EltaMD Sunscreen

In Boca Raton, FL

Introduction

EltaMD – The breakthrough sunscreen

Sun protection isn’t optional — especially for us in South Florida. Daily UV exposure can accelerate skin aging, worsen pigmentation, and compromise your results from other treatments.

EltaMD sunscreen protects the skin while supporting overall skin health. At Align Aesthetic Center in Boca Raton, EltaMD is recommended as part of a long-term skin maintenance plan under the guidance of Dr. Jonathan Cook, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, and the Align team.

What is EltaMD Sunscreen?

EltaMD is a medical-grade sunscreen line formulated to provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. Most EltaMD sunscreens use zinc oxide as their primary active ingredient, offering physical sun protection that sits on the skin’s surface and reflects harmful rays.

Many EltaMD formulations also include skin-supporting ingredients such as niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants.

Popular options include EltaMD UV Clear, often recommended for acne-prone or sensitive skin; EltaMD UV Daily for lightweight hydration; and EltaMD UV Restore for patients concerned with visible signs of aging.

Who Are the Best Candidates for EltaMD Sunscreen?

EltaMD sunscreen is appropriate for nearly all skin types and tones. It is especially beneficial for patients with sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, or a history of pigmentation concerns.

Patients undergoing aesthetic treatments are excellent candidates, as sun protection is critical before and after procedures. EltaMD is commonly recommended after laser treatments, chemical peels, microneedling, and injectable treatments, once the skin is ready for sunscreen.

It is also well-suited for patients who spend time outdoors or live in sunny climates and want daily protection without heavy textures or breakouts.

What Are the Benefits of EltaMD Sunscreen?

One of the most significant benefits of EltaMD sunscreen is its reliable, broad-spectrum protection. Zinc oxide provides consistent protection against sun damage, helping to prevent premature aging, sunspots, and hyperpigmentation.

EltaMD is also known for its cosmetic elegance. The formulas are lightweight, non-greasy, and comfortable enough for daily wear. Many patients find they can wear EltaMD under makeup or on bare skin without irritation.

Another key benefit is skin compatibility. EltaMD sunscreens are often well tolerated by sensitive, post-procedure, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin types. Ingredients such as niacinamide help reduce inflammation while supporting the skin barrier.

What’s the First Step?

What to Expect from Using EltaMD Sunscreen

When used daily, EltaMD sunscreen typically feels lightweight and comfortable on the skin. Most formulas absorb easily, leaving no residue or heaviness.

Over time, patients notice improved skin stability, fewer sun-related flare-ups, less redness, and more consistent overall tone. Because EltaMD is designed for daily use, compliance tends to be higher — leading to real, lasting protection.

Consistent application helps reduce the development of new sunspots and supports long-term skin health. It also helps preserve the results of professional treatments by protecting the skin from UV damage.

  • Can I give more stars than 5? This doctor certainly deserves it! I had an injury which led me to the ER. Immediately it was obvious that a plastic surgeon would need to be called in. A good friend recommended Dr. Cook and I couldn’t be happier with her suggestion. Not only is he a FANTASTIC doctor but he’s a pretty amazing person as well. His demeanor alleviated all of my stress from the traumatic event. He brought levity to the ER and immediately made me feel at ease. Months later, he is still checking in, tweaking the scar with lasers and still his kind, impressive self.

  • I couldn’t be more pleased than I am with Dr. Cook and his staff. He does amazing work! I’ve had my eyelid done by him and he’s a perfectionist. He’s incredibly thorough, asks a lot of questions and actually listens to what you’re saying. He’s honest and will tell you if you’re not a good candidate for something, which I feel is a trait missing with most Plastic Surgeons. He’s a true professional and a really nice guy. Has a good sense of humor too. I would recommend Dr. Cook above all other Plastic Surgeons. There is a lot to choose from, but I feel he’s the best. You won’t be disappointed!

  • Dr. Jonathan Cook is the best plastic surgeon and I would refer him to everyone! His exceptional surgery skills and his attentive and professional service are 5 star! I had skin cancer on my neck and chest and I am very relieved and happy with the outcome.

  • I came to Dr. Cook when the mohs surgeon who was going to remove basal cell on my nostril said a plastic surgeon would have to close the area. After having a consult with him, the surgery was set up by his assistant, Lauren. After the mohs surgery, I went directly to Dr. Cook who had to do a skin graft to close up the whole that was left. The area where the graft was taken has no scarring, and the graft took completely. He is doing laser to eliminate scarring on the nose area. I cannot speak highly enough about this team. The caring, consideration and most of all expertise and preciseness was superb, and I am so grateful to Dr. Cook for all of it.
