Racial genetics play a significant role in determining a patient's response to any skin treatment. Contrary to traditional skin classifications, the new genetico-racial classification takes into consideration the racial origins of patients, as manifested in both their skin color and their feature contour characteristics, rather than their skin color alone. According to this new classification, patients may belong to 1 of 6 categories, originating from the 3 ancient continents: Africa, Europe, and Asia. In this article the Asian category, as well as its subcategories, are approached in a radically different way. This new geneticoracial classification ushers in a "paradigm shift" in the way Asian patients are perceived before, during, and after skin treatments. The new geneticoracial classification advances that Asians are excellent candidates to most peels and laser treatments, as long as their genetic disposition and their anticipated responses to those treatments are understood and respected.
种族遗传学在决定患者对任何皮肤治疗的反应中起着重要作用。与传统的皮肤分类不同，新的基因种族分类考虑了患者的种族起源，这体现在他们的肤色和面部轮廓特征上，而不仅仅是肤色。根据这种新分类，患者可能属于源自3个古代大陆（非洲、欧洲和亚洲）的6个类别之一。在本文中，亚洲类别及其子类别将以截然不同的方式进行探讨。这种新的基因种族分类在亚洲患者接受皮肤治疗前、治疗期间和治疗后的认知方式上带来了“范式转变”。新的基因种族分类表明，只要了解并尊重亚洲人的遗传倾向以及他们对这些治疗的预期反应，亚洲人就是大多数皮肤剥脱术和激光治疗的理想人选。
