[Esthetic and corrective dermatology: clinical applications and social role]

(Dermatologie esthétique et correctrice: applications cliniques et rôle social.)

Full Abstract

Skin diseases may have severe aesthetic and psychological repercussions leading sometimes to discriminations and social isolation. Dermatologists have contributed to the development of many cosmetic procedures: peelings, botulinum toxin or hyaluronic acid injections, lasers, blepharoplasty, facelift, etc. Many of these treatments have interesting clinical applications and may help numerous patients with skin diseases to return to a normal social life.
