Advanced Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center offers a range of treatment options that help you achieve healthier skin. Several factors, including genetics, gravity, skin care products, and sun exposure, can trigger the visible signs of aging as time passes.
With age, your body also slows collagen and elastin production, which are the protein molecules that give skin its firmness and elasticity. These changes can make you look older and more tired than you feel. If you qualify, Radiesse in Atlanta can help stimulate your body’s natural collagen production and offer a non-toxic and hypoallergenic treatment option. Call our plastic surgery center today to learn more about our dermal injectable services.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a dermal filler that can help smooth moderate to severe wrinkles. It can also be used as a bio stimulant to improve collagen and elastin the areas it is placed. These respond well to Radiesse injections for our Atlanta patients.
Other benefits include improving neck lines and skin laxity, filling hollow areas like cellulite, and rejuvenating the back of your hands. The primary ingredient in the product is calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a water-based gel that provides immediate volume and correction.
Additionally, Radiesse continues to work by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, thus improving your skin’s tone and texture. The injections are administered just under the skin with a tiny needle or cannula.
How Does Radiesse Work?
After injection, the gel matrix in Radiesse provides immediate volume and wrinkle and fold correction, giving you a natural and youthful appearance. Over the coming weeks and months, the product stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, increasing the firmness and elasticity of the areas that were treated.
As new collagen is produced, it gradually replaces the gel matrix in Radiesse, helping maintain the volumizing effect even after the gel has been absorbed. Calcium hydroxylapatite is a naturally occurring substance in the body, so as the microspheres are gradually metabolized over time, they do not create an adverse response.
It acts as scaffolding for new collagen growth, so as it is metabolized, it leaves behind new collagen. This dual action can lead to results that last over a year and produce a natural-looking enhancement compared to other fillers.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
Good candidates for dermal filler injections want to improve their skin laxity and hollowing on their neck and body. . You may also want to restore volume in your neck, skin above the knees, cellulite in the buttocks, or on the backs of your hands.
You should be in good general health without significant medical conditions that could complicate treatment or recovery. During your consultation, you will discuss your cosmetic goals with your plastic surgeon. The ideal candidate will understand the potential results and have realistic expectations.
You must not be allergic to any ingredients, particularly calcium hydroxylapatite. The product does not have a history of severe allergies or anaphylaxis. Still, those with a history of severe allergies to dermal fillers or fillers containing the active ingredient calcium hydroxylapatite should avoid Radiesse. Additionally, Radiesse is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women in Atlanta.
How Can I Prolong the Results?
Generally, men and women who use Radiesse can expect the results to last one year or more. However, you can take steps to prolong the effects. For example, follow your post-treatment instructions, which typically include avoiding strenuous activities, excessive sun exposure, and using certain skin care products immediately after treatment.
Use a Gentle Cleanser and Avoid Sun Exposure
Maintaining a healthy skincare routine using gentle, nonirritating skin care products can help extend your results. Additionally, apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily to protect your skin from damage that breaks down collagen more quickly.
Lead a Healthy Lifestyle
Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a high-quality moisturizer. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including eating a diet rich in vitamins and minerals, exercising regularly, and sleeping at least seven to eight hours each night.
You should also schedule follow-ups with your provider to help monitor your progress and receive regular touch-up treatments when needed.
