The Combined Benefits of Definisse™ Revitalise Threads and Definisse [KP1]^® Redensifying Cream Treatments: A...

Peptides, particularly SA1-III decapeptide, play a key role in maintaining skin structure by inhibiting collagen degradation. The aim of this analysis was to investigate the combined effects of Definisse™ Revitalise Threads and Definisse [KP1]^® Redensifying Cream containing SA1-III for facial rejuvenation. Patients receiving Definisse™ Revitalise Threads were offered Definisse™ Redensifying Cream for one month. Outcomes-including efficacy, safety, and patient satisfaction-were assessed over six months using 3D imaging, clinical evaluation, and the FACE-Q™ questionnaire. Due to the sample size, data were summarised descriptively, with group comparisons using exact Mann-Whitney U tests and paired analyses using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test (p < 0.05). Nineteen individuals underwent treatment with Definisse™ Revitalise Threads (17 females and 2 males, aged 38-72 years); 10 patients used additional Definisse [KP1]^® Redensifying Cream while 9 did not. All patients reported significant improvements in skin satisfaction, cheek fullness, and perceived aging, based in FACE-Q^TM scores before and after treatment. Thread treatment visibly improved facial appearance, but the addition of the peptide-containing cream further enhanced skin quality. Indeed, greater improvements in skin satisfaction were reported by individuals using vs. not using Definisse [KP1]^® Redensifying Cream. No adverse events were reported, and the FACE-Q^TM Adverse Effects scale indicated only mild, transient effects. In this preliminary series with a six-month follow-up, the combination of Definisse Revitalise Threads and Definisse^® Redensifying Cream was well-tolerated and showed potential for enhancing facial rejuvenation. These preliminary findings suggest that peptide-based cosmeceuticals may complement aesthetic procedures and support skin health. These preliminary results will be used to generate hypotheses for larger studies with longer follow-up, which are needed to confirm these effects.
