Abstract

Background: The multifactorial nature of aging necessitates a comprehensive assessment addressing contour, volume, and facial laxity, and a holistic treatment plan. We evaluated combined use of HArmonyCa with HA fillers to improve laxity and overall aesthetic outcomes. A detailed guide is also presented regarding facial shapes, special areas, and volume needs.

Methods: This retrospective case series evaluates 10 patients' facial laxities with Facial Laxity Rating Scale using 2-dimensional before and after photographs (posttreatment and 6-month mark). Overall improvement was assessed by the investigator and patients by comparing to baseline. Patient satisfaction was measured with a questionnaire.

Results: The Facial Laxity Rating Scale scores (jowl and neck) were highest at baseline and lowest at 6-month mark. Facial laxity significantly improved over time for jowl (P < 0.001) and neck (P = 0.007). At the sixth month, facial laxity significantly improved compared with baseline both in jowl (P = 0.001) and neck (P = 0.011). Global Aesthetic Improvement Score evaluations improved significantly during the 6-month period (P < 0.001). Global Aesthetic Improvement Score was significantly higher at 6-month posttreatment compared with immediate posttreatment evaluation (P < 0.001). Patients were satisfied immediately after treatment and 6 months after. The satisfaction significantly improved at the sixth month compared with immediately after treatment (P = 0.033).

Conclusions: A combined use of HArmonyCa and HA fillers improves laxity in the lower face and neck and enhances aesthetic outcomes with high patient satisfaction. Overall improvement and patient satisfaction are higher at the sixth month, which is attributable to biostimulation.

联合使用海藻酸和透明质酸填充剂：面部年轻化的整体方法。

背景：衰老的多因素性质需要对轮廓、体积和面部松弛进行综合评估，并制定整体治疗计划。我们评估了HArmonyCa与HA填充物的联合使用，以改善松弛性和整体美观效果。详细的指南也提出了关于面部形状，特殊区域和体积需求。方法：采用面部松弛度评定量表对10例患者的面部松弛度进行回顾性评价，采用治疗前后和治疗后6个月的二维照片。研究者和患者通过与基线比较来评估总体改善情况。通过问卷调查来测量患者的满意度。结果：面部松弛评分量表（下颌和颈部）评分在基线时最高，在6个月时最低。随着时间的推移，脸颊（P < 0.001）和颈部（P = 0.007）的面部松弛度显著改善。在第6个月时，面部松弛度在下颌（P = 0.001）和颈部（P = 0.011）均较基线显著改善。整体审美改善评分在6个月期间显著改善（P < 0.001）。治疗后6个月的整体审美改善评分明显高于立即治疗后评估（P < 0.001）。治疗后即刻及6个月患者均满意。治疗第6个月患者满意度较治疗后立即提高（P = 0.033）。结论：HArmonyCa和HA填料的联合使用改善了下面部和颈部的松弛性，提高了美观效果，患者满意度高。总体改善和患者满意度在第六个月较高，这是由于生物刺激。
