Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Facial aging is a multifactorial process characterized by structural changes to the dermis and ligaments, lipoatrophy in the fat pads and hypodermis, remodeling of the bony skeleton, change in muscle tonicity and tissue descent. Aims: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a hyaluronic acid-based treatment for the aging face that addresses all its causes in a caudal to cranial and medial to lateral direction: the centrifugal technique. Methods: Between March 2015 and January 2018, 187 patients were treated with a high G’ hyaluronic acid in two sessions, one/two weeks apart, to improve signs of facial aging, starting from the lower centrofacial area and progressing laterally and cranially. Results were assessed using a Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) judging pre- and post-treatment (32 weeks) pictures. Results: The technique effectively treated the aging face. The investigator and all patients evaluated the results improved or very much improved and agreed that the results were very natural looking. Conclusion: Use of a systematic centrifugal technique to address the signs of facial aging resulted in significant and long-lasting improvement, as judged by the investigator and high patient acceptance and satisfaction.
