It can treat marionette lines, smile lines, chin wrinkles, pre-jowl folds, and fine lines that form in the corners of the lips. Radiesse is also safe to address volume that is often lost with age in the hands to make them softer and more youthful. You shouldn't receive this treatment if you have an allergy to lidocaine or other ingredients found in the injectable. Be sure to talk to us if you have any allergies (whether mild or severe) and any medical disorders or conditions. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, might become pregnant, or are trying to conceive in the next several years, you shouldn't get Radiesse injections.

Radiesse injections are performed in a treatment room in around 30 – 60 minutes once you have completed your consultation. First, you will be seated in a relaxed position as the injection sites are cleaned and marked. Many patients feel only mild discomfort throughout the procedure at the first prick of the needle, but, if needed, a numbing agent will be applied to the treatment sites. The Radiesse dose, selected during your consultation, will be placed in a fine needle. The pre-marked site of injection will guide the injector to carefully administer Radiesse into the skin. After the treatment is complete, a compress can be held to the treated areas to alleviate bruising and swelling.

Following your treatment, you may have some redness, bruising, and swelling. This is normal and should last for around a week. these side effects may typically be concealed with cosmetics. If the bruising, swelling, or redness lasts longer than ten days or if you are concerned, please contact our office. Many patients have visible results right away, with final results appearing in a month or so. Your face will look softer, younger, and have a natural glow. Radiesse typically lasts longer compared to other dermal fillers, with improvements for around 1 – 2 years. You can talk to your surgeon at the appointment about how soon to get your next injection to touch up your results.
