Radiesse
The Latest Development in Wrinkle Fillers
As recently as a few years ago, only aging celebrities and other wealthy socialites even considered wrinkle fillers and smoothers. This is because the results didn’t last very long, which meant frequent, expensive treatments were necessary to maintain the effects of the procedures. Today, there are alternatives available that are much more affordable and can last up to a year. Radiesse is one of these products and it does much more than just fill in a wrinkle. It can actually help increase your body’s collagen production!
What Is Radiesse Used For?
Radiesse is a wrinkle filler that has been proven to stimulate the production of the body’s collagen. It also instantly corrects face wrinkles and the results can last up to a year! Now it is available with lidocaine to make the process comfortable for the patient.
As you grow older, your skin begins to lose collagen. The body produces less collagen, too. The skin becomes less elastic, plump, and more prone to wrinkles. Your youthful appearance begins to diminish. However, Rediesse can help turn back the hands of time and give you the healthy, youthful skin you want.
This advanced anti aging dermal filler is perfect for marionette lines, smile lines, pre-jowl, frown lines, and oral commisure. If you are not ready to grow old gracefully, then this procedure could certainly be the wrinkle treatment you are looking for!
How Will I Know if I Am a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
An initial consultation with our physician will help the doctor make the determination if this type of collagen injections are right for you. Be sure to tell the doctor if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Radiesse and any medications you are currently taking.
What Side Effects Can I Expect? Is the Procedure Painful?
Swelling, bruising and redness at the injection site are the most common side effects. Other less common side effects include itching, burning, and a risk of infection. However, there have been no reports of infection during any clinical study of this cosmetic filler.
Our physician may use a local anesthetic during the procedure and you may have some mild discomfort during the first 24 hours. You should not massage the area where the injection occurred, but ice packs and over-the-counter pain medications usually provide enough relief from the discomfort. Most people only experience the redness and bruising for a couple of days after treatment and you can return to work immediately in most cases.
In Closing
Radiesse is quite different from other types of similar procedures. The results are long-lasting and your skin will begin to produce more collagen. This is one of the most exciting cosmetic procedures as the results are quite impressive!
