Radiesse Specialist

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance that naturally occurs in your body. Radiesse injections restore lost volume in your face and hands and enhance your body’s ability to form new collagen. The injections help:

• Plump and lift your cheeks
• Rejuvenate and plump your hands
• Soften facial folds
• Smooth wrinkles
• Reduce deep lines and wrinkles

When choosing Radiesse for facial rejuvenation, you’ll look years younger without surgery or downtime.

How does Radiesse work?

Radiesse rejuvenates your skin in various ways. When your provider injects naturally occurring calcium hydroxylapatite beneath the skin, it produces immediate volume and stimulates new collagen production. Over time, skin tissue absorbs Radiesse gel and metabolizes calcium hydroxylapatite but maintains its collagen.

Radiesse and other calcium hydroxylapatite fillers are thicker and last longer than hyaluronic acid fillers. Most patients experience desirable results from Radiesse for up to 12 months or longer.

What should I expect during Radiesse injections?

Before Radiesse injections, you’ll complete a pre-treatment consultation at Genesis Medical to determine which aesthetic treatment best matches your needs.

During treatment, your provider cleans the area and gives you a topical anesthetic if needed to numb the area for your comfort.

Radiesse is approved to be injected into skin tissue in your face or hands. Results may be immediate; however, optimal results appear after new collagen formulation.

What happens after treatment?

There is no downtime after Radiesse injections, so you can resume normal daily activities right away. However, your provider might recommend you avoid strenuous physical activity the day of treatment. You may experience temporary side effects, such as:

• Mild bruising
• Swelling
• Redness
• Tenderness
• Itching
• Bumps or lumps

These symptoms eventually disappear as your skin heals after Radiesse injections. If you’re ready for a more youthful appearance without cutting, surgery, toxins, or downtime, call Genesis Medical for a consultation or use the online scheduler today.
