This study investigated the purposes and psychological changes before and after aesthetic care by demographic characteristics (age, education, main income, average monthly income) among elderly people, and the results found the following: First, in terms of perception and awareness of psychological changes before and after aesthetic care by age, ‘60-64’ was more pronounced than ‘65 or older’. Concerning the purposes of aesthetic care based on educational background, some differences were found in ‘to go out or meet someone’, ‘for a change’, ‘interest in the opposite sex’, and ‘reduction of stress’. The perception and psychological changes before and after aesthetic care were higher in the less educated. In terms of the purposes of aesthetic care based on main income, the perception of aesthetic care was high when the respondents had a job. However, positive psychological changes were found after aesthetic care regardless of main income. Furthermore, even though no particular difference was observed in the general purposes of aesthetic care by average monthly income, and the respondents revealed a high interest in aesthetic care. The purposes of aesthetic care revealed some differences by age, education, main income, average monthly income, occupation and purpose (e.g., going out, meeting someone, for a change, self-satisfaction, social life, reduction of stress, etc.), but elderly people (age 75 or even older) tend to have aesthetic care. After such aesthetic care, they experienced positive psychological changes.
