RADIESSE®

Radiesse® has a unique makeup of hydroxylapatite microspheres and works double duty to not only provide volume needed to fill in lines and wrinkles, but also to stimulate the production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides strength and structure to the skin to keep it firmer and tighter. Radiesse® is used by the medical professionals at the Aesthetic Center of Gainesville to treat moderate to severe wrinkles.

During a consultation, each individuals desired goals will be discussed to form an appropriate treatment plan. The injection areas will then be cleaned thoroughly. Using a small needle, the surgeon will inject the Radiesse® filler into the skin. Following the procedure, patients may feel numb or experience redness near the injection sites, which normally subsides in a short time. There is no downtime, and patients are able to return to work following their appointment.

Patients should notice a difference to their face almost immediately following a Radiesse® injection. However, because the injection ingredient works to produce and stimulate collagen development, results will be longer lasting than some of the other fillers on the market. Patients should expect results that include added volume to the face which will smooth wrinkling. Patients can repeat this procedure when they feel their results are no longer visible.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER FILLERS?

Patients who are considering an injectable filler as part of their cosmetic treatment have a diverse selection of fillers to choose from. Fillers such as Radiesse® are considered temporary, even though the results may last up to a full year. Common filler procedures include collagen, calcium hydroxyapatite, hyaluronic acid, polylactic acid, PMMA, and fat injections. During your consultation, we will discuss the various fillers and evaluate your facial tone, laxity, and volume levels to help you decide which filler may be the best choice.

WHAT MAKES RADIESSE® DIFFERENT

Radiesse® is the only dermal filler composed of calcium-based microspheres, which are comparable to hyaluronic acid injectable fillers due to the natural ability to stimulate collagen production.

WHAT ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS?

Patients undergoing Radiesse® may have mild redness, bruising, numbness and/or itching that occur following treatment. These are temporary side effects.

One of the best ways to get long-lasting, beautiful results non-surgically is with Radiesse®. This filler adds volume where needed, fills in lines and wrinkles, and initiates the production of collagen. Call to schedule a consultation with our helpful and knowledgeable staff as soon as possible.
