Radiesse

“Radiesse stimulates collagen production and thickens the dermis of the skin that has been damaged and thinned by aging and sun exposure. Radiesse is an excellent choice for patients who have lipoatrophy from weight loss, illness or from genetic predisposition. Radiesse is a firmer product than HA fillers and gives more correction per syringe. It is an excellent option for aging hands.”
- Dr. Lupo
There are some benefits to be gained from a good home skin care regimen that includes moisturizers, serums, and creams. The daily application of such products can keep skin looking better by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and minimizing discoloration. There are limitations to topical products, however. They cannot replenish volume that is lost with time. With age comes a decrease in the production of collagen and the subsequent loss of facial volume and elasticity, the effects of which may make you look older than you feel on the inside.

In order to successfully reduce the appearance of wrinkles, it is necessary to replenish what has been lost in terms of volume. The Radiesse Volumizing Filler provides the lift needed to reduce the common signs of aging that result from volume loss. This addition of volume is achieved with tiny calcium microspheres that comprise the Radiesse filler.

Dr. Mary Lupo recommends Biodegradable FDA approved Dermal Fillers

Dr. Mary Lupo recommends Biodegradable FDA approved Dermal Fillers
Biodegradable FDA approved dermal fillers have various advantages. Unlike permanent fillers, you will not face situations where you are stuck with a result you don't like and it will help to keep a more natural appearance as you age. Dr. Mary Lupo of the Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology in New Orleans LA, explains in detail the fillers her patients most commonly use and the precise details she pays attention to when carrying out the procedure to ensure that all clients are satisfied at every stage.


What types of fillers do you use?

I use every FDA approved filler in my practice. Except for Bellafill which is a permanent filler.

The other fillers are all biodegradable, meaning that your body over time breaks it down so if you don't like the results and more importantly, as your face changes as you age you can accommodate the changes and keep a more natural look.

Why do you recommend biodegradable fillers?

Everyone is aware of how ridiculous and horrifying some of the long-term cosmetic results from silicon which is a permanent filler can cause. Distortion and over the course of a lifetime because of the facial changes it doesn't look natural anymore.

Therfore, I prefer the biodegradable fillers and I use the Juvederm family.

What are the most favorite fillers that you like to use?

I am a particular fan of Sculptra and Radiesse. And use them in some patients who have a very gaunt look because those are dermal stimulating devices.

These fillers aren’t just facial fillers they actually have been found to stimulate your body's production of your own new innate collagen. So I use the spectrum of fillers that are out there.

How do you use these fillers?

The analogy I would give you is it's like an artist picking different colors on the pallet of their paint is how I use fillers. For example, there are some fillers that I use more superficially that are thinner and I use them because they are less likely to cause any lumping/bumping because of their lower viscosity and their tendency to collect with each other or be cohesive or lumping.

Then I’ll use other fillers deeper. Voluma is a good example of a filler if anybody needs to be injected deeper. Typically, Sculptra and Radiesse are injected a little bit deeper. Whereas Volbella, Refine and Beletero and the thinner form of Juvéderm called Juvéderm Ultra as opposed to Ultra plus these are used more superficially.

Can any dermatology treat a patient?

The board-certified doctor has the experience and the knowledge of the science behind the filler so that they can choose the appropriate filler for the patient's age, skin thickness, the depth of the line, are you treating a line or a fold or are you recontouring.

So all of those are the things that help me to decide which filler I'm going to use in a patient. And most patients I must say are very young and need a combination of fillers, a deeper one and a more superficial one.

The uniqueness of Radiesse lies in what this filler accomplishes beneath the skin. Upon injection, the calcium microspheres rebuild the structural support needed for healthy facial contours. At the same time, the product stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen for continued improvement. Over the course of several months, Radiesse continues to work within the skin, maximizing the results accomplished from just one treatment. The results that Dr. Lupo achieves in many of her patients last a year or more.

Radiesse in administered with a very fine needle and gentle technique directly into wrinkles and folds on the face for a lifted, more defined appearance. For enhancement in the chin, cheeks, and nose, Radiesse is the ideal non-surgical treatment. This filler is also sometimes used to minimize the appearance of certain types of scarring, and to plump areas on the back of the hands to diminish the appearance of tendons and veins.

Unlike some other dermal fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved. The characteristics of this filler are optimal in many situations, but not all. For instance, Radiesse should not be used to augment the lips or fill small lines around the mouth. This means that application is vital to the desired outcome. The experience of the injector is important. Dr. Mary Lupo has served as an educator for dermal filler technique for many years. She understands the proper depth for injections, and helps her patients experience beautiful, natural results.

Chin up with Injectable chin implants with Radiesse

Chin up with Injectable chin implants with Radiesse by Dr. Mary Lupo
Worried about the appearance of your chin? Get that soft, beautiful and angular chin with injectable fillers such as Radiesse. Dr. Lupo walks us through procedure of receiving a filler in your chin.


And you definitely want to get that tip of the chin because with a female you definitely want, you don’t want to square off the chin. You want it to be very angular. And we are going to go back to the other side. So I’ll send both videos and they’ll put them together. And again, final pass. Now you can choose any one of a number of fillers to do this particular procedure. You can use Radiesse which is what I am using now. You can use (not clear). You can use Voluma. And you can also use Juvederm Ultraplus, if you want to have a softer augmentation, the fillers go around. Now you see we have that improved contour. Now we are going to go and we are going to do our neuromodulator. Now, as far as neuromodulator goes, in these areas, I really do like precision. What I mean by precision is I don’t want to have a lot of migration of product. So, in my practice, I typically either use Botox or Jeuveau or Xeomin in this area. Now give me your banding grimace please. We just want to give her a little injection along that band. I usually do it about every centimeter or so and then very important for her. Give me another little grimace. A little bit over here and a little bit right here. But the most important thing is to give that mentalis for her. So we are going to do two sticks and for good measure I always put a little near that submandibular salivary gland because I think it shrinks it a little bit and that is finished.

Hype around Chin Augmentation

Hype around Chin Augmentation by Dr. Mary Lupo
Dr. Lupo breaks down the hype about chin augmentation and talks about her chin augmentation experience over the last one and half decades.


So there’s a lot of talk on Instagram these days about chin augmentation and that’s because two new products have been recently FDA approved. All FDA approval means that the companies that make the products can advertise it to the consumer. But we in dermatology and plastic surgery have been doing chin augmentation for many many years. I myself have been doing chin injections for projection and shaping since 2007. And believe me if it’s done right all you need is a syringe. So just swipe to see some of my results.

Radiesse –
Mary P. Lupo, M.D
Lupo Center for Aesthetic and General Dermatology.

One of the fillers we use in our practice is Radiesse. Radiesse is an FDA approved filler made of calcium hydroxyl appetide. In my practice I primarily like Radiesse to define the jaw line and to improve deep marionette lines. I find that Radiesse is particularly good in men and people with thicker and more sebaceous skin. We also use it in acne scars. We also use Radiesse in the hands so that the veins and tendon are not as noticeable. So Radiesse is one of the options we use. We always individualize every patient’s treatment and try to pick the right filler for the right indication.
