Validated Assessment Scales for the Female Asian Calf.

BACKGROUND: Clinical photonumeric scales have been developed and validated to objectively measure the effectiveness of aesthetic treatments in specific anatomical areas; however, these are based on the typical features of Caucasian patients. No clinical scale for Asian calf appearance currently exists. OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a calf assessment scale for use in the female Asian patient population. METHODS AND MATERIALS: During 2 validation sessions, 13 raters assessed calf images of female Asian subjects (N = 35) viewed from behind with feet flat on the floor (at rest) and on tiptoes (dynamic). Images were rated from 0 (very slim, linear profile) to 4 (very severe convex profile). RESULTS: Inter-rater and intra-rater reliability were "substantial" (≥0.6, intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] and weighted kappa) for the calf-at rest, calf-dynamic, and calf summary score. Reliability was "substantial" for calf-at rest and calf-dynamic (≥0.6, ICC and weighted kappa) and "almost perfect" (0.85) for the calf summary score. BMI and calf circumference were highly correlated with scale ratings, and calf circumference was a significant predictor. CONCLUSION: This new photonumeric assessment scale has value for assessing the female Asian calf, providing a standardized measure of calf appearance in clinical practice and clinical research settings.

Validated Assessment Scales for Cellulite Dimples on the Buttocks and Thighs in Female Patients.

BACKGROUND: New treatment methods for cellulite require globally accepted scales for aesthetic research and patient evaluation. OBJECTIVE: To develop a set of grading scales for objective assessment of cellulite dimples on female buttocks and thighs and assess their reliability and validity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two photonumeric grading scales were created and validated for dimples in the buttocks in female patients: Cellulite Dimples-At Rest, and Cellulite Dimples-Dynamic. Sixteen aesthetic experts rated photographs of 50 women in 2 validation sessions. Responses were analyzed to assess inter-rater and intra-rater reliability. RESULTS: Overall inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability were both "almost perfect" (≥0.81, intraclass correlation efficient and weighted kappa) for the At Rest scale. For the Dynamic scale, inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability were "substantial" (0.61-0.80). There was a high correlation between the cellulite scales and body mass index, age, weight, and skin laxity assessments. CONCLUSION: Consistent outcomes between raters and by individual raters at 2 time points confirm the reliability of the cellulite dimple grading scales for buttocks and thighs in female patients and suggest they will be a valuable tool for use in research and clinical practice.

Validated Assessment Scales for Skin Laxity on the Posterior Thighs, Buttocks, Anterior Thighs, and Knees in Female Patients.

BACKGROUND: The demand for noninvasive skin-tightening body procedures is increasing. OBJECTIVE: To develop a set of grading scales for the objective assessment of skin laxity and assess their reliability and validity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two photonumeric grading scales were created and validated for skin laxity in female patients: Skin Laxity-Posterior Thighs/Buttocks, and Anterior Thighs/Knees. Fifteen aesthetic experts rated photographs of 50 women in 2 validation sessions. Responses were analyzed to assess inter-rater and intra-rater reliability. RESULTS: Overall inter-rater reliability according to intraclass correlation efficient (ICC) 2.1 and weighted kappa was at least "substantial" for both scales in both sessions, and "almost perfect" (≥0.81) for the Anterior Thighs and Knees scale in session 2. Intra-rater reliability was "almost perfect" for both scales (ICC 2.1) and "substantial" to "almost perfect" by weighted kappa. A correlation between the skin laxity scales and body mass index, age, weight, sun exposure, and cellulite severity was observed. CONCLUSION: The skin laxity photonumeric grading scales are valid and reliable instruments for assessing laxity on the posterior thighs and buttocks, and anterior thighs and knees. The scales will be of value for standardizing clinical evaluations and quantifying outcome measurements in research and clinical practice.

A Validated Assessment Scale for Asian Chin Projection.

