Recent treatment innovations have shown that Radiesse and Sculptra can act as a bio-stimulating agent when it is hyper-diluted. Hyper-diluting means the compound is mixed with lidocaine and saline for thinning it out. The hyper-diluted mixture is then injected under the aging skin.
The skin rejuvenating effects of this treatment is visible and pronounced. Production of elastin and collagen begins as early as 4 weeks post-treatment. This helps with progressive natural dermal thickening and long-term skin tightening. Skin laxity, fine lines, and crepiness is reduced while elasticity, tone and skin pliability are improved.
Hyper-diluted Radiesse or Sculptra can be used for treating cellulite as well. Dimpling is reduced and the skin is plumped out by injecting hyper-diluted Radiesse in areas that have moderate to severe cellulite.
These are a few areas that can be treated:
Hyper-dilute Radiesse or Sculptra can be used in combination to lasers, fillers, and other modalities for the best results. The treatment provider will discuss a custom treatment plan with you. In the first year, 1 – 3 treatment sessions spaced a month apart may be required for optimal cosmetic effects. You would also need maintenance treatments every 12 – 18 months.
Trained by the Master Injector, Shino Bay, Stefanie Gatica, DNP uses his signature 7 point technique to provide long lasting biostimulation and regenerative effects.
Sculptra is an injectable product that helps fight aging skin. Sculptra works subtly and gradually over time for a more youthful appearance, stimulating natural collagen production in the skin to help restore deteriorated bone structure and increase volume.
Sculptra procedures take about 45 minutes or more, dependent on the treatment area.
There is no downtime associated with Sculptra injections. You can experience bruising where the injections are placed. You will need to massage the areas treated for 5 minutes, 5 times a day for 5 days for best results.
Skin will eventually look healthier and more youthful — with maximum effect around five to six months post-injection. Results can last up to two years. Sculptra requires several injections to work optimally — an 12-week follow-up treatment the first year is common and then a yearly follow-up is recommended. We choose to only use 2 vials in the face at a times, so that we do no overstimulate the collagen production.
