Depending on your individual skin concerns you may require either medical or cosmetic dermatology in Washington DC.
However, it can be confusing to figure out which service you need in order to determine the kind of doctor you should be seeking out.
What Is Cosmetic Dermatology?
A cosmetic dermatologist is someone who treats patients for aesthetic reasons such as wrinkles, sagging skin, discoloration and volume loss.
This is generally the person you would see for Botox injections, microneedling or anti-aging skincare products.
What Is Medical Dermatology?
A medical dermatologist will generally be more focused on the health of your skin to address any injuries or medical concerns such as skin cancer.
You would generally see a medical dermatologist for annual skin cancer checks, acne or mole removal.
