Radiesse®
dermal filler is a safe, next generation filler that does more than
just fill in lines and wrinkles – it volumizes. This treatment
restores a natural, youthful look that lasts. In many patients, the
results may last for up to a year. Radiesse dermal filler
stimulates the body to produce new collagen. This unique response
provides immediate, visible improvement of folds and wrinkles, and
provides long-lasting and beautiful results.
Frequently Asked Questions
What
is Radiesse filler?
Radiesse filler is for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles,
such as
nasolabial
folds and marionette lines. It
can also be used to
enhance the cheeks and rejuvenate
the hands. Years of rigorous
clinical studies prove that Radiesse filler provides long lasting
correction of
smile lines
and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse filler
is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a
water-based gel
that is injected into the skin through a simple,
safe, and minimally invasive procedure.
How does Radiesse work?
Radiesse filler is gently injected into the skin in small amounts
with a very fine needle. Radiesse filler provides immediate
restoration of volume and stimulates the body to produce new
collagen creating long-lasting results.
Is
Radiesse safe?
In
years of rigorous clinical testing and use by physicians in hundreds
of thousands of patients worldwide, Radiesse has been shown to be
safe and effective. In the FDA clinical studies there were
virtually no allergic reactions as a result no allergy testing is
required prior to injection. There may be some normal injection
related side effects such as bruising, discomfort, swelling, or
redness that typically resolve on their own.
How is
a Radiesse treatment performed?
Radiesse filler is injected into the skin through a simple, safe,
quick, and minimally invasive outpatient procedure. Typically
administered in a physician's office with the use of a local
anesthetic,
Radiesse
treatment requires little to no downtime, with most
patients returning to normal activities almost immediately after
treatment.
How soon can I expect results? How long will
the results last?
The
results are immediate. Radiesse filler continues to deliver results
as it stimulates your body to produce new collagen. Results may
last up to a year in many patients, which may result in fewer office
visits for retreatments. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss
your expectations with your doctor.
Are
there any side effects?
Normal, injection-related reactions such as mild irritation, edema,
swelling, itching, bruising, discoloration, or tenderness at the
injection site may occur. These conditions typically resolve
themselves within one to three days.
Is Radiesse filler permanent?
No.
Treatment results are long-lasting, but not permanent. Over time
the tiny calcium-based microspheres gradually break down into
calcium and phosphate ions which are safely and naturally absorbed
into your body, leaving your own newly produced collagen in their
place.
