What Does a Skin Care Clinic Do?

A dermatologist is a doctor that specialises in dealing with health and disease aspect of skin, hair and nail.

A Cosmetic dermatologist is someone who has taken further training to provide treatment for cosmetic issues, helping patients to revitalize the appearance of skin, hair and nails.

This is different from a cosmetologist who could be any doctor (but not a dermatologist) or a non doctor (beauty parlour therapist) who has only been trained in beauty procedures without any foundation of basic dermatology and trichology.

For example, if one has hair loss from iron deficiency anemia, an untrained doctor won’t investigate and start with microneedling and PRP procedures but all the patient needs is iron supplementation. This can only be detected by a dermatologist who has been extensively trained in the basics of dermatology and trichology.

Another example being, a patient presents with dark underarms and the cosmetologist starts doing peels. But a dermatologist will identify the cause and then initiate treatment. A bacterial infection named erythrasma presents with dark underarms and can easily be managed by an antibiotic course lasting no more than a week and save the patients hard earned money wasting away doing unnecessary peels.

Every doctor that performs cosmetic procedures, be it the basic ones like peels or the more advanced lasers and fillers, has to have a strong foundation of dermatology in place so they can minimise the chances of side effects, and manage complications better. Also there are some dermatologic conditions that require medical management and not just procedures. A sound knowledge of dermatology and trichology is imperative to have a successful cosmetic outcome!!

Skin has three layers:

The epidermis, the outermost layer of skin, provides a physical barrier and creates our skin tone. It also allows absorption of the products we apply to our skin, so one should think wisely what we apply.

The dermis, beneath the epidermis, contains tough connective tissue, hair follicles, and sweat glands. This layer plays a major role in ag

The deeper subcutaneous tissue (hypodermis) is made of fat and connective tissue.
