Radiesse®
CYNTHIA GREGG MD, FACE & BODY SPECIALISTS provides Radiesse® and Radiesse® (+) injections for men and women in Cary, Raleigh, the surrounding areas of North Carolina, and across the Nation. Radiesse® is one of the leading dermal fillers in the world because it not only improves the appearance of facial folds and wrinkles, but it also stimulates collagen production. It is an injectable hydrogel that contains tiny particles of calcium hydroxylapatite; hydroxyapatite occurs in teeth and bones. Radiesse® (+) is the basic product with Lidocaine added for comfort during the injection process. Results are immediate and can last up to a year.
RADIESSE® has been used to treat patients in over 57 countries worldwide. It was FDA approved, in 2006, for subdermal implantation, for the correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds. Since that time over 2 million syringes have been sold in the United States alone. Radiesse® works to add volume and hide the signs of wrinkles and creases for a more refreshed look. Radiesse® is also very effective for providing volume to the backs of aging hands, giving a more youthful appearance. In a hyperdiluted form, Radiesse® is used to treat the crepey appearance of the skin above the knees and upper inner arms. Although outcomes may vary, this treatment has shown excellent results for our patients.
If you are looking to restore volume and smoothness to your face or backs of your hands, schedule an appointment with our Cary, North Carolina office today. At your visit, our physicians or Nurse Injectors will discuss if this is the right dermal filler option for you.
