As we age, collagen production and elastin in the face starts to decrease. The decrease actually begins around age 25, although you may not see the signs of aging until much later. There are a lot of options for reversing the effects of aging, namely fine lines and wrinkles as well as volume loss. One of the best options is Radiesse treatments, now available near Dunedin.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler. Not only does it replace lost volume, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, but it also stimulates collagen production. Because it stimulates your natural collagen production, the dermal filler will keep your skin looking youthful and fresh much longer. In all, your skin will be healthier than it ever was before the treatment.
The Radiesse dermal filler has an active ingredient of CaHA, or Calcium Hydroxylapatite. This compound is completely safe, and it is metabolized by the body over the course of about one year. The active ingredient is suspended in a water-based gel, and it is injected under the skin using lidocaine to minimize injection discomfort.
How Radiesse Works
Radiesse plumps the face in a natural way. As the face is plumped up, fine lines, wrinkles, and some folds in the skin may be eliminated. Your results will be immediate, although you may experience some redness or swelling at the injection site over the first few days. Over time, Radiesse continues to work in your skin, stimulating collagen production so your skin has a healthful, youthful glow.
Long-Lasting Results
Radiesse offers long-lasting results. You can expect your Radiesse treatment to provide you with results for about one year after the initial treatment. Individual results may vary, but most women find that they need a repeat treatment in about one year.
