Has it started to feel like your face lacks the definition or fullness it once had? Are you concerned your appearance does not accurately reflect how young you feel? Does it feel like your only option to combat aging is a procedure, but a surgical procedure does not feel like the right fit for you and your lifestyle? Consider trying dermal fillers, such as Radiesse! This injectable treatment reduces the appearance of pesky lines and wrinkles and provides subtle increases in volume. Discover the benefits during a consultation with our team at Biotech Cosmetic Surgery & Laser Center in Bay Harbor Islands, FL!
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler. Unlike many other injectables, it is a gel with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The CaHA microspheres are absorbed by your body and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. Collagen provides your skin with structure, but production naturally declines over time.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse injections act as a dermal filler to immediately add volume and as a biostimulator to promote long-term collagen growth. This unique composition allows for instant improvement in volume and a gradual enhancement in skin quality as the microspheres encourage natural collagen synthesis. This unique combination not only enhances initial cosmetic results but also promotes healthier, more resilient skin over time.
What Can Radiesse Treat?
- Chin Wrinkles: Radiesse treatments effectively reduce the appearance of chin wrinkles by restoring volume and promoting collagen production in the area. This treatment smooths the lower facial contours for a more youthful and refreshed look.
- Marionette Lines: As a biostimulator, Radiesse aids in the biological rejuvenation of the skin, diminishing the depth of marionette lines. The stimulation of collagen not only fills these lines but also improves skin texture and resilience.
- Pre-jowl Folds: Radiesse targets pre-jowl folds by replenishing lost volume around the jawline. This correction contours the lower face, providing a more defined and natural jawline as collagen levels are restored.
- Smile Lines: Radiesse injections are effective at smoothing out smile lines, offering dual benefits by instantly filling wrinkles and fostering long-term skin regeneration through natural collagen synthesis.
- Volume Loss: For areas experiencing volume loss, Radiesse filler serves as an ideal solution. It not only fills under-sculpted areas but also enhances the skin’s structural integrity by encouraging collagen production, which results in a fuller and more revitalized appearance.
Radiesse Before and After
Some Frequently Asked Questions About Radiesse
What Can I Expect From Radiesse Treatments?
Radiesse injections are administered in the comfort of our South Florida medspa. You may experience some minor pinching at the injection site, but there is generally minimal pain associated with a treatment session. You can ask us about topical anesthetic options if you want to minimize the pinch even more, but many patients do not need numbing cream.
Treatment sessions are typically relatively short, but the length of a session will depend on the number and severity of the concerns addressed. However, you should be able to return to your normal daily activities after treatment! Experiencing some minor swelling or bruising in the treatment area may occur, but this is expected to go away within a few days.
How Soon Will I See Results From Radiesse?
Results achieved with Radiesse will vary for each person and concern addressed. While you may experience an immediate increase in volume, the best results typically take some time to enjoy as your body produces new collagen. With Radiesse, results are immediate and long-term.
Am I a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
Most healthy adults interested in non-surgical treatment options may be able to benefit from Radiesse. However, this dermal filler may not be the best treatment choice for you if you are seeking an option that creates permanent results.
A consultation with our team in Bay Harbor Islands is your best option for determining if this injectable is right for you. As a series of treatments is typically necessary to achieve the best results, they can also help you develop a unique treatment plan for you and your goals.
How Long Does Radiesse Last?
With optimal treatment, results from Radiesse filler may last for up to a year. The longevity of the effects depends on factors such as the patient’s skin condition, the area treated, and lifestyle choices. You can promote even longer results by caring for your skin, avoiding smoking, and always wearing sunscreen. Regular follow-up treatments can help maintain the desired aesthetic outcome over time.
Radiesse vs. Sculptra: What Is the Difference?
While both are effective injectables, they differ significantly in composition and function. While Radiesse is primarily made of calcium hydroxylapatite, Sculptra is composed of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which works more gradually to rebuild collagen, often requiring three treatments for full effects. We use both at our medical spa for different patients and situations.
