BIOSTIMULATORS
in High Point, NC
As we age, we don't just lose volume. Our skin also makes less collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep it firm and bouncy. That's why our focus goes beyond replacing volume to regeneration. Biostimulators do both: they add structure right away and help your skin rebuild its own collagen over the following months.
At Aesthetically Yours, we use Radiesse+, a biostimulator made of tiny calcium-based microspheres in a smooth gel, with lidocaine added for comfort.
WHAT RADIESSE+ CAN TREAT
-
A softer or less defined jawline and jowling
-
Volume loss in the cheeks and lower face
-
Crepey skin on the neck
-
Thin, aging skin on the backs of the hands
-
Did you know you can treat your neck and hands too? Too often they're neglected, and they can show age as much as the face.
RADIESSE vs HYALURONIC ACID FILLER
Hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane and RHA mainly add volume and can be dissolved. Radiesse+ adds lift and stimulates new collagen, and it lasts longer. Because it can't be dissolved the same way, careful placement by an experienced injector matters. It isn't used in the lips or around the eyes, where we use hyaluronic acid filler instead (see Dermal Filler and Lip Filler).
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR APPOINTMENT
We'll review your goals and assess your skin quality and facial structure. Then we'll recommend how much product you need and whether one session or a series is best. Treatment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes.
HOW LONG RESULTS LAST
You'll see lift right away. Your results then keep improving over the next few months as new collagen forms. Results often last a year or longer, depending on the area treated and your body.
AFTERCARE & DOWNTIME
Most patients return to normal activities right away. Mild swelling, tenderness and bruising are common for a few days.
-
Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol and heat for 24 hours.
-
Follow any massage instructions we give you.
-
Use a cold compress for swelling.
