Implication

Observational analysis shows decreased influence of social media on patient behavior in aesthetic treatments, indicating a need for better dermatologic communication.

Key Points

A significant 66.43% of patients reported minimal influence from social media on their aesthetic decisions, contrasting with broader population trends.
Of 140 surveyed patients, 37 sought high-resolution ultrasound for aesthetic reasons, highlighting a specific interest in aesthetic evaluations.
Patients at the specialized center were mostly referred by professionals, implying that direct dermatologic contact reduces social media's impact.
These findings support the role of dermatologists in countering misinformation and facilitating proper clinical assessments.
