Founded in 1999 by Dr Eric Rasmussen, Peninsula Dermatology and Laser Clinic, which has offices in Silverdale and Gig Harbor, is one of the few medical practices in Kitsap County that can serve patients who require medical treatment for skin ailments, as well as those who are looking for a little assistance in turning back the hands of time.
Dr Rasmussen grew up in the San Francisco Bay area and graduated from medical school at UC Davis. He completed an internship in family practice at the University of Colorado in Denver, and then returned to the west coast for two years of dermatological research at the Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon. After completing his research stint, Dr Rasmussen remained at OHSU for another three years as a dermatology resident.
Dr Rasmussen moved to Bremerton in 1983, where he went into practice with the Doctors Clinic. He chose Bremerton, he said, in part because he had family in the area and in part because of the areas easy access to water.
Dermatology is fascinating in that its so visual, said Dr Rasmussen. In many cases you can look at the skin and attain a diagnosis fairly quickly. Its rewarding to be able to move rapidly to treatment.
Another draw for Dr Rasmussen is the fact that dermatology is one of the few specialties that allows doctors to practice in multiple areas, from general medicine to surgery, from dermatopathology (taking, reading and interpreting skin biopsies) to cosmetic procedures.
The main focus of Dr Rasmussens practice, as with any dermatology practice, is skin care: managing sun-related injuries, treating lesions, rashes, rosacea, acne and so on. But the cosmetic side of the practice, which Dr Rasmussen added in 2000, is growing steadily.
Most of the cosmetic procedures available at Peninsula Dermatology and Laser Clinic are ones that are simple to perform, relatively non-invasive and have minimal risk, including Botox injections, the use of fillers, such as Restylene, photofacials and laser hair removal.
Over the years Dr Rasmussen has watched the cosmetic procedure industry boom, particularly with the proliferation of laser and other light-based treatments. Although reluctant to pass judgment, he cautions people to make careful choices before selecting a provider, particularly since current state regulations on who is qualified to operate laser and light-based systems are rather loose.
So many people are trying to get into this business, he said. Thats the problem with this business; you can sell anything to anyone, but you shouldnt. Its more important to find the procedure thats going to benefit them. You have to be ethical about what you do.
