Letter from Dr. Green

Dear Friend, We've got some exciting news!!

I'm excited to announce that Radiesse has joined our team of cutting edge aesthetics as an option for filling deeper facial lines, like the smile lines from the side of your nose to the corner of your mouth.

I've listened to your most common complaints and examined all of the dermal fillers on the market. I chose Radiesse for several reasons. For one thing, its very easy to use technically. It comes in hygienic, pre-packaged syringes and flows easily. But, more importantly, it lasts longer than most of the other dermal fillers on the market. The tracking has shown that it will last at least six months, and recent studies reveal that you can see the effects for more than a year!

This is great news for YOU.

The reason it lasts so long is that it is made of a different, naturally occurring substance than other facial injectables. Some fillers use collagen, which requires a skin test to make sure there is no allergy or other skin reaction. It can be tedious to get a skin test and have to wait four weeks before you can get the treatment.

There are also dermal fillers made of hyaluronic acid (HA)that do not require a skin test . This substance is naturally occurring in your skin , but some sources actually come from rooster combs. "HA" is very safe and effective. Unfortunately it lasts only 3-6 months because it works by attracting water from your skin to the area where it 's injected. When your body reabsorbs this material, the water redistributes and the effect goes away.

The reason Radiesse lasts longer is because it works differently.

Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite. That's a long word, but it is simply a form of calcium found in your body, mostly in bones. It has been used for decades to help people with things like vocal chord paralysis, or urinary incontinence. It was injected into those delicate places to fill the tissue and allow normal function.

More recently it has been studied as facial filler. As opposed to attracting water to the area where it is injected, Radiesse acts as a "scaffold" and stimulates your body to grow more collagen in the area. Over time the calcium and the new collagen take longer to degrade than the hyaluronic acid. It is this reason that people get over a year of results from just one injection!

Although Radiesse has been used as a facial filler for a long time, it recently got FDA approval to be used this way. Prior to the FDA approval, facial lines were considered an "off label" use of a product safely used in other areas. I chose to wait for the official FDA safety approval for facial use, and I'm glad I did.

We've already seen the impressive results on patients. Its visible immediately, and it's so safe my own mother had it done! I, obviously, take good care of my Mom, but she doesn't partake of every treatment I offer. After she read the description and saw before/after pictures, she definitely wanted it. Her comment afterward: "Wow!" And I agree.

To celebrate this new member of the LightCare team, we're offering a special for the first 10 people who sign up to look younger with this great new filler .

The standard pricing for Radiesse is from $750-$1000 per syringe for a treatment. Most people need one syringe, depending on how deep the lines are.

To introduce this exciting newly approved cosmetic innovation to our patients and their network of family and friends, the first 10 people who sign up for the Radiesse filler will get each syringe for $600. This saves a minimum of $150. Plus you get up to a year of looking younger!

There's just no arguing with the nearly instant dramatic results.

So, call Kristina and make your appointment today to be one of the 10 lucky people to get the discount!

Sincerely,
Dr. Green
