RADIESSE
Radiesse available at Azia Medical Spa in Birmingham, Alabama.
Coupled with the aging process and exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays, the contours of our face begin to lose volume or become hallowed-out from the loss of collagen support. If you have sharply defined cheek bones that were an incredibly beautiful feature in your youth, the loss of volume through collagen depletion can add age to your years.
Thankfully, there are great dermal fillers that can help with collagen loss and also help smooth out your skin.
RADIESSE FOR AGED AND SUN DAMAGED SKIN
Radiesse is a long-lasting dermal filler consisting of tiny calcium particles that are suspended in a cellulose gel. The ingredients used are non-allergenic, and safe.
Injecting Radiesse just under the skin adds volume that has been lost by the passing of time and damaged by the ultraviolet rays of the sun. In addition to smoothing out wrinkles, Radiesse helps your skin’s volume structure and also helps to stimulate the skin’s own production of collagen because the effect assists in helping the calcium and gel metabolize and stimulate natural collagen deposits. For that reason, one Radiesse injection can last from one to three years.
