Abstract

An increasing number of Asian people are seeking nonsurgical facial aesthetic treatments. Ethnic Asians differ from Western populations in both facial appearance and baseline structural facial anatomy. And there is a lack of clinical instruction to doctors who provide facial aesthetic treatment for Asian patients. The authors proposed the " Future Codes" design in Chinese calligraphy describing the art of facial injection in Asians to help doctors perform well. "" are pictograph of 2 Chinese characters, translated into English as "Future," which represent beautiful meanings and vividly describe the procedure and operating area of the design methods. The concept encompasses a systematic overall design for the art of facial injection in Asians, and these procedures are easy to learn and perform safely. This is the first systematic solution available in the clinic that can be used to design facial aesthetics and rejuvenation in Asians through Eastern philosophy and culture.
