Radiesse®

 

 

 

Radiesse® dermal filler is an FDA-approved, collagen stimulating dermal filler.  Healthy young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility, and strength.  Collagen is also what gives young skin its full, supple appearance.  As collagen breaks down over time, one may begin to see skin laxity and facial wrinkles.  When collagen goes away, it takes facial volume and elasticity with it, leaving you with a face that may look older than how you feel inside.  Radiesse® wrinkle filler can brink back your own natural collagen and restore facial volume, helping to smooth out the signs of aging.

 

Radiesse® is composed of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel.  After application of a topical numbing agent, it is injected into your skin through a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure.  Areas that are most commonly treated with Radiesse® include smile lines, marionette lines, oral commissures, pre-jowl, and nasolabial areas.  Once injected, the process of collagenesis starts as Radiesse® wrinkle filler works below your skin's surface to stimulate the production of your own collagen, which replenishes lost facial volume.  After injection, your medical provider will massage the area treated in order to ensure even correction.

 

Common potential side effects may include mild to moderate stinging or aching at the treated area(s) immediately post injection, redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the treatment site for a few days.  Your medical provider will discuss any post treatment guidelines at your appointment.

 

When you make the choice to restore facial volume and rejuvenate your appearance, choose beautiful and natural results that last.  Radiesse® wrinkle filler delivers immediate, natural-looking volume and stimulates your body to produce new collagen for a youthful appearance that is long-lasting.  In many patients, Radiesse® results may last 12-18 months, without costly and time-consuming touchups.
