What would you say are the biggest differences in injecting with or without MD codesTM?
“Using MD codesTM makes our work reproducible. If I take myself as an example, before I started using MD codesTM, I would look at the face and think “I’ll inject some here and some there, and we’ll see”. It was much more based on my intuition and feeling alone. You can get quite far on intuition, but the results are not as reproducible. So, if a patient comes back next time and says “Do what you did last time” I wouldn’t know exactly if I just relied on intuition. Whereas with MD codes I have a structured way, making it easier for me to create the same result time after time.” Dr. Nurlin continues “All this, of course, helps to boost your self-confidence already at an early stage. I wish I’d learned it sooner, but it wasn’t even invented when I started out.”
“The codes’ mapping of the face makes it possible to inject like a pro, no matter your experience!”
If you’re new to the game, this “language” has more benefits Dr. Nurlin continues, “In reality, the codes’ mapping of the face makes it possible to inject like a pro, no matter your experience! “
Speaking of which, what has the MD CodesTM meant for you personally?
“MD CodesTM provided a structured approach that allowed me to strategically choose products, injection sites and sequences for each patient. Implementing this system has really elevated my skills and boosted my confidence. It became essential for my personal success.” Says Dr. Nurlin.
Being one of the first thirteen to be personally mentored by Dr. de Maio on the MD CodesTM, you can imagine that she’s picked up many lessons over the years. But for Dr. Nurlin, one stands out. “The necessity of having a plan! Treating patients based solely on intuition
and feelings – hoping for positive outcomes – isn’t sufficient. As practitioners, we must always have a structured plan that guides both our mindset and our treatment approach. That’s why I believe that MD CodesTM are one of the most important supports during a consultation.”
Here the emotional attributes come in handy as they can guide you in your assessment during consultation. Setting a treatment plan based on the emotional attributes, and then understanding how to approach them using the codes, can be like following an instruction manual. Who doesn’t like the sound of that?

We’re sure that our readers are dying to know how to start to learn MD CodesTM! How would you go about if you started out fresh today?
“Oh, there are plenty of fantastic resources! Digital World is, of course, a great place to turn. For specific MD CodesTM content, the site has a whole section on the topic. And why not book a personal meeting with one of Allergan’s fantastic Product Specialists? Digital face-to-face discussions are just a great way to soak up knowledge, I believe. |
