Injectable fillers like Botox, Juvederm and Radiesse have become quite popular in recent years. A few jabs are all it takes to get the facial volume that you always wanted. Now, who would say no to that?

Radiesse is easily one of the most popular and sought-after dermal fillers. Though the results are temporary, the glow that you get after the treatment is worth it all. If you are considering Radiesse filler, then here are some things that you should know.

1. What Does Radiesse Filler Treat?

Of course, you know that a Radiesse filler is used to treat severe wrinkles and fine lines but the treatment is not limited to just that. Here are some of the other things which Radiesse filler can help with. 

• Add volume to your face, especially the cheek region
• Correct nasolabial folds
• Correct mouth corner creases
• Contouring of the face
• Correct weak chin and hollow temples
• Add elasticity to the skin
• Correct sagging jowls and loose neck skin

2. How Does Radiesse Filler Work?

You might have done your research but we understand if you gave up when the technical jargon began. We will make it simple for you!

The main ingredient in Radiesse filler is calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres. These when injected into the skin will stimulate collagen production. Collagen is responsible for adding volume and tightening your skin.

So, what happens to the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres after enough collagen is produced? Do they simply float around in your face? No; once the job is done, the microspheres get absorbed by the body. Neat, right?

The collagen that is produced will help in smoothening wrinkles and fine lines. This happens for months but you will be able to see immediate results after the treatment.

3. What Happens During Radiesse Treatment?

Radiesse treatment involves injecting the microspheres into the area to be treated using thin needles. The pokes are gentle and do not cause much pain but topical numbing agents are applied before the procedure starts.

Radiesse filler treatment is similar to other dermal filler treatments and you will be out of the clinic within 15-20 minutes (treatment time).

Radiesse treatment is a safe, non-invasive procedure and the most important part is to find the right provider. You should get treatment from a licensed professional. Make sure that they have the right qualifications for performing the procedure.

Ask questions and analyze whether they give satisfactory answers. Get the details of the treatment before starting it.

4. What Are Some Aftercare Tips to Keep in Mind?

You may experience some pain and swelling after the treatment but it will recede after a few days. The bruises from the needles go away in a week.

It is best to rest a week after the treatment and avoid heavy workouts till the bruising subsides. For the first 24 hours after the treatment, it would also help to avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat. It is also advised to avoid pressure in the treated area (like facial massages or sleeping on the side).

You will start to see results almost immediately after the treatment. For the full effect, wait till the swelling and bruising subside.

5. What If I Don’t Like the Results?

Sometimes, the results might not be what the patient expected and unfortunately, it is not possible to dissolve the dermal fillers. It takes 12-18 months for the Radiesse filler to naturally dissolve.

This is why it is essential to talk to your service provider in detail before the treatment. This will make sure that you and your provider are on the same page when it comes to treatment results. You can also refer to some Radiesse before and after photos of the treatment that the provider has done before.
