In 2004, she successfully defended her doctoral thesis in medicine, receiving honors and accolades from the jury panel.

By 2005, she had relocated to Paris to further enhance and refine her training at Henri Mondor Hospital. During her residency at the Parisian hospitals and her two-year internship, she was able to expand her expertise. 

Her time in France proved instrumental in advancing her understanding of aesthetic medicine. She pursued and attained an inter-university degree in aesthetic dermatology, laser dermatology, and cosmetology, complemented by hands-on internships in various esteemed Parisian clinics.

In 2006, she triumphed in the final examination of her chosen specialty, marking the culmination of her dermatological training. This achievement was followed by her success in the national dermatology assistantship examination in 2007. 

Subsequently, she joined the dermatology team at Charles Nicolle Hospital in Tunis, embarking on a hospital-university career that spanned six productive years. 

Throughout this duration, she honed her skills, engaged in and led numerous scientific research endeavors, guided numerous medical students and dermatology residents, supervised medical doctoral theses, and contributed to teachings at the Faculty of Medicine in Tunis.

Furthermore, Dr. Dora Baccouche holds membership in the Tunisian Society of Dermatology (STDV) and the Tunisian Laser Group. In 2012, she served as the deputy secretary general of the latter group for a term.

Driven by a desire for autonomy, she initiated a private practice in 2012, swiftly earning a reputation for her meticulousness and innate artistry.

To remain current with the latest scientific advancements and therapeutic methodologies, she actively participates in various international conferences and workshops. These events offer her a platform to exchange experiences and insights with her peers.

Always at the vanguard of innovative techniques, she ensures her patients have access to state-of-the-art methods and cutting-edge equipment.
