RADIESSE

DERMAL FILLER- LIFT & CONTOUR

IMG_3256_edited.jpg

Radiesse® is a temporarily but long-lasting dermal filler that adds volume to help smooth severe facial wrinkles and gives an immediate lifting and firming effect but also stimulates the skin's natural collagen synthesis.

RADIESSE® is a dermal filler that is used for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (the creases that extend from the corner of your nose to the corner of your mouth). RADIESSE® is also used for correcting volume loss in the back of the hands and is also used for improving moderate to severe loss of jawline contour. Dr Aguilar only performs this procedure with dermal fillers that are FDA and UK approved. This ensures that all our fillers are high quality to guarantee a natural, safe and effective result.

WHAT IS RADIESSE®?

Radiesse® is an injectable dermal filler that temporarily adds volume to help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and gives an immediate lifting and firming effect on the skin. In addition to an immediate filling effect, the high quality ingredients of Radiesse® stimulate the skin’s natural collagen synthesis. Thanks to the collagen-inducing effect of Radiesse®, the skin regains its youthful tightness and elasticity. The treatment with Radiesse® is quick and virtually painless. One treatment session takes approximately 30 minutes. The effect is immediately visible and the results are long-lasting.

WHY RADIESSE®?

​Radiesse® is the only regenerative biostimulator that provides instant lift and contour, reverses visible signs of ageing, and creates a more natural, youthful appearance. Unique calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) gel formulations of Radiesse® provide a matrix for immediate lift and contour, and high density of collagen and elastin provides for observed long-term structural support. The long-lasting effects of Radiesse® may provide you with a year or more of the desired effect.

HOW DOES RADIESSE® WORK?

Radiesse® is composed of small calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a soft gel matrix. Radiesse® is gently injected into your skin, usually in small amounts with a very fine needle. This injections provide an immediate and visible effect. Additionally, Radiesse® stimulates your skin's own regeneration abilities- new collagen is produced over the following weeks and months, making your skin stronger and more elastic. Radiesse® treatments are long lasting, but not permanent.

WHAT TO EXPECT?

The ideal way to achieve wrinkle reduction is by replenishing lost volume. Unfortunately, treating individual wrinkles is often not enough to restore a youthful and fresh appearance. In order to counter the effects of gravity and regain a younger shape, the face needs real lifting. With Radiesse® you welcome back your skin's natural collagen to smooth out sagging effects.

CAN RADIESSE®® BE COMBINED WITH SOME OTHER TREATMENTS?

Radiesse® can be safely combined with other treatments, such as hyaluronic acid, anti-wrinkle injections, no- surgical thread lift, mesotherapy, chemical peels, etc.

WHICH AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH DERMAL FILLERS?

The most common treatment areas are:

  • Nasolabial folds (nose to mouth lines).

  • Marionette lines.

  • Hands

  • Chin filler to improve profile

  • Jawline filler to shape, define and adjust the facial profile

  • Temple area

  • Cheek filler for subtle beautification or restore volume loss.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE RADIESSE® AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

The procedure takes a short time but if you are having several areas treated, you will require a longer consultation. This is assessed on an individual basis and results are dependent on the area treated. Radiesse® generally last from 12 to 18 months but it may vary from patient to patient.

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON COMPLICATIONS FROM THE USE OF RADIESSE®?

Some people can have a reaction to this kind of filler but this is extremely rare. Common minor side effects include bruising, redness and swelling which settle within a few days. The most common adverse events seen in clinical studies of RADIESSE® used in the hands include bruising, redness, swelling, pain, itching, nodules or bumps/lumps, difficulty performing activities, loss of sensation and other local side effects. The most common adverse events seen in clinical studies of RADIESSE® used in the face include bruising, redness, swelling, pain and itching.

One of the risks with using these products is unintentional injection into a blood vessel. The chances of this happening are very small, but if it does happen, the complications can be serious, and may be permanent. These complications, which have been reported for facial injections, can include vision abnormalities, blindness, stroke, temporary scabs, or permanent scarring of the skin.

If you are having any complications contact Dr Aguilar as soon as possible and she will advise you.
