Radiesse®
If your face has lost significant volume, either due to aging or weight loss, replacing that volume with a long-lasting filler can make a big difference. Adding volume to your cheeks can also improve a youthful contour. When you are looking for this type of improvement, Radiesse is a great choice.
Radiesse contains hydroxyappetite, a chemical naturally found in your body. It has been reproduced in a laboratory. No animal products are used, so allergic reactions are not a concern. Radiesse provides a scaffold for your own collagen in-growth. The result is a natural appearing volume enhancement for deep lines around the mouth and lower face, as well augmentation of the cheeks.
Are you a candidate?
Some signs to look for that may make you a candidate for Radiesse®:
- You have deep facial creases, particularly around the mouth
- You have hollow cheeks
Results to expect:
Your injections are performed after the area is numbed. You may have minor bruising and swelling that can last several days, but is easily covered with make-up. Radiesse will feel firm to the touch for a week, and then soften and feel like the surrounding tissue. Results typically last for up to 18 months, although you may need a minor touch up after 6 weeks for optimal results.
