When it comes to skin health and beauty, knowing the difference between a dermatologist and an aesthetic doctor can help you choose the right specialist for your needs.

Dermatologists – The Medical Skin Experts

Dermatologists specialize in diagnosing and treating skin conditions and diseases, including:

• Acne, eczema, and psoriasis

• Skin allergies and infections

• Chronic pigmentation disorders

• Skin cancer screenings and treatments

They are highly trained in medical skin concerns and can prescribe medications or perform specialized procedures for skin health and disease management.

Aesthetic Doctors – The Specialists in Cosmetic Skin Rejuvenation

Aesthetic doctors focus on non-surgical cosmetic procedures that enhance and rejuvenate the skin, including:

• Botox and dermal fillers for wrinkle reduction

• Thread lifts and mesotherapy for skin tightening

• Microneedling with exosomes for skin repair

• Laser treatments and resurfacing for an even complexion

• Fat-dissolving injections and HIFU for contouring

They undergo specialized training in medical aesthetics, ensuring safe and evidence-based treatments that improve skin quality, structure, and youthful appearance.

Who Should You See?

• For medical skin conditions (e.g., rashes, severe acne, eczema), a dermatologist is the best choice.

• For aesthetic concerns like wrinkles, sagging skin, or pigmentation, an aesthetic doctor can provide targeted treatments.
