BACKGROUND
The subjective benefit of attendance at cosmetic clinics has not previously been reported.
OBJECTIVES
To assess the effect on perceived quality of life (QoL) of cosmetic camouflage advice.
METHODS
In a three-centre study, 135 individuals were invited to complete a dermatology-specific QoL measure, the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), before and 1 month after their first visit to a cosmetic camouflage clinic.
RESULTS
Eighty-two completed DLQI questionnaires were returned before the camouflage clinic appointment, and 56 corresponding questionnaires were returned 1 month after. The mean age of responders was 50 years, and the mean duration of their skin conditions was 15 years. The main conditions seen were pigmentary disorders (29%), scars (22%) and vascular disorders (13%). There was a significant difference in mean DLQI scores before and after the clinic visit (9.1 vs. 5.8, P = 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS
When assessed at 1 month, attendance at a cosmetic camouflage clinic appears to improve QoL significantly.
背景
此前尚未报道过前往美容诊所就诊的主观益处。
目的
评估美容遮瑕建议对感知生活质量（QoL）的影响。
方法
在一项三中心研究中，135名个体受邀在首次前往美容遮瑕诊所就诊前及就诊后1个月完成一项皮肤病专用生活质量测量工具，即皮肤病生活质量指数（DLQI）。
结果
在遮瑕诊所预约就诊前，82份DLQI问卷被收回，1个月后收回了56份相应问卷。应答者的平均年龄为50岁，其皮肤问题的平均持续时间为15年。所见主要病症为色素沉着紊乱（29%）、瘢痕（22%）和血管性病症（13%）。就诊前后DLQI平均得分存在显著差异（9.1对5.8，P = 0.0001）。
结论
在1个月时进行评估，前往美容遮瑕诊所就诊似乎能显著改善生活质量。