BACKGROUND: As the number of different aesthetic treatments increase, numerous photonumeric assessment scales have been developed and validated to measure the effectiveness of these new treatments and techniques. Photonumeric rating scales have been developed to objectively assess improvements in anatomical areas; however, these have been based on the features of Caucasian patients. OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a Chin Projection Scale for use in the female Asian patient population. METHODS AND MATERIALS: During 2 validation sessions, 13 raters assessed full frontal and lateral facial views of 50 Asian subjects and also estimated their age and the aesthetic treatment effort required for each subject. Chin projection was rated on a scale from 0 (optimal) to 4 (very severely receding). RESULTS: Inter-rater reliability was 0.80 (substantial) for Validation Session 1 and 0.83 (almost perfect) for Validation Session 2. The results for Estimated Age and Estimated Treatment Effort were essentially the same. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated the validity of the first photonumeric assessment scale for assessing the appearance of the female Asian chin. This new scale will provide a standardized measure of chin projection for Asian patients in clinical practice and clinical research settings.

Validation of a Photonumeric Assessment Scale for Grading the Slope of the Asian Forehead.

BACKGROUND: As the number of aesthetic treatments has grown, so have the number of photonumeric assessment scales used to compare the effectiveness of these aesthetic treatments in specific anatomical areas; however, these are primarily based on Caucasian features. OBJECTIVE: To assess the validity of the first aesthetic scale for assessing the slope of the Asian forehead. A secondary objective was to correlate this scale with subject demographics and baseline characteristics. METHODS: During 2 validation sessions, 13 raters assessed full frontal and lateral facial images of female (n = 28; 56.0%) and male (n = 22; 44%) subjects. For each subject, the severity of forehead sloping was graded from 0 (convex forehead, optimal forehead volume) to 4 (concave forehead, very severe sloping). Raters also assessed the age of each subject and the estimated aesthetic treatment effort required to treat each subject. RESULTS: Inter-rater reliability was "substantial" with scores of 0.67 and 0.68 for the first and second validation sessions, indicating high reliability. BMI showed the highest correlation with the scale and was a significant predictor in the final regression model. CONCLUSION: This photonumeric assessment scale will be useful for assessing the slope of the Asian forehead in both clinical and research settings.

Global Consensus Guidelines for the Injection of Diluted and Hyperdiluted Calcium Hydroxylapatite for Skin Tightening.

BACKGROUND: Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is approved to correct moderate-to-severe wrinkles and folds and soft-tissue volume loss in the face and hands. More recently, subdermal injection using diluted CaHA has been used to improve skin laxity. OBJECTIVE: To review evidence for the safe and effective use of diluted CaHA in the face and body and provide best practice recommendations. METHODS: A global panel of expert aesthetic physicians convened to develop consensus-based guidelines for treating laxity and superficial wrinkles using diluted (ratio of 1:1) and hyperdiluted (≥1:2) CaHA. RESULTS: Diluted and hyperdiluted CaHA stimulates targeted neocollagenesis in the injection area to improve laxity and skin quality in the mid- and lower face, neck, décolletage, upper arms, abdomen, upper legs, and buttocks. Treatment can be used as an adjunct to volume augmentation or combined with additional modalities for optimal results. Adverse events are related to the injection and include bruising, swelling, mild pain, and induration. In thinner and darker skin, too-superficial injections of less diluted CaHA can lead to more adverse events. CONCLUSION: This report provides preliminary guidelines for the novel off-label use of CaHA for biostimulation in the face and body. Further trials will provide additional clarity regarding treatment paradigms for optimal outcomes.

First Consensus on Primary Prevention and Early Intervention in Aesthetic Medicine.

BACKGROUND: Facial aging is a complex interplay of extrinsic and intrinsic factors leading to progressive changes in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and bone. Clinical experience suggests that early aesthetic intervention may slow the signs of aging, but treatment in the absence of symptoms or with minimal signs of aging has not yet been properly addressed. OBJECTIVES: To provide treatment recommendations for primary prevention and early intervention in individuals with no or minimal signs of aging. METHODS: Fourteen specialists in aesthetic medicine convened over a full-day meeting under the guidance of a certified moderator. RESULTS: Tailored treatment recommendations have been provided for prevention and early intervention of fine wrinkles, static lines and folds, irregular pigmentation, laxity, and subcutaneous volume loss by protecting the epidermis, stimulating neocollagenesis, reducing hyperkinetic musculature, and reinforcing supporting structures. CONCLUSION: Preventive measures and early therapeutic interventions that may alter the course of facial aging were defined. Further studies are needed to support these recommendations with the best possible evidence.

