Abstract

As the demand for minimally invasive aesthetic treatments increases, the need for a structured individualized facial analysis is becoming more and more evident. This article therefore presents FILLMED’s 6-step matrix, a holistic six-step guide for facial assessment prior to aesthetic treatments aiming to optimize the efficacy of soft tissue filler treatments. The first step, skin quality assessment, involves evaluating factors such as texture, pigmentation and hydration to understand the patient's skin condition before treatment and anticipate the treatment outcome. The second step, shadow assessment, focuses on identifying and eliminating shadows in critical facial areas. The third step, contour assessment, is to analyze the facial contour, thus detecting areas that need to be enhanced or corrected to achieve a balanced and natural-looking result. The fourth step entails a detailed assessment of wrinkles, which is crucial for choosing appropriate treatments, as different types and degrees of wrinkles require customized approaches. The fifth step, volume loss assessment, focuses on pinpointing areas where facial volume has decreased, particularly in the temples, periorbital area, midface and lips, which contribute significantly to the signs of aging. The sixth step, evaluating proportions, is to assess the balance and harmony of facial features, taking into account both overall and regional proportions to ensure that aesthetic treatments enhance rather than disrupt facial symmetry. FILLMED’s comprehensive 6-step matrix enables physicians to accurately assess patients’ pre-treatment facial aesthetics and hence to deliver personalized, effective and safe treatments.
