boost skin’s natural collagen production

A sign of a well-lived life is the gift of wrinkles, However, keeping a fresh, youthful appearance is important to many as well. Now you can have the best of both worlds.

Pearl Med uses Radiesse® and Sculptra® to boost collagen stimulation for a more youthful you.

Radiesse®

Radiesse® can help you achieve a more youthful you. Radiesse® is the first FDA-approved dermal filler for face and hands, that treats wrinkles and folds in the skin by filling lost volume as well as boosting the skin’s natural collagen production.

Radiesse® is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) particles that are suspended in a water gel. Though there is an instant plumping effect attributed to the gel substance, it doesn’t necessarily “fill” the area of lost volume like typical hyaluronic acid fillers do. Instead, the calcium hydroxylapatite molecules stimulate your body to produce new collagen, which results in a firmer, more youthful appearance for a longer period of time as compared to other fillers. This calcium based filler is perfect for patients who metabolize hyaluronic based fillers quickly. Radiesse® can be thinned out with a mixture of saline and lidocaine (hyperdilute) to boost collagen stimulation in additional areas of the body. To learn more about Radiesse®, click here.

long live collagen

Collagen is quite the wonder protein. Aside from serving a vital role for many parts of our body, it’s also one of the major building blocks of our skin. Unfortunately, as we age, natural collagen production slows down. The result is a loss of elasticity and volume that leads to less-than-sexy sagging skin as well the development of facial lines and wrinkles.

As we age, we lose fullness of the cheeks, temples, jawline and chin area. Where there used to be light, now there are shadows. By replacing the volume loss, you reverse the creation of shadow and restore the reflection of light and the appearance of youth and vibrancy. A facelift will remove excess skin, and to some degree this will lessen the shadow effect, but a facelift will not restore volume. And volume is what makes you look young. Sculptra® stimulates your own body to restore lost collagen and volume in a natural way.

sculptra®

Droopy Skin? Sagging Skin or Loose Skin? Flattened Contours? Sculptra Aesthetic® is your answer! Sculptra® stimulates your own body to restore lost collagen and volume in a natural way.

Sculptra® is made with a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic material called poly-L-lactic acid. When strategically injected in the desired treatment area, it’s naturally and gradually absorbed by the body to help rebuild lost collagen. Typically, visible improvement will appear within 4-6 weeks after each treatment and will gradually improve up to 12 months after your initial treatment. Your results may last 2-3 years or longer. This is achieved through a series of treatments administered by a trained injector.
