Objective:
The primary goal of the study is to evaluate the effect of Beginnings® on the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and hypo-pigmentation (FlWHh).
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS:
The Study on Beginnings® and fine lines, wrinkles and hypo-pigmentation (FlWHh) was a randomized, placebo-controlled. A total of 100 individuals with varying degrees of visible wrinkles, visible lines and/or hypo-pigmentation were selected. Patients were randomly assigned to receive a treatment of Beginnings ® (n = 50) or placebo (n 50). The groups were compared immediately after the application and at the end of the 21 day trial and total of 9 applications. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE, RESULTS: The primary decrease in appearance of FlWHh after the first application appeared in 47 (94%) patients taking Beginnings ® vs. 8 (16%) patients taking placebo. In comparison after the 21days, analyses showed reduced appearance of FlWHh to 49 (98%) vs. the placebo 13 (26%) CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate evidence of a strong association between Beginnings® and decrease of FlWHh.
