What is Radiesse®?
Radiesse® is long-lasting liquid injectable filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a component found in bone and teeth. Unlike collagen, which is made of animal bovine, no pretests are required to determine if you will experience any side effects or allergic reaction. Radiesse® stimulates your body to produce collagen, thus its advantage over other fillers to last 12 to 18 months.

How many treatments will I need?
The cosmetic results you desire and the area to be treated will influence the number of treatments necessary. Typically one treatment is sufficient. Since Radiesse® is not absorbed by your body, results are long lasting. Some patients will need a touch up a few weeks after injection.

What can I expect following treatment?
You can resume normal activities following treatment. The most commonly reported side effect has been redness, swelling and bruising at the injection site. Results are immediately evident. Lines, wrinkles and folds look softer and your skin looks smooth.

What is the treatment like?
Radiesse® is injected in small amounts under your skin to fill creases, lines, wrinkles and folds. In order to optimize your comfort, a dental block will be given prior to injection.

How long do the results last?
Depending on many factors, such as your lifestyle, age and skin structure your results may last up to 12 months. You may require a touch up treatment after the first treatment to achieve your desired result.

Prior to scheduling a medical spa treatment, each patient will have a skin care consultation with one of our cosmetic specialists. The consultation will allow for a comprehensive evaluation of your skin care needs and development of a regimen that is perfectly tailored for you. There is a $50 consultation fee which will be credited toward your scheduled treatment.

Cost of treatment is available upon request.
