T2  - Cosmetic Dermatology for Skin of Color
AB  - Based  on  the  United  States  2000  census  data,  it  is  estimated  that  50%  of  the  population  will  be  comprised  of  persons  of  color  by  2050.1  Ethnic  skin,  also  referred  to  as  skin  of  color,  is  primarily  composed  of  Fitzpatrick  skin  types  IV-VI  and  encompasses  many  racial  and  ethnic  groups,  including  but  not  limited  to  African  Americans,  Asians,  Hispanics,  and  Native  Americans.  Cosmetic  procedures  have  become  increasingly  popular  among  these  darker-skinned  racial  and  ethnic  groups.  However,  currently  the  majority  of  the  cosmetic  surgical  literature  is  limited  to  the  treatment  of  nonethnic  skin.
