Radiesse is a safe, FDA approved dermal filler that restores a natural, long lasting, youthful look. This convenient treatment can restore facial volume as well as correct smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.
Radiesse works with your body, below the skin’s surface. Tiny calcium-based microspheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. Over time, the calcium-based microspheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed into your body. Radiesse does more than fill in your wrinkles – it can restore facial volume for the youthful look you want.
The results are immediate. Radiesse may last a year or more in many patients. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with your doctor. Radiesse is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, convenient procedure. Radiesse treatments have little to no downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities soon after treatment. Normal, injection related reactions such as mild irritation, swelling, itching, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site can be expected.
Many patients will achieve their desired result after just one visit. Radiesse is a long term cosmetic enhancement, however it is not permanent. To ensure your satisfaction, your physician might schedule a follow up visit, where a touch-up treatment may be recommended.