Communication Concepts for Prevention and Early Intervention in Aesthetic Medicine: Consensus and Literature Review.

BACKGROUND: Communication concepts relating to prevention and early intervention (P&E) within aesthetic medicine are poorly understood and highly underexplored. However, effective communication is a key criterion for successful outcomes. OBJECTIVES: To introduce the framework for P&E communication strategies within a younger population and explore the barriers that may be encountered. METHODS: A literature review on P&E communication strategies in aesthetic medicine and related topics of interest was conducted and used to construct a working framework that may be applied in clinical practice. RESULTS: Examination of existing literature revealed a need for a more structured communication framework for P&E encompassing up-to-date evidence-based learning and educational marketing that is tailored to individual needs and target populations. Message framing-the way in which a message is presented-is an important consideration in the dissemination of information to promote changes in health behaviour. A structured consultation is key to optimising patient engagement and ensures a tailored approach to understanding and catering to the specific needs of each patient. CONCLUSION: This is the first paper to discuss the communication concepts behind P&E within aesthetic medicine and paves the way for further research and focus in this significant field.

Efficacy and Safety of IncobotulinumtoxinA in Asian Subjects: A Pooled Analysis of Clinical Trials in the Treatment of Glabellar Frown Lines.

BACKGROUND: Owing to differences in facial anatomy and cultural beauty ideals, dose adaptations are often necessary when administering botulinum toxin type A to Asians and non-Asians. OBJECTIVE: To assess potential differences in the efficacy and safety of incobotulinumtoxinA in Asian and non-Asians.
METHODS: Efficacy data were pooled from several Phase II/III trials that used 20 U incobotulinumtoxinA to treat glabellar frown lines in Asian subjects. The variable of interest was investigator-assessed improvement in scores on the 4-point Facial Wrinkle Scale from baseline to days 30, 60, 90, and 120. Subjects with a 1-point improvement were considered 'responders'. Data were also assessed for treatment-emergent adverse events, treatment-emergent serious adverse events, and adverse events of special interest among a pool of incobotulinumtoxinA safety studies.
RESULTS: Four trials were pooled, comprising 19 Asian and 563 non-Asian subjects. At maximum frown on day 30, 100% of Asians and 87% of non-Asians were responders; by day 120, values were 37% and 40%, respectively. At rest on day 30, 63% of Asians and 56% of non-Asians were responders. Corresponding values for day 120 were 11% and 25%. The mean change in score on the Facial Wrinkle Scale from baseline over time was similar in both groups. Very few adverse events occurred. Overall, treatment-emergent adverse events were lower amongst Asians than non-Asians.
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with non-Asians, a trend towards slightly higher responses was observed in Asians at maximum frown. There were no clinically relevant differences in the safety of incobotulinumtoxinA when administered to Asian and non-Asian subjects.

Consensus recommendations on the use of injectable poly-l-lactic acid in Asian patients.

BACKGROUND: Injectable poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) has been proven safe and effective with numerous medical applications for more than 25 years. The product has been approved in over 40 countries and is being used for soft tissue augmentation in the face and certain body parts. With the increased demand for subtle and natural-looking aesthetic treatments in the Asia-Pacific region, there is also a heightened need for consistent preparation and effective treatment methodologies to optimize outcomes for Asian patients. METHODS: The body of evidence in medical literature, clinical data of presented case reports, and the collective experience of the authors are reflected in these consensus recommendations, which also take under consideration the availability of biostimulators in the Asia-Pacific region. RESULTS: The resulting consensus recommendations include patient selection and assessment, management of treatment expectations, appropriate preparation and storage, proper injection techniques and treatment plans, management of adverse effects, PLLA combination with other facial rejuvenation procedures, and other constructive considerations. CONCLUSIONS: In the above consensus recommendations, the authors shared their best practices in accordance with the updated preparation and treatment protocols of PLLA. These recommendations represent the clinical and real-world techniques utilized by authors in providing PLLA treatments for Asian patients.

