With 3.5 million cases diagnosed annually, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Fortunately, skin cancer is also one of the most preventable forms of cancer. Dr. Wisco will talk about the effects sun has on your skin and what you can do to prevent sun damage.
The Summit Health Dermatology Open House is free to the public. In addition to Dr. Wisco’s talk, the public can meet Summit Health Dermatology providers and staff, visit with an Elta skin care representative for product specials and information and get exclusive access to a Skin Ceuticals light box which reveals visible and underlying skin imperfections.
