If you are thinking about having injections administered to help
reduce the signs of aging but are not comfortable with the use of
Botox or collagen, then Radiesse Derma Filler may be right for you.
This product has proven to be effective removing age lines and
wrinkles from around the nose and mouth and is a safe and effective
alternative to Botox and collagen.
How Does It Work?
Radiesse is a gel container that consists of calcium
hydroxylpatite (CaHa) microspheres that serve as a dermal filler,
plumping and smoothing the skin that is lying over the injected
area. While your body is naturally absorbing the CaHa gel, the skin
is stimulated to increase its production of collagen, which will
soon replace the gel to keep the treated area looking younger. This
absorption process takes approximately two to three months while the
replacement of your natural collagen can last for a year or even
longer, depending on the patient.
Best Use
Radiesse filler works best on nasolabial folds, marionette lines,
and smile lines. Nasolabial folds are the lines and creases that are
formed from the side of the nose down to the corner of the mouth. An
injection of Radiesse into the tissue underneath this area can plump
and smooth the skin, diminishing if not totally eliminating these
age lines.
Radiesse is also effective as a facial lipoatrophy treatment.
This condition occurs when there is a loss of fat cells in the
facial tissue due to aging. This loss leads to the appearance of
hollow eyes, sunken cheeks, and other facial lines and creases.
Smile lines and marionette lines fall into this category. Radiesse
can also help to fill and smooth these areas.
Benefits of Radiesse
Radiesse is longer lasting and safer than other injection
alternatives. The results can last for over a year while the
treatment itself can be done within an hour. There is also no
pretreatment testing required as in the case of collagen. You can
discuss Radiesse with your doctor to decide if it is the right
treatment option for you.