Immunogenicity Associated with Aesthetic Botulinumtoxin A: A Survey of Asia-Pacific Physicians' Experiences and Recommendations.

Background: Most botulinum toxin A (BoNT/A) products contain unnecessary bacterial components that increase the risk of developing neutralizing antibodies (nAbs). Reports of secondary nonresponse and treatment failures (STF) due to nAbs have accompanied a surge in new BoNT/A products. Methods: To formulate recommendations on managing toxin resistance, we reviewed the evidence on BoNT/A-associated immunogenicity and evaluated Asian physicians' current BoNT/A practices, knowledge, and real-world experiences, as provided by survey outcomes conducted with 128 Asian experts (regular botulinum toxin injectors). Results: Most doctors believe STF occurs, some patients exhibit partial symptoms, and impurities (eg, complexing proteins) in BoNT/A preparations risk STF. Bioassays that distinguish non-nAbs from nAbs that hinder toxin function remain unavailable to most doctors, though most would perform testing if given the option. Doctors in the Asia-Pacific region have differing strategies for managing STF, depending on the availability of alternatives or tests. They recommended switching to a highly-purified formulation free of complexing proteins and other impurities to lower the risk of immunogenicity, or offering treatment holidays of 2 -2.5 years. They suggested restarting treatment with the same highly purified formulation, especially for repeated treatments, large-dose injections, and younger patients who will accumulate higher lifetime doses, so as to minimize immunogenic risks and preserve long-term treatment outcomes. Importantly, doctors should always initiate patients on pure formulations rather than switching to these only after resistance develops. Conclusion: Choosing highly purified BoNT/A products at treatment initiation enhances long-term efficacy and patient satisfaction while minimizing the risk of immune activation and nAb formation.

Pan-Asian Consensus on Calcium Hydroxyapatite for Skin Biostimulation, Contouring, and Combination Treatments.

BACKGROUND: Several usage guidelines for calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a dermal filler material, exist for non-Asian patients, making it necessary to determine whether their findings and consensuses are applicable to Asian patients who have distinct anatomies, cultural preferences, and aesthetic requests. OBJECTIVE: We sought to develop a Pan-Asian consensus on CaHA use in skin biostimulation, contouring, and combination treatments for face and body indications. METHODS: A survey on CaHA usage for contouring and biostimulation indications in Asian patients was conducted, followed by discussions to establish consensus statements and topics for examination. RESULTS: Several aspects of facial shaping and contouring or skin biostimulation with CaHA were agreed on, including that dilution is not a key consideration, that microfocused ultrasound with visualisation precedes CaHA in same day or session treatments, and that cannulas should be used. Among the many agreements on interventions in specific facial and body areas, there were also disagreements due to the diverse Asian patient presentations, requests, and access to tools or products; for example, CaHA should be placed in the interfascial layer for temple contouring, CaHA should not be injected directly into the infraorbital area for safety, and diluted CaHA should be injected subdermally for nonfacial or whole-face biostimulation and contouring. CONCLUSION: Our disagreements highlight the diversity of Asian facial morphotypes and desired aesthetic outcomes and underscore the need for customized aesthetic strategies to accommodate the heterogeneity of Asian anatomies, cultural preferences, and aesthetic ideals. Establishing consensus statements on critical aspects of Asian patient considerations, efficacy and safety, is crucial. This document provides strategic guidance on the use of classic, diluted CaHA for biostimulation or undiluted Radiesse®(+) (Merz Pharma GmbH & Co. KGaA, Frankfurt, Germany) for lifting and contouring to ensure consistent CaHA delivery for successful patient outcomes.

A New Simplified Visual Assessment Tool Describing Facial Morphotypes Observed and Desired in Asian Populations.

