RADIESSE®

 

What is RADIESSE®?

Radiesse-LogoRADIESSE Volumizing filler is an injectable dermal filler that works by immediately restoring facial volume to smooth out the signs of aging. Once injected, RADIESSE® is a form of hyaluronic acid that has a unique manufacturing process that makes it a soft, cohesive gel that evenly distributes through the dermis of the skin.

Radiesse Before & After

What are the benefits of RADIESSE®?

RADIESSE® is a nonsurgical treatment that improves the look of moderate to severe wrinkles and deep folds of the face. By binding water, RADIESSE® plumps and fills in wrinkles, allowing immediate and smooth correction. Because of its versatility RADIESSE® is strong enough to handle deep treatment areas such as smile lines around the mouth (nasolabial folds) yet soft enough to treat less severe areas such as this lines at the lips (vertical lip lines).

What results are expected with RADIESSE®?

Immediate results with RADIESSE® mean plumper skin and smoothing away of lines and wrinkles. Due to its soft gel consistency, it provides soft correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

Radiesse Before & After

What can I expect during treatments with RADIESSE®?

RADIESSE® is injected so as with all needle injections, there can be some discomfort or pain associated with the procedure. Your provider may provide a numbing medicine prior to the injections or ice the target area. The injections start to work immediately. Visible results have been reported to last 6 or longer. Based on the US clinical trial, individual results lasted between 15 -73 weeks with a mean time of 9 months.

What aftercare is recommended following RADIESSE® treatment?

It is recommended that you remain upright for 4 hours after injection. You are asked to avoid taking ibuprofen, aspirin, or Vitamin E for 24 hours after injection. You are instructed not to massage or manipulate the injection sites for 48 hours after injection. In order to allow RADIESSE® to stabilize, you should avoid overly excessive movements of the muscles in your face for the first 6 hours after treatment. You should avoid excessive heat, strenuous exercise, yoga, and direct sunlight for the first 24-48 hours post-injection. You may wear make-up, take a shower, and use cold compresses as needed.
