Objectives: To summarize the indications for dermatoscopy use in aesthetic medicine.
Introduction: Modern aesthetic medicine is notable for significant advances, in particular in a field of instrumentation and laser technologies, which provide quick and pronounced aesthetic results for patients with different aesthetic problems. At the same time incorrect diagnosis followed by corresponding non-optimal treatment could lead to inadequate efficacy of treatment or even complications. Dermatoscopy is a non-invasive method of skin visualization, improving diagnostic performance of trained physicians.
Materials / method: We performed a systematic review of literature to examine the impact of dermatoscopy on decision making in aesthetic medicine. Literature search was conducted using terms “dermoscopy”, “dermatoscopy”, “rejuvenation”, “ageing”, “laser”, “melasma”, “wrinkles”, “photoageing”, “scar”, “telangiectasia”.
Results: This report will present a review of most important diagnostic and prognostic implications of dermoscopy in aesthetic medicine with emphasis on common as well as rare skin conditions and neoplastic lesions most often affecting facial skin and seen in aesthetic medicine. Main principles and rules of dermatoscopic diagnosis in aesthetic medicine will be presented.
Conclusion: Dermatoscopy is proved to be useful in differential diagnosis of neoplastic lesions as well as inflammatory dermatoses and hair disorders. Dermoscopy application in aesthetic medicine needs to be further validated.
