Enduring outcomes of minimally ınvasive approaches for facial rejuvenation

Abstract

Facial rejuvenation procedures have gained popularity as individuals seek nonsurgical methods to address signs of aging. These procedures encompass a range of minimally invasive techniques, including botulinum toxin applications, dermal fillers, PRP, and thread lifting. This study aimed to assess patient satisfaction and evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of these minimal invasive facial rejuvenation procedures. Patients aged 18–65 who underwent facial rejuvenation at an Ear, Nose, and Throat Clinic were included. Procedures had botulinum toxin applications, dermal fillers, PRP, and PDO threads. Follow-up evaluations were conducted at 4–6 months for botulinum toxin and PRP and one year for other procedures. Visual analog scales and self-satisfaction measured beauty perception data after treatments. Botulinum toxin applications effectively reduced dynamic wrinkles, while dermal fillers provided volumetric support with varying longevity. PRP improved skin tone, brightness, moisture, and fine wrinkles. Patient satisfaction levels varied across procedures. Minimal invasive facial rejuvenation procedures offer a nonsurgical approach to address aging-related concerns. Botulinum toxin, dermal fillers, PRP, and PDO threads provide unique benefits, but their outcomes and satisfaction levels differ among patients. Understanding these variations is crucial for informed decision-making in facial rejuvenation.
