Can Dermal Fillers Really Reduce the Appearance of Aging?

Just as some people are completely at ease with aging, there are some people who do not like the idea of looking old at all. People with graying hair and a fear of aging have their hair dyed a more youthful looking color. So, does it come as any surprise that there are people who, upon seeing their skin start to wrinkle, want to have them corrected?

No, it is not surprising, and that is where various dermal fillers such as Radiesse come into play. In order to really understand how Radiesse works, it is very important to have an understanding as to how wrinkles occur in the first place. Anatomically, wrinkles are caused by a depletion of a naturally occurring substance that is known as Hyaluronic acid. This substance is meant to cushion the skin, so without that extra cushion, the skin starts to wrinkle.

This is an outpatient procedure that is The Radiesse injection contains a gel solution that, when injected into the upper layer of the wrinkled skin, replaces the lost Hyaluronic acid. Something that many prospective patients are curious to know about Radiesse is how soon it will be before results can be seen. Actually, results are visible immediately after the treatment has been completed. Although some patients might need multiple treatments, most patients only need one. However, it is important to note that while the results will last for about a year, the patient will have to have the injections again in order to maintain the best possible results.
