journey without appearing inflated and artificial.

From the different types of dermal fillers available to the latest techniques and innovations, you’ll come away with a better understanding of how dermal fillers can help you achieve your desired appearance.

Dermal Fillers: What are they and How do they Work?
Over time, people experience age-related bone loss in the face that can lead to jawline retraction, nose descent, and high cheekbones loss. Some people also find the facial muscles decrease in volume and elasticity, leading to the deflation and movement of facial fat, further accentuating the signs of aging in the face.
Once the skin stretches and loses elasticity, compounded by the loss of scaffolding provided by fat, muscle, and bone, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin, and other familiar signs of aging. Dermal fillers, an injectable treatment performed in a doctor’s office, can help smooth lines and
replenish lost volume, restoring a more youthful appearance.

Dermal Fillers and the Use of MD Codes
MD Codes provide medical doctors with a universal symbolic language for reducing the variability of injection techniques. The MD Codes platform provides user-friendly algorithms to help medical doctors increase patient satisfaction by going beyond treating lines and folds and focusing on reducing negative facial attributes.
The MD CODES provides a framework to evaluate and customize treatment plans using dermal fillers appropriately. The ability of a medical doctor to perform a “non-surgical face lift” allows us to treat patients in a medical office safely and efficiently without taking significant time out of their daily lives.
MD Codes is a systematic approach to facial revitalization developed by a globally renowned Plastic Surgeon and Aesthetic Clinician, Dr. Mauricio De Maio. It is a systematic, holistic approach that focuses on improving the overall emotional messages of the face, such as looking less sad or angry. By doing so, medical doctors may improve patient satisfaction with treatment outcomes. MD Codes have forever changed how we look at medical aesthetics and the proper use of dermal fillers.
Please refer to the following article about MD Codes by Dr. Mauricio De Maio.
The outcomes, always predictable as a plan, are customized to each patient. The question becomes, why are these results natural? And the answer is one word, “Anatomy.”
Each individual has unique anatomy and appropriate consultation techniques, including
but not limited to 360-degree photos and meticulous medical facial assessment by your
Medical doctors, it becomes more than just a framework but a masterpiece customized to each individual.
Types of Dermal Fillers: Which One is Right for You?
Juvederm is a name that has gained much recognition and association with dermal fillers. It is a
brand of Hyaluronic acid injectable products which comes in various densities and indications of
use in the face. It still stands as one of the preferred products for procedures performed with the
techniques described by the MD CODES.
Only when placed in the experienced hands of a medical doctor can they mimic the structural effects of bone and soft tissue in the face. Juvéderm products are chosen based on the desired result.
The Benefits of Dermal Fillers for Lip Augmentation
To restore volume in the lips, one must choose a product that integrates into the tissue and provides volume yet is also soft, allowing for the natural appearance of the lips both at rest and while actively speaking or eating.
Restoring Volume and Reduce Wrinkles: Dermal Fillers for the Face
