Radiesse Treatment

After the treatment area is injected with Radiesse, the skin starts growing cells around the hydroxyapatite particles and your own collagen production is stimulated through collagenosis. This process goes on after the initial treatment. And the results last as long as 9-12 months or longer.

Radiesse has been approved by DHA & FDA for fine line and wrinkle treatment, as well as hand rejuvenation. For smoother results and additional Radiesse skin tightening, Radiesse is mostly hyper diluted with saline solution and lidocaine. Hyper Diluted Radiesse is usually applied to hands, neck and body. As for hands, undiluted Radiesse is used for skin rejuvenation and lost volume replacement purposes. Hands give away one’s age and are worn and torn from daily tasks, thus Radiesse is a great solution to bring back the youthfulness of our hands.

As for wrinkles, stretch marks, crepiness, collagen production is stimulated by hyper diluted Radiesse, perfecting the overall quality and appearance of the skin in the Radiesse neck, decollage, and buttocks.

With Radiesse the risk of side effects, e.g. allergic reactions, is really low, as calcium hydroxyapatite is naturally present in the body. No downtime is required after Sculptra injections, which means the patients can go back to their daily activities without having to postpone anything or take time off from work. Mostly, there is no tendency of adverse side effects among patients, proven by Radiesse fillers before and after results.

The overall process of Radiesse face filler treatment takes a short time and is relatively painless. Prior to your treatment you will have a scheduled one on one consultation with Doctor in CIDK with a chance to raise your questions and concerns, discuss the problem areas and treatment options. During the personalized consultation Doctor in CIDK will get introduced to your medical history and other decisive factors, like your physical anatomy and current skincare regimen. This information will help him determine the best treatment plan for you. The details discussed during the consultation are of high importance, serving as the basis for Doctor in CIDK to establish which filler and injection technique will be the most optimal to achieve your desired results.

In order to reduce the risk of bruising, it is highly recommended to stop using blood thinners, e.g. aspirin, before the treatment. As a rule, the treatment area is cleaned and properly sanitized before administering the injections, to avoid any possible risk of infection. Afterwards, Doctor in CIDK injects the Radiesse underneath the surface of your skin. To lessen any discomfort or pain, topical numbing cream containing lidocaine may be applied on the treatment area 15 minutes prior to the treatment. However, this mainly depends on the treatment area. Radiesse itself contains a small amount of lidocaine which makes the overall experience more tolerable compared to that of other dermal fillers not containing lidocaine. After the procedure you will be given an ice pack that helps with swelling, allowing you to resume your regular activities if necessary. If there are any bruises observed the following day of the treatment, it is advised to apply a warm compress on the area of treatment to reduce the bruising and quicken the healing process. And lastly, make sure to avoid vigorous workout and too much exposure to sun during the first two days after the treatment.

Once your Radiesse treatment is completed, you should be able to notice the increase in volume right away. However, several weeks will be needed for the full and final result to take shape and form as the volume continues to grow after the treatment. The final effect lasts for about 9-12 months. The results achieved by Hyperdilute Radiesse are soft and very natural-looking, giving you a more rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. All dermal fillers, including Radiesse, pose the possible risk of swelling and bruising after the treatment, which however subside in a matter of 3 – 7 days. On the first day after the procedure it is advised to continue applying an ice pack, followed by hot compress the next day to reduce swelling and any signs of bruising.

The results of Radiesse treatment are temporary and last anywhere from 9 months to a year. For maintenance purposes, Doctor in CIDK recommends continuing with annual follow up sessions to touch up the filler already metabolized by the body. The results will remain until the filler is naturally metabolized by the body as Radiesse is not a hyaluronic acid based filler.

If you are interested in the longevity of Radiesse filler, how long it lasts, please be aware that the results typically last from 9 months up to a year and sometimes even more than a year. Doctor in CIDK’s general recommendation is keeping the consistency of annual follow up appointments every 9 – 12 months for touch up sessions. This will allow you to maintain your results, not letting them fully fade.

After administering the injections, Doctor in CIDK massages the treatment area to mold the filler and to prevent uneven accumulation of the filler causing bumps and lumps in the area of treatment. As a result of swelling the treatment area may feel hard. This is not a reason to worry as the hardness will go away in a matter of a couple of days after the treatment. Experience has proven that Radiesse softens during the first few weeks after the initial treatment.
