What is a Dermatologist?

A dermatologist is a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of skin conditions, such as acne, aging skin, atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, rosacea, and skin cancer. Many dermatologists also perform cosmetic procedures, such as botulinum toxin (Botox), dermal fillers (Restylane) and laser resurfacing, to maintain a youthful appearance.

Professional Dermatology Organizations

The American Academy of Dermatology is the largest, most influential and most representative of all dermatologic associations. With a membership of over 16,000, it represents virtually all practicing dermatologists in the United States. The Academy is committed to excellence in patient care, medical and public education, research, professionalism and member service and support.

The American Society for Dermatologic Surgery represents 4,700 dermatologists that are trained to treat skin and soft tissue with both medically necessary and cosmetic surgical and non-surgical methods.

Dermatology Specialties

Cosmetic dermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology. Many dermatologists are trained during their residency on the use of Botox, dermal fillers, and laser surgery. Others obtain additional training by completing a fellowship in surgical dermatology. Most dermatologists limit their cosmetic practice to minimally invasive procedures, but others may perform minor cosmetic procedures, such as liposuction, blepharoplasty, and face lifts.

A dermatopathologist is a pathologist who specializes in the pathology of skin. Skin biopsies are sent to a dermatopathologist for microscopic examination and other tests.

Mohs Surgeons are dermatologists who have gained additional training in Mohs Surgery. Mohs Surgery focuses on the excision of skin cancers using a tissue-sparing technique that allows assessment of the tumor and its removal during the procedure.

Pediatric Dermatologists are dermatologists who have completed training in pediatrics and dermatology. They tend to focus on the complex skin diseases of newborns, hereditary skin diseases, and common pediatric skin conditions, such as atopic dermatitis, and hemangiomas.
