The Washington Institute for Skin Care was established in 1995 as a direct answer to patients' requests for continued skin care evaluation and maintenance treatments after laser surgery. Of course, services are not limited only to those who have had laser surgery. Most people assume that their skin will continue to be healthy throughout their lifetime. However, many skin problems occur because of a lack of knowledge and could be prevented. Skin problems are no small matter.
Skin diseases account for more than three million lost work days annually.
Each year, more than seven million people seek medical advice on new skin disease problems. We cannot continue to take healthy skin for granted. After all, the skin is the largest organ of the body, and it performs many important functions. Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery. All Rights Reserved.
