Not all dermal fillers are created equal. Some fillers are formulated for extra plumpness, others are made to give you gradual, long-lasting results. With Radiesse® as your facial volume loss cure, you can’t go wrong. This filler features calcium-based microspheres that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, helping you get the desired skin and keep it for up to two years! Connect with our team at McLean & Potomac Dermatology to learn more today.
What Is Radiesse®?
Its calcium-based microspheres are what sets Radiesse® apart from other fillers. These microspheres help reconstruct the skin by stimulating collagen production, ultimately providing the longest-lasting results. Collagen is the stuff that maintains the thickness and youth of our skin. Our bodies tend to produce less of it over time, but Radiesse® can help increase its quantity and make us look and feel younger.
What Does Radiesse® Address?
Radiesse® offers a range of versatility and can be injected into various body parts, including the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, and buttocks. It is amazing for skin with laxity, wrinkles, and other aging signs. It’s not surgery, but Radiesse®’s results can be quite transformative! The knees and thighs can be treated with Radiesse® too. Also, some people may want their “hip-dips” filled, others want more volume (like a surgical BBL), and some want to shape and cellulite correction.
What to Expect
The injection procedure can take about an hour, depending on location and syringe quantity. The procedure causes little discomfort as you are numbed ahead of time. Results from these injections can be visible right after your session. However, it may take some time before you see the full benefits of this treatment.
Radiesse® Dermal Filler Results
The effects of this filler can last 18-24 months or longer. Because we are stimulating your body to make this collagen and elastin, the final results can take 3-4 weeks to start becoming noticeable. Touch-up sessions may be needed to maintain your results for longer. We can discuss this product’s potential side effects and complications during your initial consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is Radiesse®, and how does it differ from other dermal fillers?
Radiesse® is an injectable filler made of tiny calcium-based beads mixed into a smooth gel. Most fillers, like hyaluronic acid, work by pulling in water to puff up an area temporarily. Radiesse® works in a different way. It helps your skin rebuild itself by getting your body to make more of its own collagen and elastin, the materials that keep skin thick, firm, and youthful. So instead of just filling a spot for now, it strengthens your skin from the inside.
What areas of the body can be treated, and what concerns does Radiesse® address?
Radiesse® is highly versatile and can be used on multiple areas beyond the face, including the neck, chest, arms, hands, knees, thighs, and buttocks. It is exceptionally effective at correcting moderate-to-severe wrinkles, lifting sagging skin, smoothing out cellulite, filling in “hip-dips,” and adding significant volume and contour to areas experiencing age-related laxity.
Is the injection process painful, and how long do the results typically last?
The non-surgical injection process is a short procedure, depending on the number of syringes required and the treatment location. Any discomfort is minimal, as the target area is thoroughly numbed prior to the procedure. While an initial lift is visible immediately after your session, the full, natural benefits develop over 3 to 4 weeks as new collagen forms, with results lasting an impressive 18 to 24 months or longer.
