Cosmetic procedures have become more popular in the last decade. Minimally invasive procedures are on the rise even more than surgical procedures. The five most common non-surgical cosmetic procedures in 2019 were botulinum toxin injections (such as Botox), hyaluronic acid treatment, laser hair removal, non-surgical fat reduction, and photorejuvenation (IPL). Medicine focuses on medical problems and associated skin hazards, while others focus on aesthetic problems and the cosmetic application of dermatology. Cosmetic dermatology is a subfield of dermatology. Yes, and practitioners often receive additional training. However, subspecialties do not require additional certification. Exfoliation is the removal of dead skin cells and accumulated dirt from the surface of the skin. The term comes from the Latin exfoliate (to remove leaves). This is a popular method in the cosmetic industry to promote skin regeneration and deep cleansing of the skin barrier. For facial treatments, this process can be done by mechanical or chemical means such as microdermabrasion or chemical peels. Exfoliates are touted as treatments that enhance beauty and promote a youthful, healthy appearance. Aesthetic dermatology, also known as aesthetic medicine, is the branch of dermatology that helps patients improve their skin, hair, and nails for cosmetic, rather than health, reasons. Cosmetic dermatology can rejuvenate your skin. As you age, your skin loses its firmness and elasticity, leading to wrinkles that cannot be hidden. Cosmetic dermatology is arguably the fastest growing specialty today. Cosmetic procedures have increased by about 500% since the second half of the last century. Increased demand, predictable and safe treatment, and prompt payment to treating dermatologists have led more and more dermatologists to opt for cosmetic dermatology. For this reason, many feel that this "hype" in cosmetic dermatology has led to a shortage of dermatologists practicing much-needed medical dermatology. This change has occurred in other major medical specialties such as ENT, cardiology, and radiology, as well as in advanced cancer and maxillofacial surgery, interventional cardiology, and interventional radiology, respectively. I have advanced. Similarly, dermatology cannot be limited to issuing prescriptions only. In fact, technological advances in cosmetic dermatology, such as better molecules, lasers, and optical devices, have greatly contributed to the treatment of skin problems historically limited to medical treatments alone. In patients with facial disorders, adding cosmetic procedures such as chemical peels and laser or phototherapy to standard care can yield improved results. Combination is a daily order for holistic practice. The integration of cosmetic dermatology into postgraduate dermatology curricula in India is still developing. In certain areas such as vitiligo, acne, and laser surgery, these are finding permanent homes, which is encouraging. However, anti-aging and hair restoration procedures are still lacking, and interested dermatology graduates must spend additional time and effort on additional post-resident training. Establishing a clinic dedicated to cosmetic dermatology and hair care and including these procedures on the graduate list are just a few steps that can help speed up the process. Dermatology focuses on improving skin health. This includes diagnosing and treating skin diseases such as skin cancer, urticarial, and psoriasis. Cosmetic dermatology, on the other hand, focuses on improving the appearance of the skin with minimally invasive procedures such as injections (Botox and fillers). We also offer a wide range of services including beauty skin care products, vein removal and laser treatments. Cosmetic dermatology and medical treatments may need to be combined for best results.
