Radiesse is a dermal filler that can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and skin folds around the mouth and nose, and fills some types of scars.
The Radiesse ProcedureIf you are having Radiesse performed, it will be done right in your doctor's office. It most cases it is done with a local anesthesia. You may experience minimal discomfort from the needle injection. Depending on the areas being treated, the procedure can take up to 15 minutes. You can return home immediately following your procedure.
Your doctor will select one or more injection points for each location to be treated. Antiseptic is also applied. Next your doctor will identify the correct amount of Radiesse for the procedure. And finally, the Radiesse filler is then injected beneath the skin, under the dermis and subcutis layer.
Radiesse ResultsYou should be able to see significant results within one week. Radiesse filler can last two years or more, but touchups may be required throughout this time period.
RecoveryYou may experience minimal swelling, which usually subsides in 24 to 36 hours. There may also be some discomfort and bruising. The discomfort can be managed with over-the-counter medications. Normal activities can be resumed immediately; however, you will be advised to stay out of the sun.
