Dr Chung King Lueh's MSc Aesthetic Medicine & MSc Dermatology Course Overview & Case Studies
A doctor who holds three MSc degrees—in Dermatology, Aesthetic Medicine, and Child Health—brings an extraordinary blend of expertise that offers distinct advantages over traditional dermatology training or plastic surgery training, especially when performing mole or birthmark removal in children. This rare combination allows for a medically safe, aesthetically refined, and developmentally sensitive approach to treatment.
Provides deep knowledge of skin anatomy, pathology, and disease processes.
Enables accurate differentiation between benign and malignant lesions—critical in children, where birthmarks may mimic skin disorders.
Ensures safe treatment planning with consideration of skin type, healing response, and long-term outcomes.
Traditional dermatology training may diagnose well but often lack surgical finesse or aesthetic sensitivity.
Trains doctors in advanced non-surgical and minor surgical techniques such as:
Laser mole removal
Elliptical excision with aesthetic closure
Scar-minimizing suturing techniques
Emphasizes facial symmetry, proportion, and cosmetic outcomes—especially important for visible lesions on the face or limbs.
Includes medicolegal and psychological training to ensure ethical, patient-centered care.
Traditional plastic surgery training provides good skills in major operations but often undervalue or lack experience in subtle, low-risk procedures like mole removal.
Equips the doctor with knowledge of child development, pediatric pharmacology, and communication strategies.
Ensures procedures are tailored to a child’s age, emotional needs, and healing capacity.
Builds trust with families through clear explanations, gentle handling, and age-appropriate care.
Traditional dermatology and plastic surgery training lack formal pediatric training, which can lead to miscommunication or inappropriate treatment choices for young patients.
Feature Triple MSc training/qualification vs Traditional Dermatology training vs Traditional Plastic Surgery training
Skin Diagnosis Accuracy ✅ Advanced ✅ Strong ⚠️ Limited
Cosmetic Technique Proficiency ✅ Expert in lasers, sutures, and scar prevention ⚠️ Basic or absent ✅ Skilled but focused on major surgery
Child-Specific Knowledge ✅ Specialized in pediatric care ⚠️ Minimal ❌ Rarely trained
Minimally Invasive Options ✅ Prioritizes low-risk, outpatient procedures ⚠️ May refer out ⚠️ May prefer surgical solutions
Family Communication ✅ Empathetic and developmentally aware ⚠️ Clinical focus ⚠️ Procedural focus
Imagine a 8-year-old with a raised mole on the cheek. Here's how each separate specialty training might offer to the patient:
Traditional Dermatology training: May diagnose accurately but refer the child to a surgeon due to lack of procedural training.
Traditional Plastic Surgery training: May undervalue or lack experience in subtle, low-risk procedures. Some may offer excision of small mole under general anesthesia, risking scarring and unnecessary complexity.
Triple MSc Doctor: Can assess the mole medically, remove it using laser or minor excision with aesthetic closure, and communicate with the child and parents in a reassuring, age-appropriate manner.
This kind of doctors doesn’t just remove the mole—they preserve the child’s skin integrity, emotional comfort, and long-term appearance.
