Radiesse: Achieve Immediate & Long-Lasting Volume
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler that not only provides immediate volume correction but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, offering long-lasting facial rejuvenation. Made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, Radiesse is ideal for addressing moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds, and volume loss. Its robust formulation makes it particularly effective for contouring and lifting facial features, providing results that can last up to a year or more.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse works in two phases. Initially, the CaHA microspheres in Radiesse provide instant volume and lift to the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and folds. Over time, these microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, which helps maintain and extend the results as the gel is absorbed and replaced by new collagen. This dual action makes Radiesse a powerful option for those seeking both immediate and long-term facial rejuvenation.
Common Treatment Areas:
Radiesse is versatile and can be used to enhance various areas of the face and body, including:
Cheeks: Restores volume to sunken cheeks, creating a fuller, more youthful contour.
Jawline: Enhances and defines the jawline, adding structure and contour.
Hands: Rejuvenates aging hands by restoring volume and reducing the appearance of veins and tendons.
Neck & Decolletage
Stretch marks: improves the loss of collagen while also giving volume.
Arms, Thighs, Hip dips, and glutes: increases volume and improves skin texture
Benefits of Radiesse?
- Immediate Volume: Radiesse provides instant lift and contour to the treated areas, improving the appearance of wrinkles and volume loss right away.
- Long-Lasting Results: The effects of Radiesse can last up to a year or more, thanks to its ability to stimulate natural collagen production.
- Collagen Stimulation: Radiesse not only adds volume but also encourages your body to produce its own collagen, leading to longer-lasting, natural results.
- Versatile Applications: Suitable for treating both facial and body volume loss, making it a multi-purpose solution.
- Non-Surgical: A minimally invasive procedure with little to no downtime, offering a quick and effective alternative to surgery.
What to Expect During Radiesse Treatment?
- Consultation: A thorough consultation with one of Jules medical providers to discuss your goals and assess your facial structure. The provider will determine the appropriate treatment plan, including the number of sessions required after evaluating your volume loss and skin elasticity.
- Procedure: Radiesse is injected into the targeted areas using a needle or cannula on specific areas of the face or body. The procedure typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
- Aftercare: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection sites but typically resolves within a few days. Patients can resume their normal routine right after treatment, but should refrain from any strenuous activities for the first 48 hours. It is advised to not apply any pressure to the face, and to sleep upright the first evening following treatment.
