How Radiesse® + works

Looking for a treatment to smooth wrinkles, restore volume and boost skin glow? Radiesse + is a cosmetic injectable treatment that could be an option for you.

What is Radiesse®+?

Radiesse + is a cosmetic injectable and a dermal filler used to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and areas of volume loss. While it works as a dermal filler, it also stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin in the skin, improving skin quality for a more youthful, brighter appearance.

It is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres that are suspended in a gel. When injected into the skin, the gel provides immediate volume, while the CaHA microspheres stimulate the production of collagen, which provides longer-lasting results.

What does Radiesse® do?


×        Immediate contouring.

×        Reduce hollowness.

×        Improve fine lines and wrinkles – such as smile lines, marionette lines, chin wrinkles, corners of the mouth.

×        Treatment for the face or hands.

×        Stimulation of collagen and elastin production for more youthful, higher-quality skin.

 

What results does Radiesse® have?


×        Immediately noticeable results in areas that have been treated/filled.

×        Full results appear within a week of the treatment.

×        Long-term results of collagen and elastin production fully seen 7 months after treatment and lasting over 2 years.

×        It is important to note that while Radiesse can stimulate collagen production it is not a permanent solution. As we continue to age, our collagen production will naturally decline, and additional treatments may be needed to maintain the desired results.

 

Where can Radiesse® be used?


Radiesse is commonly used to treat facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth), marionette lines (the lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin), and smile lines. It can also be used to add volume to the cheeks, chin, and hands.

 

What is a Radiesse® Wash for Skin Quality?


A Radiesse® wash is where the Radiesse® is diluted down with saline and lidocaine to be used for improving skin quality rather than volumizing certain areas. The Radiesse® works by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production and result is a more hydrated, tighter, higher quality skin.

 

Don’t forget the hands!


Radiesse® is commonly used to add volume to the hands and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and veins. Our hands are a common tell-tale sign of age.  Radiesse® can be an effective solution for individuals who want to restore a more youthful look to their hands.

The safety and effectiveness of Radiesse have been well established through clinical studies and years of use in medical aesthetics.

Radiesse has been FDA-approved since 2006 for use in correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, and in recent years it has also been used to add volume to the hands. The safety and effectiveness of Radiesse have been well established through clinical studies and years of use in medical aesthetics.
