Dermatologists utilize various diagnostic tools and treatments, including dermatologic surgery, laser therapy, medications, and topical treatments, to provide comprehensive care for their patients. They play a crucial role in promoting skin health, early detection of skin cancers, and improving the appearance and function of the skin through personalized treatment plans and patient education.
