How it works

Three phases. One stance.

Session~60 minutes
DowntimeMost return to work next day
ReviewTwo-week review, included in the price
Phase 01

READ the man

The consultation. Your concerns, your experiences, your goals; then anatomy, proportion and frame, so we understand you properly and agree what actually matters first.

Phase 02

BUILD the face

The right techniques, tools and staged treatments: a structured system for building a stronger, more attractive male face, feature by feature, as one whole.

Phase 03

GUARD the work

Limits, set for you. Even when you ask for more, we prevent over-treatment, then maintain the result carefully over time, usually on an annual plan.

The reading is the consultation.A full facial reading with a doctor, and a plan you take home.

Build

Five steps. In that order.

B · Base, the OGEE

The zygomatic frame set first, lateral width and a clean edge building the ogee curve. A ledge, not a peak: never height.

Cheek →
B

Base

the OGEE

The zygomatic frame the face hangs from, set first. Lateral width and a clean edge build the ogee curve, the S-line of light down the cheek. A ledge, not a peak: never height, never rounded anterior fullness.

U

Uplift

the Forward Arc

The maxilla is projected forward, not up. Mid-face support is rebuilt so the under-eye and lateral cheekbone are optimised together, the tear trough softens and the eyes read rested, not treated.

I

Install

the Frame

Chin anchors are installed before any jawline work, corners heavy, midline light, so the chin squares rather than points. This sets the width and forward projection of the lower third: the fixed points the jawline is drawn between.

L

Link

the Jawline Silhouette

Drawn fourth, not first, once the anchors hold. The mandibular border is traced from the gonial angle to the chin as one continuous line: a shadow that sharpens definition without adding width to the face.

D

Detail

the Blended Harmony

Nose, temples and lips, only where indicated, and always last. The dorsal line straightened, temple hollows supported, transitions blended, until no single feature announces itself and the whole face reads right.

The plan you take home

The plan you leave with.

Every consultation ends with this document in your hand: your five steps, what's built, what's deferred, and the exact price. Specimen shown: representative of the format, not a patient record. Protocol detail redacted; the full plan is yours at consultation.

A plan like this often defers steps the patient asked for. That is the point.
