Dermatology also includes aesthetic procedures designed to improve the appearance of the skin, such as anti-aging treatments and mole removal. Healthy skin is essential for overall well-being, and dermatologists play a key role in maintaining healthy, functional skin.

Dermatology Consultation
A dermatology consultation is an essential step in ruling out, diagnosing or monitoring a skin condition.
A dermatology consultation is useful for diagnosing and treating skin disorders such as dermatitis, eczema, urticaria, erythema, acne, psoriasis, vitiligo and disorders affecting the skin appendages (hair and nails). It is also used to monitor the progression of a previously diagnosed skin condition.

Follow-up Dermatology Consultation
A follow-up dermatology consultation is carried out after a period of time determined by the specialist. It is a shorter visit focused on the condition previously diagnosed, with the aim of assessing whether the disease has completely or partially resolved, or whether there has been an improvement in the patient’s clinical condition.

Allergy Consultation with Allergy Testing
An allergy consultation is performed to evaluate whether symptoms may be allergy-related, to determine the most appropriate diagnostic tests and to recommend the most suitable treatment.
The consultation may include skin prick testing, which evaluates allergic reactions to a range of substances, including foods, insect venom, milk, dust and dust mites, pollens, animal dander and medications.
Prick tests help diagnose allergies to one or more substances. Their primary purpose is to accurately identify the allergens responsible for the allergic reaction, enabling patients to adopt appropriate dietary and lifestyle measures to avoid exposure. The diagnosis also allows the specialist to plan therapeutic strategies, including desensitization treatments when appropriate, and prescribe medications to effectively control symptoms.