OBJECTIVE: A group of established aesthetic physicians sought to develop treatment guidelines for assessing Asian face morphologies that reflect accurate and current beauty standards across Asia. DESIGN: Physicians completed surveys, debated, and voted on their clinical strategies and developed an alternative simplified visual tool of assessment (SVAT) that discerns between country variations in genetic and ideal morphotypes. SETTING: Electronic and paper surveys were followed by consensus debates and voting. PARTICIPANTS: Established aesthetic physicians practicing regularly on Asian patients. MEAUSUREMENTS: A clinically applicable SVAT was developed, which considered facial index, mid-face projection, upper and lower face shape, submalar contour, nose length and dorsal height, eye shape and brow shape, proportion of lips-to-lower face and ratio of upper-to-lower lip, and chin shape. RESULTS: For facial shape change, physicians always assessed the horizontal thirds, facial symmetry, and lip-chin complex profile, and also analyzed overall face shapes and Ogee curves. Criteria for creating oval-shaped faces was also defined and included treating indications, such as loss of angularity and bilateral masseter muscle hypertrophy, narrow jawlines, and longer and wider foreheads. Critical differences and similarities in country-specific aesthetic preferences, treatment requests, and considerations or strategies were uncovered, including the inadequacy of assessing overall peripheral facial shapes. CONCLUSION: This consensus establishes the assessment and treatment criteria for achieving ideal shapes for Asian patients. Specific descriptors are affected by variations; therefore, we present the visual criteria for Asian facial morphotypes. We hope that physicians new to treating Asian patients can use this clinical information to improve their practice.

IncobotulinumtoxinA for the Treatment of Glabellar Frown Lines: A Prospective, Multicenter, Single-arm Study in Taiwan.

Objective: We assessed clinical effectiveness, longevity of treatment effects, and patient satisfaction with incobotulinumtoxinA for glabellar frown lines (GFL) treatment in Asian patients. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study at six sites in Taiwan. Patients aged 20 to 65 years with mild to very severe GFLs (Merz scale: 1-4 points) were eligible; 45 patients [including 23 BoNT/A-naïve and 22 previously-treated ("switch") patients were enrolled. Patients received intramuscular incobotulinumtoxinA injection at up to five injection points. Total doses ranged from 12 to 20U. Measurements: Investigators assessed improvements in dynamic GFLs at Days 14 and 120 using the validated five-point Merz scale (0=no lines; 4=very severe lines). Treatment satisfaction was self-reported by patients via questionnaire. Results: All patients showed excellent response to treatment in that Merz scores at Day 14 were 0 or 1 point(s). Both groups showed a mean improvement of 2.9 points; the response rate (1-point improvement or more from baseline) was 100 percent. GFL improvement was maintained over at least four months in both groups (mean improvements at Day 120: 1.5 points, naïve; 1.7 points, switch). Patient satisfaction ratings remained high (almost 100% in both groups) throughout the study. There were no statistically significant differences between groups regarding treatment satisfaction or GFL improvement (Merz score) at Days 14 and 120. No adverse events occurred. Conclusion: In Asian patients, incobotulinumtoxinA treatment for dynamic GFLs is effective and long lasting, with no expected differences between BoNT/A-naïve patients and those switching from other BoNT/As. IncobotulinumtoxinA yields consistent and natural-looking results for first and subsequent treatments.

A Single-visit Approach Using Fillers and Incobotulinumtoxin A: Full Face Enhancement in Asian Patients.

A 3-dimensional, multi-layered approach combining modalities targeting different manifestations is recommended for achieving optimal esthetic outcomes. To date, studies reporting same-day treatment with dermal fillers and botulinum toxin have not been published. This article documents the practical use of a single-visit, pan-facial multimodal approach in addressing the varying esthetic needs of 8 Asian adults. The case series included male or female patients of varying age and degrees of facial fat, who received combination treatment with calcium hydroxylapatite filler, polydensified hyaluronic acid filler, and incobotulinumtoxin A in a single visit in August 2016 at a treatment center in Taiwan. Treatments were individualized based on the needs of each patient, according to guideline recommendations. The agents, with distinctive rheological properties indicated for different purposes, were applied sequentially across different facial tissue planes within a single visit. Patients were monitored for development of side effects after treatment. Photographs taken before treatment and 2 weeks after treatment were evaluated by the treating physicians. For all patients, treatment produced substantial improvements in all treated facial areas. Inherent morphological deficiencies in younger patients were addressed, age-related changes in older patients were corrected, and facial sexual dimorphism was enhanced in male and female patients. No major side effects occurred after treatment. This case series showcases the real-life implementation of a flexible, single-visit, multimodal approach that can be adapted for a variety of indications.

