The New Face of Fillers
Are you concerned about wrinkles and lines on your face? For a number of years, we have had good fillers such as Restylane, and more recently Juvederm. The nice thing about these hyaluronic acid fillers has been their naturalness and pliability. Restylane lasts about 6-8 months, while Juvederm can last up to a year.
However, one of the newly approved products for facial filling is called Radiesse, and it is in a different category of products. Radiesse (formerly Radiance) is made of small spheres of calcium hydroxyapetite that are injected. These microspheres are then replaced by your body with collagen.
A new study out in the journal Dermatologic Surgery compared the results of injecting one side of the face with Restylane and the other side of the face with Radiesse. In this head to head comparison, Radiesse had better results at 6, 9, and 12 months.
Give us a call at (703) 924-3144 if you are interested in trying Radiesse!
