Combination Facial Aesthetic Treatment in Millennials

December 22, 2024 updated by: Jared Jagdeo, MD, MS, State University of New York - Downstate Medical Center
With 63% of consumers willing to consider investing in facial aesthetics and 73% of consumers worldwide expecting to invest in aesthetic treatments in the upcoming year, it is imperative to explore patient satisfaction and psychosocial impact of a multimodal aesthetic treatment in a millennial cohort. The investigators hypothesize that a combination approach to facial aesthetic treatment in a millennial cohort will result in increased patient-reported satisfaction in multiple areas, including perception of aging concerns and quality of life.

Detailed Description

This is a single-center, prospective, rater-blinded, pilot study to evaluate patient satisfaction with facial aesthetic treatment using a combination of botulinum toxin and dermal fillers. The three types of injectables are Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA), Juvéderm Voluma XC (hyaluronic acid gel filler), and Juvéderm Volbella XC (hyaluronic acid gel filler). Twenty individuals who belong to the millennial generation (i.e., born between January 1, 1981 and December 31, 1996)1 and meet eligibility criteria will be enrolled. Study participants will receive all three injectables during a single procedure, with an optional touch-up treatment at 2 weeks. The primary endpoint is the change in satisfaction after facial aesthetic treatment, using the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Facial Appearance Overall Scale. Other outcome measures include various FACE-Q Aesthetic scales, digital skin imaging analysis, photographs, and rater-blinded clinical assessment using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
FACE-Q Satisfaction With Facial Appearance Overall Scale
Time Frame: Baseline and 2 months after the procedure
To assess changes in patient's satisfaction with their appearance following a combination facial aesthetic treatment, using the FACE-Q Satisfaction with Facial Appearance Overall Scale. This tool consists of several questions. For each question, the study participant selects a number from 1 to 4. Higher number are associated with higher satisfaction with facial appearance. The raw scores of the primary outcome measure were transformed by the Rasch measurement method into a 0-to-100 point scale.
Baseline and 2 months after the procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
FACE-Q Appraisal of Lines Overall
Time Frame: Baseline and 2 months after the procedure
To assess changes in patient dissatisfaction with the appearance of overall facial lines, using the FACE-Q Appraisal of Lines: Overall Scale. The tool consists of ten questions regarding self-perception of overall facial lines. For each question, study participants select a number from 1 to 4, with higher numbers reflecting greater dissatisfaction with facial lines. The total score is tallied. The minimum total score is 10 and the maximum total score is 40. A higher total score is associated with greater dissatisfaction with facial lines. The mean total score at baseline and 2 months post procedure are reported.
Baseline and 2 months after the procedure
FACE-Q Expectations Scale
Time Frame: At baseline
To assess patient expectations regarding the impact of facial aesthetic treatment on their lives, using the FACE-Q Expectations Scale. This tool consists of eight statements. For each statement, the study participant selects a number from 1 to 4, where 1 represents "definitely disagree", 2 represents "somewhat disagree", 3 represents "somewhat agree", and 4 represents "definitely agree". The total score of the statements is tallied. The minimum total score is 8 and the maximum total score is 32. The higher the total score, the greater positive impact the participants believe the treatments will have on their lives. The mean total score at baseline is reported.
At baseline
FACE-Q Social Function Scale
