health Month: Prevention, Protection, and Early Detection

June is Men’s Health Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of overall health—and that includes skin health. Skincare isn’t just about appearance—it’s about prevention, protection, and early detection.


Men’s skin tends to be thicker and oilier, and often faces daily shaving and more time in the sun. Here are a few dermatologist-approved tips:


  • Cleanse Daily: Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and sweat—especially after workouts.
  • Moisturize: Even oily skin needs moisture. Look for lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas.
  • Sunscreen is Essential: Protect your skin from sun damage with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, every day.
  • Shave Smart: Use a clean razor and shaving cream to reduce irritation and ingrown hairs.
  • Check Your Skin: Monitor moles and spots for changes, and see a dermatologist for annual skin checks.


Whether you're dealing with acne, sun damage, or just looking to maintain healthy skin, our team is here to help. Explore our dermatologist-recommended skincare products HERE. We offer solutions tailored for men’s skin needs—from cleansers and sunscreens to lightweight moisturizers.


Healthy skin is part of a healthy lifestyle. This Men’s Health Month, take a moment to check in with your skin—and let Pima Dermatology support you every step of the way.

Acne Awareness Month: Let Us Help You Clear the Path to Healthier Skin

June marks Acne Awareness Month, a time to educate, support, and empower those affected by acne. Whether you're dealing with occasional breakouts or more persistent, painful acne, our experienced team is here to guide you with compassionate, expert care.


Acne is a complex skin condition influenced by several factors:


  • Genetics
  • Excess oil production
  • Clogged pores from dead skin cells
  • Bacteria
  • Hormonal fluctuations


These elements can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and sometimes cystic lesions. While acne is most common in teens, it can affect people of all ages.


At Pima Dermatology, we tailor acne treatments to your individual needs. Our Medical and Cosmetic Providers may recommend:


  • Topical treatments (retinoids, antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide)
  • Oral medications (antibiotics, hormonal therapy, isotretinoin)
  • In-office procedures (extractions, chemical peels, laser therapy)


We also offer hand-selected skincare products that support your treatment plan. A simple regimen—cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen—can go a long way when paired with professional care.


Let us help you clear the path to healthier skin. Call 520.795.7729 or click HERE.
