What is clinical dermatology?
Clinical dermatology focuses on diagnosing and treating medical conditions affecting skin, hair, and nails. It covers concerns like acne, allergies, infections, pigmentation, and chronic skin diseases. At Soma, Our team uses advanced, evidence-based methods to provide accurate diagnosis and safe treatments tailored to each patient’s needs.
How is clinical dermatology different from cosmetic dermatology?
Clinical dermatology deals with treating medical skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and infections, while cosmetic dermatology focuses on enhancing appearance through procedures like fillers and laser treatments. At Soma, both are available, ensuring patients get holistic care that addresses both health and aesthetics effectively.
Is clinical dermatology treatment painful?
Most treatments are minimally invasive and well-tolerated. Topical anesthetics or local numbing agents are used when required, ensuring patient comfort. Some mild discomfort may occur, depending on the procedure, but it is temporary. At Soma, patient safety and comfort are prioritized throughout the treatment process.
How long will it take to see results?
Results vary depending on the condition and treatment. Some issues like infections improve within days, while chronic concerns such as acne scars or pigmentation may require multiple sessions. With proper care and adherence to medical advice, patients can expect visible improvements within a few weeks.
Are the treatments safe for all skin types?

Using medically approved products and advanced techniques, we provide safe results for all skin types, minimizing potential side effects.
Do I need multiple sessions for treatment?
It depends on the skin concern. Conditions like warts may be treated in one session, while acne scars or pigmentation often require multiple sittings for best results. Your dermatologist will design a treatment plan that specifies session frequency, ensuring maximum effectiveness and long-term skin health.
Can I resume normal activities after treatment?
Most treatments allow patients to return to routine activities immediately. However, for certain procedures, mild redness, sensitivity, or downtime may occur. Dermatologists provide clear aftercare instructions to help patients recover quickly and safely, ensuring that daily routines are minimally affected after treatment.
