As our skin ages, facial wrinkles develop from sun damage and gravity. Facial wrinkles become prominent as collagen and the supporting elastin fibers beneath our skin surface breakdown. Replacing this missing or degraded collagen and elastin with fresh biodegradable material in the dermis is one option to help lessen the appearance of wrinkles and lines on our face. Dermal fillers today are more sophisticated than the bovine collagen from the past which still requires a skin allergy test before its use. Dermal fillers presently are animal derived or non-animal derived. The reNew Medispa offers many types of dermal fillers depending on your specific needs. In some cases, dermal fillers are combined with Botox® Cosmetic for enhanced results. Because reNew is a medical spa you may request topical anesthesia or a dental block with lidocaine to maximize your comfort. General treatment times vary but are usually between 20-30 minutes, if you anticipate the need for an anesthetic agent than you should add an additional 25 minutes onto your treatment time. After the treatment there is generally no down time, you may experience some mild redness and swelling at the treatment site. The most common facial sites that individuals request treatment for at the reNew Medispa are the creases between the cheek and lip (nasolabial fold), the creases that tend to arc down from the corners of the mouth (marionette lines), the lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) and to enhance the upper or lower lips. Radiesse® Radiesse® is composed primarily of calcium hydroxyapatite, a component of natural bone. It has been used for many years by physicians for dental, maxillofacial and orthopedic surgery. The microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite are suspended in a gel carrier, the gel carrier is resorbed by the body and is replaced with the body's own soft tissue in growth. Radiesse® treatments tend to last longer than other fillers up to 18 months, touchup treatment may be necessary to maintain soft tissue fullness. Radiesse® is commonly used around the nasolabial region, repair of traumatic or congenital facial defects, and volume enhancement around the cheeks or to augment the lips. The reNew Medispa Dermal Filler Pricing Guide Radiesse® ($625 per 1.3cc vial, includes anesthetic agent of choice) For your safety, all dermal fillers and anesthetic care are administered by a licensed plastic surgeon. The reNew Medispa stocks a large variety of dermal fillers, however, uncommonly used fillers are often ordered per individual request.
