“By recognizing the differences in male and female anatomy and physiology, W for MEN was conceived to provide an appropriately male centric approach in the treatment and care of men’s skin,” said Dr. Alster, the founding director of the Institute. She further adds, “Dr. Keaney brings a wealth of knowledge to support our commitment to providing the highest level of care for our male patients.”
This unique area of focus is evident immediately upon entering the facility -an environment of inviting privacy and masculine appeal. The range of services offered also reflects the dermatologic issues specific to men of all ages, including laser and other treatments for sun damage, rosacea, acne, scars, tattoos, hair removal, hair restoration, body sculpting and excessive sweating.

With the unofficial start of summer this weekend, what better way to kick off the season than with a visit to Washington Harbour? No need to get stuck in traffic over Bay Bridge.
There's Tony & Joe's, Nick's Riverside Grill, Farmers Fishers Bakers, and Sequoia for libations and fine dining ... and canoeing, biking and jogging along the Potomac.
