T2  - Cosmetic Dermatology for Skin of Color
AB  - People  of  color  are  increasingly  seeking  out  products  and  procedures  to  fight  the  effects  of  aging,  including  surgical  and  nonsurgical  cosmetic  procedures.  In  fact,  a  survey  by  the  American  Society  for  Aesthetic  Plastic  Surgery  (ASAPS)  found  that  cosmetic  procedures  performed  on  racial  and  ethnic  minorities  represented  22%  of  the  11.5  million  surgical  and  nonsurgical  cosmetic  procedures  performed  in  the  United  States  in  2006.1  According  to  the  survey,  this  market  segment  consisted  of  Hispanics  (10%),  African  Americans  (6%),  Asians  (5%),  and  other  non-Caucasian  individuals  (1%).  In  addition,  racial  and  ethnic  minorities  had  a  2%  increase  in  cosmetic  procedures  from  2005  and  are  among  the  fastest  growing  segment  of  the  cosmetic  procedures  market.  Consequently,  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  aging  process  in  ethnic  skin  and  nonsurgical  treatment  options  for  patients  of  color  is  required  of  dermatologists  and  cosmetic  surgeons  who  will  treat  these  patients.
