Check out in this article the most common questions about Facial Harmonization and take the opportunity to clear up any doubts on the subject!
Our skin contains 56% of all the hyaluronic acid in our body. It works by filling the spaces between cells, which keeps the skin smooth, elastic, and well-hydrated.
Through the technique of facial filling, it is possible to restore lost facial volume over time, improve contours, and correct asymmetries, promoting a perfect facial harmonization
See how facial harmonization works:
1. How does the process of facial aging occur?
As we age, there is a loss of bone, muscle, and facial fat, weakening of the facial ligaments, and a decrease in the hyaluronic acid in the skin.
As a result, we lose the ability to maintain the structures and elasticity of the face, leading to the appearance of unwanted “static” wrinkles.
With the reduction in collagen and elastin production, the skin becomes thinner, sagging, wrinkled, and shows an aging appearance.
2. Questions about Facial Harmonization – How is facial harmonization done?
There are several techniques to perform facial harmonization.
One of the techniques used is MD CODES, which involves using the minimum amount of hyaluronic acid at specific points on the face. This way, we can restore lost volume in a subtle, natural, and balanced way.
To replenish facial volume lost over time, we use hyaluronic acid in fillers. These are minimally invasive and non-surgical methods that preserve the natural look of the face.
3. Which areas of the face can be treated?
The great innovation of MD Codes™ is to treat the face as a whole, allowing the root cause of the discomfort to be addressed.
Thus, a medical evaluation will be conducted, in which the face will be analyzed as a whole. Based on the information regarding what is causing discomfort for the patient, a treatment plan will be developed, and the specific areas that need to be treated will be explained.
Sometimes, we identify that the issue is not exactly in the area pointed out by the patient but rather in adjacent areas that have lost support. This situation is known as “facial melting.”
4. What results can be expected from facial harmonization procedure?
Immediately after the session, patients can already notice most of the results, which makes the treatment very satisfying. Since hyaluronic acid is highly hydrophilic, it is common to see an even greater improvement in results after a few months following the application (hence the recommendation to drink plenty of water after the treatment).
As facial harmonization is a treatment based on MD CODES techniques, which uses a natural substance already present in our bodies, we can safely restore volume and revitalize the face, ensuring a harmonious and youthful appearance for the patient’s face.

5. Does Facial Harmonization Hurt?
At our clinic, patient comfort is taken very seriously.
The modern fillers we use already contain anesthetic in their formula, and it is a minimally invasive procedure. We also ask the patient to apply a local anesthetic cream before the procedure, making it more comfortable.
For the vast majority of patients, the procedure is very well tolerated.
6. How Long Does Harmonization with Hyaluronic Acid Last?
On average, the filler lasts at least 12 months. However, this can vary depending on the patient’s age, skin characteristics, and the type of product used.
Products used for structural support, for example, can last for several years.
7. Is Harmonization with Hyaluronic Acid Safe?
Because it is performed with a natural substance produced by the body, facial harmonization is considered a safe procedure.
Every procedure carries some risk, but when performed by a qualified professional and using high-quality products, the risk is very low. Therefore, it is highly recommended to seek a trusted and experienced doctor.
8. How Much Does Facial Harmonization Cost?
The cost of facial harmonization typically ranges from R$1290 to R$6000.
However, these values can vary higher or lower depending on the region, the amount of hyaluronic acid used, the type of product and material used, and the expertise of the professional.
