Dermatology and Skin Care at Aventino Medical Group
What does dermatology treat?
The skin is our largest organ and plays a crucial role in protecting the body from external agents. However, it is also exposed to numerous risk factors that can compromise its health and appearance. Dermatology is the branch of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of skin, hair, and nail conditions, offering solutions for both functional and aesthetic concerns.
At Aventino Medical Group, our team of specialists offers a personalized approach, ensuring tailored treatments for every skin type while placing particular emphasis on prevention and early diagnosis. Additionally, our dermatologists also treat venereological conditions and perform minimally invasive surgical procedures on-site.

A dermatological consultation is recommended for various reasons, including:
- Mole monitoring and melanoma prevention
- Acne and chronic skin disorders (psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, eczema)
- Alopecia and hair loss
- Skin infections (bacterial, viral, fungal)
- Sun exposure-related issues (photoaging, actinic keratosis)
- Skin allergies and contact dermatitis

Our goal is not only to treat but also to educate patients on the best strategies to maintain healthy skin and prevent future issues.
