    TLDR Most people getting cosmetic dermatology are young, educated, working women with a good income, mainly concerned about wrinkles and often choosing chemical peeling.
    The study conducted at Nidan Hospital in Lalitpur, Nepal, from May 2017 to April 2018, included 160 patients and aimed to profile cosmetic consultations in a general dermatology clinic. Results showed that 74% of those seeking cosmetic consultations were female, 43% were employed, 57% had at least a Bachelor's degree, and most were from a middle to high socioeconomic background. The predominant age group was 26 to 35 years, accounting for 36% of consultations. The most common concern was wrinkles (37%), and the most frequent procedure was chemical peeling (59%), with mesotherapy (16%) and mole removal (12%) following. There was a significant correlation between seeking cosmetic consultations and higher economic (p=0.000) and employment status (p=0.007), indicating that cosmetic dermatology services were mainly utilized by young, educated, employed females of higher socioeconomic status.

It could serve as an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but it is not yet available on the market and may take several years to be released.

      The conversation is about the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride, in different populations. Some users believe that the results of Japanese studies may not be relevant to Caucasian men, especially young ones, and that East Asians may respond better to these treatments. Others argue that clinical studies should be the basis for decision-making, while acknowledging that individual responses to medications can vary.
