Radiesse in Charlotte, NC
Collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid are key components to young skin. Unfortunately, we lose these substances as we get older. Radiesse® using a unique microsphere technology to stimulate collagen production to fill in moderate to severe lines and wrinkles. Board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Klein and Dr. Kochuba, specializes in Radiesse® treatment for men and women in Charlotte, Salisbury, Harrisburg, Concord and surrounding areas of North Carolina.
What is Radiesse®?
Looking younger without surgery can be achieved through two distinct mechanisms:
- Replenishing collagen levels to give the skin a supportive structure
- Restoring hyaluronic acid to draw water into the skin and add volume
Radiesse® stimulates collagen production by using a unique microsphere technology. The miniscule spheres are composed of calcium hydroxylapatite. Initially these spheres and the gel “lift” the skin. Over time, the presence of the spheres triggers the body to produce collagen to fill in the spaces between the spheres. As the spheres are absorbed by your body, all that is left behind is the newly-formed collagen.
