Radiesse

Whether you’re longing to reverse the common signs of aging or address a health issue that otherwise would require an invasive treatment, you have more options in looking and feeling better with Radiesse™.

Developed with safety and longevity in mind, Radiesse is a new generation injectable filler that offers superior versatility for both cosmetic and reconstructive use without surgery. What sets Radiesse apart from other dermal fillers? The answer is in its durability, longevity, and versatility.

The unique composition of Radiesse provides immediate visual improvement common with other fillers, along with the benefit of long-lasting results. This is because Radiesse is made of very tiny, smooth calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. The microspheres (particles) form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagen grows, and this produces the desired long-term effect. These unique advantages make Radiesse the ideal choice for facial shaping and contouring.

Radiesse can be used for:

• Smile lines (nasolabial folds from edge of nostril to corner of mouth)
• Marionette lines (from angles of mouth down)
• Nose reshaping
• Cheek enhancement
• Chin enhancement
• Jaw Line contouring
• Facial fat loss (lipoatrophy)
• Acne scars

Step 1: Consultation with an experienced Radiesse provider

During your consultation, Dr. Schlesinger will examine your skin and discuss how Radiesse treatment can enhance the contour and shape of your face to restore a vital and youthful appearance. Since no skin testing is needed, you can have your treatment the same day.

Step 2: Cleanse and fill

After a thorough cleansing of the area to be treated, Radiesse is injected in a narrow, continuous stream in the proper skin plane to achieve the desired facial augmentation and contouring. A combination of topical measures and local numbing will be used so treatment is comfortable and relaxing

Step 3: No downtime

Radiesse injection is a non-surgical approach that involves a simple in-office procedure. Treatment is convenient and quick. Usually, mild swelling and redness occcur at the injection sites that may last 1-2 days. Sometimes, a bruise may be noticable. In most cases, you may resume your routine activities immediately following the procedure. You will be provided with specific instructions.

Step 4: See immediate results

Radiesse can be placed to provide volume and correction without the need to over correct, an advantage over many other filler products. Therefore, your doctor can mold, shape and contour the areas of your face to provide immediate and optimal improvement.

Step 5: Long lasting correction

You have successfully completed your Radiesse contouring treatment. In most facial applications, Radiesse should provide a correction that last one to two years. Sometimes, an occasional touch-up is needed.
