Revive Youthful Skin with Radiesse Benefits
Are you weary of seeing wrinkles and fine lines whenever you look in the mirror? Discover the rejuvenating power of Radiesse. This FDA-approved dermal filler not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates your own collagen production for long-term benefits. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Radiesse effectively combats signs of aging, from smile lines to hollow cheeks. It’s time to reclaim your youthful vitality.
If you’re in the New Jersey or Philadelphia area, you’re in luck. Plenty of reputable providers offer Radiesse injections. But before you schedule your appointment, it’s important to understand how Radiesse works, what to expect during the procedure, and how to care for your skin afterward.
What is Radiesse and How Does It Work?
Radiesse is a dermal filler treatment that reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles and restores volume loss. It is made up of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a gel-like substance and injected into areas of the face that need to be filled out or smoothed out. Once injected, Radiesse stimulates collagen production and helps fill in wrinkles, lines, and deep folds. The results are immediate and can last up to 12 months depending on your body’s metabolism.
When applied by an experienced medical professional, Radiesse injections can provide natural-looking results with minimal discomfort. During the procedure, the provider often uses an anesthetic to ensure patient comfort. Afterward, patients may experience some temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site that will subside within a few days.
The key to getting optimal results from Radiesse is understanding your individual needs and finding an experienced provider who can help you achieve them safely and effectively. With proper care after the treatment (including avoiding direct sunlight and applying moisturizer regularly), you can enjoy long-lasting results from Radiesse injections for up to 1 year or more.
Am I a Good Fit for a Radiesse Application?
Before considering a Radiesse injection, you should discuss your medical history and treatment options with an experienced provider. Your provider will assess your individual needs to determine whether Radiesse is the right solution for you. The provider will consider factors such as age, skin type, severe allergies, and overall health before deciding if Radiesse injections are a good fit for you. In addition, your provider may recommend additional treatments such as clinical studies to enhance or extend the results of the procedure.

Radiesse FAQs
Before getting any injectable treatment, you should talk to your doctor to determine if you’re a good candidate for the procedure. During this consultation, you will discuss your goals and expectations, and your doctor will examine the injection area to determine the number of treatments needed to achieve your desired outcome. You should also inform your doctor of any medications or supplements you’re taking, as some may affect Radiesse’s effectiveness. You should avoid taking aspirin or ibuprofen a week before the injections to reduce bruising or bleeding at the injection sites. You should also refrain from drinking alcohol before and after the procedure as it can reduce effectiveness. Follow all pre-treatment instructions provided by Dr. Becker to minimize any risks associated with Radiesse injections.
The frequency of Radiesse treatments will depend on your individual needs and desired results. Generally speaking, it is recommended that patients receive Radiesse injections once every 6 to 12 months to maintain optimal results. However, some may need more frequent treatments if their skin has a rapid aging process or if the desired outcomes are not being met. It’s important to consult with your doctor as they can determine the best course of action for you based on your specific needs.
The number of Radiesse syringes needed for a particular treatment depends on the severity of the facial lines and desired cosmetic results. Generally, when treating moderate to severe facial lines, two or more syringes may be required to achieve the desired outcome. Additionally, depending on the area being treated and individual needs, certain patients may require additional injections over time to maintain long-term safety and efficacy. You must consult with an experienced provider who can accurately assess your condition to determine how many Radiesse syringes are necessary for optimal results. With their guidance, your treatment will be optimized for both short-term and long-term success.
Radiesse injections typically take about 15 minutes.
