Optimizing Facial Rejuvenation with a Combination of a Novel Topical Serum and Injectable Procedure to Increase Patient Outcomes and Satisfaction.
Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology 2017 December
BACKGROUND: Neuromodulator injection procedures are an effective treatment for moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles, but do not address the superficial fine lines and wrinkles caused by age-related loss of intrinsic hyaluronic acid levels in the epidermis. OBJECTIVE: In this study, the authors assess overall facial skin quality and patient satisfaction when combining topical treatment with the a topical cosmetic serum (HA5 ) and applying to the entire face following a pre-elected neuromodulator injection treatment to the lateral canthal areas. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Twenty female subjects aged 36 to 63 years with moderate-to-severe under-the-eye fine lines and/or wrinkles enrolled in the study. HA5 was applied the entire face at baseline immediately post-injection and twice daily for eight weeks. Clinical assessments were conducted at baseline; 15 minutes post-procedure; and at Weeks 2, 4, and 8. RESULTS: Statistically significant improvements were observed immediately post-procedure and after eight weeks, along with high patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION: The combination of topical serum and injectable procedure provided a rapid onset of improvements in fine lines/wrinkles appearance and skin texture and long-term overall improvements in areas not treated by the injection. These results support how this novel combination can provide physicians with a comprehensive approach to optimize patient outcomes.
