Over time, sun exposure, genetics, and gravity all work together to make changes to your body you may not necessarily like. There is a natural loss of fat and tissue that happens as you age which tends to make you look older. Replacing lost tissue with a dermal filler can make a wonderful, rejuvenating change. Wrinkles and skin folds will lessen and your old, tired appearance will become more youthful.
Dermal fillers like Radiesse are not only for refilling an area of lost tissue. They can also help fill in areas that were never well-filled out like hip dips or your derriere. While dermal fillers are not magic, they can make great changes to help you realize your aesthetic goals. Radiesse, which we offer in our Dallas office, is a safe and effective non-surgical skin treatment.
Radiesse is made to work well in areas of your face and body with a lot of movement, such as around your mouth or on your hips. These fillers can lessen deep folds and make tiny wrinkles disappear. They can add volume to many different areas of your body such as your face, neck, hips, hands, and knees.
As the only FDA-approved calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) based fillers, Radiesse dermal fillers work differently from hyaluronic acid-based fillers. The CaHA particles will stimulate the production of collagen and elastin to create more volume where injected. Along with this stimulation, the CaHA particles will also incorporate into your skin to create a framework to help keep new collagen and elastin in place. Keeping the newly produced proteins where they are needed the most is their secret to working well in mobile places.
When decreasing the appearance of nasolabial folds (smile lines) and other major wrinkles, the Radiesse will first improve the wrinkle by pushing the bottom of the fold upwards. This diminishes the depth of the fold which will instantly make it less noticeable. Over time, your body will help fill in the same area as the Radiesse gel did with collagen to give you longer lasting results.
Radiesse can also improve skin quality for Dallas patients. Crepey skin can improve with the increase in collagen and your skin’s firmness will be enhanced. Skin elasticity will improve with the rise in elastin, leaving it less likely to droop as it can resist the forces of gravity. The result: your skin’s appearance will be perkier and youthful!
The Radiesse injections will be placed in our Dallas office. The visit is short and fits easily into your busy schedule, and you can return to your regular activities immediately after an appointment with only a few restrictions. Pain is usually minimal and you can choose to use Radiesse+ which contains lidocaine to help with any discomfort.
You can experience mild bruising and/or swelling where the filler is injected, but a cool pack can help alleviate it. Either way, bruising and swelling will quickly disappear.
When first injected, you will see the filling effect of the Radiesse gel. This can be an advantage if you need instant results. Over the following days and weeks, your body will produce collagen and elastin right where the gel is located. As your body breaks down the gel, the new collagen and elastin will take over to create a natural looking change that can last 12 to 15 months.
If you do not like the silhouette of your backside or dislike the facial changes of aging, Radiesse can add volume or replace lost tissue in many areas of your body to improve your appearance. You may be surprised at how making an improvement will lift your self-confidence.
