aesthetics

development of scales

Facial types vary between gender and ethnicity and facial structures change heavily during aging process.

In practice dermatologists, plastique surgeons and aesthetic physicians have to assess different facial landmarks beside the the total facial impression - the same holds true for the body.

For professional aesthetic treatments incl clinical studies we offer development of reliable and reproducible methods e.g. scales to analyze facial and body characteristics.

These scales cover signs & symptoms of aging such as mimic wrinkles in the upper face, sagging of jawline, Marionette lines, Cellulite, Elastosis of upper arms or Dekolleté and have proven benefit as validated instruments that can be used in clinical research and in the daily practice to support consultation & improvement of patient care.

Digital and live validation in two rounds each are the basis to demonstrate intra- and inter-rater reliability.
