What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is a dermal filler designed to address volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging skin, primarily in the face. It is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This gel is injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production. The unique formula of Radiesse® helps to provide an immediate lift to the treated area while encouraging long-term improvement as the body produces more collagen over time.
Unlike some other dermal fillers, Radiesse® not only works as a filler to smooth out wrinkles but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. This helps to create a more youthful, natural-looking appearance that continues to improve with time.
Benefits of Radiesse® Treatment
Radiesse® offers a wide range of benefits for individuals seeking to restore volume, reduce wrinkles, and enhance their facial features:
Immediate Results: Radiesse® provides instant volume restoration and wrinkle smoothing, giving you immediate results after just one treatment.
Long-Lasting Effects: Unlike some fillers that last for a few months, Radiesse® can provide results that last up to a year or more, depending on the treatment area.
Stimulates Collagen Production: Radiesse® helps to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, which helps maintain the results long after the filler has been absorbed by the body.
Non-Surgical Solution: Radiesse® is a non-invasive treatment, meaning no incisions or downtime are required, making it ideal for those who want a quick and effective solution to restore their youthful appearance.
Minimal Discomfort: The treatment process is relatively comfortable. A topical numbing cream or local anesthesia is often applied to minimize discomfort, and most patients experience little to no pain during the procedure.
Safe and Effective: Radiesse® is FDA-approved and has a well-established safety profile. When performed by skilled professionals, the treatment is both safe and effective for most patients.
Natural-Looking Results: The results of Radiesse® are subtle and natural, with no “overfilled” or artificial appearance. The treatment enhances your natural features, providing a rejuvenated look that doesn’t appear exaggerated.
How Radiesse® Works
Radiesse® works in two distinct phases to deliver exceptional results. Here’s how the process unfolds:
Step 1: Immediate Volume Restoration Once injected, the gel-based formula of Radiesse® provides an immediate volumizing effect. This helps to lift and smooth the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, folds, and other signs of aging.
Step 2: Collagen Stimulation In addition to providing immediate results, Radiesse® continues to work beneath the surface of the skin. Over time, the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres stimulate the production of collagen, the protein responsible for skin’s strength and elasticity. This collagen production helps to further smooth wrinkles and restore a youthful, plump appearance in the treated areas.
As your body produces new collagen, the results of Radiesse® become even more pronounced. The effects typically last for up to 12-18 months, depending on the individual and the treatment area. Additionally, the collagen stimulation continues even after the gel has been absorbed by the body, giving long-term results.
Treatment Areas for Radiesse®
Radiesse® can be used to address a variety of concerns on the face, including:
Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines): The lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth can become deep and prominent over time. Radiesse® helps to fill in these lines and restore a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Marionette Lines: These lines, which run from the corners of the mouth downward to the chin, can give a sad or tired appearance. Radiesse® can lift and smooth these lines, giving the face a more refreshed look.
Cheeks: As we age, we often lose volume in the cheeks, which can lead to a hollowed or sunken appearance. Radiesse® can restore volume to the cheeks, providing a youthful, lifted look.
Chin: Radiesse® can also be used to improve the definition of the chin and jawline, giving a more sculpted and contoured appearance.
Jawline: If you’re looking for a more defined jawline or want to improve the overall contour of your face, Radiesse® can be used to restore volume and improve the symmetry of your lower face.
Hands: Radiesse® can even be used to treat volume loss in the hands, a common sign of aging. By restoring volume, it can give your hands a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
The Radiesse® Treatment Process
The Radiesse® treatment process is straightforward, fast, and minimally invasive. Here’s what to expect during your appointment:
Step 1: Consultation Before your treatment, you’ll have a consultation with Dr. Amir Raeesy to discuss your aesthetic goals and determine if Radiesse® is right for you. We’ll carefully evaluate your skin, facial structure, and areas of concern to ensure that Radiesse® will deliver the best possible results.
Step 2: Treatment Preparation On the day of your treatment, your skin will be cleaned and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure comfort. Some patients may also receive a local anesthetic to further minimize any discomfort.
Step 3: Injection of Radiesse® Radiesse® will be carefully injected into the targeted areas of the face using a fine needle. The injections are typically quick, and the entire procedure usually takes less than an hour.
Step 4: Post-Treatment Care After the procedure, there is minimal downtime. Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately, though some redness or swelling at the injection site may occur, which should resolve within a day or two. Dr. Raeesy will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
