Institute of Dermatologists®
Specialist Registered Consultant Dermatologists:
Experts in Medical and Cosmetic Dermatology

The Institute of Dermatologists® is a patient-centric, world-class Institute of Dermatology where patients are treated by experts in Medical and Cosmetic Dermatology with expertise in all facets of Dermatology.
The Institute was founded in 2019 by two Consultant Dermatologists, Professor Caitriona Ryan and Dr Nicola Ralph. Their mission was to deliver excellence in Medical and Cosmetic Dermatologic care by Specialist Registered, Consultant Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons in a state-of-the-art Dermatology facility. Unfortunately, there are several doctors in Ireland who call themselves Dermatologists, Cosmetic Dermatologists and Skin Specialists who have no formal Specialist training in Dermatology. At the Institute of Dermatologists® we strive to safeguard the very highest standards in Dermatology. We have a team of leading Consultant Dermatologists who are experts across all fields of Medical and Cosmetic Dermatology. It is a centre of excellence for acne, rosacea, melanoma, skin cancer, psoriasis, eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, hair loss, connective tissue disease, pigmentary disorders and Cosmetic Dermatology.
We offer the most up-to-date in cosmetic procedures, laser and aesthetic skin care options for our patients in a luxurious, comfortable environment to provide the ultimate cosmetic dermatologic experience for our patients. All anti-wrinkle and dermal filler injections are performed by Consultant Dermatologists and Plastic Surgeons only. We have a great diversity of laser treatments and minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, microneedling, and Ultherapy for advanced skin rejuvenation. ZLipo and ZWave are the most advanced new non-surgical technology for fat reduction, body contouring and the treatment of cellulite. The Institute stocks a comprehensive range of the most effective and scientifically-proven skin care products that will help restore and maintain your youthful skin. We customise these skin care treatment options based on an individual’s cosmetic needs to achieve the utmost in skin health.
Our institute is fully equipped with a highly trained team of experts, up-to-date technology, and most importantly, the extensive dermatological experience needed to achieve excellence in Dermatology. We strive to provide a welcoming, elegant and professional atmosphere where our patients obtain exceptional dermatologic care.
