“…One of the most common issues with scalp reduction surgeries when used in the setting of hair restoration is loss of laxity in the scalp and difficulty closing large excisions. 4 However, this is not the case in CVG due to the excessive dermal tissue. With widespread subgaleal dissection, we were able to significantly release the tissue and allow mobilization toward the midline of the excision, which resulted in improvement of the ridges and furrows distant to the excision site.…”

have cemented a prominent position within the aesthetic consumer space. Unsurprisingly, medical spas are often owned and/or operated by those with adequate business training, who can more effectively target consumer populations than the average dermatologist. The business education of dermatologists was recently shown to be insufficient and inadequate during residency training. 5 We also observed an interesting cyclical pattern based on seasonality with both medical spas and cosmetic dermatologists-experiencing peaks in popularity in the spring and nadirs in the fall. This information can help aesthetic physicians. For example, it can help to better optimize marketing strategies and inventory management. In terms of geographic distribution, searches for cosmetic dermatologists were primarily concentrated on the East and West coasts along with Texas. The skewed distribution of cosmetic dermatologists across the country likely plays a role, with a traditional preference for larger metropolitan areas. By contrast, medical spas were popular fairly evenly throughout the country with more interest concentrated in the Midwest. Additional studies should explore how variations in state-specific medical spa regulations affect consumer interest and demand.This study expands our current knowledge in the aesthetic field by highlighting the consumer interest in medical spas and cosmetic dermatologists over an 11-year period throughout the United States. By extrapolating search engine data from Google, we now have more powerful information on aesthetic consumer patterns. These findings have important clinical implications, especially given the implicated differences in patient safety and outcomes between medical spas and physician-based cosmetic practices.

Hair follicles are unique structures with exceptional regenerative potential. They are believed to be crucial for epidermal homeostasis and reepithelialization after damage to human skin. Like other, more active and quickly proliferating organ systems, hair follicles may be easily disturbed in their normal growth cycle by systemic and local influences, including specific skin diseases. This may lead to hair loss, a very common complaint in men and women. The difficulties in reviewing the diseases of hair follicles lay in the long list of different etiologic factors (infectious, autoimmune, inflammatory, neoplastic, physical, chemical, congenital) and a still missing classification system according to etiopathogenetic principles. In this article (Part I of II), the structure and function of hair follicles, the diagnostic approach to diseases causing hair loss, and the most common nonscarring alopecias (telogen effluvium, anagen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, and alopecia areata) are reviewed in regard to pathogenesis, clinical findings, and current options of treatment. Part II will focus on scarring alopecias.
