Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Clinical Dermatology: Diagnosis and Management of Common Disorders, 2e AB - With regard to aesthetic issues, dermatologists have an important role in guiding their patients and can offer a wide variety of treatment modalities for skin rejuvenation and restoration. Furthermore, many patients with diseases of the skin are understandably concerned about the potential long-lasting effects on their appearance. Understanding the range of options available and the potential treatment outcomes is an important component of helping these patients reach a desired outcome. Moreover, cosmetic treatments can improve a person's self-image and, by extension, quality of life. When our patients feel comfortable with their bodies, they project self-confidence that others pick up on, which may lead to social and economic benefits.
