Radiesse Beverly Hills
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler that provides a long lasting correction of facial wrinkles. Plastic surgeons have also used Radiesse for facial contouring and various treatments requiring soft tissue augmentation.
Radiesse is FDA approved for cosmetic use and treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. In Beverly Hills, we may recommend Radiesse for correction of these conditions:
- Nasolabial folds / Smile lines
- Marionette Lines / Oral commissure
- Flat or sunken cheeks
- Depressed scars
How Radiesse Works
As your skin ages, the tissue gradually loses volume. Vital components such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and fat as lipoatrophy occurrs. With a dermal filler like Radiesse, the doctor can restore that tissue volume to improve your appearance. Radiesse, with its unique composition, has a way of stimulating collagen. Composed of tiny calcium microspheres in a water-based gel, Radiesse supports the skin structure and stimulates collagen production for a long-term wrinkle correction.
Your Radiesse Treatment
Before Radiesse injection, your skin is cleansed and the doctor determines the proper injection sites. To make the inejection comfortable, a topical anesthetic can be applied. Once the anesthetic has numbed the area, Radiesse is injected with a fine 27 gauge needle. Penetrating to the sub-dermal plane, a special injection technique ensures perfect placement of the product. After injection, the site is massaged briefly. You should see an immediate wrinkle correction of the treated area.
After Your Radiesse Treatment
1 year is the average duration of results with Radiesse, but results may last 10 to 14 months. Patients often choose to return for another Radiesse treatment in 12-18 months.
Are there side effects?
Side effects with Radiesse are uncommon and typically resolve within a few days. If you experience any swelling, you may be advised to elevate your head and use ice to keep it under control. Possible side effects include irritation, edema, itching, discoloration and tenderness.
