RADIESSE®
There are a lot of dermal fillers on the market. Most fill just one role: to replace volume loss in your skin, reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles. When it comes to RADIESSE, it’s a little different. This filler stimulates collagen production, lifting your skin and replacing lost volume. Depending on the way your Provider prepares and injects this filler, RADIESSE can also play a skin-tightening role and become an extremely versatile anti-aging treatment.
What is RADIESSE?
RADIESSE works differently than hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. That’s because RADIESSE is made up of a complex gel solution that does its job in two steps. At first, the solution fills in spots of volume loss. This makes your skin appear smooth and lifted. It can also help sculpt facial features.
But it doesn’t stop there. Over time, your body absorbs the active ingredients in RADIESSE. And once you metabolize these “microspheres,” your body produces its own, new collagen. This fills in the space left behind by the absorbed filler. Because RADIESSE helps your body make new collagen, you can expect results that last up to 18 months. It’s a facial rejuvenation and a volumizing filler, all in one.
Where can I inject RADIESSE?
RADIESSE is an FDA-approved dermal filler for your hands and most areas of your face. You can’t use RADIESSE on your eyelids, your lips, or under your eyes.
RADIESSE as a volumizing filler can be used on various areas of the face and body. In addition to correcting scars that leave depressions, it is effective in improving the look of the following:
- Nasolabial folds (run from corners of nose to corners of mouth)
- Marionette lines (run downward from corners of mouth)
- Downturned corners of the mouth
- Jowl pre-sagging
- Chin wrinkles
Also, something really exciting about RADIESSE: it can be hyper-diluted. When your Provider makes this change, its main job becomes skin rejuvenation. And you can apply hyper-diluted RADIESSE to even more areas of your body.
What is hyper-diluted RADIESSE?
RADIESSE can be used as a dermal filler, but this injectable, in a modified form, is also a powerful skin rejuvenator.
Your Provider mixes saline and lidocaine with RADIESSE to create a hyper-diluted product. The result is a thinner product that you can inject beneath your skin as an anti-aging treatment.
And that’s not all. Hyper-diluted RADIESSE effectively targets areas of moderate to severe cellulite. When you inject diluted RADIESSE to these dimpled skin areas, its plumping effect is immediate, so cellulite is much less pronounced.
As a hyper-diluted solution, RADIESSE can treat more areas of your body, including:
- Mid and lower face
- Neck
- Décolletage
- Hands
- Upper inner arms
- Abdomen
- Buttocks, including cellulite
- Knees
What Results Can I Expect from Radiesse®?
The results from Radiesse® will be visible immediately upon injection, as the Radiesse® formula instantly restores volume to the skin to rejuvenate the appearance. These results will become more noticeable as any side effects fade. In the months following treatment, the Radiesse® formula will interact with the body to stimulate natural collagen production, allowing collagen to gradually replace the Radiesse® formula. Thanks to this benefit, you can expect the results from your Radiesse® treatment to last up to two years or longer.
Am I a Good Candidate for Radiesse® ?
If you're looking for a minimally invasive treatment to boost collagen production, restore volume, and rejuvenate your appearance, Radiesse® may be right for you. The best way to find out if Radiesse® is right for you is to schedule a one-on-one consultation with one of our medical professionals. During your complimentary private consultation, we will be happy to listen to your concerns and develop a fully personalized treatment plan to help you reach all of your aesthetic goals.
Allergy testing is not necessary before treatment because the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in RADIESSE filler are similar to minerals that occur naturally in the body.
