Don’t Want That Endless Tired Look? Try Radiesse Treatments by Your Dermatologist

Published on March 20, 2015

Over time, sagging skin, wrinkles, and loss of volume can create a tired looking face. Radiesse can help with this by restoring lost facial volume resulting in a more beautiful and youthful looking appearance.

What is the Radiesse injectable filler offered in NYC?

Radiesse is an injectable filler that can be injected by a licensed medical provider in certain areas of the face such as the jowls, cheeks, and under the eyes to plump up areas that have lost facial volume. By filling in facial lines and folds with Radiesse, the lines and folds will not only appear softened, but it can also prevent them from becoming deeper.

The contours of a youthful face look plump and supple. Radiesse can help give back lost volume and encourage collagen production within the skin. It will be injected via a very small needle by a doctor. After the injection, the site may be a bit sensitive. Avoiding the application of makeup, exposure to the sun, as well as massaging the area that was injected is necessary to help the filler settle.

Radiesse is recommended to fill in wrinkles and folds of the face, such as the nasolabial folds that extend from the corners of the nose down around the mouth area. Radiesse is a temporary filler, meaning that it will need to be maintained and additional injections will be needed after a few months to maintain the plump and youthful look that it gives. After getting an injection of Radiesse, the patient can expect to see a softened appearance of facial lines and folds. Like several dermal fillers, a full 24 hours is necessary to give the filler time to take on its full result. Some tenderness, swelling, and bruising may be seen after getting Radiesse injected, but these side effects will subside after a short period of time.
