Radiesse: The Secret to Youthful, Lifted Skin

Aging gracefully is possible with the right treatments to restore your skin’s natural elasticity and volume. At Aesthetics and Medical Lasers of Colorado, we offer Radiesse, a dermal filler that not only provides immediate lift but also stimulates collagen production for sustained, youthful-looking results. Let’s explore why Radiesse is a top choice for skin rejuvenation.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an FDA-approved injectable filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. Unlike traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse works on two levels: it provides instant volume and encourages the body to produce collagen, the essential protein that keeps skin firm and youthful. Ideal for treating moderate to severe wrinkles and restoring volume to the cheeks, midface, jawline, and hands, Radiesse helps achieve a smooth, natural look that lasts.

How Does Radiesse Work?

Radiesse works in two phases:

  1. Immediate Lift: The CaHA microspheres provide instant volume to fill wrinkles and lift sagging areas.
  2. Collagen Stimulation: Over time, the CaHA microspheres serve as a framework to encourage collagen production. This newly formed collagen remains even after the body gradually metabolizes the CaHA, giving you smoother, firmer skin that endures.

Benefits of Radiesse

  1. Immediate & Long-Lasting Results: Experience an instant lift with results that can last a year or longer.
  2. Natural-Looking Enhancement: Collagen stimulation provides a subtle, natural look that improves with time.
  3. Versatility: Effective on various areas including the cheeks, nasolabial folds, jawline, and hands.
  4. Minimal Downtime: Radiesse is a non-surgical option with minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your routine almost immediately.

What to Expect During Treatment

Radiesse treatment is quick, typically lasting about 30 minutes. We use a fine needle, and our trained specialists may apply a numbing agent for added comfort. Mild swelling or bruising may occur post-treatment, but these effects generally subside within a few days.

Who is a Good Candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse is suitable for adults looking to address moderate to severe wrinkles, volume loss, or those seeking hand rejuvenation. A consultation with our experts at Aesthetics and Medical Lasers of Colorado will help determine if Radiesse aligns with your goals.

Treatment Areas & Recommended Vials

Here’s a guide to the number of vials typically needed for Radiesse treatment in different areas:

  • Hands: 1-2 vials for both hands; estimated cost: $700–$2,000
  • Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines): 1-2 vials for moderate to deep folds; cost: $700–$2,000
  • Cheeks & Jawline: 1-2 vials per area; cost: $700–$2,000 per area

Note: Radiesse is not recommended for lips due to its thicker consistency. Hyaluronic acid fillers are preferred for this delicate area.

Factors Influencing Cost and Number of Vials

  1. Severity of Volume Loss: Pronounced wrinkles may require more product.
  2. Desired Results: Some patients prefer a conservative look, while others seek a dramatic lift.
  3. Provider Expertise & Clinic Location: Specialized expertise or high-demand locations may have higher costs per vial.

Common Treatment Areas for Radiesse

Radiesse is a versatile filler that effectively addresses various areas:

  • Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines): Smooths deep folds from the sides of the nose to mouth corners.
  • Marionette Lines: Fills lines that extend downward from mouth corners, reducing a sagging look.
  • Cheeks: Restores volume and adds a natural lift to the mid-face.
  • Jawline: Defines and contours the jawline, minimizing sagging or jowls.
  • Chin Wrinkles: Softens wrinkles and adds structure.
  • Hands: Adds volume to the hands, minimizing veins and tendons for a youthful look.

Safety and Potential Side Effects

Radiesse is well-tolerated, though some side effects may occur:

  • Mild Swelling & Redness: Common at injection sites; resolves within a few days.
  • Bruising: Minimized with post-treatment care.
  • Firmness or Lumpiness: Radiesse’s thicker consistency may sometimes cause a lumpy feeling, especially if injected improperly.
  • Nodule Formation: Rarely, small nodules may form under the skin.
  • Infection: Rare, but possible if injections are not performed under sterile conditions.

Choosing an experienced provider reduces the risk of complications. Our team at Aesthetics and Medical Lasers of Colorado uses advanced techniques to ensure a safe, comfortable experience.

FAQs

  • How long do Radiesse results last?

  • Are there side effects?
    Side effects are typically mild and may include swelling, bruising, or redness, which usually resolves within a few days.
  • Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?
    Yes, Radiesse complements other fillers and aesthetic treatments. Our experts will create a personalized plan to meet your goals.

Why Choose Radiesse?

Radiesse is an exceptional filler for both instant lift and extended results. Its collagen-stimulating benefits make it a top choice for patients looking to enhance areas like cheeks, jawline, or hands with a reliable, durable filler.

Nasolabial folds, commonly known as smile lines, are the creases that run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These lines deepen with age due to collagen loss, volume depletion, and repetitive facial expressions. If you’re looking for a long-lasting and natural-looking solution, Radiesse, Voluma, and Volbella are three excellent dermal fillers to consider.

Understanding the Differences: Radiesse vs. Voluma vs. Volbella

  1. Composition:
  • Radiesse: Made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. It provides immediate volume and stimulates collagen production over time.
  • Voluma: A hyaluronic acid (HA) filler from the Juvederm line. It is thicker and designed for deep volume restoration in the cheeks, chin, and jawline.
  • Volbella: Also an HA filler, but much softer and more flexible, making it ideal for delicate areas like lips and fine lines around the mouth.
  1. Best Uses:
  • Radiesse: Best for nasolabial folds, jawline contouring, and hand rejuvenation. It offers both immediate correction and long-term collagen stimulation.
  • Voluma: Designed for lifting and contouring the cheeks, chin, and jawline. It lasts longer than many HA fillers due to its thicker consistency.
  • Volbella: Specifically formulated for subtle lip enhancement, smoothing lip lines, and fine wrinkles around the mouth.
  1. Longevity:
  • Radiesse: Lasts 12 to 18 months, with continued collagen benefits even after the filler is absorbed.
  • Voluma: Lasts up to 2 years, making it one of the longest-lasting HA fillers.
  • Volbella: Lasts around 12 months, due to its softer formulation.
  1. How They Work:
  • Radiesse provides immediate volume and continues to work by stimulating natural collagen, improving skin elasticity over time.
  • Voluma provides deep structural support and hydration but does not stimulate collagen.
  • Volbella integrates smoothly into the skin for a soft, natural feel in delicate areas.

What to Expect During Treatment

Each filler treatment is quick, typically taking 30 to 45 minutes. A topical or local anesthetic is used to ensure comfort. The filler is then injected into the targeted areas using fine needles or cannulas. Most patients experience minimal swelling or bruising, and results are immediately visible with continued improvement over the following months.

Which One is Right for You?

  • Choose Radiesse if you want both immediate volume and long-term collagen stimulation, especially for deeper folds and jawline contouring.
  • Choose Voluma if you want long-lasting volume and lift in the midface (cheeks, chin, jawline).
  • Choose Volbella if you want a subtle, natural enhancement for lips and fine lines.
