Cosmetic procedure use as a type of substance-related disorder - 05/12/20
Abstract |
Background |
A role for addiction psychiatry in aesthetic treatment-seeking behavior has been evidenced for ultraviolet light tanning.
Objective |
We aim to demonstrate an initial proof of concept for the presence of addictive behaviors in cosmetic procedure use.
Methods |
Adults visiting a cosmetic dermatology practice with history of at least 1 cosmetic procedure and consideration of at least 1 cosmetic procedure in the past 12 months were included. Two previously validated instruments in the detection of alcohol use disorder, the Cut Down, Annoyed, Guilty, Eye-Opener (CAGE) questionnaire, and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-V) criteria were modified to evaluate participants for a substance-related disorder (SRD) in cosmetic procedures.
Results |
Of 153 adults, 34 (22.2%) met modified CAGE criteria, and 40 (26.1%) met modified DSM-V criteria. Results from both instruments were significantly associated (P < .0002). Significant differences in consideration and use of cosmetic treatments were found in SRD positive versus negative groups (P < .0001 and P = .009, respectively).
Limitations |
Preliminary criteria for SRD in cosmetic procedure use in this study has not yet been validated.
Conclusions |
A type of SRD involving cosmetic procedures may exist, and qualifying individuals may have increased cosmetic treatment use. Future efforts to rigorously validate an instrument for SRD detection in cosmetic procedures use are warranted for future research and clinical application.
