ADC Skin Care Hospital
At ADC Skin Hospital, Clinical dermatology is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of disorders and conditions affecting the skin, hair, and nails. Our certified dermatologists are experts in evaluating and caring for a wide range of skin-related issues, both common and complex. Clinical dermatology conditions include but not limited to:
Acne
A chronic skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes cysts or nodules. It is often associated with increased oil production, clogged pores, and bacterial overgrowth.
Eczema
A group of skin conditions that cause redness, itching, and inflammation. Atopic dermatitis is the most common form and often starts in childhood.
Psoriasis
A chronic autoimmune disease that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to thick, scaly patches on the skin's surface. It can also affect nails and joints.
Rosacea
A chronic skin disorder that causes facial redness, visible blood vessels, and pimple-like bumps. It often affects the central face and may be triggered by certain factors, like sunlight or spicy foods.
Dermatitis
An inflammatory skin reaction caused by contact with irritants (e.g., chemicals, soaps) or allergens (e.g., poison ivy, latex). It results in redness, itching, and sometimes blisters.
Urticaria
Raised, itchy welts on the skin that are typically caused by an allergic reaction to food, medications, or other triggers. They can vary in size and shape.
Fungal Infections
Common fungal skin infections include athlete's foot (tinea pedis), jock itch (tinea cruris), and ringworm (tinea corporis). These conditions are caused by different types of fungi.
Skin Allergies
Allergic reactions can cause various skin symptoms, including itching, redness, and hives. Common allergens include insect stings, certain foods, and latex.
Moles
Moles are benign skin growths that can be present at birth or develop over time. While most moles are harmless, some may need monitoring or removal due to their potential for turning cancerous (melanoma).
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer includes melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Early detection and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.
Warts
: Caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), warts are raised, rough growths on the skin or mucous membranes. Common types include common warts, plantar warts, and genital warts
Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) Infections
HSV can cause oral herpes (cold sores) and genital herpes. It results in painful, fluid-filled blisters in the affected area.
Cosmetic dermatology is a subspecialty of dermatology focused on improving the appearance of the skin, hair, and nails, as well as enhancing the overall aesthetics of an individual's appearance. Unlike clinical dermatology, which primarily addresses medical skin conditions and diseases, cosmetic dermatology primarily deals with elective and non-medical procedures aimed at enhancing one's appearance. Here's a brief description of cosmetic dermatology:
Anti-Aging Treatments
We offer various treatments to combat signs of aging, including wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin. These treatments may include Botox injections to relax muscles, dermal fillers to restore volume, and skin tightening procedures.
Laser Therapy
Laser and light-based treatments are used to address a wide range of cosmetic concerns, including skin resurfacing, hair removal, tattoo removal, and the treatment of vascular lesions and age spots.
Dermal Fillers
These injectable products are used to add volume to areas of the face, such as the cheeks and lips, to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Common fillers include hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane.
Scar Revision
Cosmetic dermatologists can help minimize the appearance of scars from surgeries, injuries, or acne through treatments like laser therapy and dermal fillers.
Cosmetic dermatology procedures are generally elective and focus on enhancing a person's appearance, self-confidence, and overall well-being.

Cosmetic lasers and lights refer to a category of medical devices used in cosmetic dermatology to address various skin concerns and improve the appearance of the skin. These technologies use specific wavelengths of light to target and treat specific skin conditions or imperfections. Here's a brief description of cosmetic lasers and lights and their applications
Skin Resurfacing
Cosmetic lasers are commonly used for skin resurfacing procedures. Fractional laser technology, such as fractional CO2 or fractional erbium lasers, creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and leading to smoother, more youthful skin. These lasers are effective for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage.
Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated laser energy to target and damage hair follicles, inhibiting hair growth. It's an effective and long-lasting solution for removing unwanted hair on various body areas.
