Categories
- Can sugaring help reduce hair growth over time?
Yes, with regular treatments, sugaring can lead to thinner, finer hair and potentially reduced hair growth.
- How do RADIESSE®️ and SCULPTRA®️ enhance facial aesthetics?
RADIESSE®️ immediately adds volume to aging skin and stimulates natural collagen production for long-term skin revitalization. SCULPTRA®️ works more gradually, targeting the underlying causes of facial aging by promoting the body’s own collagen synthesis, resulting in smoother, firmer skin over time.
- What makes RADIESSE®️ and SCULPTRA®️ different from other fillers?
Both treatments have unique properties that set them apart. RADIESSE®️ is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that provide immediate structural support and encourage natural collagen growth. SCULPTRA®️, composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), acts primarily as a collagen stimulator, gradually improving skin texture and volume.
- Are the results from RADIESSE®️ and SCULPTRA®️ treatments immediate?
With RADIESSE®️, you’ll see instant improvement. SCULPTRA®️, on the other hand, delivers its beauty benefits gradually, with results becoming more noticeable over a few weeks to months as collagen production is stimulated.
- How long do the effects of RADIESSE®️ and SCULPTRA®️ last?
The effects of RADIESSE®️ can last a year or more, while SCULPTRA®️ can last up to two years in some patients, as it gradually helps your skin rebuild natural collagen.
- Can RADIESSE®️ and SCULPTRA®️ be used together?
Yes, in some cases, combining these treatments can address multiple concerns by providing immediate volume and stimulating long-term collagen production for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
- What areas can be treated with RADIESSE®️ and SCULPTRA®️?
RADIESSE®️ is often used for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and to address volume loss, such as in cheeks, and in the back of the hands. SCULPTRA®️ is commonly used to add volume to facial hollows, such as in the cheeks and temples, while addressing thinning, crepe skin.
- Are RADIESSE®️ and SCULPTRA®️ treatments safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified professional like us at Jolie Medical Aesthetic Services, both treatments are FDA-approved and have a strong safety profile.
- Is there any downtime after a RADIESSE®️ or SCULPTRA®️ treatment?
You may experience some swelling or bruising at the injection site, but this typically subsides within a few days. Swelling is common with both treatments, but generally subsides within a couple days. It should be noted that each patient can experience variations in downtime.
