Radiesse Filler Treatments
The Radiesse dermal filler range by Merz Aesthetics is a great option for patients with deep wrinkles and other signs of aging. This filler is available in prefilled 0.8ml and 1.5ml syringes, with or without lidocaine. This injectable solution helps restore volume to the skin, smoothing out moderate to deep facial lines and wrinkles. Comprised of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, it provides instant and long-lasting results.
What to expect?
After your Radiesse injections, you may experience redness and swelling, bruising may also be visible. You may experience tenderness at injection site for a few days after your treatment. Depending upon the areas treated and products used, you may feel “firmness” in the treated areas for 1 to 2 weeks after treatment. Over time, the areas will soften and “settle.” For discomfort you may take Tylenol. Arnica creams can be topically applied to aid bruising, swelling and pain after treatment.
What are the benefits?
When Radiesse is injected, the thick Radiesse beads create a scaffolding under the skin, that stimulates new collagen production. Radiesse is ideal for correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, enhancing/lifting and the cheeks and jaw, and replenishing volume loss.
