How does this treatment work?
The V-Effect or V-Lift is the key to restoring a youthful look. With the right product and the right injection technique, the face will regain the optimum 'V' shape, and the wrinkles and sagging will naturally reduce. The V-Effect lift can be achieved with the dermal filler Radiesse. When Radiesse is injected into the skin the gel-matrix of calcium microspheres pushes up the contour depressions, providing an immediate lifting effect and giving instant volume. The calcium microspheres stimulate the production of our own natural collagen, which will further build the volume for prolonged benefit.
Dual effect volume formation
- Immediate effect due to elastic gel-matrix
- Long-acting effect thanks to collagen stimulation
Duration
Individual results are dependent on age, skin type, lifestyle and metabolism and, of course, the area treated. Generally the effect of the treatment lasts around a year for most patients.
