| description | # Purpose
Flammer syndrome (FS), a clinical entity characterized by primary vascular dysregulation of blood flow together with various signs and symptoms, has been reported in both healthy individuals and those with certain diseases. Adequate management of FS requires personalized treatment and preventive measures. In the field of aesthetic medicine, proper regulation of blood flow is crucial for optimal wound healing. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of FS signs and symptoms among individuals seeking aesthetic intervention.
# Methods
A total of 207 patients seeking aesthetic intervention at the Beauty2Go clinic in Lucerne answered a standardized questionnaire consisting of 15 signs and symptoms of FS.
# Results
Overall, 189 (91.3%) patients were female and 18 (8.7%) were male. The mean age was 36.0 years (standard deviation \[SD\] 12.1) and the median age was 35.0 years (interquartile range \[IQR\]: 14.0−67.0). Several signs and symptoms of FS were present among patients undergoing aesthetic surgery. Compared to a control group patients showed a higher tendency towards cold hands (25.1% \[95% confidence interval \[CI\]: 19.5--31.7\]), feeling cold (21.7% \[95% CI: 16.4--28.1\]) and low blood pressure (27.3% \[95% CI: 21.0--34.7\]). Other signs and symptoms included Increased response to certain drugs (8.4% \[95% CI: 4.8--14.3\]) a low Body Mass Index (BMI) (58.0% \[95% CI: 50.9--64.7\]), Reversible skin blotches (7.2% \[95% CI: 4.3--11.9\]) and a tendency towards perfectionism (53.6% \[95% CI: 46.6--60.5\]). Accompanying symptoms of migraines were lower in the patient group (5.0% \[95% CI: 2.2--10.4\]) than in the control group.
# Conclusions
The prevalence of FS is notable among individuals seeking aesthetic interventions. Acknowledging this fact not only enables the treatment of FS in patients but also empowers the field of aesthetic medicine to devise proactive strategies for enhancing blood flow regulation through personalized treatment in this population. This research paper emphasizes the significance of identifying FS in the context of aesthetic procedures and highlights the potential benefits of personalized preventive treatments. |
