Radiesse
Often, as we get older, we can develop facial folds and creases and some areas of the face may appear hollow.
Radiesse is a long lasting injectable implant/dermal filler, which is composed of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, suspended in a gel carrier. These microspheres, once injected, provide a scaffolding, into which the body’s own tissue can grow, thereby maintaining the implant in place.
CaHA is a biomaterial with over twenty years of use in orthopaedics, neurosurgery, dentistry and ophthalmology and is the primary mineral constituent of bone and teeth. Radiesse is created by suspending CaHA in a common water based carrier. Because the characteristics are similar to bone and teeth, it is naturally compatible with the body. Radiesse is synthetic and man made, similar to a calcium phosphate and has been extensively tested in clinical trials for over 7 years, with good safety and efficacy results
Radiesse can be used on many different areas of the face including:
- Glabella(wrinkles between the eyebrows)
- Nasolabial folds (laughter lines)
- Radial lip lines
- Chin/cheek augmentation
- Depressed scars
- Restoring bulk to ageing/hollowed tissue
The procedure for administering Radiesse is straightforward and will
take around 15-30 minutes. It involves simple injections to the area
being treated. Prior to the injections a local anaesthetic may be administered
to eliminate pain.
After the procedure, some patients resume normal activities immediately, although others prefer to wait for 24 hours, as swelling or redness may occur at the site of the injection.
Depending on the area being treated, patients will usually see results that last between 1-2 years. However, individual results may vary, depending on a number of factors including age, lifestyle and skin type.
