| Popis: | BACKGROUND It is believed that combination treatment with both neuromodulators (NM) and hyaluronic acid soft-tissue fillers (HA) results in superior aesthetic results and increased patient satisfaction compared to either treatment alone. AIMS To determine whether combined treatment with NM and HA leads to greater patient retention than treatment with NM or HA alone. PATIENTS/METHODS This is a large, multi-center, retrospective review of patient retention rates from 7 aesthetic practices across 5 continents, incorporating over 2600 patients. Patient retention is interpreted as a surrogate marker for overall patient satisfaction. Retention rates were compared at 1, 3, and 5 years for patients who received NM only, HA only, or combination treatment with both NM and HA. RESULTS Combination therapy significantly increased the probability of retention for each time point (1, 3, and 5 years) compared with NM alone (P |
