Radiesse
Botox and Dermal Fillers Specialist located in Bonita Springs, FL
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a dermal filler made of smooth calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres contained in a gel base of sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Used to restore both facial and hand volume, Radiesse can also be used to add definition in facial contouring applications.
Patients see immediate results with Radiesse while enjoying the benefits of a gradual increase in their natural collagen levels over time.
What results can I expect with Radiesse?
Radiesse is unique because it both provides immediate volume and stimulates the production of your own natural collagen for long-lasting results. Here’s what you can typically expect:
• Immediate Volume: Right after injection, Radiesse provides immediate volume and correction due to the calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in the gel carrier.
• Stimulates Collagen Production: Over time, Radiesse stimulates your body to produce its own natural collagen. Collagen is a protein that adds strength and structure to the skin.
• Natural Look and Feel: Once injected, Radiesse tends to provide results that are both natural-looking and feeling.
• Duration: Radiesse results can last a year or more in many patients. This is due to the combined effect of the immediate volumization and the longer-term collagen stimulation. However, the exact duration will depend on the treatment area, the amount of product used, and individual factors like skin type, age, and lifestyle.
• Treatment Areas: Radiesse is FDA-approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds. It’s also approved for hand augmentation to correct volume loss in the dorsum of the hands.
• Biocompatible: Radiesse is biocompatible, which means it’s safe to use without the risk of allergic reaction. It’s also non-toxic and non-allergenic. Over time, the body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres, leaving behind only your natural collagen.
Can you combine the different injectables?
Many patients at The Rolling Stone MedSpa have two or more types of injectable treatments during a single visit.
For example, Botox or Xeomin can be administered to correct the forehead expression lines, Radiesse to fill in the nasolabial folds to add desired lip volume.
Well-placed Radiesse injections can give your facial features more symmetry while improving minor contour irregularities. Multiple factors determine the longevity of the results, but one can expect at least six months or longer. Plus, you can get maintenance injections if you’re happy with the effect.
