Rediesse Dermal Filler
Revitalizing Beauty With The Marvels of Radiesse
The function of all Dermal Fillers is to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance or change contours. In the realm of cosmetic enhancements, Radiesse® by Merz Aesthetics is a bit unique. Dermal Fillers "fill" of course, but there is more to Radiesse® that first meets the eye: It's less of a filler, and more of a growth factor.
Radiesse® is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. When injected beneath the skin's surface, Radiesse® provides immediate volume and lift while stimulating the body's natural collagen production. Over time, the microspheres gradually break down and are metabolized by the body, leaving behind a framework of new collagen for long-lasting results. This innovative mechanism of action ensures natural-looking and sustainable improvements in facial volume and contour. The use of the water in the solution actually helps the injector gauge the final result. After a day or two the water is absorbed into the body, leaving the Radiesse® to foster collagen growth over a several month period.
Whether you're looking to restore lost volume in the cheeks, rejuvenate hollow temples, or smooth out nasolabial folds and marionette lines, Radiesse® can be tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. It takes several months to achieve the full effect, but it certainly sneaks up on patients. It's a nice change to see your face improving for several months in a row!
By replenishing lost volume and stimulating collagen production, Radiesse® restores youthful contours and enhances facial symmetry, allowing you to radiate confidence and vitality from every angle.
Radiesse® is commonly used in a variety of treatments to address different areas of concern:
1. Cheek Augmentation: Restoring volume and enhancing cheek contours for a lifted and youthful appearance.
2. Jawline Contouring: Defining the jawline and reducing the appearance of jowls for a more sculpted profile.
3. Hand Rejuvenation: Restoring volume and minimizing the appearance of veins and wrinkles on the hands for a more youthful look.
4. Nasolabial Folds Correction: Smoothing out deep lines and creases around the mouth for a rejuvenated smile.
During your consult with Dr. Prieto and our medical staff, she will discuss your concerns and desired outcome, and offer various suggestions for treatments. If you have your heart set on Radiesse® and she doesn't feel it's a good fit for your particular application, she will let you know that. Ultimately her goal is to achieve a desired positive outcome for you, the patient, and not simply use a product because it's considered "excellent." Of course she uses Radiesse® when needed; she even used it on her own husband!
