Dermatologic surgery is a specialized branch of dermatology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of both medically necessary and cosmetic conditions affecting the skin, hair, nails, veins, mucous membranes, and adjacent tissues. It encompasses a wide range of surgical, reconstructive, cosmetic, and non-surgical procedures designed to restore function and enhance the appearance of skin and related structures.

Driven by ongoing research, clinical advancements, and cutting-edge instrumentation, most dermatologic surgical procedures today are minimally invasive and performed under local or regional anesthesia. This ensures a high level of patient safety while significantly reducing discomfort, recovery time, and post-procedure downtime. Continuous innovation and refined techniques further improve outcomes, making treatments more precise, effective, and predictable.

Common dermatologic surgery procedures include anti-aging treatments, injectable and implantable soft-tissue fillers, botulinum toxin therapy, acne scar correction, chemical peels, tumescent liposuction, vein treatments, hair restoration, laser surgery, skin cancer management, and reconstructive flaps and grafts. Together, these procedures reflect the comprehensive scope of dermatosurgery in delivering both therapeutic excellence and aesthetic enhancement.
