Algorithmic Beauty: The New Beauty Standard.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology : JDD
|September 4, 2024
Summary
Social media algorithms shape beauty ideals by personalizing content, influencing patient preferences for cosmetic procedures. Understanding this impact is crucial for healthcare providers to offer evidence-based guidance.
Area of Science:
- Dermatology
- Medical Aesthetics
- Digital Health
Background:
- Social media algorithms curate content, influencing users' perceptions of beauty.
- This curated content impacts patient aesthetic desires and societal beauty standards.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze how social media algorithms personalize content feeds.
- To investigate the influence of these personalized feeds on patient preferences for cosmetic procedures.
Main Methods:
- Searched websites of YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok for algorithm functionalities.
- Conducted a literature review on social media and cosmetic procedures using PubMed.
Main Results:
- Social media platforms utilize algorithms to personalize user feeds.
- Patient exposure to specific content can influence their consideration of cosmetic procedures.
- Factors like location, repeated exposure, and familiarity shape desired appearances.
Conclusions:
- Algorithms and artificial intelligence increasingly affect patients' visual intake and aesthetic goals.
- Dermatologists can leverage social media insights to provide education and manage patient expectations regarding cosmetic procedures.

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Heuristics are problem-solving strategies that use mental shortcuts to simplify decision-making. Unlike algorithms, which must be followed precisely to achieve a correct result, heuristics offer a general problem-solving framework. They save time and energy but can sometimes lead to less rational decisions.
People often rely on heuristics when faced with an overload of information, limited time, low importance of the decision, limited information, or when a heuristic readily comes to mind. For...

01:12Modeling and Similitude
255
Scaled modeling is a fundamental technique in engineering, enabling the study of large and complex systems by creating smaller, manageable replicas that recreate critical characteristics of the original. In hydrology and civil infrastructure, for example, scaled models of dams help analyze water flow, turbulence, and pressure. This method allows for accurate predictions of real-world behavior within a controlled environment, significantly reducing the cost and time involved in full-scale...

The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

01:24Natural and Artificial Concepts

In psychology, concepts can be divided into two categories: natural and artificial. Natural concepts are formed through direct or indirect experiences. For example, consider the concept of snow. If you live in a place with regular snowfall, such as Essex Junction, Vermont, you know snow through direct experiences. You’ve seen it fall, touched it, shoveled it, and played in it. You recognize its texture, appearance, and even its smell. In contrast, if you live on an island like Saint...

01:29Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Algorithms for Numerical Problem Solving
45
Mechanistic models play a crucial role in algorithms for numerical problem-solving, particularly in nonlinear mixed effects modeling (NMEM). These models aim to minimize specific objective functions by evaluating various parameter estimates, leading to the development of systematic algorithms. In some cases, linearization techniques approximate the model using linear equations.
