Dermatology is a consultative specialty which is primarily outpatient-based. Along with patient consultations, dermatologists often perform a number of procedures in this setting such as biopsies, cryotherapy and removal of skin lesions. Clinics may also be equipped to deliver laser and light therapies and in some cases a range of cosmetic treatments.
