The MD Codes™ Method at Integrated Aesthetics

The filler isn’t the differentiator. The plan behind it is. Any injector can place dermal filler into a wrinkle, but Dr. Mauricio de Maio’s MD Codes™ method maps the face into a grid of precise anatomical points and treats it as one connected structure, restoring support where the face has actually lost it.

The Co-Architects

Two specialists, one structural plan

Rejuvenation at Integrated Aesthetics is led by two board-certified physicians who treat the face as one connected structure and bring complementary expertise to every plan.

Dr. Young Cho

Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon · Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) Faculty

Dr. Cho is an Allergan Medical Institute trainer who has trained in person under Dr. Mauricio de Maio, the creator of the MD Codes™ method.

“True rejuvenation starts at the bone and deep facial spaces. By mapping the face structurally, we recreate the youth scaffolding.”
Dr. Young Cho

Dr. Melissa Chiang

Board-Certified Cosmetic Dermatologist

Dr. Chiang brings a dermatologist’s command of skin and facial anatomy to every plan.

“Rejuvenation isn’t just a lift; it’s a restoration of volume, light reflex, and tissue elasticity. We treat the face as a living canvas.”
Dr. Melissa Chiang

The Science

The method matters more than the product

MD Codes™️ is an advanced, structural mapping system for the face. Developed by world-renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Mauricio de Maio, it divides the face into distinct anatomical units (like the cheeks, chin, or temples) and further breaks them down into precise, standardized injection points. Instead of treating a single wrinkle in isolation, an injector uses this “blueprint” to treat the face as an interconnected architectural ecosystem.

At Integrated Aesthetics, we utilize this advanced MD Codes™️ methodology to deliver entirely customized, non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Our expert team combines this precise, point-by-point mapping framework with our signature multimodality approach. By anchoring and lifting the underlying facial architecture rather than simply adding volume, we create beautiful, natural-looking symmetry and lift tailored uniquely to your anatomy.

“Anyone can place filler; only an elite medical institution injects via a structural blueprint.”

Dr. Cho and Dr. Chiang have standardized exactly how those points are used inside the practice. It’s a consistent internal protocol that every injector on the team follows, so your result is driven by a blueprint, not guesswork.

Common Questions

The Integrated Method, answered

The method is built to avoid that. By restoring structure at precise points instead of filling each line, our injectors typically use less product and aim for a balanced, natural result. Individual results vary.

It’s the plan, not a different product. The MD Codes™ method maps your whole face and treats it as one structure, following a structural blueprint, rather than treating wrinkles one at a time.

Your plan is built by board-certified physicians Dr. Young Cho and Dr. Melissa Chiang. Treatment is performed by them or by our nurse injector trained in the practice’s MD Codes™ protocols, at the Integrated Aesthetics offices in The Woodlands and Spring, TX.
