About Injectable fillers
Injectable fillers are great way to add volume to your face to soften some of the folds of the face and depleted areas of the face. The various highlights and shadows of the face produce a complicated contour that must be carefully addressed to avoid a “pillow face”. The goal of fillers is to add volume to the face in a natural distribution. If the face is overfilled to flatten out all the folds then it will look wide and unnatural. Understanding how the face ages is important to understand why placement of a filler by a skilled injector is the most important factor to obtain a natural and refreshed look.
Before Radiesse Treatment: What happens as we age?
Why is volume important?
- Restores youthful contour to the face.
- Softens hollows and underlying bone structure.
- Supports the skin and soft tissue of the face.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse®, originally known as Radiance®, is a powerful and safe non-surgical injectable filler that lessens the appearance of wrinkles, creases and scars while also filling out the face. A face that has deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or gaunt cheeks benefits from this remarkably long lasting filler.
Radiesse Uses:
- Lifts deflated, volume depleted facial tissue
- Cheek and chin augmentation
- “Liquid Facelift”
- Temple hollows
- Smile lines
Radiesse® is synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite, a compound that is equivalent to natural ground bone so it does not provoke an allergic reaction in the body. Injections are made deep into the soft tissue of the face and skin. These injections stimulate the production of natural collagen, leading to the deposition of collagen within the tissues. This provides a much longer lasting effect. The effects of Radiesse® injections can last more than one year in many patients.
How is Radiesse used?
The specialists at The Naderi Center often utilize Radiesse for facial contouring and volume restoration. Radiesse has a slightly thicker consistency than hyaluronic acid–based fillers, making it ideal for lifting deflated facial tissue, adding volume, and enhancing facial structure. RADIESSE® is unique in its ability to act as a scaffold beneath the skin, providing lift while stimulating the natural production of collagen.
Radiesse can be used to restore a more youthful triangular shape to a patients face by augmenting the midface, cheeks and jawline, often referred to as a “liquid facelift“. Adding volume and structural support to the overlying facial tissues will give a lifted and refreshed appearance.
The providers at The Naderi Center can use Radiesse® to enhance your appearance by augmenting the chin or cheeks, smoothing the jawline, softening hollowed temples, or subtly reshaping the nose with non-surgical rhinoplasty (though Restylane is often preferred for most patients). The Radiesse product is blended with a small amount of lidocaine, a numbing medication that helps minimize discomfort during treatment. Injections are performed conveniently in-office with minimal downtime. Mild swelling or bruising may occur, but most patients can easily return to their normal activities afterward. Using Radiesse® to shape and contour the face helps rejuvenate your features and reduce visible signs of aging.
Where should Radiesse not be used?
Having your Radiesse injections performed by experienced injectors at The Naderi Center is essential, as Radiesse isn’t ideal for every area of the face. To achieve the best results, Radiesse is typically injected deeper using a different technique than Hyaluronic acid fillers. It should not be used under the eyes or in the lips. The skin beneath the eyes is too thin, and injections in this area can cause visible lumps. Similarly, using Radiesse in the lips may lead to lumps known as granulomas, which can be long-lasting or even permanent in some patients.
Risks with Radiesse
As with most fillers, there is a risk of bruising and swelling after injection with Radiesse. There is a network of hidden blood vessels under the skin that can be interrupted during the injection process, leading to a bruise. Infections or allergic reactions are extremely rare with Radiesse, but are possible. There are a few cases that report occlusion of a blood vessel that can result in skin loss, but this complication is extremely rare. Other potential risks include palpable lumps, asymmetry, scar tissue, or discoloration. The most common issue patients will have after Radiesse. injections is bruising, swelling and possibly some mild tenderness which will usually resolve after a few days.
