Radiesse®
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Radiesse® is a wrinkle filler used to add volume to the skin over time. It is comprised of Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Once Radiesse® is injected, it provides immediate volume but continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen. Over time, the gel is absorbed by the body, leaving behind only your own natural collagen.
Who is a Radiesse® Candidate?
Adults who have smile lines, marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, corners of the mouth, and chin wrinkles can often benefit from Radiesse®. Ideal candidates will be healthy with realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure. Because Radiesse® is biocompatible, clients do not need to undergo allergy testing prior to treatment.
The Radiesse® Procedure
During your Radiesse® treatment, a small, thin needle is used to inject the Radiesse® into the treatment areas. This treatment is usually well-tolerated, and no topical anesthetic is required. The entire treatment session generally lasts less than 30 minutes.
What to Expect After Radiesse®
Following your Radiesse® treatment, you will see an immediate lift in the treatment areas. You may experience swelling, bruising, or bleeding at the treatment site. However, there is little to no downtime required following injections, so you can resume your everyday activities right away. Results from Radiesse® can last up to a year or more in many patients.
