Patient expectations in cosmetic dermatology exhibit significant variations across countries, cultures, and ethnicities, thereby reflecting individual desires, concerns, and goals. While some individuals seek aesthetic enhancements, others prioritize addressing specific skin conditions within the context of beauty norms in their respective countries. The provision of personalized and culturally sensitive care plays a crucial role in meeting these diverse expectations. Skin characteristics and concerns differ among ethnicities, influencing treatment preferences. For instance, individuals with darker skin tones may prioritize the treatment of pigmentation disorders, whereas those with lighter skin tones may focus on achieving a fair complexion. Furthermore, differences in facial anatomy among various ethnicities necessitate tailored treatment approaches. This commentary aims to contribute to the effective understanding and management of patient expectations, ultimately leading to satisfactory outcomes. Additional research and regional studies are required to further deepen our understanding of patient expectations in cosmetic dermatology and enable the delivery of improved and culturally appropriate care on a global scale.
患者对美容皮肤科的期望在不同国家、文化和种族之间存在显著差异，反映了个体的愿望、关注点和目标。一些人寻求美容增强，而另一些人则根据各自国家的美容规范，将解决特定皮肤问题置于优先地位。提供个性化和文化敏感的护理对于满足这些多样化的期望至关重要。不同种族之间的皮肤特征和关注点存在差异，影响了治疗偏好。例如，肤色较深的个体可能更关注色素沉着障碍的治疗，而肤色较浅的个体则可能更注重获得白皙的肤色。此外，不同种族之间的面部解剖结构存在差异，需要采用量身定制的治疗方法。本评论旨在为有效理解和管理患者的期望做出贡献，最终实现满意的结果。需要进一步的研究和区域性研究，以加深我们对美容皮肤科患者期望的理解，并在全球范围内提供改进的、文化适宜的护理。
