Abstract

Purpose: Optimizing outcomes of aesthetic treatments with injectable products usually requires a consideration of the entire face to ensure balance, along with combination treatments that align with the patient’s goals. To help injectors, a method of assessing the patient and developing an individualized, holistic treatment plan was developed. This methodology is termed Assessment, Anatomy, Range, and Treatment (AART™) and Holistic Individualized Treatments (HITs™). This article aims to describe and evaluate the novel and systematic AART-HIT™ methodology.
Methods: The AART-HIT™ methodology, including its associated diagnostic tool the Facial Assessment Scale (FAS™), were developed to aid injectors in completing a patient assessment in which the entire face is evaluated, the relevant anatomy is considered, the science behind the available range of products is understood, and the treatment plan is individualised for the patient. Specifically, the HITs™ are methodologic tools for practitioners to perform a standardized, full facial assessment and to create an individualized treatment approach to holistically address a patient’s aesthetic concerns. The use of this methodology in clinical practice was assessed via a survey, deployed to twenty-eight clinicians.
Results: Over 85% of participants agreed that the AART-HIT™ methodology was adequate for their needs. Additionally, 100% of participants agreed that the temporal sequencing of HITs™ and the FAS™ diagnostic tool was useful in clinical practice. Furthermore, over 70% of participants agreed that the anatomical locations identified in each HIT™ were sufficient, while over 80% responded that the HITs™ adequately represented the range of products. Finally, over 85% of participants agreed that the HITs™ covered different ethnic skin types and various patient ages and, over 80% of participants responded that they would not add additional elements to any of the 5 HITs™.
Conclusion: The AART-HIT™ methodology, including the FAS™ were comprehensive enough for clinical use in providing a personalised treatment plan for individual patients.

使用全系列注射美容产品，将您的 AART 转变为 HIT：产品组合方法，最大限度地提高患者疗效

目的：要优化注射产品美容治疗的效果，通常需要考虑整个面部，以确保平衡，同时进行符合患者目标的综合治疗。为了帮助注射人员，我们开发了一种评估患者并制定个性化整体治疗计划的方法。这种方法被称为评估、解剖、范围和治疗 (AART™) 和整体个性化治疗 (HITs™)。本文旨在描述和评估新颖、系统的 AART-HIT™ 方法：AART-HIT™ 方法包括相关的诊断工具面部评估量表 (FAS™)，其开发目的是帮助注射人员完成患者评估，在评估过程中要对整个面部进行评估，考虑相关的解剖结构，了解现有产品系列背后的科学原理，并为患者制定个性化的治疗方案。具体来说，HITs™ 是一种方法工具，供从业人员进行标准化的全面面部评估，并制定个性化的治疗方法，以全面解决患者的美学问题。通过对 28 名临床医生进行调查，评估了该方法在临床实践中的使用情况：结果：超过 85% 的参与者认为 AART-HIT™ 方法足以满足他们的需求。此外，100% 的参与者都认为 HITs™ 的时间排序和 FAS™ 诊断工具在临床实践中非常有用。此外，超过 70% 的参与者认为每个 HIT™ 中确定的解剖位置足够充分，超过 80% 的参与者认为 HITs™ 充分代表了产品的范围。最后，超过 85% 的参与者认为 HITs™ 涵盖了不同种族的皮肤类型和不同年龄段的患者，超过 80% 的参与者表示不会在 5 个 HITs™ 中添加其他元素：包括 FAS™ 在内的 AART-HIT™ 方法足够全面，可用于临床，为不同患者提供个性化治疗方案。关键词：填充剂、生物刺激剂、神经调节剂、透明质酸、教育、治疗技术

期刊介绍： Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the latest clinical and experimental research in all aspects of skin disease and cosmetic interventions. Normal and pathological processes in skin development and aging, their modification and treatment, as well as basic research into histology of dermal and dermal structures that provide clinical insights and potential treatment options are key topics for the journal. Patient satisfaction, preference, quality of life, compliance, persistence and their role in developing new management options to optimize outcomes for target conditions constitute major areas of interest. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of clinical studies, reviews and original research in skin research and skin care. All areas of dermatology will be covered; contributions will be welcomed from all clinicians and basic science researchers globally.
