RADIESSE®

RADIESSE® is an FDA-approved dermal filler that encourages your body’s natural collagen production process and reduces volume loss. Collagen is produced by your body to provide skin with support and structure, but the production declines over time.

RADIESSE is made with a gel that contains microspheres of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) suspended within it. When this dermal filler is injected, the microspheres trigger collagen production to smooth the appearance of creepiness in the neck and chest. Although it is most often used in these areas, this injectable treatment may also be used on the hands!

The first and only CaHA injectable treatment in the U.S.

RADIESSE in the hands

RADIESSE hand rejuvenation provides targeted volume increases to minimize signs of aging on the backs of hands. Usually 1 syringe per hand is needed for rejuvenation with a possible second treatment needed at 6-8 weeks. Results last several years!

Post-care for this treatment includes:

Applying ice to the hands for up to 24 hours
Warm compresses can be used after 24 hours for comfort
No hand or wrist jewelry for a few days after the treatment.
Keep hands elevated as much as possible for 1-2 days post-treatment.
No exercise for 24 hours post-treatment.

Hyperdilute RADIESSE

Got wrinkles, fine lines, skin laxity, thinning skin, or neck lines? Then you may be a candidate for skin rejuvenation treatment with Hyperdilute Radiesse!

What is Hyperdiluted Radiesse?

Hyperdiluted Radiesse is simply Radiesse that has been diluted / thinned out, with a mixture of sterile saline solution and lidocaine. This makes it an easily spreadable biostimulator capable of remodeling skin over a larger area.

When this diluted mixture is injected into areas of collagen loss, it triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin. The result is a skin rejuvenating treatment with pronounced and visible smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.

The benefits of this treatment are skin tightening and thickening, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crepiness. Treatment of the décolletage will also reduce the pigment from sun damage. Overall, skin tone, texture and elasticity are markedly improved.

Where can it be used?

-Neck lines and/or neck in patients with mild to moderate laxity

-Décolletage

-Buttocks with cellulitic dimples (in patients with moderate to severe cellulite) to reduce the appearance of dimpling

-Above knees to address the knee lines from lax skin with aging

How much diluted Radiesse is needed?

Radiesse is available by the syringe, and, according to current practice guidelines, treatment typically requires one syringe per area. The face and neck each usually require a single 1.5cc syringe per area, per session, while the chest requires only a full syringe.

What is the downtime?

As with any filler injection, there can be some bruising, swelling and mild discomfort after the treatment. Most clients tolerated this treatment well and are very satisfied with their results.

There can be a variable amount of bruising and swelling, which normally lasts up to a week.

How many treatments are needed?

One to three treatment sessions are usually required to achieve the desired aesthetic effects. Two treatments are typical, though severe sun damage or severe skin laxity may require more.

These treatments are spaced out one month apart. Though preliminary research shows that results with hyperdiluted Radiesse may last up to two years. one will likely want to have one hyperdilute Radiesse treatment every 12 to 18 months for maintenance.

Combination therapy

Hyperdiluted Radiesse can be used alone. Yet when addressing areas with harder to treat concerns, such as the neck or chest, it is best to treat in combination with other tightening and resurfacing procedures, such as Opus Plasma or Profound radio frequency, because they work together to improve dermal collagen.

Safety

While Radiesse is considered nontoxic and hypoallergenic, there are still risks to treatment. Some side effects include swelling, pain, itching, redness, bruising, and infection at the injection site. In rare cases, the injection could accidentally be placed in a blood vessel, causing severe (and sometimes permanent) side effects. Other rare risks include the formation of nodules on the backs of the hands that may require steroid or surgical intervention
