What is Facial Harmonization?

Facial Harmonization is a term widely used in Aesthetic Medicine and encompasses a set of procedures aimed at rejuvenating and improving facial aesthetics.

Facial Aging Theory

To understand the impact of Aesthetic Medicine and its various procedures, it is crucial to first understand the facial aging process, which occurs at four levels: bone, fat, muscle and skin. The bone goes through a reabsorption process, losing volume, especially in the orbit, maxilla and mandible regions. Similarly, the fat compartments also lose volume and hydration, with the maxillary and temporal areas being the most affected. In contrast, the nasolabial and jowl fat compartments increase in volume. This, combined with the enlargement of the submandibular glands and the intense bone remodeling of the jaw, leads to a loss of definition in the jaw line, creating the sensation of a continuum between the face and neck. Muscles are also affected by aging, losing elasticity due to a decrease in elastin and collagen, becoming more rigid. Under the influence of gravity, the muscles that depress the face predominate over the muscles that elevate it, intensifying the sensation of facial “melting”. Ultimately, the skin ages due to the loss of collagen and elastin, resulting in sagging, along with superficial skin changes such as hyperpigmentation.

Facial Harmonization Treatments

Facial Harmonization treatments are personalized based on the assessment of the facial aging process during the consultation. Therefore, several treatments can be combined, including:

• Hyaluronic acid: This gel is capable of replacing lost volume, both in the bones and in the fat compartments, being essential for facial restructuring.
• Botulinum toxin: This toxin blocks muscle receptors, relaxing the depressor muscles and providing a lifting effect, giving priority to the elevator muscles.
• Collagen bio-stimulators: These stimulate collagen production, improving the structure of the dermis and the firmness of the skin
• Surface treatments: Promote cell renewal, improving skin quality and treating hyperpigmentation. These treatments include laser, peeling, microneedling, mesotherapy and a proper skin care routine.

Each procedure plays a specific role, addressing the different factors of aging to achieve natural and harmonious results.

Facial Beautification

Facial Harmonization also covers facial beautification, considering concepts such as cephalometry, facial proportions, attractive features and individual and cultural notions of beauty. When planning a Facial Harmonization treatment, the goals of rejuvenation (or prevention of aging) and beautification are combined.
