Radiesse is an FDA approved injectable dermal filler. It effectively adds volume to the skin and stimulates the body’s own natural production of collagen. As you age, your skin often loses its plump appearance as the body’s natural creation of collagen slows. Your cheeks take on a hollow appearance, sagging can occur, and wrinkles develop. Radiesse effectively smooths out wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth. An aesthetic professional will also inject it into key areas of the face that have sustained a fat loss. In addition to facial rejuvenation, Radiesse is also often used on the backs of the hands to restore age-related volume loss that makes the hands appear old and skeletal.
The injections of Radiesse are easily performed in a physician’s office. The dermal filler is administered just beneath the skin’s surface with an exceedingly small needle. You can immediately return to your daily life after treatment. It normally takes less than 15 minutes to inject the filler into targeted areas. You will immediately notice a plumper appearance and over time, as the body’s collagen production naturally increases, you will see a more vibrant and smoother skin appearance. Many individuals benefit from a single treatment session of Radiesse for up to two years before a repeat procedure is necessary.
Radiesse injections are nontoxic, non-allergenic, and work well with your skin’s natural fibers. The solution is made of hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel microspheres which are composed of ions of calcium and phosphate. All the substances occur naturally in the body. The CaHA stimulates your body’s natural production of collagen. The combination of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen in the Radiesse gel form a support structure that mimics the body’s own connective tissue for a fuller and more youthful appearance. As time goes by, the gel is absorbed into the body but the collagen that the body has been encouraged to create by the Radiesse remains for an ongoing youthful appearance.
