Aims & Scope

The Journal of Face Aesthetics (JoFA) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that aims to promote innovative, interdisciplinary, and evidence-based research on facial aesthetics in its broadest sense. The journal seeks to deepen understanding of facial harmony, perception of beauty, and their relationship with health, well-being, and cultural diversity across global populations.

JoFA welcomes original research articles, systematic reviews, case reports, narrative reviews, and editorial letters that explore the biological, clinical, psychological, sociological, and artistic dimensions of facial aesthetics. The journal particularly values studies that integrate perspectives from different fields of medicine, including dentistry, aesthetic dermatology, maxillofacial surgery, cosmetology, physiotherapy, dietetics as well as psychology.

By fostering collaboration among scientists, clinicians, and creative professionals, JoFA provides a platform for dialogue between research and practice. The journal supports the exchange of ideas and experiences that contribute to the advancement of knowledge in facial aesthetics and related disciplines.

Recognising that the perception of beauty varies across cultures and historical periods, JoFA encourages research addressing different aesthetic canons and population differences. The journal strives to ensure that scientific findings are accessible and comprehensible to diverse audiences, thus promoting informed and evidence-based approaches to health and aesthetics. JoFA aims to disseminate high-quality scientific knowledge and to build a global, interdisciplinary community of professionals devoted to facial aesthetics.
