Who Is Dermatologist

Understanding the Experts Behind Skin, Hair, and Nail Health


When you hear the word dermatologist or skin specialist you might immediately think of acne treatments or skin creams. But dermatologists do much more than that. They are highly trained doctors who specialize in diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases related to the skin, hair, and nails.


At Cutiscity, we work exclusively with licensed dermatologists to ensure that when you seek help for your skin, you’re getting care from a certified expert — not just beauty advice.

👩‍⚕️ 

What Does a Dermatologist Do?

A dermatologist is trained to treat over 3,000 conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. These include:

1- Skin conditions: Acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, rashes, pigmentation, skin infections

2- Hair concerns: Hair thinning, hair loss, scalp disorders

3- Nail disorders: Fungal infections, brittle nails, unusual nail growth

4- Serious health conditions: Skin cancer, autoimmune skin diseases, melanoma

5- Cosmetic procedures 

Beyond medical treatments, dermatologists are also trained in cosmetic dermatology, focusing on enhancing appearance and addressing aesthetic concerns. This includes procedures like:

1- Botox and fillers for wrinkles and volume loss

2- Laser treatments for pigmentation, scars, and rejuvenation

3- Chemical peels for smoother, brighter skin

4- Microneedling and regenerative therapies to boost collagen and skin health

5- Skin surgery like mole removal, cyst removal etc.

However, it’s important to note that some dermatologists exclusively practice medical dermatology, focusing solely on diagnosing and treating skin diseases without offering cosmetic services.

At Cutiscity, we connect you with both medical and cosmetic dermatology experts, so you can choose the right specialist based on your skin’s needs and your personal goals.

What Training Does a Dermatologist Have?

Becoming a dermatologist is not easy. It requires:

1- Medical Degree (MBBS/MD) 

6-7 years course.

2- Minimum 4 years of specialized residency training in dermatology

3-Board certification by relevant health authorities like DHA, MOHAP, DOH, or DHCC in the UAE

This extensive training ensures that dermatologists have the knowledge and expertise to manage both common and complex conditions effectively.
