It keeps our skin firm, supple and healthy looking. However, as we age our skin cells lose their ability to produce this substance and as a result of this the skin becomes drier, thinner and lacking in volume.
When introduced into the skin, in tiny amounts with an extra-fine needle, it creates a fresh, natural and more youthful appearance. Since there is no need for pre-testing, treatment with Restylane typically takes 15-30 minutes. Restylane adds volume to skin without affecting your natural expression and the results are seen instantly. It is a natural beauty lift giving long lasting and natural enhancement. It improves looks by enhancing facial profile, creating fuller lips and smoothing out lines and wrinkles.

The natural hydrating properties of Restylane makes it well suited to all skin types. There are no time restrictions on how often you can receive treatment and this can be repeated as often as is necessary, so that you can always look and feel your best.

Manufacturers explain that Radiesse™ dermal filler has been clinically tested for years, with good safety and efficacy results. It works with body in a specific way.

It immediately adds volume to safely contour, correct, and beautify facial features. Manufacturers claim that unlike other fillers, Radiesse™ dermal filler continues to work over time.
Radiesse dermal filler is made from a biocompatible substance that is similar to what’s naturally found in the body. No allergy tests are necessary prior to the treatment.

Radiesse™ should not be used in pregnant or lactating women or individuals with history of hypersensitivity to any of its products.

Naturally present in the skin, hyaluronic acid preserves moisturising levels in the skin and boosts tone.
