As time goes on, our skin loses its youthful elasticity and volume, leading to unwanted wrinkles and sagging. If you’re looking for a way to regain the smooth skin and fresh-faced glow of your younger days without surgery or downtime, facial fillers might be the solution for you.

What Are Facial Fillers?

Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles and enhance your facial contours. These gel-like substances are injected into the skin to plump and lift the targeted areas.

Our expert physicians at Nouveau MedSpas perform all filler injections, ensuring you receive the best possible care. Additionally, we utilize MD Codes, a series of precise injection points, to optimize your results.

What to Expect During Your Facial Filler Treatment

A typical facial filler procedure involves your practitioner cleansing and sterilizing the treatment area and applying a topical anesthetic (numbing cream), if desired. The filler will be strategically injected into the target areas using a fine needle or cannula.

The treatment process can be completed in as few as 15 minutes, but the total time will depend on the treatment area and how much filler is used.

What Are MD Codes™ for Filler Injections?

MD Codes, or medical codes, is a comprehensive system of pre-defined injection points on the face designed to optimize the use of dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation and enhancement. Developed by Dr. Mauricio de Maio, a renowned Brazilian plastic surgeon, these codes serve as a guide to achieve predictable and consistent results with filler treatments.

The primary goal of MD Codes is to shift the focus from treating individual wrinkles or lines to addressing the underlying causes of facial aging, such as volume loss, sagging and changes in facial structure. By identifying the appropriate injection sites and techniques, the system provides a more natural and harmonious outcome, enhancing your overall facial appearance rather than just targeting isolated problem areas.

Every MD Code encompasses details about the ideal injection depth, delivery instrument (cannula or needle), method of administering the filler and amount of product needed to obtain noticeable, consistent outcomes. While devising treatment plans, suitable MD Codes are chosen based on algorithms that aim to diminish negative facial features (like a drooping, exhausted, unhappy or irritable appearance) and accentuate positive aspects (such as a youthful, well-defined, or gentle feminine or strong masculine appearance).

In essence, MD Codes serve as a roadmap for us to deliver safe, effective and personalized dermal filler treatments with the best possible results.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

After your treatment at Nouveau MedSpas, you may experience mild redness, swelling or bruising at the injection sites. These side effects usually subside within 24 hours.

Downtime and Restrictions After Facial Fillers

One of the benefits of facial fillers is that they require minimal downtime. You can return to your regular activities immediately after treatment, but it is recommended to avoid the following for at least the first 24 hours:

• Rubbing the treated area
• Strenuous exercise
• Excessive sun exposure
• Exposure to excessive heat
• Applying makeup to the injected area
