Radiesse Filler and Biostimulant Treatments

in North County San Diego

Radiesse is a highly sought-after dermal filler and collagen biostimulant that restores volume while promoting natural collagen production, making it a top choice for anti-aging treatments. This versatile filler addresses wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss in areas such as the temples, cheeks, jawline, and neck. Radiesse provides immediate lift and long-lasting results by continuing to stimulate collagen even after the initial injection, leaving skin firmer, smoother, and more youthful.

How Radiesse Works

Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which are suspended in a gel carrier. When injected, the gel immediately fills and plumps the skin, giving instant volume. Over time, the CaHA particles stimulate the body's natural collagen production, improving skin elasticity and firmness. As the gel carrier gradually absorbs, the collagen matrix remains, ensuring prolonged results for 12 to 18 months. Patients in North County San Diego choose Radiesse for its ability to address both immediate cosmetic concerns and long-term collagen rejuvenation.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Radiesse Treatment

Before Your Appointment:
A consultation is essential to discuss your goals and ensure Radiesse is the right treatment for you. During this visit, a comprehensive skin analysis will be conducted, and treatment areas will be identified. Avoiding blood thinners and certain supplements for at least 7 days before treatment will help minimize the risk of bruising.

During the Procedure:
Radiesse treatments are quick and minimally invasive, typically lasting 60-90 minutes depending on the areas being treated. A topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance comfort. Your aesthetic injector will use a fine needle or cannula to strategically place Radiesse in the targeted areas to achieve natural, balanced results. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.

After the Appointment:
Post-treatment, you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which usually subsides within a few days. Some patients experience normal tenderness on or around the treatment area. You can return to your regular routine immediately, although it's advised to avoid physical activities and anything that may introduce bacteria such as pools, jacuzzis, and makeup for at least 24 hours. Over the following weeks, as collagen production increases, you'll notice continued improvement in skin texture, volume, and firmness. On average, patients see the filler results immediately and collagen results at approximately 4 weeks. Radiesse results can last 12 to 18 months, depending on your body's response and the areas treated.
