Radiesse
Radiesse is a long lasting dermal filler that smoothes out treats wrinkles, smile lines, furrows and scars by supplementing your skin’s depleted collagen. It consists of tiny microspheres of a synthetic material called calcium hydroxylapatite, suspended within a water-based gel which remains soft and pliable. Calcium hydroxylapatite is the synthetic form of a normal constituent of bone, so it does not elicit an allergic reaction. Radiesse is a safe, effective, time-tested, in-office wrinkle treatment that provides immediate and lasting results.
At Shin Family Medical Clinic, we use Radiesse for the following procedures:
• Nasolabial folds, smile lines, and wrinkles at the corner of the mouth
• Wrinkles around the mouth and lips
• Lip enhancement
• Restoring volume in and around the cheeks
• Reducing acne scarring, facial defects, and recessions
• Non-surgical nose job
• Correction of assymetrical facial features
The Procedure. A Radiesse treatment takes about thirty minutes. First the area is anesthetized with a topical or local anesthetic, then Radiesse is injected just under the skin through a tiny needle. The results with Radiesse are immediate, so you can determine at first glance if you are happy with the result or if you would like more Radiesse injected. Usually one treatment is sufficient because Radiesse is not absorbed by your body and is long lasting.
Results. Results are immediate. Depending on the area treated, most of your correction may last for several months or years, though some touch-up treatments may be necessary. Patients are up and around immediately after receiving their Radiesse treatments. You can expect greatly improved wrinkles, enhanced lips or smoothed-out depressed scars.
