Before and after
What is Radiesse, and how does it work?
Radiesse is a dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. It works by providing immediate volume and lift to areas with wrinkles or volume loss. Over time, Radiesse also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, helping to create longer-lasting results.
Which areas of the face and body can Radiesse treat?
Radiesse is commonly used to treat areas like the cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. It can also be used to rejuvenate the hands and improve the appearance of aging skin on the neck and décolletage. It is known for providing structure and volume to deeper wrinkles and folds.
How long do the results of Radiesse last?
The results of Radiesse typically last 12 to 18 months, though this can vary depending on the treatment area, the amount used, and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle. Its collagen-stimulating effects may provide longer-term improvements in skin quality.
What should I expect during a Radiesse treatment session?
During the treatment, Radiesse is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure takes about 30-45 minutes. A topical anesthetic or lidocaine mixed with Radiesse may be used to minimize discomfort. Most patients experience only mild discomfort and can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with Radiesse?
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolve within a few days. Less common risks include lumps or asymmetry, which can usually be corrected with additional treatment. Rarely, more serious complications like infection or vascular occlusion can occur, especially if not performed by an experienced injector.
Who is a good candidate for Radiesse?
A good candidate for Radiesse is someone looking to restore volume and reduce wrinkles in areas like the mid-face, jawline, or hands. Candidates should be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and not be allergic to any components of the filler. Radiesse is not recommended for people with severe allergies, a history of anaphylaxis, or certain autoimmune conditions.
