Radiesse is one of our injectable options at Trouvaille Med Spa, and this treatment can subtly refresh areas on the face and hands that have started to show aging signs. If you are interested in rejuvenating your features, let us guide you to the right services through our consultations in Bourbonnais, IL.  

What Is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a water-based gel, targeting common wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. It offers immediate volume and support and can also enhance facial contours like cheeks and jaw lines for a natural lift. Beyond filling wrinkles, Radiesse promotes collagen production, blending with skin tissue to enhance texture and elasticity over time.

How Does Radiesse Work?

  • Radiesse As a Dermal Filler: Dermal fillers restore lost volume and smooth out lines. Radiesse offers these benefits by providing immediate volume to injected areas, helping to smooth out wrinkles and folds for a more youthful look.
  • Radiesse As a Biostimulator: As a biostimulator, Radiesse goes beyond traditional fillers by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. This process not only enhances immediate results but also contributes to longer-lasting skin rejuvenation.

What Are Some of the Benefits of Radiesse?

Smooths Away Smile Lines

Smile lines can cause noticeable creases to form from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Radiesse can add volume to this area to decrease the depth of smile lines right away while improving the texture of the skin over time. 

Reduces Marionette Lines

Marionette lines can create a downturned expression that can make you look older or unhappy. Radiesse filler targets these lines directly, providing lift and structure to minimize their appearance. The filler’s unique composition allows for a natural-looking restoration of the area.

Uplifts Corners of the Mouth

Drooping corners of the mouth can be lifted and revitalized through Radiesse injections. This treatment addresses the sagging skin and loss of volume that contribute to a tired look, offering an instant uplift.

Softens Pre-Jowl Folds

Pre-jowl folds on either side of the chin can develop as skin begins to sag with age. Radiesse filler can provide a smoother transition from the chin to the jaw. This enhancement can refresh the whole lower face and soften the impact of aging in this area.

Minimizes Chin Wrinkles

Both the short-term and the long-term effects of Radiesse can reduce chin wrinkles, which can detract from the smoothness of the lower facial area. By filling in these lines and improving the skin’s overall structure, the appearance of the chin becomes smoother and more refined. This approach not only targets the wrinkles themselves but also contributes to a firmer, more youthful-looking chin area.

Rejuvenates Hands

Hands can show signs of aging as much as the face, with visible veins, tendons, and loss of volume. Radiesse treatments for the hands can create a smoother surface on the hands and give them a more youthful texture.

Enhances Jawline Definition

For those seeking a more defined jawline, strategic placement of filler can reshape the contour of the lower face, offering a sharper, more pronounced jawline. This structural definition can help to balance your face and give it better contours.

The Radiesse Difference

  • No Downtime: Patients appreciate the convenience of Radiesse, which allows for an immediate return to daily activities, offering a practical solution for those seeking cosmetic improvements with no recovery time.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Radiesse offers a subtle yet effective rejuvenation, creating results that enhance natural beauty without altering one’s inherent appearance, for a refreshed yet authentic look.
  • Two Benefits in One: Most injectable treatments offer either immediate filling or long-term collagen-stimulating effects. Radiesse is unique in its ability to offer both. 

A Few Common Questions About Radiesse

How Long Does Radiesse Last?

Radiesse treatments typically offer results that can last up to a year or even longer in some cases. Over time, the body naturally absorbs the product while continuing to benefit from the collagen stimulation, which contributes to the longevity of the treatment effects. Regular follow-up sessions can help maintain the desired outcomes.

Are Radiesse Injections Painful?

While discomfort is minimal for most patients, toleration during biostimulator injections like Radiesse can vary. The product is mixed with a local anesthetic to reduce any potential discomfort during the treatment.

How Do I Know If Radiesse Is Right for Me?

Determining if Radiesse filler is the right choice involves a consultation with us to assess your skin’s condition, discuss your aesthetic goals, and review your medical history. Radiesse is suitable for individuals looking for a non-surgical option to address wrinkles, volume loss, and facial contouring and is good for those who have good expectations, have no active skin infections, and are in good overall health. 

How Can I Prepare for My Radiesse Treatment?

Preparing for Radiesse injections involves following a few simple guidelines to minimize any potential for bruising or swelling. It’s recommended to avoid medications and supplements that can thin the blood, such as aspirin, NSAIDs, and fish oil, for a week prior to treatment. Staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol the day before and the day of your treatment can also be beneficial.
