Radiance

Radiance is an injectable cosmetic filler for cosmetic lip enhancement and wrinkles. Radiance is a biocompatible product, which consists of calcium hydroxyapatate microspheres in a gel carrier. As a material, Radiance is cream-like in texture and remains that way throughout its life. The sensitivity and feeling of enhanced areas are retained. Once injected, its softness resembles that of your normal facial tissue. Your own tissues will integrate with material as a natural process of your body.
Radiance injections last anywhere from 2-5 years. Radiance does not require skin testing because it is the same mineral component as bone and teeth. As such, it is an alternative soft tissue filler to Collagen.  Advantages of Radiance include:

     · Time-tested synthetic material used in medicine and dentistry
     · Complete safety and compatibility with the body
     · Produces a soft, natural-looking appearance
     · Lasts up to three years or more without repetitive treatments
     · Animal and human tissue-free; no allergy testing required
     · Can be performed during an office visit
     · Results are immediately visible

The procedure can be done in the office with local anesthesia and takes about 15 minutes. Down time is minimal and the patient can look good in 24 to 36 hours.
