Dr. Haitham Al-Gzlan's Areas of Dermatology Expertise
Medical Dermatology
Medical dermatology focuses on conditions affecting the skin, hair, and scalp.
Dr. Haitham evaluates a range of dermatological concerns, including acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, pigmentation, acne scars, and other skin conditions that may require professional assessment and treatment.
The appropriate approach depends on the nature of the condition, its severity, the patient’s medical history, and other individual factors.
Aesthetic Dermatology
Aesthetic dermatology addresses concerns involving facial appearance, skin quality, pigmentation, texture, and visible signs of ageing.
Dr. Haitham considers facial anatomy, skin condition, individual goals, and treatment suitability when developing an aesthetic treatment plan.
The focus is on selecting an appropriate approach for the individual rather than assuming that the same procedure is suitable for every patient.
Laser Dermatology
Laser and light-based dermatology can be used for selected skin concerns, including pigmentation, redness, acne scars, skin texture, resurfacing, and rejuvenation.
The appropriate technology depends on factors such as skin type, the condition being treated, treatment area, and the intended clinical objective.
Hair and Scalp Care
Hair loss and hair thinning can have different causes and patterns, which is why assessment is an important part of treatment planning.
Dr. Haitham evaluates hair and scalp concerns before considering appropriate medical, regenerative, or hair-restoration approaches.
His hair and scalp focus includes concerns such as hair thinning, hair loss, scalp conditions, and selected hair restoration needs.
Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation focuses on aspects of skin quality such as texture, tone, firmness, and overall appearance.
Depending on the patient’s concern, treatment planning may include approaches such as PRP skin rejuvenation, microneedling, laser treatments, or other appropriate procedures.
Facial Aesthetics
Facial aesthetic treatment involves more than selecting an individual procedure.
Dr. Haitham considers facial anatomy, proportion, balance, skin quality, and the patient’s goals when determining whether an aesthetic treatment may be appropriate.
Dr. Haitham's Approach to Patient Care
Assessment Before Treatment
A patient does not always need to know which procedure they need before seeing a dermatologist.
Concerns such as pigmentation, acne scars, hair loss, wrinkles, and changes in skin texture can have different causes and may require different treatment approaches.
For this reason, assessment is an important first step before determining which treatment options may be suitable.
Individualized Treatment Planning
Every patient has different skin, hair, medical history, anatomy, expectations, and treatment goals.
Dr. Haitham therefore develops treatment recommendations according to the individual rather than applying one fixed protocol to every patient.
Depending on the concern, the appropriate plan may involve medical management, a procedure, a combination of treatments, or further evaluation.
A Medical and Aesthetic Perspective
Aesthetic concerns should still be approached with an understanding of dermatology and skin health.
Whether the goal involves treating a skin condition, improving skin quality, addressing signs of ageing, managing hair loss, or considering a facial aesthetic treatment, the underlying condition and individual circumstances remain important parts of treatment planning.
Realistic Expectations
Dermatological and aesthetic treatments can produce different responses from one patient to another.
Individual outcomes may depend on factors such as the condition being treated, skin type, treatment method, number of sessions, aftercare, and individual response.
For this reason, treatment recommendations should be based on professional assessment rather than promises of a specific result.
