Abstract
Material and methods. We observed 20 female patients aged 30 to 40 years (median 36.7±1.9 years) who came to the appointment with complaints of involutional changes in the facial skin (xerosis, decreased turgor, wrinkles). All patients underwent injection therapy procedures: Lenisna – facial contouring (temporal area, cheek area, chin), JuveLook – for the periorbital area. Efficiency was assessed using the SASSQ scale, qualitative characteristics of the skin (hydration, elasticity, severity of wrinkles).
Results of the study. The dynamics of the SASSQ scale was 45.6%, skin hydration increased almost 2 times, the elasticity index increased by 41.7%, the «severity of wrinkles» index decreased by 16.7%.
Conclusion. The use of Lenisna and JuveLook preparations containing PDLLA and HA allows to significantly improve the qualitative characteristics of the skin and restore tissue volume in case of involutional changes.
