What Is “Hyperdilute” Radiesse?
While it sounds complicated, hyperdiluted Radiesse is simply Radiesse that has been thinned out with a mixture of saline solution and Lidocaine. This diluted mixture is injected into areas where the skin is showing sagging and looseness. The calcium hydroxyapatite molecules in Radiesse then stimulate the body to build new collagen. This naturally firms and improves the area, adding volume to the sagging area and improving the skin texture.
What Can Hyperdilute Radiesse Help With?
All areas can be done, but some new interesting areas to consider are the decolletage (chest wall), necklines for thinning skin around the neck, cellulitic dimples of the thighs and buttocks, giving minor volume to the buttock for better shape, knee lines from lax skin with aging, stretch marks, and laxity around the arms.
Who Is An Ideal Candidate For Hyperdilute Radiesse?
With hyperdiluted Radiesse, We are is able to gradually tighten and thicken targeted areas of skin, creating smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin on treatment areas across the face and body. It’s an exciting new treatment that can correct a wider range of aesthetic problems, including crepe-like skin, skin laxity, and even areas of cellulite. It does this naturally through the body’s own collagen production.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
We have found that from one to three initial treatment sessions are needed to achieve the aesthetic effects desired. These are spaced one month apart. From there, it’s only maintenance, with one hyperdilute Radiesse treatment every 12-18 months.
What Kinds Of Results Can I Expect With These Hyperdilute Radiesse Treatments?
When Radiesse is diluted in this fashion and is then injected into areas of collagen (and subsequent volume) loss it triggers the body to produce new collagen. But the difference is the type of collagen produced. There are three forms of collagen, Type I, Type II, and Type III. The original collagen in our bodies that is produced to provide the structural latticework that supports our skin is Type I collagen. That’s where the problem with aging occurs, as the production of this original form of collagen drops by one additional percentage point every year after our 20th birthday. That means by the age of 45, our skin is supported by 25 percent less collagen; that’s why it’s about that time when wrinkles, lines, and areas of volume loss start to show up.
Hyperdiluted Radiesse has now been shown to stimulate new production of Type I collagen. Type II and Type III collagen are inferior strains without the longevity and strength of the original form. That’s why hyperdiluted Radiesse is such a great new treatment option.
Any area that is sagging or is showing crepe-like skin can be changed with these treatments. You’ll see smoother, plump, firmer skin in all of the areas our providers injects hyperdilute Radiesse. From there, occasional maintenance every year or so maintains your plump, younger-looking skin.
PC/DC is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injection for reducing moderate to severe fullness in the sub-mental region commonly known as the “double chin” in adults. The injections are made up of a naturally occurring substance in the body called deoxycholic acid.
Once injected into the fat cells- deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells permanently.
Who is a good candidate?
Someone who has mild to moderate fullness in the double chin area that bothers them.
Someone who does not want to or is not medically able to have plastic surgery or liposuction. PC/DC only requires the patient to have an office visit for injections in their chin, so general anesthesia is not required.
How long does a treatment take?
Once we begin injecting, it will take approx 5-10 minutes total.
Does it hurt?
A few minutes after we begin injection you will start to feel a burning sensation. This peaks about 5 minutes after we start injecting and lasts for about 15 minutes.
What are the side effects?
As stated above, you will have some temporary but quick discomfort immediately following the injections. You will also start to swell. Swelling will be the worst on the day after your treatment and last for about a week or so. You may also experience bruising or numbness in the treated area which will go away.
How many treatments will I need?
There is no “cookie cutter” protocol for PC/DC. Every person has their own problem area. The amount of fat and the disposition of the fat will vary from person to person. Most people who are candidates will need at least 2 treatments (spaced out 6 weeks apart) and 2-3 vials of PC/DC at each session.
When will I see results?
Typically you can start to see results from the first treatment in 4-6 weeks. Due to the fact that you will most likely be treating again at the 6-week mark (and, thus, swelling again) expect to begin to see results about 4 weeks after the 2nd treatment. You will continue to see improvement for up to 3 months after your last session.
PC/DC can also be used for fat removal anywhere on the body
HOW DOES IT WORK
BREAKING DOWN BOUNDARIES.
