Abstract:
Recently, both doctors and patients pay particular attention to aesthetic medical services quality and efficacy of aesthetic adjustment implemented. It is essential to ensure research, analysis, and improving of botulinum toxin therapy quality and provide patients' orientation on the adjustment schedule, which includes long-term observation period, in order to accomplish the expected goals and increase degree of satisfaction. Injections of medication such as botulinum A toxin are highly demanded in many types of aesthetic treatment. However, practically, sufficient cosmetological effect may not always be achieved, and moreover, complications are possible. This article presents an attempt to evaluate botulinum toxin therapy efficacy using computer program, with calculation of integral quality factor (IQF) and plotting injection modeling visual diagram in long-term observation period. In 3 selected clinical examples, aggregate IQF figure makes: in case of static forehead wrinkles 91.67%, for dynamic forehead wrinkles 76.67%; in case of static eyebrow wrinkles 96.67%, for dynamic eyebrow wrinkles 85%; as applied to static wrinkles of the outer corned of the eye 91.67%, whereas applied to dynamic wrinkles of the outer corner of the eye 73.33%. Although the benchmark is thought to be 100% of remodeling result, the procedures outcome still meets patients' expectations. At the same time, present approach demands further discussion and collection for the purpose of development of procedural basis for aesthetic services quality assessment and interpretation of findings.
