Overview

Dermatology is the study, diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions that affect the skin. Dermatology also focusses on medical conditions affecting the hair and nails. Our skin is the largest organ in our body with many functions. It acts as a barrier, protecting our internal organs from harmful substances such as bacteria and toxins, regulates our body temperature, and prevents us from dehydrating.

A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. Dermatologists address a range of issues ranging from cosmetic skin complaints through to skin cancer. A cosmetic dermatologist has expertise in the aesthetic enhancement of the skin. This includes a range of treatments such as anti-wrinkle injections and the removal of unwanted blemishes or skin degradations.
