16 SKINCARE Magazine // MAY 2016 ISSUE TREATMENT The Volume Filler that Erases Wrinkles and Folds Here’s why patients love Radiesse: • Restores lost volume and stimulates the production of your own natural collagen • Results last up to one year • Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the Calcium Hydroxylapatite microspheres leaving behind your own natural collagen At Celebrity Laser & Surgery Center, we offer Radiesse amongst other various forms of dermal fillers. Our staff has the experience and knowledge to answer your questions. Please contact us today to schedule a consultation to see if Radiesse is right for you. During the natural process of aging, our collagen begins to break down, diminishing facial volume. The loss of elasticity and volume results in wrinkles, facial lines and skin laxity that rob your skin of its youthful appearance. Dermal fillers like Radiesse® help restore lost volume, while stimulating the body’s own natural collagen production. Radiesse is approved for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. How it Works Radiesse is a wrinkle filler used to plump the skin. The filler is injected through a small needle and placed under the skin. Results are immediate and will continue to naturally stimulate your body’s own natural collagen. The results have been shown to last a year or more in many patients, making the treatment results both immediate and long lasting. It is comprised of Calcium Hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. BEFORE Treatment Areas Our smile lines, known as nasolabial folds, develop over time. These lines and creases run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth, and are the result of the loss of facial volume and skin elasticity as we age. Radiesse can help replenish youthful volume and stimulate your own collagen production, minimizing the appearance of those pesky facial lines, wrinkles and folds. Common Side Effects The most common side effects include: bruising, redness, swelling, pain, itching, nodules or bumps/lumps, difficulty performing activities, loss of sensation and other local side effects. Some patients experience side effects for a few days or up to one week. AFTER
