Tóm tắt

The rapidly aging population creates new demands for comprehensive healthcare, including aesthetic dermatology. Physical appearance directly influences psychological well-being, self-confidence, and quality of life in older adults. This review aims to analyze the role of aesthetic skin care in geriatrics, identify the boundaries between appropriate needs and excessive interventions, and highlight the risks of complications as well as physicians’ responsibilities in ensuring safety. We systematically synthesized and analyzed medical literature published between 2015 and 2025 related to skin aesthetics, geriatrics, and elderly healthcare. PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched using the following keywords: “geriatrics dermatology”, “skin aesthetics”, “aesthetic skin care”, “elderly dermatology”, “cosmetic dermatology,” “aesthetic interventions complications elderly”, “quality of life”, “skin care elderly”, “complications”, “physician counseling”. Evidence indicates that aesthetic skin care significantly improves psychological health, quality of life, and social connectedness in older adults. However, complication risks are heightened due to multimorbidity, long-term medication use, and age-related physiological changes of the skin. Ethical considerations and the distinction between appropriate and excessive interventions must be carefully addressed in clinical practice. Aesthetic skin care in geriatrics represents an inevitable trend but requires cautious implementation. Physicians play a pivotal role in counseling, preventing complications, and selecting appropriate interventions to optimize both medical benefits and humanistic values in the comprehensive care of older adults.
