Turn Back the Clock for the Holidays: A Guide to Radiesse®

Turn Back the Clock for the Holidays: A Guide to Radiesse®

Every holiday season, you revel in the reunions: Family and friends come together like no other time of year. But that means you haven’t seen some of these family members, colleagues, and friends for 12 months or more. You want to put your best foot — your best self — forward.

Maybe that means a new outfit. New shoes. Maybe a new regimen to shed those last few pounds. But will it make enough of a difference in time?

If you want to look your best in person and in holiday photos and videos, you might want to turn back the clock with a simple in-office procedure that takes away the lines and sags that age you. 

Even though the number of medical appointments falls during the holiday season, appointments for injectable antiaging treatments, like Botox® and Radiesse® tick up. 

At Aesthetics, by Dr. Lee, expert physician Dr. Luis Lee and our aesthetics team help you achieve a smooth, silky holiday glow with Radiesse dermal fillers, Botox, and other minimally invasive treatments. Just a quick trip to our office in Granite Bay, California, can help you turn back time for the holidays.

How can you use Radiesse to glow up this holiday season? Below is a brief guide to this versatile collagen stimulator.

Radiesse rebuilds your skin

As with dermal fillers based on hyaluronic acid (HA), the aqueous gel that’s the carrier for Radiesse’s collagen stimulators immediately plumps up your skin upon administration, smoothing out fine lines, wrinkles, and creases. Unlike HA fillers, Radiesse goes a step further.

Suspended in the aqueous gel are particles of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). The tiny CaHA particles form a scaffold in your skin that stimulates your fibroblasts. Your fibroblasts then begin to produce fresh new collagen, which replaces the Radiesse matrix.

Instead of fading over the course of a few months, as HA fillers do, Radiesse results get even better. You see your optimal results after six months. Supported by fresh, new collagen that your body produces in the weeks after your treatment, your results can last for more than a year.

In fact, just one treatment stimulates the production of new collagen for up to one year. It also stimulates the production of the protein elastin for up to nine months. Elastin lends your skin pliability, so that it maintains its shape instead of sagging.

Radiesse gives your face a glow-up

Without surgery or even a laser treatment, Radiesse immediately erases the signs of age. We treat areas of your lower face that you think could use a glow-up, including:

Of course, if you have wrinkles on your forehead or around your eyes that you’d like to attend to, we can resolve those with Botox. During your consultation, we discuss all of your options for achieving your holiday glow goals.

Radiesse won’t let your hands give you away

No matter how youthful your face looks after your Radiesse holiday glow-up, your hands can be a dead giveaway of age. But Radiesse can help out there, too. 

Radiesse in the hands stimulates collagen in thinning skin to create a more youthful plumpness. Your bulging, visible veins fade to the background after just two weeks. Rejuvenated hands are a special treat, because you don’t have to look in the mirror to appreciate them. 

Your rejuvenated hands and rejuvenated lower face are now a perfect match. And when people ask how you still look so young, you don’t have to tell them, or you could refer them for their own Radiesse treatment.

Are you ready for younger-looking and glowing face and hands for the holidays? Call us today at 916-888-8988 for a Radiesse treatment or send us a message online. We serve the California communities of Granite Bay, Rocklin, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Lincoln, and the greater Sacramento area.
