LGBTQ+ Dermatology FAQs

  • What is LGBTQ+ dermatology?

    Alma TED is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment. When used with a topical Hair Care Formula, it promotes improved blood flow to the scalp which results in thicker, stronger hair. It offers these benefits without the discomfort and shedding often experienced with other in-office hair treatments and procedures.

  • Do transgender people need special skin care?

    Yes, because hormone therapy, surgery, and lifestyle changes can all affect the skin. Testosterone may cause acne and thicker skin, while estrogen can lead to dryness or pigment changes. Dermatologists experienced in transgender care can tailor treatments safely to your transition goals and hormone plan.

  • Can dermatologists help with gender-affirming cosmetic procedures?

    Alma TED is a quick, 20–25 minute treatment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your scalp to personalize the best treatment for you. You’ll notice improvements as early as one month following your first treatment, but additional treatments may be recommended for optimal results.

  • Is it safe to talk to a dermatologist about private or genital skin concerns?

    Yes. Dermatologists are trained to handle sensitive conditions like genital warts, molluscum, or STI-related lesions with full discretion and without judgment. Clinics specializing in LGBTQ+ care provide a private, affirming environment for these conversations.

  • How can LGBTQ+ patients find an affirming dermatologist?

    Look for practices that use inclusive intake forms, display nondiscrimination statements, and mention LGBTQ+ or gender-affirming services on their website. Reading verified patient reviews can also help confirm whether the office has experience with diverse identities and needs.
