In Search of a Universal and Objective Method to Assess Facial Aging: The New Face Objective Photo-Numerical Assessment Scale

This review outlines various clinical methods for assessing ageing skin and discusses their application in supporting the efficacy claims of anti-ageing treatments, but it reports no new clinical results.

This thesis analyzed four skin aging features and their relationships with lifestyle, physiological factors, and genetics.

This article argues that esthetic dermatology could benefit from a more biologically informed approach through the integration of advanced biomarkers and imaging technologies, but cautions that many tools are not yet fully validated for clinical use.

This narrative review concluded that facial aging involves complex anatomical changes that require multimodal rejuvenation approaches, integrating fillers, collagen stimulators, botulinum toxin, and energy-based devices for effective results, while emphasizing the need for scientific evidence and patient safety in aesthetic treatments.

This study highlights ongoing limitations in the administration and reporting of FACE-Q Aesthetic scale data, recommending that future research follow the User's Guide for proper administration and scoring, justify the study's time frame, and provide sample size calculations for key outcomes.
