RADIESSE
Radiesse is an exceptional treatment that I trust for both myself and my patients. It’s a versatile option that not only provides natural-looking facial rejuvenation but also offers impressive skin tightening benefits for areas beyond the face. One of the key reasons I recommend Radiesse is its ability to stimulate collagen production, which gradually improves skin texture, firmness, and overall tone.
On the face, it effectively restores volume, enhancing facial contours and offering subtle, natural lifting. But what really sets Radiesse apart is its ability to target other areas of the body, such as the neck, décolletage, hands, knees, and abdomen. These areas, which often show signs of aging, can be treated to provide a smoother, firmer appearance with long-lasting results.
Radiesse doesn’t just offer immediate improvements—it continues to work over time, helping to restore and maintain the skin's youthful structure. Whether you’re looking to enhance facial features or improve skin laxity in other areas, Radiesse is a trusted, effective treatment that delivers both cosmetic and long-term benefits.
SCULPTRA
Sculptra is a unique injectable treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production to restore lost volume and improve skin texture over time. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, Sculptra works gradually, with results developing over a period of weeks to months, making it an excellent option for those seeking long-lasting, subtle rejuvenation.
What I love about Sculptra is its ability to provide a more natural, volumized look without the need for frequent touch-ups. It's particularly effective for areas like the cheeks, temples, and jawline, where volume loss can create a hollow or sagging appearance. Sculptra doesn't just add volume; it helps to restore the skin’s underlying structure, improving firmness and overall skin quality.
Since Sculptra works over time, most patients notice a gradual improvement, with full results typically visible after 2-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. While the treatment itself is relatively quick, it can take a few weeks for the full effect to become apparent, and results can last up to 2 years. With minimal downtime and a natural outcome, Sculptra offers a long-term solution to restore facial volume and enhance youthful contours.
