A guide to Radiesse®: What makes this injectable different for long-lasting results, truly natural enhancement
At Precision Skin Institute, our talented team in Davie, Florida, can lift years of sun damage and the effects of the natural aging process over your lunch hour with Radiesse®. Due to the truly precise nature of the treatment, Radiesse® gets natural results (you won’t look “overdone” or like you’ve “had work done”). Led by Dr. Lesley Clark-Loeser and Dr. Marianna Blyumin-Karasik, our practice’s attention to detail and considerable skill and artistry also promote the most positive experience.
What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is an injectable treatment that can lift the corners of the mouth, build up a receding chin or depressed cheek area, soften nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the mouth and nose, and even “fill in” aging hands!
What makes Radiesse® different from other injectable treatments?
Radiesse® is characterized as a dermal or soft tissue filler. However, it is more than that, as Radiesse® is uniquely formulated to fill in sunken areas and depressions or folds and stimulate the production of collagen.
How does Radiesse® work?
As a collagen stimulator, Radiesse® is formulated with tiny calcium-based beads or particles designed to integrate with the skin. Once injected into the skin, these particles stimulate collagen and elastin production. The body naturally produces these proteins and supports the skin’s firmness and elasticity. As we age, our bodies produce less of these substances. So, by replenishing them, Radiesse® provides a natural boost and enhancement that lasts a year or longer for most patients. Due to its biocompatible nature, Radiesse® is also safe for individuals concerned about adverse reactions to injectables formulated with synthetic or animal-derived ingredients.
What can I expect from treatment at PSI?
Before your appointment, we can discuss options for enhanced comfort. For instance, Radiesse® (+) is formulated with the anesthetic lidocaine. Generally, treatment in our skillful hands is very well tolerated and safe. We use ultra-fine needles to inject the gel-like product into just the right areas of your face (or hands). While attractive improvements are visible immediately, the real magic occurs in the months following treatment and as more collagen and elastin are produced. For utmost safety, the calcium-based microspheres in Radiesse® are predictably and naturally absorbed and metabolized by the body. You are only left with fresh, beneficial, natural collagen, with results that improve with time.
With that said, no injectable treatment is truly “permanent.” Our team in Davie, FL, looks forward to working with you to support the lasting, stunning results. We can advise on maintenance or “touch-up” injections, as well as a tailored skin care regimen. Call Precision Skin Institute today at (954) 998-0345 to schedule your one-on-one consultation.
