When strategically placed in specific MD Code™ areas, dermal fillers effectively lift jowls and reinforce the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System). The SMAS, a critical support structure beneath the skin and subcutaneous tissue is essential for maintaining facial and neck integrity.
The SMAS lies beneath the skin and subcutaneous tissue, serving as one of the most crucial facial and neck support structures. Strengthening the SMAS with strategically placed dermal fillers, as guided by MD Codes™, addresses issues like collagen loss, bone resorption, deep fat pad depletion, and muscle weakness. Volumising the deep fat pads with dermal fillers helps lift the ligaments that support the facial foundation.
CK1, CK2, CK4, and T1: Strengthen the SMAS, lifting the jowls up and outwards.
CK3: Volumises the deep cheek fat pad and the banana fat pad under the eyes, improving deep hollows.
CK5: Volumises hollow cheeks and lifts jowls.
C1 to C6: Feminise the jawline area, soften marionette lines, lift downturned mouth corners, and soften protruding chins.
JW1 to JW5: Improve the jawline, jowls, and double chin.
Nasolabial Folds: Soften deep lines around the nose and mouth.
Tear Troughs: Improve the appearance of under-eye hollows.
Lip Augmentation: Achieve natural-looking lip enhancements.
MD Codes™ identify specific anatomical points on the face for dermal filler injections. These points, chosen based on extensive anatomical studies and clinical experience, maximise aesthetic outcomes and minimise risks.
The face is divided into distinct regions and units: the cheeks, temples, jawline, chin, and forehead. Each region has specific codes corresponding to precise injection points.
MD Codes™ emphasise treating the face as a whole rather than focusing on isolated areas. This holistic approach ensures balanced and harmonious enhancements, addressing multiple facial ageing and structure aspects.
Skin Renewal doctors use MD Codes™ to create customised treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. This individualised, doctor-led approach enhances patient satisfaction and outcomes.
By following MD Codes™, Skin Renewal doctors can ensure safer and more effective treatments. The codes help avoid complications by steering injections away from high-risk areas and optimising product placement.
Natural Results: Achieve natural-looking enhancements and avoid the "overdone" look.
Predictability: MD Codes™ provide a predictable framework for consistent results.
Patient Satisfaction: Customised treatment plans based on MD Codes™ lead to higher patient satisfaction and confidence.
Educational Tool: MD Codes™ serve as an educational tool, enhancing practitioners' understanding of facial anatomy and filler techniques.
Midface and Cheeks: Enhance volume and contour.
Nasolabial Folds: Soften deep lines.
Lips: Enhance shape and volume.
Marionette Lines: Reduce lines running from the mouth to the chin.
Chin and Jawline: Define and contour.
Forehead and Temples: Restore volume and reduce wrinkles.

I have been to multiple Skin Renewals branches and changed my home branch as I wanted a new therapist. I visited Bedfordview after a long time for a doctors visit and honestly forgot how amazing the Reception team are. As you walk in, you are greeted with such warmth that you immediately feel special. The ladies should be the gold standard as they are just amazing. A special thanks to Maryke and Catarina. Will actually do all my doctor appointments at Bedfordview just to see the lovely team.
