Dermatology, Cosmetology and Plastic Surgery

Surgical and Cosmetic Dermatology encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at treating skin conditions and enhancing physical appearance. These fields blend medical expertise with aesthetic principles to improve both health and beauty.Surgical Dermatology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancers, removal of benign and malignant growths, and repairing skin damage. Common procedures include excisions, Mohs surgery, and skin grafts. Mohs surgery is particularly noteworthy for its high cure rate in treating basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma by precisely removing cancerous tissue while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible. Other procedures include electrosurgery, cryosurgery, and laser surgery, which are used to remove warts, moles, and other skin lesions. Cosmetic Dermatology, on the other hand, deals with enhancing the appearance of the skin. Treatments in this field include injectables like Botox and dermal fillers, which reduce wrinkles and add volume to the face. Chemical peels and microdermabrasion help improve skin texture and tone by exfoliating the top layers of skin. Laser treatments are employed to address a variety of issues, such as hair removal, vascular lesions and pigmentation disorders.Aesthetic treatments also include non-invasive body contouring techniques, such as Cool Sculpting, which uses cryolipolysis to reduce fat deposits and radiofrequency treatments that tighten the skin and reduce cellulite.
