Radiesse For Depleted Collagen

Imagine young-looking, wrinkle-free skin. For patients with well-defined wrinkles or creases, such as the fold between their nose and mouth, most cosmetic surgeons surveyed agree that injectable fillers may be the best treatment available to date. 

Now Dr. Jerry Cooper performs RADIESSE™ injections for to provide a safe, long-lasting, treatment for deep skin folds or loss of volume in the face.

What is RADIESSE?

RADIESSE is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue augmentation. Over the last several years, RADIESSE has proven to be a safe and effective alternative for those patients wishing to avoid the potential side effects of bovine and solid implant materials. 

RADIESSE consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible carboxymethylcellulose gel. It is long lasting and does not require a skin test because it is the same mineral component found in our bones and teeth.

By supplementing your skin's own depleted collagen with RADIESSE, we can smooth out wrinkles and most scars. We can also improve the appearance of deeper frown lines and nasal furrows. RADIESSE is a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results.

This treatment is performed for patients throughout metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Emory, Lilburn and Tucker.

Photo Facial Rejuvenation

Do you think that the reflection you see in the mirror each morning matches the way you feel? Many patients wish that there was a safe, easy and quick way to get rid of their red complexion, fine wrinkles, irregular pigmentation and large pores. Fortunately, our advanced technologies enable us to treat these skin imperfections safely, easily and effectively.

IPL Photo Facial™ Rejuvenation

Dr. Jerry Cooper performs IPL Rejuvenation for patients throughout metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs, Decatur, Emory, Lilburn and Tucker, to combat the effects of aging and damaged skin in a softer, gentler way. The redness and flushing of rosacea can be reduced 80 - 90 percent. It can be used to treat the full face, neck, chest and even the hands.

Using the advanced IPL system, your doctor gently delivers precise amounts of light energy through your skin's surface. Treatments are spaced at 3 week intervals. The energy is delivered at specific settings for each treatment to maximize your results.
The light energy stimulates the production of collagen. As the new collagen forms, it softens the appearance of aging skin. Fine lines and wrinkles are decreased. The redness associated with rosacea can be dramatically reduced. Brown spots are reduced or eradicated.
