Hello.

I am Chief Director Kim Ga-eul.

Today, we will learn about Radius.

First of all, Radius is

a product from MERZ.

[MERZ-Ultherapy company.]

1. What is Radius?

Radius is a product that has been approved by the FDA in the United States for quite a long time.

It is a volume restoration material approved in 2006.

In the past, it was used for the volume of the nose and chin.

CaHA (Calcium Hydroxylapatite)

is a calcium-based precipitate that resembles a substance found in our cartilage.

When you see the product, it appears white.

The aforementioned substance

stimulates the synthesis of new collagen in our bodies,

and when injected deeply at a high concentration,

it will create clusters of collagen in one area.

> If used on the nose, it will make the nose higher, right?

Should I use a filler or Radius?

Radius provides elasticity (and a bit of volume)

Hyaluronic acid fills in the volume.

2. So where can it be used??

The role of Radius

is primarily about elasticity and volume.

1) Chin and Nose - without dilution or diluted at a 1:1 ratio

This is a method for volume!!!

A method used without dilution or with minimal dilution on the chin or nose… this is number one.

If too much dilution is used, and collagen is created over the wrinkle lines,

the wrinkles will disappear, and the skin will gain elasticity.

The procedure can be done by injection or using a cannula.

In the above photo, you can see significant improvement in the nasolabial folds after 8 weeks of procedure.

2) Back of hands, around the mouth (Effect of collagen) - 1:2 dilution is recommended.

This is number two for improving fine wrinkles and skin texture.

It's about elasticity

It can be used on the back of the hands, and also for neck wrinkles

When used on the back of the hands, it helps to make the blood vessels less visible, and provides elasticity,

while it is used to enhance elasticity for neck wrinkles.

​

3. What are the side effects?

​

First, we need to understand the ingredients in more detail.

The main ingredient is CaHA (hydroxylapatite).

It is a component that also exists in our bones and teeth,

is stable in body reactions, and

is relatively safe.

​

​

So what are the side effects?

It’s mainly nodules.

​

​

The most common reason for nodules to occur is as follows.

​

When Radius is concentrated in one area,.

(There are various reasons including procedural techniques, hydration, etc.)

Summary of Today's Key Points

1. Promotes collagen and elastin production

→ Strengthens skin elasticity

​ 2. Overall improvement in moisture, skin texture, and tone

​ 3. Low but existing possibility of nodules

• ​Control of dilution concentration, even injection,

• The hydration process must be safe.
