60% of the UK population will be affected by a dermatological issue at some point in their lifetime. Dermatology is an area of healthcare that affects the majority of the UK, and yet the number of dermatologists in the UK is lower than other countries on a per capita basis. This has led to the introduction of services such as Teledermatology to help cope with the level of demand.

On this basis the UK dermatology market warrants exploration. In our Rare: Provider stats report, we look at the treatments offered by regulated private providers that are offering Advanced Dermatology treatments. The report takes the latest data we have in Rare Monitor, which is profiling over 86,000 health, beauty and wellness providers in the UK, including those that are part of the CQC, HIS, CIW and RQIA registers.

Advanced dermatology treatments covered for the purpose of this report are limited to the following:
