Abstract

Dermatology is a visual art; cutaneous signs have a significant role in dermatological diseases and also in cosmetic dermatology. The consultation in cosmetic dermatology is different from a consultation in any other medical specialty, but can be similar in many aspects. The relationship between the physician and the patient has always been and still is the successful key for coherent procedures without “overdoing” and leading to satisfaction on both sides. It is a must to go beyond prescribing interventions or treating unsightly conditions; we need to provide a good guidance on prevention and maintenance of skin health. A complete and well-directed anamnesis will be the greatest instrument for achieving this individual globally and the proper way to try to understand patient’s expectations regarding the final outcome. It’s important to remember that sociocultural relations should be maintained when thinking, proposing, indicating, and performing cosmetic dermatological treatments and aesthetic procedures.
