Welcome to the Skin Biostimulation Program
We are excited to introduce our Skin Biostimulation Program designed to rejuvenate your skin using Radiesse® injections. This leaflet provides essential information about the treatment, benefits, risks, and what to expect.
What is the Skin Biostimulation Program?
The Skin Biostimulation Program at NeuGlow utilizes Radiesse® (Calcium Hydroxylapatite, CaHA) injections to enhance your skin’s appearance by stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin. This treatment helps in:
- Smoothing wrinkles and fine lines
- Restoring volume and contours
- Improving skin texture and firmness
How Does Radiesse® Work?
Radiesse® is a biocompatible dermal filler that provides immediate volume and acts as a scaffold to support the growth of new tissue. Over time, Radiesse® promotes the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in long-lasting skin rejuvenation.
Benefits of the Program
- Immediate Results: Instant improvement in skin volume and reduction of wrinkles.
- Long-Lasting Effects: Enhanced skin quality over time due to increased collagen and elastin production.
