Sunscreen fact and fiction: What the science says
Somehow, the idea that we need to protect our skin from the sun has blurred in recent years — largely due to online misinformation. We asked dermatologists about the science on sunscreen products.

Dermatology Clinic
Stanford Dermatologists are leaders in their fields. Our faculty members at the Dermatology Clinic are nationally and internationally recognized for their À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, teaching and patient care. We offer the most advanced diagnostic and therapeutic interventions at a state of the art facility in Redwood City.
Dermatologists' eyes are uniquely trained to analyze the skin, hair, and nails. They can spot potential problems and diagnose a multitude of conditions that range from minor to life-threatening.
These skills and knowledge can improve the lives of patients of all ages—the infant with a red birthmark, the child with eczema, the baby boomer with sun-damaged skin, the senior citizen with shingles—effectively treating their skin conditions and making them look and feel their best.
Dermatologists also are a great resource for learning how to prevent skin, hair, and nail concerns. They can teach you how to protect yourself from the sun to avoid skin cancer, caution you about hairstyles that can contribute to hair loss, and advise you about how to care for your nails to prevent common conditions such as nail fungus.

Red light therapy: What the science says
Photobiomodulation, the use of light waves to change human biology, has boomed in recent years for all kinds of purposes, at medical clinics and at home. We wanted to know what the science says - and doesn't say.
