Dermal filler injectable procedures for the rejuvenation of facial skin, such as Radiesse, presently ranks as the second most popular non-surgical cosmetic dermatology treatments in the US after Botox.
Radiesse is a robust dermal filler injectable treatment. It has received FDA-approval to add temporary fullness to depleted areas of the face and reduce the effects of aging on the skin.
The main component of Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite. This element differentiates Radiesse from various other filler treatments and offers more sustainable outcomes with a single in-office treatment.
Besides offering long-lasting outcomes, Radiesse dermal filler injectable treatment creates natural-looking results by filling in deep creases and wrinkles in various areas of the face. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides facial filler injections to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding communities.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) refers to a synthetic but completely biocompatible ingredient that has been used safely and predictably by medical professionals for more than two decades. The Radiesse gel contains microspheres of 25 to 45 diameter CaHA microns that are suspended within it.
The provider will use small injections to deliver this gel beneath the skin. Radiesse offers facial enhancement by eliminating the appearance of moderate to severe facial creases and folds. Patients with facial volume loss because of disease or other reasons may also benefit from Radiesse.
Radiesse dermal tissue filler provides sustainable improvements in various facial sites to address problems such as nasolabial folds and glabellar lines. It also offers sub-dermal support to areas such as tear troughs, marionette lines, brows, nose, perioral area, chin, and lips. In addition, it can effectively soften the appearance of saucerized acne scars.
Longevity of Results
A single Radiesse dermal filler medical spa treatment provides anti-aging results to patients that can last for up to two years. Standard dermal filler injectable treatments comprising hyaluronic acid typically provide results that can last from six months to one year.
Radiesse, in comparison, offers outcomes that can sustain for a longer period as it contains CaHA microspheres. This enables the volume from the procedure to last for a prolonged duration.
When Radiesse is injected as tiny microspheres, it creates a type of scaffolding that promotes the development of new tissue which is similar to the surrounding tissue.
After the CaHA particles reach the deeper layers of the dermis, it encourages the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. Radiesse creates this new fibroblastic in-growth without calcification, which offers the patient sustainable and natural-looking outcomes.
New collagen production develops volume in the deep tissue layers within the treated areas. This offers patients the dual advantages of instant volumizing and production of new collagen over time, enabling Radiesse outcomes to last longer than standard dermal fillers.
Touch-ups with Radiesse
Radiesse offers another benefit, which is that the remaining, unused contents of a gel syringe can be recapped and stored for use on the same patient within the next three months.
