The Ultimate Guide to Medical vs Cosmetic Dermatology
Understanding the difference between medical and cosmetic dermatology can help you make informed decisions about your skin health. At OSVI Dermatology & Surgery Institute, we offer both—allowing patients across Covina, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, and Tustin to receive comprehensive care in one place.
What Is Medical Dermatology
Medical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating skin conditions such as:
Acne
Eczema
Psoriasis
Skin cancer
These treatments are essential for maintaining your overall health and are often covered by insurance.
What Is Cosmetic Dermatology
Cosmetic dermatology enhances the appearance of your skin through treatments like:
Botox and fillers
Laser treatments
Chemical peels
Skin rejuvenation procedures
These services are typically elective and designed to improve confidence and appearance.
Why You Need Both
Many patients benefit from a combination of medical and cosmetic treatments. For example, treating acne medically while addressing scarring cosmetically delivers optimal results.
