Radiesse Biostimulatory Filler

  • Radiesse is the first and only FDA-approved CaHA portfolio that provides immediate contouring plus stimulation of collagen and elastin production.

  • CaHA particles then integrate into your skin and create a “scaffold” that stimulates production of collagen and elastin. Formed collagen and elastin replaces the correction provided by the gel carrier, smoothing lines and promoting renewed skin structure.

  • Like most dermal fillers, Radiesse® obtains instant results. As soon as you leave our practice, you will observe an immediate improvement in your skin’s texture and appearance. Over the hours, you will start noticing how your wrinkles and fine lines are being smoothed away. However, although these initial results are undoubtedly pleasing, patients must remember they are only a glimpse of their final results.

FAQs

  • During your consultation, your injection specialist and skincare expert will address your skin concerns, discuss your goals and then recommend whether Radiesse is the best dermal filler for you, based on your unique needs.

  • The exact time depends on the area being treated, but generally Radiesse injections takes half an hour to an hour to complete.

  • Radiesse injections are very tolerable. The injections cause very mild, very temporary discomfort, and feel similar to a slight pinching sensation and some pressure. A topical numbing agent can be applied prior to injections, to ease any discomfort; However, most find the injections extremely tolerable without any numbing agents. Ice is applied to the treated area to aid swelling and ease discomfort.

  • The results from Radiesse are immediate; However, swelling is apparent after Radiesse injections, and it can generally take up to two weeks for any swelling or possible bruising to subside. After a few weeks Radiesse will have settled, and continual improvement can be seen due to increased collagen production after treatment.

    The duration for Radiesse can last anywhere from 18-24 months; However, some patients may metabolize Radiesse quicker than others.

  • There is no downtime required after being treated with Radiesse, and you are not required to schedule any time off of work. You can go straight back to work can resume normal activities immediately; However, exercise is not recommended for 24-hours after injections. Mild swelling, red bumps or bruising may appear after injections; However, any redness tends to dissipate shortly after treatment and makeup can be gently applied.
