Many claim expertise in skin care. Some are physicians with training in other fields, others are not at all.
Dermatologists are the experts in skin care, as they study 3-4 years of skin anatomy, its diseases and their solutions, including treatments of aging skin and its imperfections. Most studies that advanced cosmetic dermatology as we know it today, were brought by dermatologists.
Did you know that, according to the Lebanese law, only four specialties are permitted to perform cosmetic procedures? They are: Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Otolaryngology and Maxillo-facial Surgery
Cosmetic medical procedures are being taught on social media and commercial conferences without any real foundation. Many practitioners brag about diplomas that are worth little. On the other hand, dermatology training is your assurance of science-based solutions, safe and ethical delivery, and beautiful long term results.
Beware of pretenders. Trust only dermatologists, the true experts for your skin care.
