Guidelines of care for clinical laser treatments: Why are they useful?

Artificial intelligence in cosmetic dermatology

BACKGROUND

Cosmetic dermatology is a growing field as more patients are seeking treatments for esthetic concerns. Traditionally, practitioners and patients utilize their own perceptions, current beauty standards, and manual observation to determine their satisfaction with cosmetic interventions. Artificial intelligence (AI) can be introduced into cosmetic dermatology to provide objective data-driven recommendations to both dermatologists and patients.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this paper is to compose a unified review that illustrates the various facets of artificial intelligence and formulate a hypothesis regarding the new implications of artificial intelligence in cosmetic dermatology specifically.

METHODS

A comprehensive search on PubMed was conducted to identify the available information related to AI in cosmetic dermatology. The search was conducted using a combination of keywords including "cosmetic dermatology" and "artificial intelligence."

RESULTS

The current literature indicates that AI models offer personalized, efficient, and result-driven outputs that can enhance cosmetic outcomes, patient satisfaction, and overall experience.

CONCLUSION

Artificial intelligence integration in cosmetic dermatology shows a promising future, offering the ability to analyze vast data sets and deliver a tailored patient experience. By incorporating AI into cosmetic dermatology, there is an opportunity to balance evidence-based decision-making with the artistic human touch of cosmetic dermatologists.

Squamous cell carcinoma: 2021 updated review of treatment

Squamous cell carcinoma is the second most common cutaneous malignancy, requiring early diagnosis to prevent metastasis. Updated guidelines in the definition of clinical features, diagnostic modalities, grading, staging, surgical, and nonsurgical treatment methods are necessary. Diagnostic methods from biopsy, dermoscopy, and reflectance confocal microscopy have improved to include high-frequency ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography, and computed tomography. Non-surgical treatment methods include topical therapy, cryosurgery, photodynamic therapy, and radiation. Surgical treatment methods include surgical excision with margins and Mohs surgery. Clinical trials encourage further research to address the knowledge base of genetic variations and lymph node metastasis.
