Radiesse

Radiesse is a leading dermal filler used in cosmetic procedures to restore volume and minimize wrinkles and folds. Comprising calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel-like substance. Radiesse is injected beneath the skin's surface to add immediate volume, smoothen wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production for long-lasting results. Commonly utilized to treat smile lines, marionette lines, and wrinkles around the mouth.
 

  1. Composition: Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which are suspended in a gel-like substance. Calcium hydroxylapatite is a biocompatible and non-allergenic substance.

  2. Immediate Results: Radiesse provides immediate volume to the treated area, instantly filling in wrinkles and folds. This can result in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance immediately after the injection.

  3. Collagen Stimulation: The calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in Radiesse stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen helps improve skin elasticity and firmness, leading to long-term benefits even after the filler has been naturally metabolized by the body.

  4. Customizable Treatment: Radiesse injections can be customized to address specific concerns and achieve natural-looking results. The amount of filler used and the injection technique can be tailored to the individual's needs and desired outcome.

  5. Durability: Radiesse is known for its durability compared to some other dermal fillers. The results typically last around 12 to 18 months, although individual experiences may vary. Touch-up treatments may be needed to maintain the desired outcome.

  6. Safety: Radiesse has undergone extensive testing and clinical studies to ensure its safety and effectiveness. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. It's important to have the treatment performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional to minimize the risks.

  7. Recovery and Side Effects: The recovery period after Radiesse injections is usually minimal. Some temporary side effects may occur, including redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are generally mild and resolve on their own within a few days.
     

Aftercare Recommendations
 

  1. Avoid Touching: Refrain from touching or rubbing the treated area for at least 6 hours post-treatment to minimize the risk of infection.

  2. Cold Compress: Apply a cold compress wrapped in a cloth to the treated area intermittently for the first 24 hours to reduce swelling and bruising.

  3. Limit Facial Movements: Avoid excessive facial expressions, especially in the treated areas, for the first 24 hours after the procedure.

  4. Stay Upright: Maintain an upright position for the first few hours after treatment. Avoid lying down or bending over excessively.

  5. Avoid Strenuous Activities: Refrain from vigorous exercise, sauna, and hot baths for 24-48 hours to prevent increased blood flow to the face, which might lead to bruising.

  6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated, promoting a healthy recovery process.

  7. Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from direct sunlight and heat for at least 1-2 weeks. If you need to go out, wear a wide-brimmed hat and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen.

  8. Gentle Cleansing: Clean your face gently with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh cleansers or exfoliants for the first few days.

  9. Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners: Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications for a few days post-treatment to minimize the risk of bruising.

  10. Follow Up: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to assess the results and ensure proper healing.

​

It's essential to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or cosmetic specialist to determine if Radiesse is suitable for your specific needs and to discuss potential risks and benefits. They will assess your individual situation and provide personalized recommendations to achieve the desired outcome.

The thicker the HA filler used, the longer it may last in these areas. Individual variations can also influence the duration of results.
