Dermatology

A lot of people around us tend to develop rashes and / or certain infections / allergies on their skin which happens due to their intolerance to sunlight, cold / hot water, or certain other environmental / artificial elements. The branch of healthcare that aims to deal with such cases is Dermatology. A dermatologist specialises in skin-related infections / disorders, and technically manages and cures cosmetic abnormalities in an individual. A skin specialist in Dubai here at Aster Hospital is here to provide you a comprehensive consultation on your dermatology issues. 

About Dermatology

While Dermatology may, by itself, be a branch within healthcare, even dermatologists have specialisations that are determined based on their field of expertise, and the kinds of conditions they are more trained in curing in their patients. 

There are various sub-divisions (or specialisations) within dermatology: 

Cosmetic dermatology

The dermatologists specialising in this practice employ certain cosmetic procedures to beautify and / or cure their patients; most of these procedures employ the use of minimally invasive procedures: 

  • Liposuction
  • Blepharoplasty
  • Face Lifts

Dermatopathology

These doctors specialise in skin pathologies. 

Trichology

Trichology specialises in diseases such as hair loss, hair abnormalities, scalp changes, and/or hypertrichosis. 

Immunodermatology

Doctors practising Immunodermatology essentially work with conditions such as lupus, pemphigus vulgaris, and bullous pemphigoid. 

Mohs surgery

This division is a critical care division where the surgeons work on eliminating skin cancers employing the use of a technique called intraoperative assessment. This department involves the intervention from two specialists - a pathologist and the surgeon. 

Paediatric dermatology

This division particularly works with neonates, children, and infants. 

Some common treatments / therapies provided by dermatologists include but are not restricted to: 

  • Elimination and treatment of skin cancer
  • Cryosurgery – for warts, dermatosis, and skin cancers
  • Cosmetic filler injections
  • Intralesional treatment
  • Laser Therapy – for removal of birthmarks, skin disorders and cosmetic resurfacing and rejuvenation
  • Photodynamic Therapy – for skin cancer and precancerous growths
  • Phototherapy – using narrowband UVB, broadband UVB, psoralen and UVB
  • Tumescent Liposuction
  • Radiation Therapy
