Radiesse
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse in Baltimore is an injectable filler made from a safe and biocompatible substance, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which adds volume to the skin and minimizes wrinkles. Manufactured by Merz Aesthetics, the injection stimulates natural collagen production and provides structural support underneath the skin.
Once injected, it provides immediate volume and correction while continuing to stimulate the body to produce its own natural collagen. One of the advantages is that it can have long-lasting results, up to two to three years.
Unlike hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, Radiesse is composed of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This unique formulation provides immediate volume correction while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen production for long-lasting results. The calcium filler is commonly used to treat deeper wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, as well as to restore volume in areas like the cheeks and chin.
Benefits of Radiesse
Radiesse dermal filler injections deliver a wide range of benefits from its unique filler material, making this the perfect option for anyone looking for both instant and long-term rejuvenation in a quick treatment.
Immediate results: Soft tissue fillers provide immediate volume correction upon injection, instantly improving the appearance of wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas of the face.
Long-lasting effects: Stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, leading to continued improvement in skin quality and volume over time. Results typically last longer compared to some other dermal fillers, with effects lasting up to 12-18 months.
Natural-looking results: Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres, which integrate well with the body’s tissues and provide smooth, natural-looking results. It can effectively restore facial volume and contour without creating an overly “filled” or artificial appearance.
Versatility: The filler can be used to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including deep wrinkles, facial folds, volume loss, and contour deficiencies. It is suitable for various areas of the face, such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, and nasolabial folds.
Minimal downtime: Treatment typically involves minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure. Some temporary side effects like swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site may occur but usually resolve quickly.
What Can Be Treated with Radiesse?
Radiesse is commonly used to treat a wide range of facial aesthetic concerns. Some of the issues that can be effectively treated with Radiesse include:
- Deep wrinkles and folds: The filler can be used to fill in deeper wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and laugh lines.
- Facial volume loss: The aesthetic treatment can restore volume to areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging or other factors, such as the cheeks, chin, and jawline.
- Facial contouring: Radiesse can be used to enhance facial contours, providing definition to areas like the cheeks, chin, and jawline.
- Hand rejuvenation: The cosmetic treatment can rejuvenate the hands by filling in volume loss and minimizing the appearance of veins and tendons.
- Facial augmentation: Beyond treating volume loss and filling lines, Radiesse can be used for soft tissue augmentation, enhancing contours in the chin, cheeks, or jawline.
Overall, Radiesse is a versatile filler that can address multiple signs of aging and enhance facial appearance in various areas.
What Should I Expect During Treatment?
Radiesse is injected through a small needle and placed under the skin. The injection provides an instant lifting effect by restoring lost volume in areas of the lower face, effectively treating moderate to severe wrinkles and folds.
In addition to the immediate plumping effects, it continues to work by stimulating the natural production of collagen in your skin for a more sustained, refreshed appearance that can last up to a year or more in many patients.
