Not all Dermal Filler Treatment plans are created equal. New Life Aesthetics uses the internationally recognized MD Codes™ to guide strategic Dermal Filler Treatment planning with precision placement and unmatched results.
Dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid (HA) are primarily utilized to combat age-related concerns, ranging from volume loss to facial contouring concerns. With inexperienced, untrained injectors, the results are not always what the patient expects – sometimes resulting in unnatural-looking results.
But MD Codes have taken dermal filler treatment to the next level. Considered a best practice in medical aesthetics, MD Codes have set new standards in medical aesthetics. Options now range from making your face not only look younger, but less sad, worried or angry, or perhaps more feminine. Add to that, the bonus of reliable, natural-looking results that can be consistently produced and replicated.
Don’t even think about Dermal Filler Treatment with an injector who does not have extensive, hands-on training that includes the art of assessment, the knowledge of filler science and facial anatomy, safety and reliability. These training attributes are what make MD Codes unique and training in the MD Codes is extensive and intensive. Ask for documentation of training and before-and-after photos of patients the injector has personally treated when you are considering receiving filler treatment.

The MD Codes system was developed to increase success rates by reducing the common variability in the technical aspects of dermal filler treatment. Designed to support precise treatment planning, MD Codes guides professionals in developing strategic Dermal Filler Treatment plans for their patients.
By focusing on addressing unfavorable emotional attributes of the face, this groundbreaking concept offers a structured method for assessing the face and helps direct precision dermal filler placement.
Dr. Mauricio de Maio is the creator of the MD Codes concept. He developed it after studying over 10,000 unique patient faces and how they responded to different methods of treatment with the JUVÉDERM® portfolio of fillers. With his 20+ papers published in prestigious plastic surgery journals, Dr. de Maio's contributions to the field of aesthetic medicine are globally recognized. His concepts have revolutionized the way many types of aesthetic treatments are approached.
MD Codes matter because they provide an anatomically precise, standardized language for aesthetic injectors using dermal fillers, with the aim to create natural-looking, individualized results. With its focus on full-face assessment, facial balance, precision planning and natural-looking results, MD Codes can elevate Dermal Filler Treatments to the next level.
Meredith Harris, NP, the owner of New Life Aesthetics, is one of 400 nationally based Allergan Medical Institute trainers, specializing in Allergan’s JUVÉDERM® and BOTOX®. JUVÉDERM is the number one chosen dermal filler collection in the world, with six FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers designed to treat eight specific areas of the face.
Meredith was invited to submit a video for a blind audition to be reviewed by Dr. Mauricio de Maio, the founder of MD Codes She was one of only 14 trainers that were hand-selected to be mentored by Dr. de Maio. This mentorship is an intensive multi-year commitment that has had Meredith traveling the globe to advance her knowledge and skill level.
In addition to using MD Codes exclusively in her New Life Aesthetics practice, it is the method she teaches in all of the trainings she conducts, both 1:1 and large group stage presentations. It is also the only approach utilized when teaching in Allergan’s three brick-and-mortar, state-of-the-art training centers located in Atlanta, Irvine and Austin.
“Being mentored by Dr. Mauricio de Maio has elevated my critical thinking skills and given reason to everything I do,” Meredith says. “His methods take into account the broader facial attributes, provide reproducible and predictable outcomes that are safer and longer lasting. His goal with the MD Codes was to provide an algorithm that would yield better results, and that is why patients who know what to look for overwhelmingly seek out injectors with this particular training and expertise.”
Your treatment at New Life Aesthetics will involve evaluation of your whole face, taking into consideration not only facial structure but aging patterns and other criteria, to create a personalized Dermal Filler Treatment plan.
The MD Codes mapping system adopts an integrated approach to your overall facial structure rather than just targeting isolated features (e.g., wrinkles, marionette lines, under eye circles, lip contouring, etc.) individually. Each MD Code includes information regarding:
MD Codes can actually guide injectors in treating “emotional” expressions that affect your facial appearance using precise, anatomically defined injection sites for transformative yet natural-looking results.
During treatment planning, MD Codes are selected using algorithms focused on lessening highly specific unfavorable facial attributes (e.g., angry, sad, saggy, tired appearance). By using a more integrated approach focused on altering negative emotional messages communicated by a patient’s overall facial appearance, patient satisfaction with treatment outcomes often increases exponentially.
MD Codes can also enhance a more desirable appearance by enhancing positive attributes (e.g., softer, younger, attractive, etc.). They can even facilitate a more feminine or masculine look.
