“…1 The DLQI and Skindex are 2 validated PROMs that were developed for skin disease but have also been used in laser and light therapy studies. 12 Dermatology Life Quality Index was the first dermatology-specific instrument to measure QoL. The DLQI comprises 10 items that inquire about how skin diseases affect the patient's daily activities and interpersonal relationships (i.e., social activities, sports, working, friends, and partners).…”

“…The DLQI comprises 10 items that inquire about how skin diseases affect the patient's daily activities and interpersonal relationships (i.e., social activities, sports, working, friends, and partners). 12 Skindex was developed to study the QoL in patients with skin and connective tissue conditions. It comprises 61 questions and measures 8 constructs: cognitive effects, social effects, depression, fear, embarrassment, anger, physical discomfort, and physical limitations.…”

“…A greater understanding of the quality-of-life impacts and psychosocial function of aesthetic treatments can not only benefit the patient–physician relationship and resolve barriers to treatment but also can have a broader industry influence on new product development, product indications, and marketing to patients. 12 Further studies using PROMs with more diverse patient involvement will help aesthetic clinicians better understand the goals, expectations, and desires of different patient groups. In addition, future clinical trials would benefit from recognizing and recruiting according to the patient archetypes and using PROMs specifically designed to match their motivations.…”

BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are valuable in understanding patient motivations, setting expectations, and ensuring satisfaction. As the aesthetic industry expands globally, factors that motivate the treatment goals of the aesthetic patient reflect evolving social, cultural, and commercial influences. OBJECTIVE This article will assess the applicability of current PROMs used in aesthetic medicine to an increasingly diverse patient population and consider their ability to measure the underlying motives that drive different types of patients to pursue their specific goals. METHODS PubMed database was searched for studies using PROMs to evaluate the motivations and expectations of aesthetic patients. RESULTS Seven validated aesthetic PROM tools were reviewed against a backdrop of different patient segments as represented by the 4 patient archetypes: Positive Aging, Beautification, Correction, and Transformation. None of the tools could universally represent the individual motivations and expectations of all 4 patient archetypes. CONCLUSION There is a need for updated PROMs in aesthetics that are applicable to patients with different motivations or expected outcomes than the traditional rejuvenation patient. PROMs that help decode patient motivations and that are developed with more diverse patient involvement will help aesthetic clinicians better understand the goals and expectations of new patient segments.
