Radiesse®

Radiesse® is a dermal filler made of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel microspheres that work immediately upon injection. CaHA is comprised of phosphate and calcium, which occur naturally in the human body.

A newer and highly effective use for Radiesse® is the technique of hyper dilution. When diluted and injected superficially, Radiesse® acts as a collagen stimulating agent. The Hyperdilute Radiesse® technique combines the filler with saline and lidocaine, thinning the consistency and increasing the volume of product. The Hyperdilute Radiesse® is then injected into the desired areas through a thin cannula. This treatment Is a favorable alternative to surgical intervention such as facelift or neck and décolleté lift.

Hyperdilute Radiesse® will:

• Rejuvenate the skin
• Improve texture
• Correct Volume loss and wrinkles
• Improve the appearance of cellulite

What areas of the body can I treat with Hyperdilute Radiesse®? Almost any area where you have skin laxity and volume loss.

• Neck and décolletté
• Inner/upper arms
• Hands
• Mid to lower face
• Abdomen
• Above the knees
• Buttocks

You may begin to see immediate results after treatment. The collagen stimulating effects of the treatment will take over at 3-4 weeks post treatment and will continue for up to 6 months. The gains you make with treatment will last, however, the aging process will continue – you will just age from a better place. For these reasons we recommend an effective at-home anti aging regimen and annual visits for maintenance treatment.

How many Hyperdilute Radiesse® treatments will I need?

We recommend 2-3 treatments performed 1 month apart for optimal results.

The number you will needed will depend on your overall skin health, amount of skin laxity and volume loss. To maintain results we recommend a follow up treatment approximately once per year.

Is there downtime? What are the side effects?

There is no downtime. You may experience very mild bruising, swelling and minimal discomfort may occur. These are temporary and will resolve within a few days.
