Number of patients seeking aesthetic treatments nosedived after lockdown imposed in March 2020
With online face-to-face interactions becoming the new normal, dermatologists are seeing a sudden rise in the number of patients after a slump during the early months of the pandemic, according to a top skin specialist from Kolkata. “Aesthetic procedures like Botox and laser hair removal took a hit last year as no one really bothered to go to a doctor because half the face was always covered. But with everything now going online, from classes to business meetings to social events, people are again realising the importance of a mask-free face and the number of patients going for aesthetic treatments has jumped up,” said Dr. Koushik Lahiri, a professor and senior consultant dermatologist at Apollo Gleneagles Hospital.
