Cosmetic Dermatology: What We Do
Washington, D.C.
Unsightly birthmarks, scars, and signs of aging affect how people feel about themselves, and how others feel about them. While long considered irreversible, these conditions can now be treated with laser treatments that are safe and effective when performed by skilled physicians. Specialized laser techniques developed and further perfected by Drs. Alster and Tanzi have been featured in numerous medical and other publications. Doctors Alster and Tanzi are highly committed to realizing the outward and inward changes that dermatologic laser surgery can produce.
