MD Codes

Patient needs and trends in aesthetic medicine are constantly evolving.

In view of the many techniques that are emerging over time, patients are now more demanding. This means that comprehensive treatment is needed, rather than a single action on an isolated area of the face, for example.
Thanks to MD Codes, aesthetic doctors now have a coded plan. This allows them to harmonise their patient’s face through a set of personalised corrections.

What are MD Codes ?

MD codes were invented in 2015 by a world-renowned Brazilian plastic surgeon. He devised this new type of treatment to correct his patients’ faces using hyaluronic acid, in a more natural way that is tailored to each individual. With this technique, the doctor takes an interest in the patient’s social and emotional needs in order to meet their expectations in a unique way.

The MD Codes are represented by a very precise map: there are 75 injection sites spread across the face. Each injection site is represented by a combination of letters and numbers – the letters represent the anatomical area and the numbers thechiffres la séquence d’injection.

Thanks to the MD Codes, the doctor can harmonise the patient’s face by adapting the type of hyaluronic acid, the injection technique, the depth and the material used to suit these areas.

Hyaluronic acid injections by MD Codes: precautions to take

As before any aesthetic medical treatment, it is essential to inform your doctor of any allergies, skin sensitivities or possible infections.

You should also avoid taking certain medicines before the session (anti-inflammatory, aspirin).

Hyaluronic acid injections by MD Codes: how the session works

Thanks to very precise mapping, the doctor can restructure the patient’s face by acting on the cause of skin ageing and not just its consequences. The idea is to listen to the patient and his or her needs during the initial consultation.

A thorough study of the bone structure, muscles and blood supply to the face will be carried out by an MD Codes expert.

During the session, the doctor follows the injection plan set up following his analysis and the patient’s expectations. Each of these sessions resembles a conventional hyaluronic acid session, often with several injections of a filling product. The precautions to be taken before and after remain identical.

Hyaluronic acid injections by MD Codes: results

The MD Codes expert doctor’s in-depth analysis gives the patient a unique and personalised final result. Depending on the patient’s request and needs, the result will target one or more emotional attributes:

  • Appear less relaxed;
  • Appear less sad;
  • Appear less tired;
  • Appear less stern;
  • Appear thinner;
  • Look younger;
  • Appear more feminine;
  • Appear more masculine.

As well as the personalised reshaping of your features, your skin will of course benefit from the advantages of hyaluronic acid: a radiant complexion, smoother skin and deep hydration.

Results are visible immediately and generally last between 12 and 18 months. Hyaluronic acid resorbs naturally in our bodies, so additional sessions can be carried out to prolong the effect of your session(s).

After each session, it is important to pay attention to :

  • Do not massage the treated areas to allow the product to set properly;
  • Avoid places that are too hot (sauna, hammam) or exposed to the sun;
  • Do not do sport or strenuous exercise.
