Radiesse

Loss of skin elasticity and facial volume are two of the most obvious signs of facial aging because it causes frown lines, smile lines, marionette lines, deep wrinkles, and other facial wrinkles to show. Although skin care products help eliminate mild to moderate wrinkles, many patients still want to experience quick and effective treatments that produce long-lasting results.

Dermal filler treatments are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments that many patients rely on to address lines in different parts of the face. They come in different types made of different man-made and naturally occurring substances like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate, and autologous fat injections harvested from the patient’s fat cells.

Radiesse is an injectable treatment used to correct laugh lines, deep smile lines, and deeper wrinkles. It contains calcium hydroxylapatite, a biocompatible material found in the bones and teeth of the human body. The beads of calcium suspended in a water-based gel are injected into the skin to treat volume loss and improve the appearance of deeper folds.

This convenient treatment jumpstarts the body’s natural collagen production process to restore youthful volume in the injection sites. Patients who undergo Radiesse treatments only experience minimal pain or discomfort.

The calcium hydroxylapatite fillers are safe to mix with lidocaine to reduce discomfort during treatment. Patients usually return to their normal activities after the treatment because it doesn’t require a long downtime.

Although they’re both effective aesthetic procedures, Botox and Radiesse work in different ways. Botox is used to correct smile lines, brow lines, and other kinds of dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the facial muscles that caused their appearance. Radiesse and other types of volumizing filler help achieve the patient’s aesthetic goals by enhancing their facial features and plumping the volume-deficient areas. It’s a comfortable, non-invasive treatment that works best on deeper set and non-dynamic wrinkles (static wrinkles). Some doctors may also suggest combined treatments (Radiesse and Botox) to achieve the best results.
Patients who are looking for an effective solution to help them improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles and volume loss may benefit from Radiesse treatments. We provide complimentary consultations to determine if you are an ideal candidate for the best results.
What most patients love about this breakthrough non-surgical treatment is that there’s no need for frequent follow-up appointments. Radiesse is a long-lasting injectable filler that lasts for several months up to a year even without complementary treatments. The filler injection provides instant added volume to the hollow areas of the face and body. It also triggers the production of collagen for long-lasting results.

Sculptra

Sculptra is an advanced injectable designed to gradually restore your skin’s volume and smoothness from within. Unlike traditional fillers that sit under the skin, Sculptra works deep beneath the surface, rebuilding your collagen, boosting hydration, and renewing your skin’s structure over time.

Sculptra is made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible compound that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. As it’s absorbed, your skin begins to strengthen and rebuild itself, revealing a softer, firmer, more youthful appearance that develops gradually and lasts longer.

Results take shape over a few months as your collagen regenerates—so it’s perfect if you’re looking for a slow-and-steady glow-up with staying power.

Treatments are personalized during an initial consultation in order to identify the specific needs and aesthetic goals of each patient. Sculptra is applied to the targeted area using a tiny injection. Once injected, Sculptra advanced micro particles penetrate into the deeper layers of damaged tissue. It is then absorbed, and continues over time to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed away on the surface, and the continuous restoration of hydration allows treatments to last for a longer period of time.
If you’re unhappy with deeper fine lines, wrinkles, or lost volume within your skin, you could qualify as a candidate for Sculptra treatments.
