简要总结
A study conducting to see how well a treatment called Botulinum Toxin Type A works for reducing facial wrinkles. The study will help us understand if this treatment is safe and effective for making wrinkles on the face less noticeable.
详细描述
The primary purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Botulinum Toxin Type A in the treatment of facial wrinkles among a diverse population, with a specific aim to bridge the gap between cosmetic injectables and varying financial statuses of potential patients. This study intends to determine the degree to which Botulinum Toxin Type A can reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, identify the optimal dosage for significant cosmetic improvement with minimal side effects, and assess patient satisfaction with the outcomes. By conducting a rigorous, controlled, and open label methodology, this research aspires not only to provide comprehensive data supporting the use of Botulinum Toxin Type A as a safe and effective treatment for aesthetic improvement but also to make such treatments more accessible and affordable. This endeavor seeks to democratize cosmetic enhancements, ensuring that individuals across different economic backgrounds can benefit from advancements in cosmetic dermatology. Ultimately, the study aims to offer valuable insights into cost-effective practices without compromising treatment quality, thereby enhancing patient care practices and contributing significantly to the field of cosmetic dermatology.

研究组 & 干预措施
Single Group Assignment
Experimental: Botulinum Toxin Type A:
Patients will receive their first treatment on Day 1 after screening, with baseline facial muscle assessment on Day 0. Touch-up treatments will be given every 3 weeks until the sixth month. At Week 3, primary efficacy assessment will be conducted by evaluating facial movement control. Longevity assessment will occur at Month 6, with additional evaluation of immune response. This cycle will repeat for the second dose after six months until one year, and the same cycle will repeat for the 2nd dose.
干预措施: Botulinum toxin type A (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Facial Appearance
时间窗: Upto 2 years
Patients will provide feedback on their satisfaction with the treatment outcome and perceived changes in their facial appearance.
Change in facial wrinkles and Lines
时间窗: Upto 2 years
Visual Assessment: The Principal Investigator (PI) will visually assess the change in wrinkles and lines on the patient's face compared to baseline, using the following grading scale: Grade 0: No improvement in wrinkles. Grade 1: Minimal improvement, slight reduction in wrinkles. Grade 2: Moderate improvement, noticeable reduction in wrinkles. Grade 3: Significant improvement, substantial reduction in wrinkles. Assessment of Change in Wrinkles and Lines: Photographic Documentation: Before and after photographs will be taken to objectively compare the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines. The improvement will be graded using the following scale: Grade 0: No change or worsening of wrinkles. Grade 1: Slight improvement, minimal reduction in wrinkles. Grade 2: Moderate improvement, visible reduction in wrinkles. Grade 3: Significant improvement, marked reduction in wrinkles.
Assessment of Wrinkle Severity
时间窗: Upto 2 years
The WSRS will rate the severity of wrinkles on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 indicating no wrinkles and 5 indicating severe wrinkles.
次要结局
- Assessment of Skin Reaction(Upto 2 years)
