What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is completely different in its basic composition from hyaluronic acid (HA) based dermal fillers (such as Juvé derm® and Resty lane®) as it is made from a synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite. This is a biomaterial with more than twenty years of use in other surgical specialties. The calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres are suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. This allows Radiesse ® to behave like a semi-solid soft tissue implant. Once injected into the treatment area, it provides immediate volume and correction. Furthermore, the calcium hydroxylapatite remains stable long after its gel carrier is reabsorbed, stimulating your body to produce more collagen. This is why a dermal fillers procedure with Radiesse® can produce a long-lasting result.
Ideal Candidate for Radiesse
It is important with any aesthetic procedure that you be assessed in person. The internet has become a fantastic resource for patients to explore the many options that exist for rejuvenating the face, hands and body. However, any procedure must be individualized to your unique anatomy. This means that what worked for your favorite influencer on social media, a friend or even a family member may not work for you.
As a more robust filler, the ideal candidate for Radiesse® is any man or woman in good overall health who is bothered by moderate to severe:
Smile lines
Marionette lines
Pre-jowl folds
Drooping corners of the mouth
Chin wrinkles
Lack of definition at the jawline
Benefit:
Radiesse with Li docaine offers longer lasting results when compared to hyaluronic acid fillers; results can last up to a year or more. This product is also particularly suited to correct more severe wrinkles and folds as it possesses better volumizing properties. Supplemented with li docaine, treatment with this product can now be a more comfortable experience for your patients.
How is Radiesse Different?
As discussed, Radiesse has a completely different structure than an HA filler. This gives it a thicker or more firm consistency, making it most suitable for deeper soft tissue volumization in the nasolabial folds, jawline, cheeks, and frown lines. Dr. Doherty will often combine Radiesse with a "softer" filler such as Resty lane , Resty lane Lyft or Juve derm to create a long-lasting, deep tissue augmentation with a smooth surface.
