In the medical industry, dermatology is often labeled as a 'superficial' specialty, dealing primarily with the skin, hair, and nails. However, this perception couldn't be further from the truth. Dermatology, as it turns out, is a serious science and one that's gaining prominence in the world of medicine for its life-changing impact.

'For me, Aesthetic Dermatology became a focus when I saw how it impacted my patients' lives. Confidence, self-esteem, and socialization are all affected by some skin conditions like severe acne, eczemas, and dandruff, to name a few,' relates board-certified doctor Irene Gaile Robredo-Vitas, a fellow of the Philippine Dermatological Society.
