Non-Surgical Facial Contouring
with Injectable Dermal Fillers
Radiesse and Captique
Are you tired of looking tired?
Are your nasal labial fold or "smile lines" giving away your age?
Are your lips thinning?
Maybe your jawline is not as precise as it used to be?
Is your nose not quite the image you want for yourself?
Have you ever thought about getting a face lift, but don't want the high
expense, lengthy recovery time or risk of complications?
If you can say yes to any of the above questions, there are options
available. Non-surgical facial contouring is a process where dermal fillers are injected
into areas of the face to improve, enhance or give volume helping to take years
off your age or improve your overall appearance. The procedure can last
six months to two or three years depending on the product and area of the face
treated.
Being an accomplished photographer, Dr. Gurney Pearsall, Jr. has an eye for
sculpting the face to give you the right balance without looking as if you have
had "work" performed. He is a very talented
injector able to sculpt the face into what you have been longing to correct or
enhance. A physician with a good eye coupled with expertise and skill are important factors when seeking a physician to provide
non-surgical facial sculpting. We offer two proven products. See
below for more information.
Captique is an FDA approved, non-animal
stabilized hyaluronic acid injectable gel used for the correction of
moderate to severe facial wrinkles with minimal swelling.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in skin and works to trap water
and maintain the intercellular space within the dermis. As our skin ages,
hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin are gradually lost from the dermis. The
end result is volume loss, skin laxity, and wrinkles.
No pre-test is necessary
is needed as one of it's main components, hyaluronic acid, occurs naturally in
the body. Captique is a clear gel that can be injected
into the lips as well as wrinkles, to provide a desired augmentation
and refreshed, younger appearance. Botox will help the skin from
being creased, but it may take time before the wrinkles flattens out.
Captique fills in the wrinkle thereby eliminating it and can be used in
conjunction with Botox for a smoother instant appearance.
Once injected it works together
with your body's own hyaluronic acid and lasts longer than bovine-derived
collagen, or human cadaveric collagen.

Radiesse is the newest non-surgical facial contouring filler that delivers
immediate, long lasting results. Now you can sculpt cheekbones, the
nose, chin and anywhere you need enhancement. It also works as a dermal
filler to fill in deeper lines and ridges and lasts one to two years while it
generates new collagen to add volume to the treated area.
Whether you’re longing to reverse the common signs of aging or address a
structural issue that otherwise would require an invasive treatment, you have more
options in looking and feeling better with Radiesse™. Developed with safety and
longevity in mind, Radiesse is a proven injectable filler that offers
superior versatility for both cosmetic and reconstructive use without surgery.
What sets Radiesse apart from other dermal fillers? The answer is in its
durability, longevity, and versatility. The unique composition of Radiesse
provides immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, along with the
benefit of long-lasting results. This is because Radiesse is made of very tiny,
smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles)
form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagen grows, and this produces
the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse the ideal
choice for facial shaping and contouring.
Used to restore and reshape obvious signs of facial aging, Radiesse does more
than other fillers that simply chase wrinkles. Its unique contouring ability
allows physicians to treat large areas of the face in one procedure. For the
first three months after injection, Radiesse initially performs as a filler
substance by plumping up the skin. Then thanks to its collagen-generating
properties, Radiesse actually stimulates new tissue development for extended
correction for up to 12 to 24 months. A small touch up is needed at
about 10 weeks.
Benefits:
Results are immediate.
It cannot provoke any allergic reaction.
It is soft and remains pliable for years.
It is cost-effective because it is long lasting.
There is no need to harvest tissue from another site on your body.
Radiesse can be used alone or in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation
procedures such as laser skin rejuvenation, chemical peels or facial surgery.
Radiesse produces longer-lasting results than its competitors, which saves
you time and money. Unlike other fillers that often require multiple
re-injections stretched out over weeks or even months to maintain optimal
results, Radiesse’s unique longevity reduces the need for costly and
time-consuming re-injections. Radiesse also allows you to resume your daily
activities almost immediately.
Whether you’re considering Radiesse to reduce signs of facial aging or you
require a more reconstructive or therapeutic use, you can rest assured that
extensive research and testing has gone into making Radiesse an extremely safe
and versatile filler. When you add up the advantages, you’ll see that Radiesse
is the right choice for your needs.
