Dermal fillers are a simple, efficient solution for reducing signs of aging and helping the face appear fuller and more youthful. One popular type is Radiesse®, which restores volume and stimulates collagen production, providing results in just one appointment. If you’re interested in this popular dermal filler, here’s what you need to know.
What Are Radiesse Dermal Fillers and How Do They Work?
Radiesse is an injectable filler frequently used to restore volume to the face (especially the lower face) and hands. The injections utilize calcium hydroxyapatite, which has a stiffer consistency, allowing it to restore support to the jawline, chin, and nasolabial folds. Whether you have fine lines or deep wrinkles, you should begin noticing younger-looking, smoother, softer skin with one treatment. Patients generally receive two to three treatments about one to two months apart.
Radiesse can also trigger collagen production, which will continue to plump your skin and improve your results over the following months.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
Those experiencing deep wrinkles and volume loss around the nose, mouth, and hands are generally the best candidates for Radiesse. However, there are components in Radiesse that some may be allergic to, so be sure to provide your medical history to your physician during your consultation.
How Long Do the Results of Radiesse Last?
The concentrated formula in this injectable dermal filler produces long-lasting results. After one or more Radiesse treatments, you could have results for at least one year and possibly up to two.
The factors that influence the duration of the treatment include how severe your wrinkles are, how well you take care of your skin, and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler.
Does Radiesse Have Side Effects?
You may experience some minor side effects after receiving treatment with Radiesse, including redness around the injection site, itchy skin, minor bruising, and swelling. Tenderness around the area, including temporarily reduced movement, is normal, as are nodules forming around the injection site. These side effects should subside shortly after your treatment.
