Hello.
This is Dr. Hwang Bo-hwang, Director of Cleor Gangnam.
"I didn't used to worry much about the loss of skin elasticity,
but lately, every time I look in the mirror, I feel like something's changed, and it's bothering me."
"Why does my face look so droopy in photos?
I didn't realize my skin elasticity would decline this quickly."
Have you ever had these concerns?
From what I hear from people around me, it slowly starts to be felt from the late 20s,
and when you enter your 30s and 40s,
you really start to notice it 😭
Your cheeks sag, your nasolabial folds deepen,
and you feel upset when you compare yourself to old photos and see how different you look.
Today, I'm going to introduce you to Gangnam Radiesse treatments,
which can effectively address those skin elasticity concerns,
in a friendly and easy-to-understand way.
I've included everything from the definition of the treatment to its effects, process, precautions,
and frequently asked questions, so please read until the end!
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a procedureusing a filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA).
It's not just about filling in volume,but its biggest feature is that it stimulates collagen production in the skin,
boosting skin elasticity itself.
CaHA is similar to minerals that naturally exist in our bodies,
so it has high biocompatibility,
and is naturally absorbed into the body over time.
At the same time, it continues to have a 'biological stimulation' effect,
inducing collagen production,
so it not only has an immediate effect after the procedure,
but also continuously improves skin elasticity.
Gangnam Radiesse treatments are particularly effective for improving overall facial sagging,
replenishing volume, and reducing nasolabial folds,
and it is one of the most popular treatments at Cleor Gangnam that many people are satisfied with.
What are the effects of Radiesse?
The effects of Radiesse can be summarized into three main categories.
First, immediate volume improvement
From immediately after the procedure, natural volume is restored to sunken cheeks, sunken forehead,
and sagging jawline.
The advantage is that it doesn't look overly 'filled' and fills in naturally like your original face shape.
Second, improved skin elasticity through collagen production
This is the key differentiator of Gangnam Radiesse.Because CaHA induces collagen synthesis in the deep layers of the skin,
you can feel your skin elasticity gradually improving from 2-3 months after the procedure.
You can expect both immediate and long-term effects at the same time.
Third, long duration
The duration is longer compared to general hyaluronic acid fillers,
with effects lasting an average of 12-18 months.
Of course, this may vary depending on individual skin condition and lifestyle habits.
In addition, you can expect complex effects
that improve overall skin elasticity,
such as improving skin tone and reducing shallow wrinkles.
What is the procedure like?
Many people are vaguely worried before their first procedure,
but the Gangnam Radiesse procedure is simpler than you think.
① Consultation
First, we thoroughly analyze your face condition through a 1:1 consultation with the director.
We discuss areas where sagging is prominent, areas where volume is lacking,
and points you want to improve, and create a treatment plan together.
② Anesthesia
Before the procedure, we apply a topical anesthetic cream to relieve pain.
The Radiesse product itself also contains lidocaine (a local anesthetic),
which greatly reduces discomfort during the procedure.
③ Procedure
We perform the procedure precisely using a thin needle or cannula (blunt-tip cannula).
The time required varies depending on the area,
but is usually around 20-40 minutes.
④ Finishing and Aftercare Instructions
After the procedure, we reduce swelling with a simple massage and ice pack,
and provide instructions on precautions and care methods.
Most people can return to their daily lives on the same day.Precautions Before and After the ProcedureThere are things you must keep in mind to maintain skin elasticity for a long time
and prevent side effects.
Before the procedure
Refrain from taking blood thinners such as aspirin and ibuprofen 1-2 weeks before the procedure
No alcohol the day before the procedure (may worsen bruising or swelling)
Avoid strong exfoliation treatments to reduce skin irritation
After the procedure
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and bathhouses on the day of the procedure
Be careful not to massage or compress the treated area strongly
Avoid strong sun exposure for 1-2 weeks after the procedure and apply sunscreen thoroughly
Swelling or bruising will mostly disappear within 1-2 weeks.
* If symptoms persist for a long time, be sure to consult a healthcare professional
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Is the Radiesse procedure painful?
A. We apply enough numbing cream before the procedure,
and the product itself contains an anesthetic ingredient, so most people say,
"It doesn't hurt as much as I thought."
There may be some differences depending on individual pain sensitivity.
Q. How long does skin elasticity last?
A. It lasts an average of 12-18 months,
and you can feel your skin elasticity gradually improving over time due to the collagen production effect after the procedure.
Q. How is Gangnam Radiesse different from other fillers?
A. While general hyaluronic acid fillers focus on replenishing volume,
Radiesse has an added collagen-stimulating effect,
making it more effective in improving skin elasticity itself. It also has a relatively long duration.
Q. Is it possible to return to daily life immediately after the procedure?
A. Yes, in most cases, it is possible to return to daily life on the same day.
However, it is best to avoid it right before important events as swelling or mild bruising may occur.
Q. Who is the Radiesse procedure suitable for?
A. It is especially recommended for those who feel overall facial sagging,
those who feel that their skin elasticity has decreased as their cheeks have sunken,
and those whose nasolabial folds have deepened.
We will confirm the exact suitability through consultation.
"Now is the best time for skin elasticity."
The decline in skin elasticity does not worsen dramatically at once,
but progresses slowly and steadily.
That's why the point at which many people feel "Ah, something has changed" is
often later than they think.
However, if you don't miss that timing and manage it at the right time,
you can get much more natural and satisfactory results.
The Gangnam Radiesse procedure is not just about filling in volume,
but approaches it in a way that fundamentally improves skin elasticity,
so those who have experienced it once are very satisfied.
If you have any questions or want to see if it's right for your skin condition,
