Frequently Asked Questions by Estrella Aesthetic & Surgical Arts
What is Radiesse® (+)?
Radiesse® (+) includes lidocaine, a numbing agent that enhances comfort during the injection process. It offers the same sculpting and collagen-stimulating benefits, with a smoother and more comfortable treatment experience.
How long do Radiesse® results last?
Radiesse® results typically last 12 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and your body’s response. Over time, the collagen stimulation continues to improve skin quality even as the product gradually metabolizes.
What areas can Radiesse® treat?
Radiesse® is commonly used to enhance the cheeks, jawline, and hands. It is particularly effective for restoring structure, defining contours, and improving skin firmness in areas that have lost volume.
Does Radiesse® look natural?
Yes—when performed by skilled providers, Radiesse® integrates seamlessly into your tissue, creating definition and lift while maintaining softness and natural movement.
What is EZ-Gel and how is it different?
EZ-Gel is a regenerative treatment created using your body’s own growth factors, making it one of the most natural approaches to facial rejuvenation. Unlike synthetic fillers, EZ-Gel works by enhancing your skin’s ability to repair and renew itself from within.
What are the benefits of EZ-Gel?
EZ-Gel improves skin texture, elasticity, and hydration while stimulating collagen production. Patients often notice brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin with a natural glow that continues to improve over time.
How long do results last?
Results can last several months and often improve gradually as collagen production increases. Many patients choose to maintain their results with periodic treatments.
Is EZ-Gel safe?
Because EZ-Gel is derived from your own biological material, it is highly biocompatible and carries minimal risk of allergic reactions or complications.
Who is a good candidate for EZ-Gel?
EZ-Gel is ideal for patients who prefer a natural, regenerative approach to anti-aging, especially those looking to improve overall skin quality rather than add volume.
What is KYBELLA® and how does it work?
KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce fat beneath the chin. It works by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body, resulting in a more sculpted and defined profile.
