“…We enrolled a total of 1056 participants, with a majority being women (67.9%).

Such gender-specific preferences should be considered when developing targeted educational and marketing campaigns related to cosmetic dermatology.…”

Studies show that the need for beauty treatments, including natural ones, has not diminished during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 44 ]. In our study during the COVID-19 pandemic in Lithuania, the main cosmetic uses were skin (20% of reports) and hair hydration (17%) and sweat reduction (17%) ( Figure 6 ).…”

“…A study in which the COVID-19 pandemic changed the attitudes and behaviors of patients visiting dermatology outpatient clinics about cosmetic care and procedures, confirmed whether the ongoing epidemic has changed people's habits related to skincare products and cosmetic procedures. 4 Because of the increased risk of transmission through close contact, some cosmetic procedures are considered high-risk, and most procedures have had to be postponed or canceled at private salons, especially during peak periods.…”
