Dermatology specialists perform a wide range of procedures in the diagnosis and treatment of many different diseases and conditions affecting the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. Both medical and cosmetic procedures fall within the scope of their expertise.

Some commonly performed procedures by dermatology specialists:

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Procedures
Skin Biopsy: A tissue sample is taken from a lesion on the skin to diagnose skin diseases and examined under a microscope. Various biopsy techniques (punch biopsy, excisional biopsy, incisional biopsy, etc.) may be used.
Electrocauterization: A procedure in which certain skin lesions such as skin tags, warts, and seborrheic keratoses are removed by burning using electrical current.
Cryotherapy: A treatment method where skin lesions like warts and actinic keratoses are frozen using liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic gases.
Curettage: A procedure where certain skin lesions (e.g., seborrheic keratoses) are scraped off using a special instrument called a curette.
Laser Treatment: Various laser devices are used to treat many skin problems such as pigmentation spots, vascular lesions, warts, and skin tags. The wavelength and energy of the laser are adjusted based on the target tissue.
Microscopic Examination and Culture: Samples such as skin scrapings, hair, or nails are examined under a microscope, and cultures are taken to diagnose infections like fungal or bacterial conditions.
Allergy Testing: Patch testing (to identify allergens in contact dermatitis) and skin prick testing (to identify respiratory and food allergens) are used to determine the causes of allergic skin reactions.

Cosmetic Dermatology Procedures
Botulinum Toxin (Botox) Injections: Used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by decreasing facial muscle activity and to treat excessive sweating.
Filler Injections: Performed using fillers like hyaluronic acid to restore volume loss in the skin, fill wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Lip fillers are also included in this category.
