Infiltrations with Radiesse are a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of Radiesse, a dermal filler, to restore volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in the face and hands. Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel-like solution.
During the procedure, a healthcare professional injects Radiesse into the targeted areas using a fine needle. The filler immediately adds volume to the treated areas, smoothing out wrinkles and stimulating collagen production. The calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres provide immediate volumizing effects, while also stimulating the body’s natural collagen production for longer-lasting results.
The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes, and the results are visible immediately. Over time, the body gradually metabolizes the Radiesse filler while the newly stimulated collagen helps maintain the improvement in volume and texture.
Infiltrations with Radiesse can be used to address various concerns, including facial wrinkles, smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, chin wrinkles, and loss of volume in the hands. The treatment is generally well-tolerated, and any discomfort can be minimized with the application of a topical anesthetic or local anesthesia.
It is important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist to determine if infiltrations with Radiesse are suitable for your specific concerns and goals. They can provide personalized recommendations and ensure the procedure is performed safely and effectively.
