AART

Every individual has their own unique Aesthetic Journey, which goes beyond just treatment. It touches on all aspects of the interaction between patient and practitioner, including consultation, treatment, and after-care.

To ensure an individualized approach in facial aesthetics, Galderma uses the AART methodology:

  • ASSESSMENT – Identify patients’ needs and define improvement areas
  • ANATOMY – Consider the underlying anatomy
  • RANGE – Understand the properties, uses, and science behind each available product
  • TREATMENT – Translate patient priorities into Holistic Individualized Treatments (HITs)

Dr. Andreas Nikolis explains the importance of  applying the AART methodology in your clinic.

Assessment

Assessment

Facial assessment ensures all aspects of the face are evaluated:1

  • Skin quality
  • Facial shape
  • Facial symmetry
  • Facial proportion and contour
  • Animation and emotional expression

The Galderma Facial Assessment Scale (FAS) has been developed to guide consultations by grading these five facets.1

Benefits for consultation1

  • Ensures facial assessment is systematic, standardized and covers the entire face
  • Allows the patient to participate in their own treatment plan, making them more likely to opt for combination treatments
  • Simplifies the evolution of the treatment plan for the patient
  • Empowers you to lead a structured consultation, with an easy-to-follow process and support materials that can be applied online and in-person
  • Increases patient satisfaction, which leads to loyalty to your clinic and referral to new patients

Dr. Christoph Martschin shares a clinical example of  how to use the Galderma FAS.

Anatomy

The face is generally organized into five different layers:2

  • Skin
  • Connective
  • Aponeurosis
  • Loose connective tissue
  • Periosteum

This is the general alignment, but there are facial regions where this differs, for example:2

  • 3 layers in the infraorbital region
  • 9 layers in the temporal region

Common trouble spots on the aged face:2

Glabellar region

Vertical and horizontal wrinkles due to aging of orbicularis oculi muscles, procerus, corrugator supercilii, and depressor supercilii muscles

Retro-orbicularis oculi fat (ROOF) compartment

Sagging due to changes in underlying bone and laxity of the orbicularis oculi muscle, orbicularis retaining ligament, and frontalis muscle

Suborbicularis oculi fat (SOOF) compartment

At medial boundary, tear trough ligament formed by merging of the zygomatic and the orbicularis retaining ligaments. Inferior boundary is zygomatic ligament and is partially responsible for appearance of malar mounds

Nasolabial sulcus

Formed by the traction of the underlying facial expression muscles and overlying superficial nasolabial fat compartment

Mandibular ligament

Attachment point for skin and other structure to bone. Jowl deformity here due to inferior migration of fat compartments

Regardless of age, it is critical to remember the vasculature of the face when using established injection practices. Avoiding adverse events such as vascular compromise and tissue necrosis is of utmost importance for patients and the facial aesthetic field overall.3

Holistic Individualized Treatments (HITs)

Galderma has developed Holistic Individualized Treatments (HITs) - a patient-centric approach for prioritizing the right combination of products in each treatment area:

  • Bright Eyes
  • Glow On
  • Kiss & Smile
  • Shape Up
  • Balanced Profile

Hear from the experts

Dr. Christoph Martschin walks through each of the HITs and what patient types will benefit from each combination.

Bright Eyes

5 out of 6 identify the eye area as their highest facial concern regardless of age34

70% feel they look tired and older due to under-eye shadows34

Bright Eyes HIT

The Bright Eyes HIT addresses tear trough deformity and smooths wrinkles around the eyes. Two people may have the same concern for their eye area, such as looking ‘tired, grumpy, aged’. But the cause may differ, so an individualized solution approach is needed.

The Kiss and Smile HIT is a framework designed to enhance the lips and perioral area. For some, this may include treatment for lack of/loss of lip volume or lines and wrinkles that impact the lips and lower face impression, such as, barcodes and marionette lines. For others, this may also include improving the periocular area by treating lateral canthal lines with neuromodulators. Each patient has a unique lips story and a different definition of the perfect lips, which calls for a truly individualized approach.
