hi i'm dr johnny thanks for joining me
today we're talking
radius it's araji's quick clip in three
seconds
[Music]
so a lot of people know radius it was
fda approved as i recall around 2007 or
so
i started using it then a lot of people
have questions because a lot of people
still
use it but a lot of people don't know
exactly what it is and
where it should be used we'll go through
that today if you like the videos click
like
remember subscribe click the bell and
you'll be notified of the upcoming
videos
i really appreciate all of our
subscribers here
we've had a fun little run we're going
to continue the more likes
and the more subscribers we get the more
videos we can do
to keep your skin beautiful now radius
i remember of course wrestling was the
first hyaluronic acid it was dissolvable
dissolving wasn't common commonly known
or
done in 2003 for we're all worried about
hyaluronidase which we commonly use now
radius came along 2007 we used it
commonly
in the cheeks non-dissolvable calcium
hydroxyl
appetite she had to be a little more
careful with it because there was never
really that
option of dissolving fda approved for
the nasolabial folds at that time
and moderate to severe folds and i
recall hiv lipoatrophy as well
took a lot of syringes but it works well
for that
today we also use it in the hands
commonly most of the things we do
are off labels so what is it the
syringes typically comes
as a 1.5 you can get less amounts but
that's the most commonly used 1.5 cc
what's in it 70 carboxy methyl cellulose
which is a carrier
typically goes over one to three months
the biostimulator portion of it would be
the calcium
and the calcium hydroxyl appetite
it is metabolized naturally by the body
but before it does
it produces collagen by way of
fibroblast
activity it's removed by
macrophages and and and the such
the way the body gets rid of products
the key there is
the microsphere is the perfect size so
it doesn't form
granulomas very rare complication
it's a complication of all fillers and a
lot of people here ask me
what's the safest filler what should i
do which one doesn't have side effects
everything has side effects you can use
a cannula
you can use a needle use it in the fda
approved areas
there's a side effect that's why you
have a provider that's why you go
through risk benefits
and most importantly your aesthetic look
and how it applies
to you and your medical history
key components you cannot miss out so
that's what the syringe is how long does
it typically last the results
usually are a year like other products
one thing we know
from years ago when we didn't know a lot
about it we'd inject someone saying
the the marionette or the meal a mental
fold uh
or even a cheek and then they wouldn't
you might not come back for two or three
years
but they were better than they were
before they came and that was three
years later
did the product last that long not
necessarily
their aging rate was less than the
result
the collagen that was produced by the
result h8 fillers produce some collagen
likely by way of stretch biostimulators
you think of
this product radius sculptra
biostimulator
and even something like bellophill pmma
the permanent product five year to
permanent however you want to look at it
the spheres stay
those stimulate your body's own collagen
combining bio stimulators hyaluronic
acid filler
and of course pdo threads rf
microneedling
plasma goal plasma eyes all those things
can be done
and for me should be done because we're
addressing the whole face
uh as one and you need these tools in
your practice
radius a great product and it has a nice
longevity to it but that the one year
would be the accepted
rate let's talk about its special uses
because
one of the things that uh i guess
differentiates it from a lot of other
products
is that it's the number one g
prime filler what does that mean okay
power see the sharp sharp edge you can
create that
because it's calcium it's hard this is
metal i think
probably some type of plastic but it's
hard like that
it's a white paste but of course calcium
is hard it doesn't draw
water in what do you want for a jawline
sharp what might you want in the nose
sharp and you don't want it to migrate
okay and the biostimulatory effect
people like because
you get a longer term result through
that so it's a high
g prime biostimulator think of that
when you're using it the high cheek is a
really nice
area especially for a female
i know males like a high cheek too but
if you want that
crisp jawline that crisp
uh cheek bone that doesn't draw water in
that doesn't look boggy radius is a
great choice i use a large gauge cannula
22 is great
flows nicely larger gauge cannulas is
safer
where don't i use it personally everyone
has their art
it's not wrong if people want to use it
a lot of people
dilute it down use hyper dilute radius i
like that
i use a lot more sculptor than hyper
dilute radius but i think it's a great
product
it will have its place and it can be
used very well people love it
especially kind of practices that tend
to do more radius than other products
and that's people's art and science
combined again
but the under eye i don't use it in the
lips
i don't use it in the neck i'm very
careful
anything that creates a nodule in the
neck and anything can create a nodule
if you can't dissolve it you always have
to wonder what it is you won't know
is it a nodule from a biological process
that we need to investigate
or is it a nodule from calcium or
biostimulation
and it presents a conundrum now you're
not going to if you do
20 or 50 or 80 of these you may never
see that you're oblivious to it great
but if you're a clinic or if you've done
hundreds or even up to thousands when
you pool
data for many practitioners it just
takes one to create a problem and then
you're like oh boy i never thought of
that but it's a consideration when
treating the neck with anything
thin skin platysma is a strong muscle be
mindful
jaw lines cheeks hands pre-auricular
hyper-dilute it works great i'm a fan of
radius
what's your thought what's your favorite
product how do you like to use radius
stay tuned here keep your skin and body
beautiful healthy
and vibrant
