Socio-hygienic research and assessment of the quality of life of cosmetology patients

Abstract

Health is largely determined by environmental factors. A number of skin diseases, as well as its age-related changes, are a poorly studied medical and social problem. The procedures provided in cosmetology clinics can be considered a relative indicator of an improvement in the quality of life, directly related to the restoration and maintenance of balance and harmony of individual and public health of a person with the natural and social environment. The analysis of the quality of life of patients with cosmetology profile was carried out. It is noted that despite the rapid development of cosmetology, information proving the impact of surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures on the patients quality of life is limited; there are no effective, reliable rating scales for the patients self-assessment of the results of cosmetic therapy. Sociocultural and quality of life factors that force patients to undergo these procedures are not well understood. The results of a sociological survey of patients with a cosmetology profile allow cosmetologists to plan a complex of interventions for the prevention and correction of age-related changes in appearance, emphasize the professional image of a specialist. The development of rating scales and methods for assessing the quality of botulinum therapy and the patients self-assessment of the results of medical care provided on the principles of evidence-based medicine is an urgent issue.
