Brief summary
This study is being conducted to improve standards of care in the cosmetic treatment of sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. VI Peels® and Botox® have been used cosmetically to improve patient concerns as monotherapies. This study seeks to confirm that the same-day combination creates no additional side-effects and furthermore that patient satisfaction is heightened as a result.
Detailed description
This study seeks to utilize the mechanisms of action of both products to simultaneously address fine lines and wrinkles. VI Peels contain a synergistic blend of acids that produce keratolytic and kerato-coagulation qualities focused on desquamation and cellular renewal. The VI Peel blend contains Trichloroacetic Acid, Phenol, Salicylic Acid, Retinoic Acid and Ascorbic Acid. Botox containing Botulinum toxin type A is a purified substance, derived from a bacterium that block muscular nerve signals temporarily preventing the muscular contraction and subsequent wrinkle formation. The expected benefit of this investigational combination include improvements to Standards of Care in relation to treatment of the cosmetic patient by establishing safety of the combination treatment, improving patient outcomes by simultaneously addressing sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles through dual mechanisms, and overall improvement to patient satisfaction.
Interventions
Same-Day combination of VI Peel applied to the full face, followed by Botox injection per label to the face.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events | Day 7 (+/- 3) | To establish safety of the same-day combination of VI Peel & Botox, the study will measure the rate and occurrence of Adverse Events as compared to a stand-alone treatment of Botox. Rate and occurrence of Botox as a stand-alone intervention will be based off of the package insert indicating each Adverse Event |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change to Facial Wrinkle Severity | Baseline, 7 (+/- 3) Days after Intervention, and 30 Days after Intervention | Overall improvements to fine lines and wrinkles will be measured using the Facial Wrinkle Severity Scale described below. Facial Wrinkle Severity Scale (FWSS) Grade 0 = no wrinkles; Grade 1 = mild wrinkles; Grade 2 = moderate wrinkles; and Grade 3 = severe wrinkles. Principal investigator will rate and measure subject on enrollment into the study, will grade again at Day 7 (+ / - 3) and again at Day 30. |
| Change to Uniformity of Pigment | Baseline, 7 (+/- 3) Days after Intervention, and 30 Days after Intervention | Overall improvements to pigment will be measured using the Uniformity of Pigment Scale described below. Uniformity of Pigment; Grade 0 = Uniform, Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = moderate to severe, Grade 4 = Severely Ununiform. Principal investigator will rate and measure subject on enrollment into the study, will grade again at Day 7 (+ / - 3) and again at Day 30. |
| Change to | Baseline, 7 (+/- 3) Days after Intervention, and 30 Days after Intervention | Overall improvements to Skin Tone will be measured via the Skin Tone grading scale below. Skin Tone; Grade 0 = Clear and Radiant, Grade 1 = Mild Irregularities, Grade 2 = Moderate Irregularities, Grade 3 = Moderate to Severe Irregularities, Grade 4 = Severe Irregularities, ie. Sallow, Dull. Principal investigator will rate and measure subject on enrollment into the study, will grade again at Day 7 (+ / - 3) and again at Day 30. |
