Q1. Are hair transplantation or hair removal treatments provided by dermatologists?
Ans. Yes, hair transplant treatments or hair grafting along with hair removal treatments are performed by dermatologists. Hair grafting or a hair transplant is an outpatient hair replacement procedure performed by removing hair follicles from one part of the body, i.e. the ‘donor site’ and transplanting them to a bald or balding part of the body, i.e. the ‘recipient site’.
In case of hair removal treatments, the dermatologist will use lasers to remove unwanted facial and body hair effectively. Laser hair removal treatments are considered safe thanks to advances in technology. The treatment may take 6 sessions or more depending on the size of the area to be treated.
Q2. Should you go to a dermatologist for acne?
Ans. As you may already know, acne is a common skin condition however, if your acne keeps getting worse even after using over-the-counter products, it’s time to visit a dermatologist to get an expert opinion on its treatment. There are several factors that make acne worse and if you have moderate to severe inflammatory acne, nodules, or cystic breakouts you should skip over-the-counter products altogether and get yourself evaluated by a dermatologist right away.
Q3. When should one consult a dermatologist?
Ans. The skin is your body’s first line of defence and protects you from many problems. However, if you find that your skin is losing its protective barrier with many skin issues like stubborn acne, hives, scars, blemishes, skin irritation, ingrown nails, nail disorders, etc. cropping up, you should consider seeing a dermatologist immediately.
Q4. Is a dermatologist a skin doctor?
Ans. A dermatologist is a medical professional or doctor who specialises in diagnosing several skin, hair, and nail conditions through physical examinations. He/she can identify and treat over 3,000 conditions and these could include eczema, psoriasis, as well as skin cancer, among many others.
Q5. Do you need a doctor referral to see a dermatologist?
Ans. It depends on the kind of skin, hair, nail condition that you are affected with. While some people directly walk over to the dermatologist’s clinic, others prefer to see a general physician (GP) before he/she refers them to a dermatologist. Ideally, you should make an appointment with the dermatology department of the hospital or even a clinic so you can see the dermatologist without a referral.
