“…Attractiveness is also influenced by expression, hair style, posture, culturally specific adornments, costume, cosmetics, and is relatively appreciated. Attractiveness is measured by a judger's (observer's) perceived first impression projected by the object in photographs but is better determined via dynamic video …”

A meteoric expansion in esthetic medicine followed the introduction of nonsurgical cosmetic neuromodulators and fillers in the early 2000s, which has been recently declining. The initial inertia has likely been tempered by the cosmetically interested patient's fear of appearing unnatural. Defining a natural outcome is a mission essential to the advancement of esthetic medicine; however, achieving a natural result following cosmetic intervention is a misnomer and a logically flawed endeavor that cannot exist. The ever elusive "natural" that is loudly desired by the populous, and ardently pursued by both industry and physicians, can only be an interpreted deduction. To better define a natural outcome, a novel model based on the theory of relativity is suggested. Attractiveness consists of a 3-dimensional area defined by beauty, genuineness, and self-esteem. When all three variables are at a maximum, a desirable attractive appearance is achieved that can be interpreted as "natural." Similar to the time-space dilemma, attractiveness is relative, dynamic, and highly dependent on the position of the projector and the interpreter. The 3D cube of attractiveness is therefore contained within a 4th dimension that takes into account the perspective of the judger. It is hoped that by realizing a new theory of what defines a natural outcome, esthetic medicine will be prepared to meet the needs of future generations.

“…While BTX and HA fillers have been shown to improve wrinkles, self‐esteem, and FIQ scores, they have not been shown to improve elements of the SQA alone . Therefore, it is most likely that the adjunctive skin care regimens are responsible for improvements in the SQA seen in this study.…”

Background Cosmeceutical therapies including face washes, moisturizers, chemical peels and antioxidant formulations are intended to improve the esthetic appearance of skin. The use of these products as adjuncts to full facial rejuvenation with hyaluronic acid filler and abobotulinumtoxinA may improve cosmetic and socio‐esthetic outcomes. Objective To characterize the effect of skin care products in subjects undergoing full facial rejuvenation with abobotulinumtoxinA and hyaluronic acid in improving facial skin appearance, patient satisfaction, and projected first impressions. Methods Twenty subjects were recruited and divided into two treatment groups. Subjects in Group A followed a standard skin care regimen, whereas subjects in Group B received a more robust skin care regimen including chemical peels and antioxidant formulations. All subjects underwent facial rejuvenation treatments with hyaluronic acid at Visit 2 and with abobotulinumtoxinA at Visit 7. Patient esthetic improvement, satisfaction, self‐esteem, and first impression were evaluated via the Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Assessment Scale, Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale, Skin Quality Assessment, Heatherton & Polivy State Self‐Esteem Scale, Subject Satisfaction Scale, and the First Impressions Questionnaire. Results Both treatment groups experienced significant improvements in the Skin Quality Assessment, Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Assessment Scale, Heatherton and Polivy State Self‐Esteem Scale, and First Impressions Questionnaire. Conclusion The cosmeceutical therapies used in this study in combination with abobotulinumtoxinA and hyaluronic acid filler improved subjects’ skin quality, self‐esteem, and projected first impressions. Larger studies are needed to determine the most efficacious combination of topical skin therapies with facial rejuvenation therapy.
