Radiesse
Transformative Facelift and Contouring Solution
Radiesse is a leading dermal filler renowned for its dual-action approach to facelift and contouring. Combining immediate volumizing effects with long-term skin rejuvenation, Radiesse offers a non-surgical solution to enhance facial contours and restore a youthful appearance. Radiesse is composed of two main components:
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Microspheres
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a naturally occurring mineral found in human bones and teeth, making it biocompatible and well-tolerated by the body.
In Radiesse, CaHA is formulated into smooth, spherical microspheres with a diameter of 25 to 45 micrometers. The CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold for collagen production. Once injected, they provide immediate volume and support to the skin, while also stimulating the body's natural collagen production over time. CaHA is gradually broken down and metabolized by the body over several months, leaving behind the newly generated collagen for sustained volume and wrinkle correction.
Aqueous Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) Gel Carrier
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a biocompatible, biodegradable gel that serves as the carrier for the CaHA microspheres. The CMC gel provides immediate volume upon injection, giving an instant lifting and smoothing effect to the skin. Over time, the CMC gel is naturally absorbed by the body, leaving the CaHA microspheres to continue their collagen-stimulating effects.
Common Treatment Areas for Radiesse:
1. Cheeks
Radiesse adds volume to the cheeks, restoring youthful fullness and definition. It helps lift sagging skin and enhances the cheekbones for a more contoured and youthful appearance.
2. Jawline and Chin
Radiesse is used to define the jawline and chin, creating a more structured and balanced lower face. It reduces the appearance of jowls and enhances facial contours.
3. Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
By filling in deep lines and folds, Radiesse smooths out nasolabial folds and marionette lines, providing a more youthful and refreshed look.
4. Temples
Radiesse can be used to restore volume in the temples, which helps lift the outer brows and improves overall facial balance.
Radiesse offers a powerful, non-surgical solution for facelift and contouring, combining immediate volumizing effects with long-term collagen stimulation. Its ability to restore volume, define facial features, and improve skin quality makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a natural-looking, youthful enhancement. With minimal downtime and lasting results, Radiesse provides a convenient and effective way to rejuvenate and sculpt your face.

How does it work?
How Radiesse Works for Facelift and Contouring:
1. Instant Volume Restoration
Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected into targeted areas, Radiesse instantly adds volume, lifting sagging skin and redefining facial contours. This immediate volumizing effect helps to smooth out lines and wrinkles, providing a refreshed and youthful appearance right after the treatment.
2. Collagen Stimulation
Beyond its immediate volumizing effects, Radiesse is unique in its ability to stimulate natural collagen production. The CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold, promoting the body’s own collagen production around the microspheres. This process continues for several months, resulting in long-lasting improvements in skin texture, firmness, and elasticity, making Radiesse an excellent choice for achieving long-term facial rejuvenation.
3. Facial Contouring
Radiesse is highly effective for enhancing and contouring facial features. It can be used to define the cheekbones, jawline, and chin, creating a more sculpted and balanced appearance. By adding volume to these key areas, Radiesse helps to improve the overall facial structure and symmetry, providing a natural-looking lift and contour.
4. Smooths Wrinkles and Lines
Radiesse is effective at addressing deep lines and folds, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the mouth to the chin). The filler smooths these wrinkles by restoring lost volume and providing a lifting effect, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Radiesse is suitable for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution for volume loss, facial sagging, or deep lines. It is ideal for those looking to enhance facial contours and achieve long-term rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures.
Procedure
The Radiesse treatment involves injecting the filler into targeted areas using fine needles. The procedure typically takes 30 to 45 minutes and is relatively comfortable, with most formulations containing local anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
Aftercare
Post-treatment, you may experience mild swelling or bruising, which usually resolves within a few days. There is minimal downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately.
Results and Longevity
• Immediate Effects: Radiesse provides visible results immediately after the treatment, with further improvements as collagen production continues.
• Long-Lasting Results: The effects of Radiesse can last from 12 to 18 months, depending on the treatment area and individual response. Collagen stimulation continues to improve skin texture and firmness over time.
• Maintenance: To maintain the results, periodic touch-up treatments may be recommended based on your aesthetic goals and the longevity of the filler.
