ABSTRACT

An on-site skin care clinic provides patients with a result-oriented skin conditioning process. This process is dedicated first to the prevention or delay of the need for surgical procedures and cosmetic dermatologic treatments that require a physicians direct participation in the procedure itself. Second, it provides patients with physician-supervised skin preparation to enhance the healing and, at the same time, screen patients for compliance. Third, this process enhances, maximizes, and helps maintain the results from the physician-performed services for many years. Fourth, a result-oriented skin conditioning process encourages repeat surgical referrals and/or generates new ones. These four main reasons demonstrate the need for an on-site skin care clinic.
