• RadiesseTM

What is RadiesseTM?

RadiesseTM is a long-lasting, natural and non-invasive solution to diminishing lines and restoring vitality to your skin. RadiesseTM is a creamy gel made with a synthetic form of calcium hydroxylapitite that can be injected into the skin to fill in facial folds, wrinkles and depressions. Calcium hydroxylapitite is a primary component of teeth and bones and has been used safely for years in dentistry and orthopedic surgery.

Your Radiesse TM Consultation…

One of our licensed physicians will meet with you and evaluate your skin, take your medical history and ask about any current medications you are taking. Your physician will discuss with you the RadiesseTM process in detail, answer all of your questions and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Since calcium hydroxylapitite is a substance that is already in your body, no allergy testing is necessary.

The Radiesse Procedure…

Your physician will perform the RadiesseTM treatment. A local anesthetic will be used. Your physician will gently inject the creamy gel into your skin. After RadiesseTM is injected, the gel will build up your skin tissue and fill in and restore fullness to lines, wrinkles and scars. Over time, the gel will be absorbed naturally into the skin. The RadiessTM process is virtually painless and can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, depending on the area that is involved. The results can be seen immediately.

Radiesse TM Recovery…

You may experience some mild swelling for the first day after your RadiesseTM treatment. Ice can be used to diminish any swelling. Normal activities can begin immediately after treatment.
