WHAT DOES DERMATOLOGIC SURGERY REPRESENT?
Dermatologic surgery is a field of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of aesthetic and medical conditions of the skin, hair, nails and veins. The treatments include different surgical, non-surgical, cosmetic and reconstructive techniques. These treatments are performed by dermatologists and they are included in the dermatology residency practice. This makes all dermatologists highly skilled and experienced to perform dermatological surgery.
Dermatologic surgeons are all board-certified doctors whose main focus is keeping the patient’s skin healthy and radiant. Dermatologists do medical and aesthetic treatments to maintain the function and appearance of the skin in proper condition.
Dermatological surgery is performed to repair the function or appearance of the patient’s skin.
Since this field of medicine is constantly advancing and new technologies are being researched, dermatological surgeries are usually non-invasive or minimally invasive and need to be done with just local anesthesia or topical numbing agents. This way the safety of the patients is greatly increased and the downtime and recovery periods are significantly reduced. The side effects are usually only temporary and minimal. Groundbreaking techniques improve the already established skin surgery procedures even more.
Some methods that are used by dermatologic surgeons include laser therapies, electrosurgery, scalpel surgery, various injectable procedures and photodynamic therapy.
