Our Dermatology Services

Our dermatology team manages a wide range of conditions, from common to more complex cases:

  • Anti-Aging
    We work to gradually enhance the quality of your skin. We do not try to change the way you look. We select our treatments according to your skin type, lifestyle, and demands. We prefer long-term results over short-term changes.
  • Atopic Dermatitis
    It is a skin disease common among young children. It may interfere with the child's sleep because of the itchy feeling. We offer atopic dermatitis treatment. We also offer advice to parents of children with atopic dermatitis.
  • Skin Polishing Treatment
    For patients concerned about dull or uneven skin, we offer treatment for skin polishing, which gently improves texture and brightness over time. These procedures are commonly chosen by young adults, especially when preparing for important life events or addressing early skin damage.
  • Eczema
    Eczema can be long-standing and may worsen with weather changes, stress, or irritants. We provide practical treatment plans that patients can follow at home, with clear advice on moisturization, medication use, and preventing repeated flare-ups.
  • Acne
    From occasional breakouts to more severe, scarring acne, we tailor treatment based on severity and skin response. Many patients come after trying multiple remedies, so we focus on structured care that gradually brings the condition under control.
  • Psoriasis Care
    Psoriasis is a condition that needs care and attention. We help our clients understand the condition and how it affects them. We also help them manage their condition and change their medication as they progress to keep them comfortable and minimize flare-ups.
  • Elimination of Unwanted Body Hair
    We help clients get rid of unwanted body hair using controlled methods. We tailor each client's plan according to their skin sensitivity and hair type. We aim for effective results without damaging the skin.
  • Fungal Infection
    Fungal infections are prevalent in this climate. We help clients get rid of fungal infections completely and prevent future occurrences. We also help clients prevent future occurrences, especially if they come from families where this is common.
  • Pigmentation Disorder Management
    Pigmentation disorders, such as melasma and skin injury marks, can be quite discouraging and hard to treat. We help clients understand how long it takes for their condition to improve and how they can make it look more normal.

Advanced Dermatology Diagnostics & Treatments

At UMC Victoria Hospitals, we use modern diagnostic tools to ensure accurate treatment:

  • Dermatoscopy for detailed skin examination
  • Skin biopsy for complex conditions
  • Laser treatments for skin rejuvenation
  • Cryotherapy and minor surgical procedures

Our dermatology unit follows strict infection control protocols, ensuring patient safety at every stage of treatment.
