Business Insight presented by Arlington Dermatology Women's Health and Dermatology If I were writing this message 30 years ago, I probably could identify many skin and aesthetics procedures that applied to female patients only. But the world has changed in many aspects. There is no separation in female and male aesthetics or skin health. Dermatology practices see female and male patients for the same procedures on a regular basis. The model of a modern man, sometimes they call it metro-man, is the one seeking to look younger, better, fresher, regardless of the fact that he needs to attend and perform procedures considered 'woman' style. Arlington Dermatology spend some time in the waiting room. You will see again very much similar gender representation. And we treat our patients the same way Medicine is not gender sensitive regardless of their age or gender. unless it is reproductive medicine.

And generally, it is females who are our mothers, wives, sisters, delivering babies. We see same sex couples with youngsters, delivered and girlfriends. And no matter how far the technological progress took through surrogacy or adoption. Yes, there are still some limitations us these days, there are plenty of about who can have a baby and examples of mistreatment, male who cannot, but boundaries are dominance, domestic violence, and blurring. The social norm and opinions may not be in agreement about what is allowed and right and what should be prohibited and is considered wrong, but the truth is that social opinions, no matter how strong, will not stop progress. It is like with your cell phone, which is my favorite example. You really do not need a new phone; the old one is working just fine. But, when there is a new model of iphone coming to the market, lines of customers stand for hours to buy it. Your opinion will not stop this process. simply inferior treatment of females. It does not happen everywhere, but it does happen every day. Often, it is a result of old times and beliefs, and often, it is generational. Strong men and weak women. Deciding med and quiet women. Working men and housewives. It is all OK as long as both parties are in agreement to live this style of life. It is not OK if women cannot decide on their own how to live their lives.
