How does Radiesse work?
Radiesse stimulates the body to produce new collagen. Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based microspheres that are suspended in a water-based gel and injected into the skin through a simple, safe, and minimally invasive procedure.
How long does Radiesse last?
The wrinkle treatment results provided by Radiesse dermal filler are immediate and long lasting. The effects of Radiesse may last a year or more in many patients. In addition, Radiesse treatments may require fewer office visits for follow-up treatments. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with your physician.
Is Radiesse better than collagen?
The cosmetic use of collagen injections has declined in recent years for several reasons. The most important of these is the fact that collagen injections are associated with a relatively high rate of allergic reactions. As a result, more doctors have turned to safe, effective alternatives like Radiesse. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) that is biocompatible, and similar to what is naturally found in the body. Years of rigorous industry and independent research worldwide have proven that Radiesse is safe and effective, with virtually no risk of allergic reaction.
Is Radiesse safe?
In years of rigorous clinical testing and use by physicians in hundreds of thousands of patients worldwide, Radiesse has been shown to be safe and effective. In the FDA clinical studies there were virtually no allergic reactions. There may be some normal injection related occurrences, such as bruising, discomfort, swelling, or redness that typically resolve on their own.
How much does Radiesse cost?
Because Radiesse treatments are customized for each patient, the cost varies. In general, the cost of Radiesse is comparable to similar procedures. But because Radiesse may require fewer offices visits for follow-up treatments, you most likely will save money and time compared to other treatments. Consult your physician for a recommendation as to how Radiesse can best meet your individual needs.
