Common questions
Dermatology care: frequently asked questions
What conditions does a dermatologist treat?+
A dermatologist diagnoses and treats conditions of the skin, hair and nails, including acne, psoriasis, fungal, bacterial and viral skin infections, hair and nail disorders, and many other long-term or recurring skin problems.
Does cosmetic dermatology only involve procedures?+
No. Cosmetic dermatology covers medical treatment to improve skin health as well as procedures such as Botox, fillers, lasers and peels. The right option depends on your skin, your concern and your goals, and is discussed after an examination.
Are Botox, fillers and laser treatments suitable for everyone?+
Not necessarily. Suitability depends on your skin type, health, medicines and expectations. Your dermatologist will assess you, explain the options, benefits and limitations, and advise whether a procedure is appropriate.
How do I prepare for my first visit?+
Bring any previous reports, a list of your current medicines and skin products, and details of allergies or earlier treatments. Photos showing how the condition looked earlier can also help.
