Austin, Texas (PRWEB) February 04, 2013 - Tru-Skin Dermatology, America’s first dermatology franchise is proud to announce the signing of its first franchisee, Dr. Chris D. Collins, MD, FAAD. Dr. Collins will be an area developer for the dermatology franchise and will develop three locations in central Texas. His first location will open in Leander, TX. Grand opening of his new Tru-Skin Dermatology Crystal Falls Parkway, Leander , TX office is scheduled for spring, 2013.

In 2012, Tru-Skin became the nation’s first dermatology franchise offering a proven business model to deliver a means for physicians, investors, vendors and employees to make a meaningful contribution to lessening the skin cancer epidemic. By increasing patient access to dermatology in a calm and convenient environment, Tru-Skin improves skin cancer outcomes by treating patients and educating communities in metropolitan and rural markets. Additionally, each Tru-Skin Dermatology franchise location will create new jobs in the areas it serves.

“Using the Tru-Skin Dermatology system, I was able to go from one dermatology office to three in short period of time, and I derived tremendous personal satisfaction from meeting the skin cancer epidemic head on,” explained founder Dr. Daniel J. Ladd. “Now, I’m offering this proven business model to physicians and investors who wish to make a difference in their community as well. People considering investing in Tru-Skin Dermatology should be interested in not only creating predictable revenue, but in increasing skin cancer awareness and reaching out to the communities that those clinics serve,” said Dr. Ladd.

Tru-Skin Dermatology represents the next generation of dermatology private practices that perform the most current and innovative surgical, medical and cosmetic services including: free monthly cancer screenings, minimally invasive and non-invasive cancer treatment options, painless procedures, injectable agents, laser, peels, skin products, as well as in-house pathology and radiology services.

America faces a growing epidemic of skin cancer with approximately two million people diagnosed with skin cancer each year in the United States.1 The increasing incidence of skin cancer has resulted in more skin cancer cases per year than colon, lung and breast cancer combined. 2 Tru-Skin Dermatology, a medical provider focused on the early detection and prevention of skin cancer, is committed to providing the highest quality dermatologic care for skin cancer and all skin conditions in convenient locations across the country.
