Figure 1 Mean total wrinkle score by treatment and by race over 4 years of follow-up. Racial groups (white and black) stratified by treatment group are indicated by gray and black lines, respectively. Total wrinkle score was not significantly different among treatment groups at any time point (P=.24). Black women, compared with white women, had the lowest total wrinkle scores across all 4 years (P=.002).

Figure 2 Mean total rigidity score by treatment and by race over 4 years of follow-up. Racial groups (white and black) stratified by treatment group indicated by gray and black lines, respectively. Total rigidity did not vary significantly among treatment groups at any time point (P=.87). Black women, compared with white women, had significantly decreased total facial rigidity after 4 years of follow-up (P=.002).
