Leading Dermatologists on UV-Blocker's UV Parasols and Umbrellas

Few people see the sun's effect on skin as clearly as dermatologists do, from a simple sunburn through to a serious skin cancer diagnosis. To better protect their patients, several leading US dermatologists have recommended the UV-Blocker umbrella. In their view, the protection it gives helps keep patients and their families safe from skin-damaging UV rays.


“My patients routinely ask me about other UV-protective options besides sunscreen and sun avoidance. Now, I have another fantastic option for my patients. Being a UV-Blocker umbrella user myself, this travel umbrella has many purposes besides rain protection. I highly recommend the UV-Blocker umbrella to you and your family for its compactness, ease of use and storage, durability, coolness, and most importantly, its sun protection against skin cancer and premature aging.”

“It’s not just the Baby Boomers who I have been treating for sun-related skin damage including skin cancer. I have seen an increasing number of younger individuals with varying degrees of UV-related skin problems…problems that are most often preventable. I spend vacation time with my grandchildren on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. The first items we pack are our UV-Blocker Beach Umbrellas. I have been recommending them to my patients for years.”

“An all-to-common result of exposure to the sun is actinic keratosis. Usually affecting older adults, it can develop on the face, lips, ears, back of hands, forearms, scalp, and neck. The rough, scaly skin patch enlarges slowly and can eventually become cancerous. The UV-Blocker umbrella is one of the most effective defenses against this type of sun damage on the market today. I highly recommend it to patients who spend time outdoors in sunny conditions.”