Hyperdilution of CaHA fillers for the improvement of age and hereditary volume deficits in East Asian patients.

With their high elasticity and viscosity, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers are now widely used to treat age-related or hereditary facial soft tissue volume deficits. CaHA filler volume augmentation is further enhanced by its ability to stimulate neocollagenesis and improve skin quality. However, its high viscosity and cohesivity may hinder its spread and distribution, while its injection by cannula or needle may require moderate extrusion force and lead to uneven distribution or focal accumulation in tissues. Thus, new or modified delivery techniques and tools have emerged, particularly from East Asian physicians. One such technique is hyperdilution with diluents such as lidocaine or normal saline. CaHA hyperdilution appears to be more frequently used by experienced injectors who have varying methodologies. Here, we demonstrate the precise delivery of diluted filler to treat indications related to hereditary volume deficits, volume loss, or aging in the periorbital, nasolabial and submalar regions, marionette lines, and hollowed mid-facial areas. Regardless of age or indication, dilution eases filler delivery for the injector, while using lidocaine as the diluent decreases patient discomfort and minimizes pain. Increasing injection diluent volumes reduces filler thickness (viscosity) and facilitates its even spread, encouraging skin stimulation through more direct contact with tissues and minimizing unevenness. Our results effectively demonstrate that hyperdilution is an innovative and positive evolution in CaHA filler delivery.

PAN-ASIAN CONSENSUS-Key Recommendations for Adapting the World Congress of Dermatology Consensus on Combination Treatment with Injectable Fillers, Toxins, and Ultrasound Devices in Asian Patients.

BACKGROUND. The demand for minimally invasive aesthetic procedures has driven requests by physicians for guidance on their use in Asian patients, who have unique cultural preferences, social trends, and anatomy. However, few guidelines exist, particularly on combination treatment strategies for different facial shapes or indications such as the modification of face shapes to the "oval ideal."Physicians must, therefore, apply Caucasian patient-optimized guidelines to their Asian patients. METHODS. Eleven specialists developed a consensus on the use of botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A), calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, and microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) devices in Asian patients on upper-, middle-, and lower-face indications, including strategies to modify different facial shapes to the oval shape. Approval from 70 to 90 percent of all participants led to moderate consensus, while 90 percent agreement denoted a strong consensus. RESULTS. For early intervention/enhancement and restoration, most combination strategies are similar between Asian and Caucasian patients. Compared to Caucasian patients, however, beautification is a more common focus in Asian patients. The "ideal" oval facial shape can be created using different interventions depending on the patient's baseline characteristics. CONCLUSIONS. Although treatments and treatment sequences for early intervention/enhancement and restoration for beautification in Asian patients are similar to those in Caucasian patients, different treatment strategies may be required.

Consensus Recommendations for Optimal Augmentation of the Asian Face with Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers.

BACKGROUND: Although the use of filling agents for soft-tissue augmentation has increased worldwide, most consensus statements do not distinguish between ethnic populations. There are, however, significant differences between Caucasian and Asian faces, reflecting not only cultural disparities, but also distinctive treatment goals. Unlike aesthetic patients in the West, who usually seek to improve the signs of aging, Asian patients are younger and request a broader range of indications. METHODS: Members of the Asia-Pacific Consensus group-comprising specialists from the fields of dermatology, plastic surgery, anatomy, and clinical epidemiology-convened to develop consensus recommendations for Asians based on their own experience using cohesive polydensified matrix, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers. RESULTS: The Asian face demonstrates differences in facial structure and cosmetic ideals. Improving the forward projection of the "T zone" (i.e., forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin) forms the basis of a safe and effective panfacial approach to the Asian face. Successful augmentation may be achieved with both (1) high- and low-viscosity cohesive polydensified matrix/hyaluronic acid and (2) calcium hydroxylapatite for most indications, although some constraints apply. CONCLUSION: The Asia-Pacific Consensus recommendations are the first developed specifically for the use of fillers in Asian populations. CLINCIAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, V.
