MD Codes: Advanced Facial Rejuvenation Technique in Los Angeles
MD Codes represent a highly structured, anatomical approach to injectable facial rejuvenation. Developed by Dr. Mauricio de Maio, a Brazilian plastic surgeon, MD Codes provide a systematic framework for dermal filler placement at over 40 precise facial points. This method targets the underlying causes of aging—such as volume loss, bone resorption, and soft tissue descent—rather than simply smoothing superficial lines.
As a result, MD Codes facilitate tailored, natural-looking results based on each patient’s unique facial structure and aging patterns. Dr. Sherly Soleiman, MD, is among a select group of U.S. practitioners with advanced, direct training in MD Codes, ensuring the highest level of expertise for patients at Cosmetic Injectables Center Medspa.
How MD Codes Differ from Traditional Filler Techniques
Precision and Personalization
Traditional filler treatments often focus on isolated lines or hollows, using a “fill and smooth” approach. In contrast, MD Codes emphasize the restoration of facial harmony and proportion by addressing volume loss and asymmetry at anatomically significant points. This technique allows for individualized treatment plans that enhance the natural contours of the face, rather than simply filling wrinkles.
Comprehensive Facial Assessment
MD Codes are based on a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy and the aging process. By mapping out over 40 injection points—including the cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, and periorbital areas—MD Codes enable certified injectors to address the root causes of facial aging. This approach supports subtle, proportional enhancements that respect the patient’s natural features.
Key Benefits of the MD Codes Technique
Volume Restoration
Aging leads to the loss of facial fat and bone density, resulting in a hollow or sagging appearance. MD Codes guide precise filler placement to restore volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline, producing a more youthful and contoured look.
Correction of Facial Asymmetry
Facial asymmetry is common and can be accentuated by age-related changes. The MD Codes framework allows for targeted correction of asymmetries, creating greater facial balance through subtle, strategic injections.
Natural Enhancement
Unlike some traditional filler methods that may result in overfilled or unnatural appearances, MD Codes prioritize minimal product use and strategic placement. The outcome is a refreshed, natural-looking result that enhances the patient’s inherent beauty.
Support for Sagging Soft Tissue
MD Codes can help support and lift sagging soft tissues, such as the jawline or nasolabial folds, by reinforcing key structural points. This helps prevent further descent and improves overall facial integrity.
