Thanks to modern cosmetology, any person can restore youth to his skin and restore the oval face, which is used contour plastic. Filler "Radiess" is a product of American manufacture, which allows you to make changes in the shape of the face through non-surgical rejuvenation. It is used not so long ago, but has already won respect and popularity. The article will provide answers to frequently asked questions: "Fillers" Radiesses "- what is it in cosmetology?", "Why are they applied?" And "What are they better than hyaluronic acid?".

The state of the skin is largely determined by the presence in them of elastin, as well as collagen. These elements are responsible for the elasticity and elasticity of the skin. Unfortunately, over time their synthesis is markedly reduced, because of what the skin becomes dry, wrinkles form and the face oval sags. Therefore, the filler "Radiess" is perfect for solving such problems.

Distinctive features

The filler "Radiess" is based on the crystalline mineral of hydroxyapatite calcium. It is a natural component of the human body and is part of the dental as well as bone tissue. In the production of the filler "Radiess" calcium hydroxyapatite is synthesized from sea corals, after which it is suspended in a gel-like filler. The natural origin of the drugs guarantees their biocompatibility and biodegradability with a lasting effect.

Application

Initially, the gel was used exclusively for medical purposes to restore the facial tissues of patients. But thanks to a lot of positive results the drug spread and became actively used in surgery, urology and even dentistry. Then, as it often happens with similar means, it is increasingly being used in cosmetology.

To date, for which only zones are not used fillers - in nasolabial folds, cheekbones, cheeks, nose and so on. Radiess successfully restores the volume of specific areas of the face, where the first signs of aging are manifested. Cosmetologists use the tool for the following purposes:

• Elimination of scars and scars;
• Correction of the face oval;
• Smoothing of nasolabial folds;
• Correction of the shape of the nose;
• Eyebrow lift;
• Restoration of soft tissues;
• Improving the shape of the cheekbones, chin and cheeks;
• Build up the fabric of the back of the hand;
• Getting rid of other cosmetic defects on the body.

In addition, the filler can also be used to increase the volume of the lips. Although the testimonials of clients and cosmetologists themselves say that hyaluronic drugs cope with this much better.

When restoring large volumes of soft tissue, Radiess does not run into the cheekbones or into the sunken cheeks. In this case, the gel is injected directly onto the bone tissue.

It is much more difficult to work with the neck, eliminating wrinkles on it. After the introduction of the filler, a not very noticeable white edging may form. This suggests that such procedures are carried out exclusively in the presence of dense skin.

As for the back of the hand, the drug is injected there in a small amount, as it will be visible through the thin skin. The unique properties of the product slow the aging process and slightly compact the surface of the skin of the hands, but they do not hide the protruding veins.

Features

Properties of drugs are largely determined by their composition. In "Radiess", in addition to hydroxyapatite calcium, contains a migrating gel. Immediately after the introduction, it forms under the wrinkles depot filler, then increases to 80% in volume and pushes the tissue out.

The advantage of "Radiess" in front of hyaluronic fillers is that the latter only attract moisture, while the former stimulate the build-up of new collagen fibers, and also provide tissue repair, thereby guaranteeing a long-lasting rejuvenation effect. After the full decomposition of the filler components, the previously increased volume of soft tissues is retained to 30%.

The composition of the drug has a component that is 70% of the carrier gel, and 30% of the hydroxyapatite of calcium. It is rapidly absorbed by microphage cells, and then fibroblasts form a new collagenous tissue, which by the second month around the microspheres forms a fairly stable structure of a new tissue.

Benefits

The "Radiess" preparation with the maximum duration of the visual effect is completely biodegradable. Unlike hyaluronic acid, this gel does not retain moisture, but promotes the formation of new collagen fibers, which is a considerable advantage. If you take this fact into account, then the drug is recommended for people who have a skin prone to puffiness.

"Radiess" is valid from 18 months to 3 years, while the effect of hyaluronic fillers does not last more than 9 months. In addition, the first agent is not capable of causing inflammatory processes, mutagenic abnormalities in DNA, and migration of the gel.

Procedure

The introduction of the filler session is very similar to other procedures of this type. First, consultation is carried out, then contraindications are eliminated, a dosage is prescribed, and only after that gel injection points are determined.

Before the injection, an anesthetic cream is applied to the skin, which significantly reduces the sensitivity of the skin. After this, the main drug is introduced. The whole session lasts from 15 to 50 minutes, which depends on the number of treated sites.

After-session care

After the introduction of the drug in most cases, there is swelling, but it goes through just a couple of days. To quickly solve this problem, you should regularly apply ice packs to the treated areas and keep for about 3-4 minutes.

Doctors strongly recommend excluding from the use of drugs, whose action is aimed at diluting the blood: ibuprofen, aspirin and so on. Along with this, it is required to abandon alcohol, fish oil and vitamin E (both internal and external application).

When introducing fillers into nasolabial folds, you need to minimize food intake, which must be chewed. This rule applies to cases with treatment of other areas, but if the drug is inserted into the nasolabial folds, then this should be paid special attention.

The filler is injected approximately 7-8 hours before bedtime. To sleep it is necessary exclusively on a back, using thus a soft pillow.

All week after the session it is recommended to refrain from attending the gym, solarium, sauna, swimming pool and bath. As little as possible you need to be in the sun, and at any exit on the street you should apply sunscreen.

The effect of introducing the filler will be noticeable immediately after the swelling is gone. But it should be remembered that in a month it will be slightly less pronounced. This is due to the onset of the decomposition of calcium hydroxypatite and the delay of collagen fibers.

After a while, new collagen fibers will begin to form, due to which the designated zones will be filled with soft tissues. Many patients do not wait for this process and insist on the repeated administration of the drug, while at the same time risking an increase in the treated area. Entering the filler is re-authorized only after 2-3 months after the procedure.

Effects

Despite the fact that "Radiess" is a biocompatible drug, there are no guarantees for complications and side effects. Immediately after the introduction of the gel, the patient can feel complete numbness, itching and condensation of the treated areas. In addition, redness or discoloration can be seen, which is quite normal. A few days after the session, all this will pass by itself. The owners of sensitive skin can have an allergy and whitish edging on the skin, where the drug was administered.

If the filler is introduced in order to impress others during an event, the procedure is recommended to be carried out approximately 2-3 months before the significant date. During this time all complications will pass, and the skin will look very naturally.
