Radiesse
Collagen is the main structural protein of our skin, responsible for keeping it firm and radiant. As we age, fundamental changes occur within our skin: the natural production of collagen and elastin decreases, in charge of giving it firmness and elasticity. This in turn causes the cells that renew the skin to become inactive: the dermal fibroblasts. Our skin can no longer renew itself, so the signs of aging become visible (including flabbiness).
Radiesse activates the cell renewal of the skin, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin, improving the quality of the skin.
Its action reduces sagging by recovering the firmness and elasticity of the skin for up to 12 months, depending on the patient.
Acting as a scaffold, Radiesse can activate inactive fibroblasts. When reactivated, these cells re-produce new collagen and elastin, strengthening and rebuilding the skin from the inside out.
Radiesse also provides an immediate lifting effect when applied to specific areas of the face, improving skin support and defining the facial contour.
