Dermatology A to Z |
|
|
|
Dermatology
is a branch of medicine dealing with the skin and its appendages
(hair, nails, sweat glands etc). |

The skin serves as our protective shield against heat, light, injury, and infection.
It also regulates body temperature, stores water and fat, prevents water loss, and
is a sensory organ that can signal danger.
Therefore, when the skin is not functioning properly, the effects are likely to
be immediately apparent, uncomfortable, and often unsightly. When left untreated,
they can even be life-threatening.
A remarkable variety of conditions can affect this crucial organ, and they are discussed
in detail in this section. If you'd like to learn more about a particular illness,
or perhaps just read up on skin care , our Health A to
Z directory offers easy-to-understand information on a wide range of dermatological
topics. The information provided here
acts as a reference and in no way substitutes given to you by your doctor. |

men and women benefit from the results of the service they receive and the expertise
provided by world-class faculty.
Cosmetic treatments are effective and safe in the hands of skilled physicians, surgeons
and other trained medical professionals. Treatments usually last less than thirty
minutes and patients can resume their normal activities immediately following a
treatment. However, no medical treatment is risk-free. The indications, alternative
treatments, results, risks, and complications should be discussed in a consultation
with one of our physicians prior to any treatment. |
