Sun Overexposure and Skin Damage
The sun is critical for health and well-being on planet Earth, yet too much sun can be damaging to individuals. We review the pathophysiology and clinical implications of sun overexposure.

- Describe the damaging effects of sun overexposure both acutely and chronically
- Outline some potential ways to prevent damage as well as to reverse damage
- Identify areas that require further research and understanding
Wrinkles: Diet and Oral Supplements
Dietary factors can impact collagen function and the development of wrinkles, which will be explored in this session.
After completing this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss advanced glycation end products and how they are introduced into the body
- Review an optimal anti wrinkle diet

Botanicals, Topicals, and Supplements for Wrinkles

Dermatologic Care of the Transgender Patient
The role of the dermatologist in the care of the transgender individual is multifaceted. Hormones used for transitioning affect both hair and sebum, each with consequences from paucity to excess. Gender-confirming surgeries may have dermatologic pre- and post-operative interventions, and create sometimes-novel anatomy for disease presentation. Cosmetic procedures classically used for rejuvenation can be used to help create an appearance more congruent with an individual’s self-image. The objective of this presentation is therefore to explore these issues and the challenges the dermatologist may face when doing so in order to provide both medically sound and culturally competent care.
After completing this activity, participants will be able to:
- Develop cultural competence in caring for transgender individuals
- Describe the impact of exogenous hormones on the skin and hair
- Recall aesthetic techniques for the purpose of gender affirmation
