My Approach & the MD Codes
Since everyone’s face and motivation for treatment are unique, the treatment approach should be adjusted to each person’s unique needs and their unique emotional desires.
In my clinic I am looking at the full picture and helping our patients focus on how they want to feel from treatment, versus focusing on bothersome lines and folds in isolation. Taking this approach leads to higher patient satisfaction.
I have studied the work of and received training on a new approach to facial aesthetics by Dr Mauricio de Maio. Dr de Maio is an internationally respected facial aesthetics expert, who has pioneered an innovative way of treating facial lines – called the MD Codes™ – that focuses on the full face and on how patients want to feel, versus simply targeting lines.
I have adopted these highly skilled methods along with many leading-edge aesthetic physicians which changes how we as physician look at how we treat the signs of aging.
The MD Codes specifically help cosmetic physicians recognize how areas of the face are directly linked to certain emotional attributes, and identify the right treatment points and techniques that will deliver effective and natural-looking results by focusing on how people want to feel post-treatment.
I see a lot of patients focus on specific wrinkles, folds or facial lines – but what is their face saying about them and how do they feel? What do they really want to convey when they see themselves out and about, as other people see them?
I firmly believe that my responsibility as a physician is that good cosmetic physicians need to be more than just injectors of Botox and dermal fillers (like Juvederm). They need to be experts. The MD Codes were developed as a new language in facial aesthetics to help physicians accurately read the messages of the face and develop the best possible treatment. The MD Codes system helps focus on results, so that a patient’s treatment is based on their individual goals, for example to look:
- More feminine
- Less saggy
- Less tired
- Less sad
- Younger
- Happier
- Slimmer
- More attractive
Since everyone’s face and motivation for treatment are unique, the treatment approach should be adjusted to each person’s unique needs and their unique emotional desires.
As a Doctor I look at the full picture and helping my patients focus on how they want to feel from treatment versus focusing on bothersome lines and folds in isolation.
Taking this approach leads to higher patient satisfaction.
As an MD Codes™ physician my clinic provides a comprehensive approach to assessing and treating our patients. It is the next step in the movement away from simply treating wrinkles to treating the face holistically and respectfully, and to deliver the best possible results that are consistently natural-looking.
