|September 2022
Pressure from the entertainment and glamour industries and the corporate sector is driving the demand for qualified skin care specialists, aka dermatologists
-
According to industry estimates, aggregate annual expenditure on the skin and beauty care industry in India is currently $2,478 million (rs.19,576 crore per year) and increasing at a CAGR (compounded annual growth rate) of 15-20 percent. Pressure from the entertainment and glamour (movies, television, fashion) industries, and the corporate sector, for sleek well-groomed professionals, is driving the demand for qualified skin care specialists, aka dermatologists. Consequently with people of all ages and professional backgrounds anxious to look good, dermatology has transformed into a lucrative career option.
Dermatology is a branch of medicine which involves medical and surgical interventions. Dermatologists treat diseases as well as cosmetic problems of the skin, hair, scalp, and nails, with a new genre of young specialists foraying into cosmetic dermatology.
