Radiesse
El principio activo de este relleno dérmico se encuentra de forma natural en el organismo, por lo que es una buena alternativa para los pacientes que presentan reacciones a otros rellenos.
What Is Radiesse?
Radiesse® is a prescription-only dermal filler treatment manufactured by BioForm Medical. A licensed medical professional injects the dermal filler beneath the patient’s dermal-sub-cutaneous border. It’s used to fill in wrinkles and restore volume to the skin or to return mass to cheeks. This non-invasive procedure is an anti-aging treatment used to plump soft tissue. Patients in search of a fresh, natural-looking, and younger appearance like dermal filler treatments.
How is Radiesse different from other dermal fillers on the market?
Este tratamiento es uno de los rellenos dérmicos más populares disponibles. Algunos pacientes prefieren el ingrediente activo, hidroxiapatita de calcio (HCa5O13P3), a otros rellenos basados en ácido hialurónico. El HCa5O13P3 está presente de forma natural en los huesos, dientes y piel del cuerpo. Este hecho significa que la mayoría de los pacientes no son alérgicos al tratamiento, no reaccionan a él y no tienen problemas con él. Las partículas microscópicas de HCa5O13P3 se combinan en una base acuosa para crear este relleno dérmico.
Is Radiesse safe for me?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler approved for cosmetic injection. It’s nontoxic and clinical tests show that the material doesn’t migrate to other parts of the body. Like other dermal fillers, the treatment is gradually reabsorbed by the body. This treatment is contraindicated for use as a lip-filler. Some studies show that migration of this filler from the lips may occur in some rare instances.
How does Radiesse work?
Unlike some “instant” dermal fillers, this treatment helps the body produce more of its own collagen and elastin. The aging process causes most people to make fewer of these fibers over time. Treated skin has greater tone and elasticity and looks more youthful. Although this filler does add volume immediately upon injection, its longer-term benefits attract most patients to the treatment. The potential of increased skin elasticity makes Radiesse one of the most often requested dermal fillers available.
Am I a good candidate for Radiesse?
Goodman Dermatology and providers consult with each patient about his or her goals for dermal filler use during an office appointment. There are many treatment options available. Complementary treatments, rather than a single dermal filler, may be recommended. A patient’s medical history, goals, and other factors are considered in the creation of his or her treatment plan. Goodman Dermatology will advise the patient about candidacy for any therapy or treatment at this time.
How long will a Radiesse treatment take?
Although the total treatment time can vary according to the number of areas to be treated (or the performance of complementary treatments during the patient’s visit, such as Botox® or laser therapies), most patients need about 30 minutes for the procedure.
Is Radiesse treatment painful?
Most patients report little to no pain associated with this treatment. However, patients with sensitive skin are pleased to know that the FDA approved the addition of Lidocaine, a topical anesthetic ingredient, to the Radiesse formula. This addition helps to reduce any pain associated with the injection of the dermal filler. An experienced, board-certified dermatologist is also adept in performing the treatment and the patient’s comfort is always a priority. Discuss any concerns about pain or sensitivity with Goodman Dermatology during the consultation.
What side effects should I expect after Radiesse?
Es de esperar cierta hinchazón, hematomas o enrojecimiento después del tratamiento. El personal de la consulta de dermatología proporcionará una compresa fría al paciente antes y después del procedimiento. Es importante evitar la actividad física intensa durante al menos veinticuatro horas después del procedimiento. La mayoría de las actividades diarias habituales se pueden reanudar inmediatamente después del tratamiento. Algunos pacientes aplican base de maquillaje o corrector después del tratamiento para disimular cualquier efecto temporal.
Informe cualquier hinchazón, picazón o hematoma que persista más de unos pocos días o según lo recomendado por el dermatólogo.
What skin products should I use after Radiesse treatment?
Goodman Dermatology and providers may recommend skin regimen products to the patient, such as a high SPF sunscreen or treatment product, to protect the skin after treatment.
How long will my Radiesse results last? Are they permanent?
Dermal filler treatments aren’t permanent and, though Radiesse does help the body to produce its own elastin and collagen with the goal of increasing skin’s elasticity, no treatment halts the body’s aging process. Patients report that Radiesse is one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers. One treatment can last a year or longer. Many dermatologists believe long-lived benefits plus stimulation of the body’s collagen and production makes this treatment ideal for the treatment of challenging deeper lines, wrinkles, or hollowed areas. While no dermal filler can permanently correct lines, wrinkles, or lost volume, Johns Hopkins University researchers believe it’s possible to delay or prevent some new signs of the skin’s aging process.
