Dermatology Department
Dermatology is the branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and managing conditions related to the skin, hair, and nails. As the largest organ of the body, the skin plays a crucial role in protecting against environmental factors, regulating temperature, and preventing infections.
In addition to medical treatments, dermatologists often provide cosmetic procedures, including anti-aging treatments, laser therapy, and solutions for aesthetic skin concerns like scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation disorders. The field of dermatology blends both medical and cosmetic expertise to help patients maintain healthy skin and address various dermatologic concerns.
