So it wasn't as popular 20 years ago because they didn't get paid as much? All the dermies I know tell me that cosmetics is a relatively small part of their practice...

it was as popular 20 years ago. as an aside, derms who don't do cosmetics still do pretty well.

From what attendings have said I think it was definitely competitive. It may be somewhat more competitive now but I feel like everything is...
