Cosmetic Dermatology

Cosmetic dermatology uses medical procedures to improve the look and health of the skin. Treatments include peels, microneedling, fillers, botulinum injections and lasers for scars, pigmentation, ageing and unwanted hair.

Results depend on skin type, the condition and realistic expectations. Choose a qualified dermatologist, ask how many sessions are needed and what the risks are, and avoid unlicensed centres, since poor technique can cause burns and scarring, especially on darker skin.
