Taking into account the individual characteristics of each individual patient and the factors influencing the perception of beauty and the choice of patients is especially important due to the possible difference in patient preferences from the doctors point of view. The variety of physical types of different ethnic populations, suggesting different aesthetic preferences and motives for seeking cosmetic procedures, provides unique perspectives for the development of aesthetic dermatology. The integration of artificial intelligence into cosmetic dermatology has the potential to revolutionize cosmetic consultations, treatment planning, progress analysis, patient education, and ultimately lead to further major advances in cosmetic dermatology.patient-centricitycosmetologydermatologyethnic characteristics of patientsaesthetic preferencesпациентоцентричностькосметологиядерматологияэтнические особенности пациентовэстетические предпочтения[Kania B., Montecinos K., Goldberg D.
