Radiesse

Radiesse is a very popular wrinkle filler with a unique composition. Made of smooth, tiny calcium microspheres in a water-based gel, Radiesse creates a sort of scaffolding to enhance your skin structure. The composition of Radiesse is safe and biocompatible, so no allergy test is required.

Radiesse: Where can it be used?

Radiesse is useful for many treatment applications that involve facial contouring. Volume loss in the skin leads to contour depressions and a gaunt appearance. With Radiesse, we're basically restoring that volume to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and conditions such as the following:

• Nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Depressed scars
• Nasal contouring
• Sunken cheeks

Radiesse treatment: What’s involved?

Radiesse is injected into the subdermal plane of your skin using a fine needle. To reduce discomfort, an ice pack, nerve block or topical anesthetic can be used. Once the injection is complete, the treatment area is gently massaged for a few seconds to ensure smooth results.

After Radiesse Treatment: What to expect

Results of Radiesse can last 12 months. The longevity of your results may depend on what area gets treated. No downtime is necessary after Radiesse treatment, so you can return to your normal routine right away. Possible side effects include minor bruising, redness, swelling and itching.
