These factors contribute to a reduction in facial volume and the development of skin changes.

The assessment of skin quality was conducted using the Scientific Assessment Scale of Skin Quality (SASSQ), which was completed by blinded experts. Patient satisfaction was evaluated using the FACEQ scale. Additionally, objective texture analysis was performed using the MAZDA program, which quantified surface irregularities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The objective assessments demonstrated statistically significant improvements in the following parameters: roughness, wrinkles, pore size, elasticity, pigmentation, and erythema (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).
