This filler is made up of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel. These microspheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. Radiesse is able to not only fill but restore lost volume.
This is an in-office procedure with no down time. You will have a topical numbing on for 30 minutes prior to the procedure. The procedure itself will take approximately 30minutes. The use of a local anesthetic is also used to decrease any discomfort.
Instant volume and beautiful results! You may have some mild redness and swelling but that typically resolves quickly and can be easily covered up with makeup. Radiesse may last a year or more in many patients. The calcium-based microspheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed by your body.
The most normal side effects are an injection-related reaction, such as mild irritation, swelling, itching, bruising, or tenderness. All are mild in nature, and their duration is short lasting (7 days or less).
Our doctors do all of the Radiesse injections on their patients. Only a licensed professional with the knowledge, training, and tested skills should administer Radiesse. Both physicians are Board Certified Dermatologist and have extensive training in cosmetic dermatology.
Ark-La-Tex Dermatology stands out in the cosmetic industry because we do not rely on ancillary medical staff to administer any dermal filler. You deserve the best possible care.
