Dermatology Treatments & Procedures

Treatment is selected according to the diagnosis, severity of the condition, patient's age, medical history and response to previous treatment.

• Medical Dermatology
  Treatment may involve prescription creams, ointments, oral medicines or combination therapies for conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, infections, allergies and other skin disorders.
  For selected chronic conditions, advanced therapies may be considered when clinically appropriate.
• Intralesional Treatments
  Targeted injections may be used for selected dermatological conditions such as keloids, alopecia areata and certain inflammatory or scar-related conditions.
• Cryotherapy
  Controlled freezing treatment may be used for selected benign skin lesions, including certain warts and other superficial growths.
• Electrocautery & Radiofrequency Procedures
  Selected benign skin lesions may be treated using electrocautery or radiofrequency-based techniques following appropriate clinical assessment.
• Dermatological Surgery
  Minor dermatological surgical procedures may include punch and excisional biopsies, removal of selected cysts and benign skin growths, selected nail procedures, and other minor skin surgeries where clinically indicated.
• Nail Procedures
  Certain nail conditions may require procedures such as partial or complete nail removal and, in selected cases, treatment directed at the nail matrix.
• Chemical Peels
  Clinically selected chemical peels may be used for certain acne, pigmentation and skin-texture concerns. The type and strength of peel are determined according to the patient's skin and treatment requirement.
• Microdermabrasion
  Selected patients may be considered for microdermabrasion to support improvement in superficial skin texture and certain cosmetic skin concerns.
• Phototherapy
  Phototherapy may be recommended for selected conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo and certain forms of eczema when other treatment approaches or clinical circumstances indicate its use.
