The harmony of the face is based on the overall balance of features and the consistency of proportions. A face is perceived as harmonious when its different structures are organized in a balanced way, without one element dominating the others.
Symmetry is one of the major criteria of this harmony. It corresponds to a proportionate distribution of facial elements, both in width and in height. Even if perfect symmetry does not exist, a good balance between the two sides of the face contributes to a natural aesthetic perception.
Proportions also play an essential role. Facial analysis relies on recognized reference points, inspired in particular by mathematical principles such as the golden ratio, in order to assess the relationship between the different areas of the face.
Volumes, curves, and facial features fully contribute to facial harmony. The shape of the cheekbones, the lips or the chin, as well as the size and shape of the nose, influence the overall balance. The goal is to respect these parameters in order to preserve the identity of the face and improve its natural balance.
A facial imbalance can have several origins. Heredity plays a major role, as the bony structure, the distribution of volumes, and certain asymmetries are largely determined by each individual’s genetic heritage.
The face can also change over the course of life. Certain diseases, trauma, or significant weight variations can alter the balance of facial features and lead to visible changes.
Aging is a common cause of loss of facial harmony. Over time, the skin loses elasticity, tissues loosen, and volumes gradually decrease. This phenomenon can cause sagging in certain areas of the face and accentuate asymmetries that were previously subtle.
BeautiPHIcation™ is a facial analysis technique whose goal is to create harmonious proportions. Beauty, in fact, is not achieved only through the restoration of youth, but also through the balance created between anatomical structures. The golden ratio, also called Phi, represents the perfect ratio that physicians try to restore between the elements of the face, its value is 1,618.
The perception of facial beauty is partly based on universal criteria related to balance and proportions. Many studies suggest that certain mathematical rules influence our aesthetic perception, regardless of cultures and eras.
The golden ratio, also called phi and corresponding to the value 1,618, is often associated with facial harmony. It describes proportional relationships found in nature, art, and in certain faces considered particularly attractive. These proportions notably concern the relationships between the mouth, the nose, and the different widths of the face.
This organization creates an impression of visual balance that seems naturally pleasing to the eye. Some theories suggest that our brain is instinctively drawn to symmetry and harmonious proportions, associated with health and vitality.
In aesthetic-oriented medicine, the golden ratio is not a standard to be achieved, but a reference point for analysis. It helps assess the overall harmony of the face while respecting the uniqueness and identity of each patient.
Leonardo da Vinci long studied the mathematical code of beauty and perfection. He found the PHI ratio, which is considered the perfect proportion.
At the level of the face, this ratio can be reproduced using a harmony compass. Facial elements are measured and modified with the help of this compass to bring them closer to the perfect proportion.
A harmonious face is a face in which the PHI rule is respected and that meets the five criteria of natural beauty :
Aesthetic-oriented medicine now makes it possible to treat the face in a global and personalized way, without surgery. It aims to correct the signs of aging, rebalance volumes, and improve skin quality, while respecting the natural features and expressions of the face.
The hyaluronic acid is one of the most commonly used treatments in aesthetic-oriented medicine. Naturally present in the body, it is biodegradable and perfectly well tolerated. Injections help restore lost volume, reshape certain areas such as the cheekbones, chin, or facial contour, and rebalance proportions. Depending on the type of product used, hyaluronic acid can also improve skin hydration and suppleness.
With the help of the proportions compass, facial elements are measured and studied in isolation and within the overall harmony of the face. They will be modified (lengthened, projected, increased...) by targeting the divine proportion : the golden ratio. Rejuvenation and enhancement will be subtle and natural, independent of age, sex, and ethnic origins since they are governed by a mathematical rule.
The result is immediate and lasts about one year.
Skinboosters are intended to treat skin quality rather than volume. They consist of a lightly cross-linked hyaluronic acid, which deeply hydrates the skin, improves its quality and revives the radiance of the complexion. This treatment is particularly indicated for dehydrated, dull skin or skin marked by the first fine lines, and contributes to a natural rejuvenation of the face.
Medical profiloplasty consists of analyzing the face in profile in order to harmonize its proportions. The forehead, nose, lips, chin, and cheekbones are studied as a whole to restore aesthetic consistency. Corrections are performed in a targeted way, most often using injections, in order to achieve a natural and balanced result, adapted to the patient’s morphology.
The MD Codes correspond to an injection method based on precise anatomical points of the face. This approach makes it possible to treat the effects of aging while taking into account the patient’s emotions and morphology. Each injection point has a specific action on tissue support, volumes, and the overall harmony of the face.
The botulinum toxin is used to relax certain muscles responsible for expression lines. It helps smooth the forehead, soften the eyes, and prevent deeper wrinkles from settling in when the treatment is maintained over time. The goal is to achieve a rested face, without freezing expressions.
The cryolipolysis is a non-invasive technique that helps reduce localized fat deposits, particularly in the area of the double chin. Controlled cooling leads to the progressive destruction of fat cells that are resistant to diet and physical activity, thus improving the lower third of the face.
Facial beauty is not based only on harmonious proportions or perfect symmetry. Facial expressions play a major role in aesthetic perception, as they reflect emotions, personality, and vitality.
The smile is the expression that most influences the perception of attractiveness, well-being, and youth. Conversely, a face frozen by excessive treatments may appear artificial and lose its natural look. This is why aesthetic-oriented medicine procedures must preserve facial mobility and expressions.
Over time, certain wrinkles or hollows can give a tired, severe, or sad appearance. Aesthetic treatments help reduce these negative expressions in order to give the face a more rested and more open look, while respecting its natural expression.
To harmonize facial proportions while respecting the golden ratio (1,618), several aesthetic-oriented medicine treatments can be considered :
• Hyaluronic acid injections to restore volume, correct asymmetries, and redefine contours (cheekbones, chin, jawline).
• Injection contouring for sharper features and to refine specific areas.
• Thread lifts to reposition tissues and rebalance facial proportions.
• Skinboosters to improve skin radiance and texture and achieve a more harmonious appearance.
Each treatment is personalized according to facial analysis and the patient’s expectations.
The ideal proportions according to the golden ratio are based on the balance between the different parts of the face :
• The height of the face should be divided into three equal thirds (forehead, nose, chin).
• The width of the face should correspond to twice the width of the eye.
• The nose should align proportionally between the eyes and the mouth.
Yes, hyaluronic acid injections are ideal for adjusting proportions and harmonizing the face according to the golden ratio.
The results of hyaluronic acid injections generally last between 12 and 18 months, depending on the product used, the treated area, and the patient’s metabolism.
