Radiesse
What it is: Calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel.
Pro: Immediate and long-term results.
Con: Cannot be used in high-movement areas like the lips.
How long it lasts: 2-3 years. (semi-permanent)
Because of its density, Radiesse is best used on the smile lines of the cheeks and the nasolabial folds. After being injected, the smooth microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite (a natural substance found in the body) in Radiesse act as a filler, but over the next few months, the microspheres will prompt the skin to produce collagen. Over time, the microspheres will disintegrate, but because of the new collage production, the wrinkle correction will last.
There is no need for an allergy test before using Radiesse, so with one visit to Medi-Spa at Knoxville Dermatology Group, you can get results that last for 2-3 years.

Medi-Spa Special: Save on Radiesse® Wrinkle Filler! Purchase one 1.5 cc syringe and get the second one FREE! $900 value. Offer expires 11.30.09.
Healthy, young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility and strength. As part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing facial volume. This loss of elasticity and volume results in the wrinkles, facial lines and skin laxity that rob your skin of its youthful appearance.
Welcome Back Your Own Natural Collagen
The ideal way to achieve wrinkle reduction is by replenishing lost volume. With RADIESSE® wrinkle filler, you welcome back your own natural collagen to smooth out the signs of aging. That’s because RADIESSE® wrinkle filler’s unique formulation stimulates collagenesis – the production of new collagen – which results in increased volume for natural-looking wrinkle correction that may last a year or more in many patients. It’s also why more and more cosmetic surgeons, estheticians, and other medical professionals are choosing RADIESSE® wrinkle filler for long-lasting facial rejuvenation.
The RADIESSE® wrinkle filler difference:
- Stimulates the body’s own natural collagen production
- Instantly corrects wrinkles
- Results that may last a year or more in many patients
- Now FDA approved to enhance patient comfort with lidocaine mixing
In just one syringe, many patients can achieve long-lasting youthful results. And now you can ask your doctor about the RADIESSE® treatment option that significantly improves comfort. Because treatment with RADIESSE® wrinkle filler is simple, quick, comfortable and convenient, with immediately visible results that last, more and more people are discovering that it is the natural choice for maintaining a more youthful appearance.
To discover what Radiesse® Wrinkle Filler can do for you, call Medi-Spa at 342-5823 to schedule a complimentary consultation appointment today!

If your healthy diet usually loses steam during the holidays, there is one thing you can keep in shape despite the pumpkin pie and egg nog; your eyebrows. With the right technique, perfectly-coiffed eyebrows will create a lifting effect making your eyes appear bright and younger.
If shaping doesn’t provide enough lift try a simple injection of Botox. This is referred to as a Botox brow lift which gives the appearance of wider eyes and more space below the brows. Contact Medi-Spa at Knoxville Dermatology Group for more information.
Eye Brow Wax: $15
Botox Brow Lift: $100-$150

Wake up your skin with Revaléskin, the first and only anti-aging organiceutical formulated with CoffeeBerry. This new anti-aging skin care line is the first and only to contain 1% CoffeeBerry, the fruit of the commonly known coffee plant, Coffea Arabica. The high-antioxidant capacity in CoffeeBerry helps to rejuvenate skin damaged by daily exposure to free radicals — molecules that cause the breakdown of collagen and contribute to overall skin aging. CoffeeBerry protects the skin against everyday damage, such as sun and wind. Also, CoffeeBerry helps to reverse the signs of aging.
A recent issue of Prevention magazine describes CoffeeBerry as the new skin care star that promises a younger complexion. In two separate clinical studies, Revaléskin demonstrated visible anti-aging benefits in women with sun-induced aging. The same studies showed that women saw a noticeable difference in their skin as early as 11 days with daily use of Revaléskin.
