Radiesse Injectables in Birmingham AL
Immediate Results, Lasting Improvement
Collagen and elastin are two important components of the skin that contribute to it's strength and elasticity. Aging and sun damage can cause the body to produce reduced amounts of collagen and elastin over time, resulting in facial wrinkles and loss of skin volume.
In response to this weakening of the skin's support structure, RADIESSE dermal filler uses a formulation containing calcium-based microspheres that integrate into your skin and create a "scaffold" that stimulates production of collagen and elastin. Unique in the world of injectable aesthetic treatments, Radiesse® can provide smooth, natural-looking results in the lower face, hands or jawline.
Radiesse treatments provide both immediate results and long-term improvement at Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery's Birmingham, Alabama cosmetic center. Radiesse can replenishment lost skin volume, smooth lines and wrinkles, and give you a more youthful look that lasts a year or more in many patients.
Unique CaHA Gel Matrix
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler that immediately replenishes lost skin volume and lays the foundation for increased collagen production. Radiesse (+) contains a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocane) to reduce pain related to the injection.
Upon injection, the Radiesse CaHA gel matrix creates rejuvenating skin volume, helping smooth out lines and wrinkles. The matrix of CaHA microspheres stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, promoting revitalized skin structure. The microspheres and gel are eventually absorbed by the body, leaving behind your own natural collagen, diminished wrinkles and younger-looking skin.
