These conditions may be left alone without medical consequence or are treated mainly for enhancement of the patient’s appearance. Correct identification and characterization of these conditions are needed for subsequent appropriate treatment. Cosmetic dermatology is a growing and challenging aspect of dermatology with meeting the patient’s expectations being just as important as achieving good and safe treatment outcomes. Better recognition, improved practitioner’s skills, and more effective and safer medical technological advances all contribute to the dermatologist’s ability to enhance the appearance with minimal side effects and reduced downtime.
