Cosmetic dermatology is a super-specialty of dermatology, in which skin diseases are treated with an aesthetic bent of mind. Cosmetic Dermatologists are doctors who are residency trained and Board certified in dermatology & then undergo super-specialty fellowship training in cosmetic dermatology, dermato-surgery & skin laser treatments.

A Dermatologist, in the simplest terms, is a trained Skin Doctor. A Dermatologist is the one who is concerned with various conditions and diseases of the skin, hair and nails. A Cosmetic Dermatologist is a super-specialist doctor who treats the skin, nails or hair using a treatment that will improve a person’s external appearance, in addition to treating a disease. So, while a Dermatologist would prescribe medicines to treat acne, a cosmetic dermatologist in addition has skill sets and has been trained to use lasers to treat acne scars. A Cosmetologist, on the other hand, is someone who is skilled in the areas concerned with makeup, beauty products and skincare & may not necessarily even be a doctor!

A Dermato-surgeon is a Dermatologist who is well-trained & super-specialized in cutaneous surgery. He/she can perform various procedures which can include lasers, liposuction, minimally invasive face-lift and certain other topical and injectable agents like dermal fillers including fat transfer and hyaluronic acid.

Trichology is the branch of Dermatology that is concerned with the scientific study of the health of hair and scalp. Trichologists are scalp and hair specialists who are able to diagnose the causes of hair breakage, hair fall, thinning of hair, miniaturization of the hair; diseases of the scalp and provide treatment depending upon the cause.

Generally however, a Trichologist may not necessarily be a Doctor. Or, they could be doctors who are not dermatologists – i.e. they could be family physicians, gynecologists, pathologists or alternative medicine practitioners.
