Radiesse ® is a safe, FDA-approved cosmetic dermal filler used to eliminate facial lines and wrinkles, restoring a natural, youthful look. Newport Beach surgeon, Dr. Savalia uses Radiesse to correct smile lines, Nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth.
Radiesse naturally and safely promotes growth of your own collagen. Smooth, pearl-like microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite are dissolved in a soft gel which is injected by Dr. Savalia into wrinkles, smile lines, marionette lines, cheeks, scars and other facial areas. These microspheres are slowly dissolved by the body into naturally occurring calcium and phosphate ions.
Treatments typically last 10-20 minutes and are usually painless. Depending on the areas treated, more than one syringe may be needed to create the best look possible. Enhancements are recommended 6 to 8 weeks after a treatment to "fine-tune" your results and produce longer lasting improvement.
After a Radiesse injection, you might experience some tenderness, redness, itching, bruising, bumps, pain or swelling. These symptoms typically resolve within a few day
How long will results from Radiesse treatments last?
Results from Radiesse typically last 2 to 3 times longer than hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. While Restylane and Juvederm are still the fillers of choice for lips and fine lines, Radiesse is often the best choice for treating other facial areas. Radiesse is also used in combination with chemical peels and Botox® for optimal results.
