FACE-Q ANALYSIS OF BOTULINUM TOXIN APPLICATION IN AESTHETIC MEDICINE

Summary/Abstract: The number of aesthetic procedures worldwide, as well as in our country, is growing, and there is a noticeable increase in the number of men as patients of aesthetic medicine. This research analyzes the effects of botulinum toxin application in aesthetic medicine and its safety profile. Subjects and research methods: The research was conducted from November 1, 2024, to March 10, 2025. This study used the FACE-Q aesthetic module, which was developed for facial aesthetic procedures and proved to be a reliable instrument for measuring patient-reported outcomes after treatment. Results: The study included 29 (29%) male and 71 (71%) female participants. The results indicate a significant difference between pre- and post-treatment assessments in all domains of the FACE-Q scales, and all findings are statistically highly significant (p < 0.001). The mean value of the appearance satisfaction scale increased from 61.33 ± 18.21 to 89.5 ± 5.73, indicating a strong improvement in subjective perception of appearance. An even more pronounced increase was recorded on the skin appearance satisfaction scale, where the mean value increased from 49.06 ± 18.09 before treatment to 91.64 ± 6.14 after treatment, which represents the largest absolute shift in this analysis. Wrinkle related scales also show a strong change. Conclusion: The post-treatment results indicate a high degree of satisfaction with all aspects of facial appearance, particularly with a pronounced sense of harmony and aesthetic balance. These findings indicate the success of the treatment in improving subjective face perception and can serve as a strong argument for its efficacy in clinical and aesthetic practice.
