Skin specialists | dermatologist | skin care doctor | beautician
Are you confused with the terms above? Who do you see for your skin
problems? Should you see your regular GP doctor? Should you go to a beauty
centre?
It’s important to know when
to see a beautician and when to see a qualified medical doctor. My advice is
that if you have a skin related ‘problem’, then you should see your regular
medical doctor. If your doctor thinks that you require a referral to a skin
specialist or even to the hospital, your medical doctor would do so.
A dermatologist (skin specialist) is a qualified medical doctor who has received post-graduate training in skin diseases and treatments.
A word of advice to ladies or guys who are really keen of solving their skin problems is to see your skin specialist. If you are not sure who is a good skin specialist, you could seek advice from your regular medical doctor. The human skin is part of your body and sometimes the problem may be related to certain food or drugs that you are taking or external chemicals (e.g. make-up, cosmetics). Definitely, no amount of facial massage would solve that problem.

Guidelines soon to help women avoid bogus cosmetic surgeons
—BERNAMA
KUALA LUMPUR June 25 — The Health ministry will soon
issue guidelines to help women avoid beauty salons and other unqualified
practitioners when going for
cosmetic surgery.
"The government is really worried about this,” he told reporters after launching the Health Education and Health Awareness Campaign 2011 at the Mid Valley megamall here.
He said there were many beauty salons performing aesthetic work that they were not qualified to do, including cosmetic surgery.
"Beauty salons should only do beauty salon jobs. They should not do the aesthetic job. It”s a different job, “ he said. Beauty salons were not under the purview of the ministry, “but we can, under the Medical Act, stop them from doing aesthetic jobs,” Liow said.
He stressed that the ministry would take action against any beauty salon performing cosmetic surgery.
In a related development, Liow said that doctors conducting aesthetic surgery in clinics would be required to take a special course organised by the ministry.
The Director-General of Health has been instructed to issue a directive to this effect to doctors although the course schedule has yet to be finalised.
