Aesthetic medicine techniques are increasingly replacing surgical procedures for the treatment of the face. Treatment plans have evolved so much that it is now possible for an experienced doctor to completely transform a face.
Hyaluronic acid and botox injections are the mainstay of the treatment.
In some indications, just a few syringes of product are enough. However, depending on the patient's anatomy and the desired result, full-face treatments (where ten to twenty syringes are used) are possible.
Facial enhancement techniques owe a great deal to Brazilian plastic surgeon Mauricio di Maio, who invented the MD Codes and developed a new way of treating the face.
Not all doctors offer this type of treatment, which requires a trained eye for the beauty and proportions of the face and perfect technical mastery.
The quest for beauty and rejuvenation is a constant preoccupation for many of us. Today, there are cutting-edge solutions for facial enhancement that allow the face to look its best without the need for major surgery. Thanks to modern techniques and innovative products, it is possible to achieve natural, harmonious results, improving self-confidence and general well-being.
Any part of the face can be treated, but the areas most often treated are :
- Cheekbones: adding volume to the cheekbones can refine the face and give it a more youthful, sculpted appearance.
- The chin: a well-defined chin adds structure to the face, improving ovality and symmetry.
- The mandibular line: jaw contouring strengthens the mandibular line, giving a more assertive, harmonious appearance.
- The nose: by improving the shape and symmetry of the nose, contouring injections offer a natural result, without surgery.
- Temples and forehead: treatment of the temples and forehead can balance the proportions of the face, especially if certain areas are hollow.
Facial contouring uses a variety of aesthetic medicine techniques, which can be combined to achieve an overall harmonious result.
The hyaluronic acid is one of the leading products for facial contouring. Its moisturising and volumising properties enable volume to be restored or created, wrinkles to be improved and features to be softened in complete safety. Used in particular to fill in cheekbones, reshape the chin or accentuate the mandibular line, hyaluronic acid is a versatile product that delivers immediate, natural results. Its gradual resorption also means that results can be adjusted over time.
The Sculptra is a poly-L-lactic acid-based bio-stimulation product used to redensify and firm the skin by stimulating natural collagen production. It is particularly effective at gradually restoring volume, offering subtle but lasting results. Sculptra is ideal for patients looking for a natural improvement in skin texture and volume, particularly on the temples, cheeks and areas where the skin has lost density over time.
The Botox is mainly used to relax the muscles responsible for expression lines, but it has its place in facial contouring.
It can be used, for example, to refine the face at the angle of the jaw, in patients who have a fairly well-developed masseter muscle, making the face softer and slimmer.
Injected into the forehead, Botox opens up the eyes by raising the eyebrow.
Medical contouring is a method that is:
- Natural and subtle: the aim is to enhance natural features, with a discreet but impactful result.
- Surgery-free: these techniques are non-invasive, with no incisions or prolonged recovery time.
- Personalised: each treatment is tailored to the patient's specific needs, with a made-to-measure approach.<Results are immediate and long-lasting: results are visible from the first session and optimal a few weeks later.
- Safe and adaptable: results can be modulated over time, adapting to age-related facial changes and the patient's wishes.
A personalised consultation is carried out to assess the patient's needs and expectations and to analyse their face in order to determine the most suitable injection technique. <Once the treatment plan has been established, the area to be treated is disinfected, and the injection is then carried out with precision, according to the objectives defined, to sculpt and harmonise the contours of the face. Each product is injected at different depths and at strategic points depending on the desired volume and structure. The session generally lasts between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the areas treated and the techniques used.
After the injection, Dr Romano provides post-treatment instructions to optimise the results and minimise any side effects, such as redness or slight swelling, which disappear quickly. Patients can resume their usual activities immediately after the procedure, enjoying a visible contouring effect from the very first session. Results improve over the weeks.
The results of facial contouring are visible immediately for hyaluronic acid, a week later for Botox and a few months later for Sculptra. They last about a year.
Patients see a better-defined, more harmonious face with improved balance of features.
Patients who have undergone facial contouring say they are satisfied, appreciating the subtle but noticeable changes to their features. Many note an improvement in their self-confidence and a feeling of rejuvenation without looking "transformed". Opinions confirm the effectiveness and safety of contouring techniques, which deliver personalised aesthetic results that are long-lasting and natural.
