AB  - Any  discussion  of  the  practice  of  cosmetic  dermatology  must  include  a  discussion  of  acne.  Although  acne  is  not  typically  considered  to  be  a  “cosmetic”  problem,  its  highly  visible  nature  makes  it  a  very  common  complaint  among  cosmetic  patients  who  are  by  definition  concerned  about  their  appearance.  Acne  can  often  have  a  profound  psychological  impact  on  patients.  Recently,  an  evaluation  of  the  psychosocial  implications  of  acne  on  self-image  and  quality  of  life  found  that  it  may  be  equivalent  to  disorders  such  as  asthma  or  epilepsy.1  Acne  can  be  especially  troublesome  to  adults  who  perceive  themselves  as  too  old  to  have  this  condition  most  often  associated  with  adolescence.
