“The physicians at the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery are leaders in cosmetic dermatology. While we have a vast array of treatments to correct the signs of aging, we are first and foremost, dermatologists who adamantly believe in skin cancer prevention with daily use of sunscreen and antioxidant to protect vulnerable skin from the damaging and aging effects of UVA and UVB rays,” said Dr. Alster.
