    HI
    I think cosmetology is much in demand as compared to dermatology because more and more people nowadays are beauty conscious and spend lot of money on the same while there are lesser number of people who suffers from any disease relating to skin,hair, nail etc

    I believe the basic difference is that dermatologist is a health expert and comes into picture when you suffer from any illness and a cosmetologist is a beauty professional which has nothing to do with illness

    Dermatologist is required to have working experience of basic surgery, rheumatology, neurology, and endocrinology. Today, Dermatology is becoming one of the best fields in cosmetic surgery and also in India, it is aggressively coming up in the field of Medical science.
