A dermatologist is a medical doctor who diagnoses and treats skin conditions, performs medical procedures, and can prescribe medication. An aesthetician is a licensed skincare professional who provides cosmetic skin treatments like facials, microdermabrasion, and waxing, but cannot diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medicine.
