LB959 The influence of social media on non-surgical cosmetic dermatologic procedures: A qualitative study using survey responses

Abstract

The rise of social media in recent years has changed the landscape of social interaction and profoundly impacted culture– this study aims to identify its role in influencing society’s perceptions of non-surgical dermatologic procedures. We accomplished this by conducting a cross-sectional Qualtrics survey distributed via Instagram, Facebook, GroupMe, Twitter, and email. Questions addressed frequency and type of social media use, exposure to cosmetic procedures through these platforms, and their desires to seek out cosmetic procedures.
