Chandigarh: The Indian Association of Dermatologists, Venereologists and Leprologists (IADVL), a professional body of dermatologists in India representing more than 17,000 specialists, has raised concerns over the increasing performance of dermatologic and aesthetic procedures by individuals without formal dermatology training.
Dr. Parmjit Singh Walia – President, IADVL Punjab, Himachal & Chandigarh Branch, said procedures such as laser treatments, injectables, dermatosurgery, and hair transplantation require specialized dermatological training and expertise in the diagnosis and management of skin, hair, and nail disorders. These competencies form an integral part of postgraduate medical education in Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprology, which is regulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC), he said.
The association stated that dermatologic and aesthetic procedures involve complex medical decision‑making, understanding of systemic diseases, and the ability to manage complications that may arise during treatment.
It that its position is guided primarily by concerns relating to public health, patient safety, and lawful medical practice. Dermatologic and aesthetic procedures require comprehensive knowledge of skin biology and dermatologic diseases, advanced training in cutaneous surgery and dermatosurgical techniques, and competence in managing medical and surgical complications.
