RADIESSE®
Every person’s skin has contours, features, and characteristics that are unique to them. Many people want their skin to hold a soft, smooth, youthful appearance for as long as possible. However, as you naturally age, collagen and elastin production slow down, causing the skin to wrinkle, sag, and lose youthful volume. It can be frustrating to see lines, wrinkles, and folds form on your skin, and it can often make people feel like they no longer look like themselves.
If you are bothered by aging signs developing on your lower face, jawline, and neck, you may want to consider RADIESSE® treatment. RADIESSE® injections are performed in Denver, Colorado, to help patients smooth out aging signs and restore lost volume.
What Is RADIESSE®?
RADIESSE® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical, dermal filler treatment that can be used to smooth wrinkles, lines, and folds as well as restore volume loss. The filler consists of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) and provides immediately visible results. RADIESSE® injections can treat wrinkles and folds in the lower face, restore lost volume in the hands, and improve jawline definition.
Why Choose RADIESSE® Treatment?
As you age, you’ll naturally lose collagen and elastin in your skin. If you are bothered by wrinkles, folds, and volume loss, you may seek out a rejuvenation treatment to improve your skin’s quality and appearance.
Benefits of RADIESSE® injections may include:
- Smoothing smile lines, Marionette lines, and chin wrinkles
- Reducing pre-jowl folds along the jawline
- Adding volume to the hands to make veins and tendons less apparent
What Are My RADIESSE® Options?
RADIESSE® injections are FDA-approved to be used on the lower face, jawline, and hands. If you’re determined as a good candidate for RADIESSE®, a treatment plan will be created with details about how much will be injected into your skin and what areas will be targeted.
Lower Face
After years of smiling and using various facial expressions, the nasolabial folds (sometimes called smile lines) tend to deepen. Lines can form at the corners of your mouth, giving your lips a downturned appearance, sometimes making you look angry or sad. Sometimes, lines develop under the mouth, creating a scowling appearance. Wrinkles can form on the chin, drawing unwanted attention. RADIESSE® injections can smooth out wrinkles in these lower face regions, enhancing your features and giving you a more youthful look.
Jawline
As you age, it’s normal to experience some facial volume changes. Some people experience facial volume loss on the sides of the chin, causing the skin to sag and fold over the jawline. RADIESSE® treatment can help reduce pre-jowl folds and redefine the jawline to enhance your facial structure.
Hands
Your hands can show signs of aging just as easily as your face. Over time, you may lose volume in your hands, which can make veins and tendons in the hands appear more prominent. RADIESSE® can restore lost volume and give your hands a softer, more youthful appearance.
Am I a Candidate for RADIESSE® Injections?
You might be a candidate for RADIESSE® treatment if you:
- Want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds
- Want to address signs of aging in the lower face and/or face
- Are not allergic to lidocaine or similar medicines
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have realistic expectations for treatment
Schedule a consultation with Colorado Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery to determine if you’re a good candidate for RADIESSE® treatment.
How Is RADIESSE® Treatment Performed?
Your RADIESSE® treatment will be customized to target your areas of concern. During your appointment, you can expect the following:
- Your treatment plan will be reviewed.
- Before the injections are administered, a numbing cream will be applied to the skin to make you feel more comfortable.
- The RADIESSE® treatment will be injected into the dermal and subcutaneous skin layers. The CaHA in the injections will help to boost collagen and elastin production.
What Is RADIESSE® Recovery Like?
After RADIESSE® injections, you can expect minimal downtime. There may be some swelling and redness in the treatment areas. We recommend avoiding exercise, strenuous physical activity, and sun exposure for at least 24 hours after your RADIESSE® treatment.
When Will I See My RADIESSE® Results?
As soon as the treatment is injected, there will be visible improvements in your wrinkles and lines. Many patients can enjoy their natural-looking, youthful results for a year or more after treatment.
