NEWLY CREATED COLLAGEN

70% – carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), cellulose gel with glycerine

30% – uniform microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA); CaHA is a natural component of our body that forms the mineral part of bones and teeth.

Calcium hydroxyapatite, also known as Radiesse, is a so-called stimulatory filler, the effect of which is neocollagenesis, or new collagen formation. Collagen is necessary for elasticity, but collagen production slows down with age, and so the skin loses its elasticity and youthful appearance.

With a single application we achieve a double effect – immediate replenishment of the missing volume and at the same time gradual stimulation of the production of your own collagen. The duration of the effect depends on the age, skin type, metabolism and lifestyle of the patient. On average the effect lasts for two years. Several clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the filler.

Why is collagen so important?

Collagen forms the structure of bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, joints and skin. It has a positive effect on the human body because it supports the work of cells that make up human tissue.

Areas suitable for application:

• face
• nasal-oral furrows – their smoothing
• jaw
• chin – emphasizes a small chin
• hands – the hiding of protruding veins

Course of application

The filler is applied by cannula into the subcutaneous tissue. The application itself lasts about 10-30 minutes, and it is not painful, because the filler also contains a small amount of local anaesthetic. Volume is added immediately after application and gradually begins to stimulate collagen production. After treatment, the patient can return to his or her daily activities.

Reactions that can occur after the procedure include, for example, swelling, redness and bruising, which disappear within a few days.

This treatment is not recommended for people allergic to lidocaine or any of the other ingredients, with bleeding disorders, or those who are pregnant or are breast-feeding.