THE FIRST FULL BODY FRACTIONATED TECHNOLOGY
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that pairs microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. It uses tiny needles to deliver energy deep into your skin, creating micro injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing response and promote production of new collagen and elastin, to firm and remodel skin. It can be used anywhere on your body, including the abdomen or buttocks, though it’s most popular for the face, jawline, and neck.
What sets the Morpheus8 apart from similar devices is that its heat can reach deeper dermal layers—and the depth is customizable, so your provider can adjust it based on your specific skin concerns. It can improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles, tighten lax skin, smooth out rough or uneven texture, treat hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, help fade stretch marks, and even reduce some fat (though not significantly enough that you’d have to worry about volume loss in your face).
RF microneedling is a “colorblind” technology, meaning it’s safe for use on all skin types and tones. (Some other resurfacing treatments can cause pigmentation issues in patients with olive or brown skin.
On the day of your procedure, your provider applies a topical anesthetic to the treatment area, which can take up to an hour to numb the skin. The treatment itself lasts between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treated area. First, your provider should do a test spot, to make sure you don’t have any adverse reactions. As they’re moving the device across your skin, you may feel pressure and dull discomfort during the procedure, but it’s not typically painful.
Morpheus8 recovery is relatively easy. Providers say you can expect one to three days of redness, itchiness, and swelling, with possible pinprick marks from the needles; these should fade on their own within two weeks. That means you can schedule the procedure on a Friday and look normal by Monday. You’ll also need to avoid sun exposure for a few weeks and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen when you have to be out and about.
Most RealSelf members who’ve tried Morpheus8 said it was “Worth It,” Very rarely, crusting, hyperpigmentation, and scarring can also occur after treatment.
For the best Morpheus8 results, you’ll probably need up to three sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. New collagen takes time to develop, but results should appear within three to six months. Then you’ll need yearly sessions, to maintain ramped-up collagen production.
Plasma Pen Fibroblasting
Plasma Pen is the newest cosmetic procedure to combat wrinkles, loss of collagen, and
sagging skin. As we age, the dermal layer of our skin thins, we produce less collagen, and we lose elasticity. All of these factors produce sagging and wrinkling of the skin. The Plasma Pen is
a procedure targeting a wide variety of skin conditions including loss of elasticity, sagging, and
wrinkles that have been traditionally treated with fillers or plastic surgery.
HOW DOES THE PLASMA PEN WORK?
Our highly trained and certified Plasma Pen technicians use the device to delivery plasma fibroblasting. The plasma significantly tightens, lifts, resurfaces, and regenerates practically any area of the skin.
Plasma Pen converts electrical energy into gaseous diatomic molecular nitrogen and transmits that energized gas in a non-contact way to the skin’s surface from above. This causes a micro-trauma to the skin’s epidermal layer (top layers) whilst simultaneously heating and disrupting the deeper dermal structure via thermal conduction. This treatment is also known as fibroblasting. Fibroblasts are the most common cells of connective tissue in the body that produce collagen.

Non-Invasive Slimming Technology to Help You Shape the Body You Want.
CRYOSKIN
What is it and how does it work?
CryoSkin is one device, 3 modes, amazing results. Find out which one is right for you! CryoSkin is cutting edge technology that is taking the beauty world by storm.
CryoSlimming
The CryoSkin treatments are done every 2 weeks to ensure your body's lymphatic system has time to recover leaving you to look and feel amazing. CryoSkin uses the Peltier effect which gives precise temperature control creating the perfect conditions to reduce fat without damaging the surrounding tissue. The body calls on the lymphatic system to send macrophages (large white blood cells) to come and "eat up" the fat debris after the cold temperature has destroyed the fat cell.
Cold temperatures, when applied to fat cells, trigger apoptosis-also known as "programmed cell death" - a process which occurs naturally in the body all the time. With the application of sub-zero temperatures, CryoSlimming is able to induce apoptosis to target fat cells and eliminate body fat. We use this science to achieve incredible results. CryoSlimming is completely non-invasive and uses science that works with your body's natural systems.
