A transformative age-defying solution, Radiesse is a unique dermal filler that not only smooths moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. Expertly designed to restore facial volume and refine contours, Radiesse offers immediate results and a youthful, revitalized appearance with lasting effects
Composition: Radiesse is primarily made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel carrier. CaHA is a substance that's naturally found in human bones, making it biocompatible and less likely to cause allergic reactions.
Function: When injected, Radiesse immediately provides volume and lift to the targeted areas, helping to smooth out wrinkles and folds. Over time, it also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production. This dual action – immediate filling and long-term collagen stimulation – helps maintain the volumizing effect even after the product has been metabolically broken down.
Longevity: The effects of Radiesse are temporary but long-lasting. Typically, the results can last for a year or more, depending on the individual's skin type, lifestyle, and age.
Application Areas: It's commonly used for facial contouring, particularly in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and nasolabial folds. It's also effective for hand rejuvenation, restoring lost volume in the back of the hands, making veins and tendons less prominent.
Procedure: The procedure is minimally invasive and can be performed in a doctor's office. It usually takes about 30 minutes. Local anesthesia can be used to minimize discomfort.
Recovery and Side Effects: There is minimal downtime, and most people can return to their normal activities shortly after the procedure. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site.
Ideal Candidates: It's best for individuals who wish to address moderate to severe facial wrinkles and volume loss without undergoing surgery. However, it's not recommended for people with certain allergies, bleeding disorders, or pregnant women.
Results: Patients typically see an immediate improvement in the treatment areas, with continued improvements as new collagen is produced.
