Knoxville Radiesse - Knoxville Fillers - Sculptra Knoxville - Knoxville Sculptra

Radiesse is a new filler to the Knoxville area that is longer lasting than hyaluronic acid and was recently approved by the FDA. It is used to fill in deep lines and wrinkles as well as to contour the jaw line and cheeks. It is not used in the lips.

Radiesse generally lasts about eighteen months to two years before naturally absorbing into the surrounding tissue. Radiesse is made of very tiny smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. These tiny particles form a scaffold. Once injected, the body's own collagen grows around the scaffold producing a correction that is longer lasting than other fillers.

An injectable consultation with Dr. Reath is a great place to start. It is free and very helpful to understand your options. Radiesse is a product that is better used to undercorrect, rather than overcorrect. Some of our best results have been using Radiesse in conjunction with hyaluronic acid fillers to get the best of both worlds.

Before and After Radiesse and Juvederm: This is a very active 60-year-old woman who told us she wanted to look as young as she feels. She was particularly interested in nonsurgical rejuvenation. Here is a great example of the dramatic improvements that can be made using injectable fillers. Our Nurse Injector used the semi-permanent filler Radiesse in her nasolabial folds and Juvederm Ultra Plus in her lips and mouth area.

Sculptra- is a semi-permanent filler (polylactic acid) that only recently received FDA approval for cosmetic use. Originally is was designed for correction of the signs of facial fat loss lipoatrophy) in people with human immunodeficiency virus although some Knoxville plastic surgeons have been using it cosmetically all along. At this point we have decided not to incorporate Sculptra into our practice. The peer reviews are mixed as Sculptra requires three to six treatments and has side effects not associated with other fillers.

Introducing Jill Maze, RN

Jill Maze is a welcome addition to our practice. Her patients attest to both her caring bedside manner and her skilled professionalism. Working under the direct supervision of Dr. Reath, Jill’s extensive training and gentle touch is a winning combination. She is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgical Nurses.

Since the FDA’s approval of Juvederm and other fillers, Jill has been focused on training with the southeast’s most renowned experts in Cosmetic Injectables in both Atlanta and Boca Raton, Florida. This year she traveled to Las Vegas to be in the first class in the country to attend the Advanced Injector Competence Training Course designed by the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. In addition, she received specialized instruction on techniques for using Botox® for areas other than the upper face. She is also trained and experienced with the recently FDA-approved semi-permanent filler Radiesse.

This area requires a unique blend of artistry and science as well as the need to stay current, so Jill will continue to travel the U.S. to observe the leaders in her field. When she is not traveling and taking care of patients Jill likes to spend time with her husband and two teen-aged daughters camping in the great outdoors.
