WHAT IS A DERMAL CLINICIAN?
Dermal Clinicians specialise in the area of skin integrity management and non-surgical treatments to assist with acute and chronic skin conditions, disorders and diseases. With extensive skin biology, anatomy and physiology knowledge, Dermal Clinicians also understand the lymphatic, cardiovascular and endocrine systems and how the integumentary system can be impacted. Most importantly, Dermal Clinicians can assess and manage risks associated with tissue interactions and advanced therapies to ensure treatments are effective and safe for consumers.
As a full member of the ASDC, a Dermal Clinician has studied a university Bachelor degree (equivalent of 3-4 years) speciaising in the study of Dermal Science and practice of Dermal Therapies.
A consumer does not need a referral to see a Dermal Clinician, however many patients will often have been referred by other health and medical professionals such as Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists, Endocrinologists, GPs and nurses. This collaborative approach ensures patients receive specialist advice and treatment resulting in optimum clinical outcomes.
