[OBJECTIVE] To evaluate patient satisfaction and psychosocial impact of multimodal aesthetic treatment in a millennial cohort.

[METHODS AND MATERIALS] In this single-center, prospective, rater-blinded, pilot study, 20 millennial participants received a samevisit combination facial aesthetic treatment using botulinum toxin and dermal fillers, with an optional botulinum toxin touch-up at 2 weeks. Assessments were conducted at baseline and 2 months post-treatment. The primary endpoint was change in satisfaction with overall facial appearance post-treatment. Secondary endpoints included changes in satisfaction with various facial areas, social and psychosocial functioning, self-perceived age, and blinded clinician assessment.

[RESULTS] Participants reported significantly greater satisfaction with overall facial appearance 2 months post-treatment when compared to pre-treatment (P<0.001). Participants self-reported numerous improvements in appearance, including greater satisfaction with various properties of the lips, cheeks, and overall facial lines, self-perceived age, and social and psychological functioning.

[CONCLUSION] Combination botulinum toxin and dermal filler treatment is a safe and effective means of improving millennial satisfaction with overall facial appearance and various facial areas, decreasing self-perceived age, and improving aspects of psychosocial functioning.
