Find A Dermatologist

A dermatologist is a medical doctor who specializes in the treatment of skin, hair and nails. After earning a medical degree and participating in an internship, he or she must receive a minimum of three additional years of specialty training to attain expert standing in the treatment of skin conditions as well as nails and hair. Many dermatologists become specialty surgeons while others focus on the general practice of keeping skin, hair and nails healthy.

Today's wellness centers and spas typically are owned or employ dermatologists that can medically handle more invasive cosmetic treatments such a laser hair removal, deep chemical skin peels, botox injections, or laser skin resurfacing.

Besides skin diseases and conditions, many wellness center dermatologists specialize in botox injections, tattoo removal, acne conditions, spider vein removal, laser hair removal, skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, sun damaged skin, skin anti-aging, wrinkle removal, facials, and deceases of the skin. As medical doctors, dermatologists are more qualified than estheticians to identify serious skin conditions and to implement more invasive treatments.
