RADIESSE®

Radiesse is a popular dermal filler that provides a safe, effective solution for individuals seeking to restore volume and smoothness to their skin. At Atalla Plastic Surgery, Radiesse addresses signs of aging, offering patients a rejuvenated and youthful appearance with minimal downtime.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler that stimulates collagen production, the natural protein that gives your skin structure and elasticity. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse provides immediate volume upon injection and continues to work by stimulating your body’s collagen production over time.

This dual-action approach makes Radiesse particularly effective for treating wrinkles, folds, and loss of volume in the face, especially in areas like the cheeks, nasolabial folds, and jawline. It is also commonly used to rejuvenate the hands, often showing the first signs of aging.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Ideal candidates are typically experiencing mild to moderate facial wrinkles, folds, or volume loss. If you are over 21 and looking for a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate your appearance, you may be a good candidate for Radiesse. This treatment is suitable for most skin types and tones. However, individuals with a history of severe allergies, particularly to any of the ingredients in Radiesse, or those who have bleeding disorders may need to explore alternative treatments.

What Should I Expect The Recovery To Be Like?

One key benefit of Radiesse is the minimal downtime associated with the treatment. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure. You may experience some minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects are generally mild and resolve within a few days.

To minimize any potential side effects, it is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and alcohol for at least 24 hours after the treatment. Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and speedy recovery.

What Results Should I Expect?

Radiesse provides immediate results; the initial volume enhancement is due to the filler itself, while the longer-term effects result from increased collagen production. Over the weeks following your treatment, your skin will continue to improve, becoming firmer and more youthful-looking as the body produces new collagen.

Radiesse's results can last up to 18 months, making it one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers on the market. Many patients choose to schedule follow-up treatments to maintain their results over time.

What is the Process Like?

The Radiesse treatment process is straightforward and typically takes less than an hour. During your appointment, our providers will cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The Radiesse filler is then carefully injected into the targeted areas.

Our team’s expertise ensures the filler is evenly distributed, creating a natural-looking result that enhances facial contours. You will see an improvement immediately after the injections, and there is no need for extensive recovery time.
