Dermatology & Venereology
HFH’s Department of Dermatology & Venereology is operated by a team of local and international specialists who are specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails, as well as Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs).
Dermatologists at HFH have the expertise and equipment to treat a comprehensive range of skin diseases and disorders from common allergies, skin infections, acne and eczema, to serious autoimmune disorders and cancer.
HFH’s Dermatology Department also offers treatments and modern technology to enhance skin and hair appearance including anti-aging therapies.
Hair Loss (alopecia)
There are multiple causes of hair loss and a correct diagnosis is crucial. Androgenic alopecia, which is the most common balding process, is caused by miniaturization (shrinking) of the hair follicles. Treatments are available to stop or reverse this process. The best treatment for androgenic alopecia is hair transplant.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD)
HFH’s Dermatology Department also offers extensive tests, treatments and counseling for Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs).
Most skin disorders are treated on an out-patient basis, including:
- Psoriasis.
- Dyshidrosis (excessive sweating of hands and feet).
- Acne.
- Infectious dermatosis (bacterial, viral and fungal).
- Skin tumors.
- Allergies, in collaboration with pneumologists.
The Department is equipped with a PUVA therapy cabin and ionophoresis machine for the treatment of excessive sweating.
Our dermatologists collaborate with the National Institute of Dermatology and Venereology in Hanoi, and the Federation of Dermatology and Venereology of France.
