Radiesse

Add Structure and Volume with Radiesse

If you’re looking for a dermal filler that not only provides volume but also stimulates collagen production, Radiesse is an excellent option. This unique filler is designed to offer long-lasting results by encouraging your skin to produce its natural collagen. Ideal for facial and hand rejuvenation, Radiesse helps you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a dermal filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This unique composition sets Radiesse apart from other fillers, such as hyaluronic acid fillers, as it works in two ways: first by providing immediate volume and then by stimulating the production of collagen over time. The calcium-based microspheres provide a structural scaffold for the skin, which gives an instant lift and volume. As the microspheres gradually dissolve, they encourage the production of new collagen, promoting long-term improvements in skin texture and firmness.

Radiesse is FDA-approved for treating volume loss and wrinkles in the face and hands. It is commonly used in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds, and even the back of the hands. What makes Radiesse particularly appealing is its longevity—results can last up to a year or more, making it an excellent option for those looking for a long-lasting solution to aging skin.

How Does Radiesse Work?

During a Radiesse treatment, the filler is injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres within the gel immediately provide structure and volume, giving the skin a lifted, fuller appearance. Over time, the microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, leading to continued improvements in skin elasticity, texture, and firmness.

This dual-action approach makes Radiesse highly effective for both immediate correction and long-term rejuvenation. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, and most patients experience minimal discomfort. There is little to no downtime following the treatment, and you can return to your regular activities immediately. The immediate results from Radiesse are visible right after the procedure, and as collagen production increases, you will notice even greater improvements over the following weeks.

Benefits of Radiesse

Immediate Volume

Radiesse provides instant results by adding structure and volume to the treated areas, giving you a more youthful appearance right away.

Collagen Stimulation

In addition to providing immediate volume, Radiesse stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, which helps improve skin elasticity and firmness over time.

Versatile Treatment

Radiesse can be used to address volume loss and wrinkles in various areas of the face, hands, and even body areas like the décolleté and knees, making it a versatile option for rejuvenation.

Long-Lasting Results

Results from Radiesse can last up to a year or more, making it a durable solution for individuals seeking long-term improvements in their skin’s appearance.

Minimal Downtime

The treatment is quick, and most patients experience minimal downtime, allowing them to return to their daily routine immediately after the procedure.

Natural-Looking Enhancement

Radiesse provides natural results that enhance your appearance without looking overdone or artificial, ensuring that your facial features remain expressive and balanced.

Am I a Candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse is an ideal treatment option for individuals experiencing volume loss, deep wrinkles, or sagging skin. It is particularly effective for areas that require structural support, such as the cheeks, jawline, and hands. Radiesse is also a popular choice for individuals who want to restore a youthful appearance without the need for surgery or frequent maintenance.

You may be a good candidate for Radiesse if you have mild to moderate volume loss in areas like the cheeks, jawline, or hands and are looking to improve the appearance of deep wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds or marionette lines. A consultation with an expert practitioner at Refresh Medspa will help determine if Radiesse is the right treatment for your aesthetic goals.

How to Prepare for Radiesse

To ensure the best results from your Radiesse treatment at Refresh Medspa, follow these simple preparation steps. About a week before your appointment, avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and supplements like fish oil and vitamin E, as these can increase the risk of bruising and swelling. It’s also advisable to refrain from alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours prior to your treatment, as it can impact your skin’s healing process. On the day of your procedure, arrive with a clean face, free from makeup, lotions, or skincare products to ensure a sterile environment. If you have any recent cosmetic procedures or medical conditions, inform your provider beforehand. Proper preparation helps enhance the effectiveness of Radiesse and contributes to a smooth, comfortable treatment experience.
