What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler primarily composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a mineral found naturally in the human body. This unique formula allows it to provide both immediate and long-lasting volume enhancement to the treated areas.
How Does Radiesse Work?
When injected beneath the skin, Radiesse interacts with the body’s own collagen production process. CaHA microspheres within the filler stimulate collagen growth, gradually replacing the injected solution with the body’s natural regenerative tissue. This not only provides volume but also improves skin elasticity and texture over time.
Procedure for Radiesse
Administering Radiesse involves a straightforward procedure typically performed by a trained healthcare professional. After cleansing and numbing the treatment area, the provider skillfully injects the filler using a fine needle. The entire process takes approximately 15-30 minutes.
Targeted Areas for Radiesse
Radiesse is primarily used to address facial volume loss and contouring. It effectively volumizes and lifts the cheeks, jawline, and chin. Additionally, it can be used to smooth out wrinkles and lines around the mouth and nose, enhance the appearance of thin lips, and correct facial asymmetries.
What to Expect After Radiesse?
Immediately after the treatment, you may experience some swelling and redness at the injection sites. These typically subside within a few days. The full results of Radiesse gradually develop over several weeks as your body produces new collagen.
In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, such as:
- Infection
- Allergic reaction
- Skin discoloration
- Granuloma formation
How Long Does Each Procedure Take?
Radiesse treatments are relatively quick and convenient. A typical session takes approximately 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated and the amount of filler used.
Conclusion
Radiesse provides long-lasting volume enhancement and collagen stimulation.
Ultimately, the best choice depends on your individual needs, goals, and preferences. To determine which filler is right for you, it’s advisable to consult a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your skin and discuss your desired outcomes.
