How does Radiesse work?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable gel made of calcium hydroxylapatite, a bio-compatible substance that works with your body to improve the volume and tone of your skin. Once injected, it instantaneously fills in lines and wrinkles. At the same time, it initiates skin’s natural collagen production, which continues for months to come. As Radiesse particles get metabolized by your skin, they are replaced by newly formed collagen fibers. This process of new collagen formation increase skin’s volume resulting in healthier and younger looking skin.

What does Radiesse treatment entail?

We refer to Radiesse treatment as a “lunch time” procedure because it typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes, is minimally invasive and typically requires no recovery time. Prior to the procedure, your medical provider will examine your skin to select appropriate treatment locations. Injections are quick and very comfortable. After injecting Radiesse into the targeted areas, your provider might gently massage the treatment area to work the gel into your skin.

Does the treatment hurt?

Most patients find the injections to be only mildly uncomfortable. If you have found shots to be painful in the past, you can request a local anesthetic, which will help to alleviate any discomfort.
