Injectable Facial Filler

Overview

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.

01

Administering Radiesse®

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.

02

What to Expect

During your appointment, you will discuss your concerns and develop a plan with our staff. The area will be thoroughly cleaned prior to the treatment. At your request, we can call in a topical numbing solution to a local compounding pharmacy or use ice to assist with comfort prior to injection. Results can be seen immediately and full correction within a week. After injection, there is a often visible redness and mild swelling at the injection sites that maybe accompanied with bruising. This can be minimized with makeup coverage.

FAQS

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.

Dr. Schaheen is professional, upbeat, encouraging & skilled!!! Her surgery on my hand far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend for your surgery needs.

“Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom”

I cut my pinky flexor tendon mid-July, and had a different doctor operate. When I hadn’t seen the greatest results, I went to Dr. Schaheen and she scheduled me for surgery immediately with full communication on what needed to be improved. My surgery was early October, and the scar is already almost non-existent! She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to. She has the sweetest, most nurturing personality. Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom. The only negative thing about her is that I can’t rate above five stars. Dr. Schaheen, you are a JOY!!!!!

- Miranda P.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!”
