Abstract
Sustainability in cosmetic dermatology is becoming a pivotal aspect of modern clinical practice, aligning with global environmental and public health objectives. This commentary explores the ecological impact of dermatological procedures and products, emphasizing the necessity of integrating sustainable practices to mitigate environmental harm. Key focus areas include reducing carbon footprint through energy-efficient clinics, ethical sourcing of ingredients, eco-friendly packaging, and the adoption of circular economy principles to minimize waste. Additionally, technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, are transforming sustainability in dermatology by optimizing resource allocation, enhancing transparency, and reducing clinical waste. Regulatory policies and industry standards are also evolving to support environmentally responsible practices. Embedding sustainability into dermatology practice contributes not only to environmental goals but also to the long-term resilience and adaptability of clinics in a shifting regulatory and consumer landscape. By fostering innovation, ethical responsibility, and regulatory compliance, sustainability initiatives in cosmetic dermatology contribute to a more resilient, health-oriented future for both patients and the planet.
期刊介绍：
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
