Skin Care Before & After Case 16

Volume loss of the face is a sign of aging. Facial wrinkles develop as fat, skin, and muscle shrink with sun damage or age. The nasolabial folds, wrinkles from the bottom nose to the side of the mouth, are typical areas where nonsurgical cosmetic treatments are performed. The tear-trough and midface are supplemental areas that also benefit from treatment.

A woman from the DC area wanted to reduce the tired appearance of her cheeks and under eye areas and wanted to avoid plastic surgery. First, she started a skin care program to help reduce dark circles and improve the skin quality. Next, she underwent only one Radiesse treatment with immediate improvement in facial volume. Radiesse may last up to one year, and additional treatments may be performed for added volume enhancement.
