This commentary examines the recent general movement in the field of cosmetic dermatology toward imitation and reproduction. The issues of medical spas, nonphysician operators, and counterfeit products have recently garnered interest in aesthetic dermatology. As physicians, it is our professional and bioethical responsibility to ensure that our patients are educated on the presence of medical spas, nonphysician operators, and counterfeit products in our field, especially given the discrepancies in patient safety and outcomes. There are also actions that dermatologists can take in order to help differentiate themselves in this current market. This will not only protect our field, but also our patients, who we are obligated to provide high-quality care for as physicians.
