The Dermatologists industry has increasingly expanded into cosmetic dermatology, with more dermatologists offering anti-aging procedures such as dermabrasion, laser treatments, dermoscopy and Botox. These treatments have proven to be a high-growth sector for the industry and have contributed to the industry's consistently high profit margins. Dermatologists tend to locate in urban areas, close to hospitals and education centers. Key statistics on dermatologists and plastic surgeons and their market in the United States as of 2012. There were 9,641 practicing dermatologists in the United States.
