The state of the skin is largely determinedthe presence of elastin in them, 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

Filler "Radiess" is created on the basis of crystallinemineral 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 inmedical purposes, to restore the facial tissue 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 areas onlyFillers are used - in nasolabial folds, cheekbones, cheeks, nose and so on. The drug "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;

• 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 wrinkleson 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 drugis introduced there in a small amount, since 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 theircomposition. 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 the volume and pushes the tissue out.

Advantage of "Radiess" in front of hyaluronicfillers 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 full decomposition of the filler components, the previously increased volume of soft tissues is retained to 30%.

The preparation contains a component that70% consists of a carrier gel, and 30% of a hydroxyapatite of calcium. It is quickly 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

Preparation "Radiess" with maximum durationthe 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, at thattime, as 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.

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.
