Radiesse®
Facial lines and wrinkles are caused by a gradual breakdown of the body's collagen and the elastin fibers in the skin. No one is immune from experiencing this normal aging process. Squinting, frowning and smiling also inflict stress on the underlying collagen in the skin and accelerate the formation of these furrows. Until recently, injectable collagen was the most widely used available cosmetic filler to improve the appearance of these lines.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is long-lasting liquid injectable filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a component found in bone and teeth. Unlike collagen, which is made of animal bovine, no pretests are required to determine if you will experience any side effects or allergic reaction.
How many treatments will I need?
The cosmetic results you desire and the area to be treated will influence the number of treatments necessary. Typically one treatment is sufficient. Results are long lasting and are visible immediately following the treatment, leaving you with a more youthful appearance.

Sculptra®
As we age, the appearance of facial laxity and wrinkles become a common concern for most of us. Over time, our facial skin can take on a depressed and hollow appearance. For years, people have tried a variety of procedures to correct sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, indentations, and other signs of facial fat loss. Until recently, there have been few FDA-approved treatments specifically for this condition.
Sculptra® is a breakthrough treatment that can be administered during an outpatient office visit and offers facial contour correction with long-lasting, rejuvenating results. Sculptra® is an injectable sculpting agent that restores volume to correct the signs of facial fat loss. Used not only to fill furrows and wrinkles, Sculptra® makes the skin appear firmer and smoother adding volume to your skin that restores your more naturally younger look.
Sculptra® is a safe, synthetic, and biocompatible (doesn't harm the body) material that is injected below the surface of the skin in the area of fat loss. It provides a gradual and significant increase in skin thickness, improving the appearance of folds and sunken areas. The latest in dermal fillers, Sculptra® is composed of a synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). PLLA has been widely used for many years in dissolvable stitches, soft tissue implants, and other types of implants. Sculptra® adds volume to hollow and depressed areas on the face, including around the eyes and cheeks, by increasing the thickness of the skin. It also fills facial lines and wrinkles given its ability to stimulate collagen production. A skin test is not required with Sculptra®. Results are expected to last 2 years and give your face a beautiful, full, refreshed look.
