Abstract:
Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of hyaluronic acid filler VYC-20L for full-face lifting in aesthetic seeking patients.Methods:Between November 2020 and November 2021, a total of 216 aesthetic seeking patients were enrolled in Shanghai Chingho Outpatient Department, World Path Clinic International, Qihe Medical Beauty Hospital and Qinhuangdao Qiaozhi Beauty Hospital, including 37 males and 179 females, aged 25-67 (41.42±10.93) years. According to the needs and requirements, the novel injection technique of " ROYGBbP-rainbow lifting method" was used to inject hyaluronic acid filler VYC-20L. The global aesthetic improvement scale (GAIS) and the treatment satisfaction questionnaires were scored and evaluated before the injection, and at follow-up visits 1, 6, and 12 months after the injection. Any adverse reaction or adverse events presenting or reported by the patients post-injection were recorded.Results:At 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after the injection, about 203 (94.0%), 208 (96.3%) and 205 (94.9%) of the aesthetic seeking patients rated their full-face appearance as " excellently improved" or " much improved" on the GAIS, respectively. And 12 months after the injection, the overall facial satisfaction scores and appearance recognition scores of all aesthetic seeking patients were all significantly higher than those before injection ( P<0.01). 197 (91.2%), 198 (91.7%) and 198 (91.7%) of the aesthetic seeking patients were " very satisfied" or " relatively satisfied" with the treatment at 1 month, 6 months and 12 months, respectively. Treatment site responses most frequently reported were tenderness, bruising, topical swelling and skin redness. Most of the symptoms were moderate or mild feeling, lasting for no more than two weeks. Conclusions:The application of hyaluronic acid filler VYC-20L is safe and effective for full-face lifting in aesthetic seeking patients, which can significantly improve facial sagging and rejuvenate the face. The effect of improvements can last for 12 months.
