Abstract
In recent years, aesthetic medicine has seen a marked increase in interest in minimally invasive methods for correcting age-related changes in facial soft tissues. This is driven by the need to improve patients’ quality of life and prolong their social activity while simultaneously reducing rehabilitation time and the risk of complications. The objective of our study was to compare patient satisfaction and pain severity at various time points after endoscopic brow lifting using standard rehabilitation, microcurrent therapy, neodymium laser therapy, and a combination of these methods, based on patient satisfaction assessments and the visual analogue scale. The study demonstrated that the use of physiotherapy methods in the early rehabilitation period contributes to increased satisfaction with the endoscopic eyebrow lifting procedure, with the combined use of a neodymium laser and microcurrent therapy being superior to either of these physical methods alone.
