[Doctor's Column] Radius, Why Is Elasticity the “Final Stage”?

1. Skin does not improve all at once. Skin is not structured to improve instantly, but rather to improve in stages. You must first establish a foundation for skin texture, hydration, and a regenerative environment, and then build elasticity on top of that to achieve natural and long-lasting results. 2. The foundation comes first, the structure comes next. Many people desire improved skin, but often miss the proper sequence. While you may feel temporary changes through skin regeneration or hydration alone, a separate step is required to improve elasticity as well. In other words, the stage of building the foundation and the stage of establishing the structure are distinct. 3. Radiesse is a procedure that creates an "elasticity structure." Radiesse induces collagen formation deep within the skin to build elasticity within the skin's structure itself, rather than simply filling in the surface. Therefore, it is characterized by a natural increase in elasticity over time, rather than just a simple volume improvement. 4. Why should it be performed as the final step? If you proceed with an elasticity treatment first when your skin is not prepared, you may not achieve the expected results or the effects may be short-lived. Conversely, if you perform the treatment after the skin's foundation has been prepared, you can expect more stable and natural results. 5. “Sequence” Creates Results Skin improvement should be approached as a flow, not a single procedure. ✔ Foundation (Regeneration / Hydration) ✔ Structure (Improving Skin Environment) ✔ Elasticity (Radiesse) When this sequence is aligned, more natural and long-lasting results can be achieved. “Skin improves step by step, and elasticity is perfected in the final stage.” 6. Radiesse is a “Step,” Not a Choice If you desire improved elasticity, it is important to understand Radiesse not merely as an option, but as a necessary step in the skin improvement process. Performing it at the appropriate time, depending on your current skin condition and goals, can determine the overall outcome.
