Imagine young-looking, wrinkle-free skin.
Dr. Monte Harris has
found that the use of the filler Radiesse® may be the best
treatment available to date. Previously, the only way to fill
these wrinkles was with a lifetime of bovine (cow) collagen
injections, which can cause allergic reactions; or solid
implants that can look and feel unnatural. Radiesse® does not
require allergy testing. Radiesse® is an innovative product that
has been used for many years in prosthetic implants in dental,
facial and orthopedic surgery. The product consists of calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a normal constituent of the bone and,
therefore, should not cause inflammatory or immune reactions.
This filler is now being used for lip enlargement and filling
folds and lines in the face to reduce signs of aging.
Radiesse® treatments are performed in our office and take
about 15 minutes. Radiesse® is pre-loaded in syringes for use in
treating and correcting your facial lines and other soft tissue
defects. First we apply a little local anesthetic. Then, Radiesse®
is injected into the wrinkle through a tiny needle, and placed
just under your skin. Unlike other fillers, Radiesse® is not
absorbed by the body. Therefore, we do not need to over-fill the
wrinkle. Your results are immediate and long lasting.
Depending on the area treated, most corrections may last for
several months or years. Some touch-up treatments may be
necessary. The most positive factor in using Radiesse® is that
patients don't have to come back every three months and they
still look great! If you want to get rid of your wrinkles with a
safe, natural solution, Radiesse® may be for you.
