Have you looked in the mirror lately and noticed areas of your body that do not appear as supple as they once were? This is common, so do not feel alone. Many individuals experience loss of elasticity throughout the arms, thighs, abdomen, and buttocks as they age, but luckily, there is a non-invasive solution – Radiesse. Read on to learn more about this unique treatment option and how it can help you to enjoy smoother, tighter skin.  

Why Do We Lose Elasticity Over Time?

As a teenager and even in early adulthood, you enjoyed skin that easily bounced back, appearing supple, healthy, and smooth. Now that you’re older, you’ve probably noticed that parts of your body don’t look as young and radiant as they did before.

The reality is that sagging skin and wrinkles are common. The skin has three layers, and the middle one is referred to as the dermis. Containing collagen and elastin, these proteins begin to slow production when you’re in your 20s. Once you reach menopause, greater sagging occurs in different areas of the body, including the face.

The first layer of skin, the epidermis, and the dermis begin to separate over time, which can lead to wrinkles. Since collagen serves as the “glue” that helps to keep skin looking and feeling supple, the more it decreases, the more sagging will occur.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a type of dermal filler that offers patients like yourself the chance to enjoy younger-looking, smoother, tighter skin. Instead of enduring a complex, invasive procedure to help stretch areas of the body (i.e., arms, waist, buttocks, abdomen, and thighs), a physician can use this injectable solution to fill in the areas of sagging skin.

Not only does it help to stimulate collagen production, but it also causes wrinkles to dissipate, allowing you to embrace a more youthful appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Radiesse?

Most people prefer to avoid going under the knife for any kind of aesthetic procedure, which is why Radiesse is becoming increasingly popular. Its benefits are many, including:

  • It is a convenient solution that takes only minutes to complete, allowing you to return to work immediately following your appointment.
  • The results are almost instant, which means you can expect to see a new and improved you after your visit. But long-term results average around two years.
  • The filler helps to stimulate existing and new collagen production.
  • It is considered to be a hypoallergenic dermal filler.
  • The side effects are minimal (i.e., swelling, redness, slight bruising).
  • It is an FDA-approved dermal filler.

Sagging skin and wrinkles no longer have to keep you from wearing your favorite pair of shorts or sleeveless tops. Instead, you can choose Radiesse to enjoy younger-looking, smoother skin quickly and effectively.