Pigmentation and Sun Damage
Lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL) devices can target and break down pigmented areas on the skin, such as age spots, sun spots, freckles, and melasma. These treatments help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of pigment irregularities.
Vascular Lesions
Lasers and IPL devices can treat vascular lesions like spider veins, broken blood vessels, and port-wine stains by targeting the blood vessels responsible for the discoloration. This causes the blood vessels to collapse and gradually fade.
Tattoo Removal
Specialized laser systems, such as Q-switched lasers, can break down the ink particles in tattoos. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve complete tattoo removal.
Acne and Acne Scars
Lasers and light-based therapies can be used to treat active acne by reducing inflammation and targeting the sebaceous glands. They can also improve the appearance of acne scars by promoting collagen remodeling.
Skin Tightening
Non-ablative lasers and radiofrequency (RF) devices stimulate collagen production in the skin, leading to improved skin elasticity and a more youthful appearance. These treatments are used for mild to moderate skin laxity.
Laser-assisted Drug Delivery
Lasers can be used to enhance the delivery of topical medications or serums into the deeper layers of the skin, maximizing their effectiveness for various skin concerns.
Derma roller treatments, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, are minimally invasive cosmetic procedures that involve the use of a specialized device called a derma roller. This device consists of a cylindrical drum covered with tiny, fine needles. During the procedure, the derma roller is gently rolled over the skin's surface, creating numerous micro-injuries or punctures. Here's a brief description of derma roller treatments
Preparation
: Before the procedure, the skin is typically cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort.
Microneedling
The derma roller, equipped with fine needles, is rolled over the targeted area(s) of the skin. The needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface layers.
Stimulation of Collagen and Healing
The micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response. Collagen and elastin production is stimulated, leading to skin rejuvenation, improved texture, and increased elasticity.
Skin Rejuvenation
Derma roller treatments are effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. They can improve skin texture and overall complexion.
Acne Scar Reduction
Specialized laser systems, such as Q-switched lasers, can break down the ink particles in tattoos. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve complete tattoo removal.
Acne and Acne Scars
Microneedling can help diminish the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production and promoting skin remodeling.
Hyperpigmentation and Uneven Skin Tone
Compared to more invasive cosmetic procedures, derma roller treatments are minimally invasive and have a shorter recovery time.
Minimally Invasive
Lasers can be used to enhance the delivery of topical medications or serums into the deeper layers of the skin, maximizing their effectiveness for various skin concerns.
Recovery
: Dermatologists often recommend specific skincare products to use in conjunction with derma roller treatments to enhance results.
Skin Care Products

Sun Protection
It's essential to protect the skin from direct sunlight and use sunscreen to prevent post-treatment hyperpigmentation.
Multiple Sessions
Depending on the desired results and the skin concern being addressed, multiple derma roller sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a cutting-edge medical therapy that harnesses the natural healing properties found in a patient's own blood to promote tissue repair and regeneration. PRP is rich in platelets, growth factors, and other bioactive proteins that play a crucial role in the body's healing processes. It has gained popularity in various medical and cosmetic fields due to its potential to accelerate healing and improve tissue health. Here's a brief introduction to PRP therapy:
Blood Collection
The PRP procedure begins with the collection of a small amount of the patient's blood, typically from a vein in the arm.
Centrifugation
The collected blood is placed in a specialized machine called a centrifuge, which rapidly spins to separate its components. This process isolates the PRP layer, which contains a high concentration of platelets and growth factors.
Extraction
The PRP layer is carefully extracted and prepared for therapeutic use. It becomes a concentrated serum that is rich in the beneficial components needed for healing and tissue regeneration
Application
The prepared PRP is applied to the targeted area of the body, often through injections or topical applications. The growth factors and platelets in PRP stimulate cell growth, collagen production, and tissue repair.
Acne Scar Reduction
Specialized laser systems, such as Q-switched lasers, can break down the ink particles in tattoos. Multiple sessions are typically required to achieve complete tattoo removal.
