Radiesse®
Are you concerned that lines, creases and wrinkles are beginning to negatively impact your appearance? At his plastic surgery center in Algonquin, board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gunnar Thors offers more options than ever before for people who are looking for ways to fight signs of premature aging, while achieving results that are both appropriate and natural. With Radiesse®, Dr. Thors has helped his patients to achieve outcomes using this non-invasive procedure which are both exciting and long lasting.
Patients of Dr. Thors in the Algonquin and Fox River Valley region find that Radiesse® effectively diminishes the vertical lines that can form around the lips and the horizontal lines across the forehead. Radiesse® treats stubborn wrinkles such as the furrow between the eyebrows, as well as the lines that can run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth, creases that normally could only be treated with face or brow lifts. Radiesse® can also improve the appearance of aging hands by increasing soft tissue volume of the back of the hands.
Radiesse® dermal filler is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. Radiesse® dermal filler is a good choice for total facial contouring. It can restore a healthy, youthful appearance, enhance your existing features, and increase your confidence – all without invasive surgery or scarring. One of the great advantages of treatment with Radiesse® is that Dr. Thors can perform this procedure in Algonquin at your convenience and with relatively little or no downtime. Moreover, your result can last over a year. This can mean fewer injections and office visits. Radiesse® also stimulates your skin to produce new collagen.
