What is Radiesse?

RADIESSE filler is truly unique in that it both immediately restores volume and stimulates the production of natural collagen.¹ Some injectable fillers may do one or the other, but with this Volumizing Filler you get the best of both worlds; immediate results paired with the extended benefit of natural collagen stimulation.¹

Nasolabial Folds - Smile Lines

For most of us, smile lines - also known as nasolabial folds - are nothing to smile about. These lines and creases run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth, and are the result of the loss of facial volume and skin elasticity as we age. They can make you look older, tired, or unhappy - even though you feel youthful inside. Fortunately, the treatment can replenish youthful volume and stimulate collagen production in this area, minimizing the appearance of those pesky facial lines, wrinkles, and folds that mask our smiles. Best of all, results are clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.^1,2,3

Radiesse for Jowls

A little known area of the face that can make a big impact on the way we look is the pre-jowl area, or the pre-jowl sulcus, which is the area on either side of our chin. Facial volume loss associated with the aging process results in sagging of the skin in other facial areas, and leaves the pre-jowl area hollow.

Corners of the Mouth

The corners of the mouth, also known as the oral commissures, can turn downward as you age and lose volume below the mouth. This downturned appearance of the mouth can make you look like you are frowning or even mad. In addition, volume loss in this area often leads to the formation or the deepening of already-formed marionette lines.

Chin Wrinkles

This pesky wrinkle, forming horizontally across the chin can really distract from the smile. Caused by facial volume loss, chin wrinkles appear gradually over time. Quickly and easily restore volume to your chin to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and give it an overall smoother, more youthful appearance. Best of all, results are clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.^2,3

Marionette Lines Filler

Even if you have never heard of marionette lines, you probably know what they are. These lines that run straight downwards from the corners of the mouth can make you look unhappy. Marionette lines form as facial volume begins to deplete and deeper creases begin to form below the mouth. Thats when you know you need a the best filler for marionette lines. It does more than just fill troublesome lines, it immediately restores lost volume and stimulates the production of your own natural collagen - two things that other injectable fillers don't do.¹ Best of all, results are clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.^2,3

Our Los Angeles Radiesse Injections

Radiesse contains calcium microspheres, which are similar to natural minerals in your body. After injection, your body absorbs these harmless particles, leaving only skin-renewing collagen. The collagen pumps up thinning skin, reducing lines, wrinkles and firming jowls. Collagen and elastin keep our skin moist and supple, but they break down as we age. Radiesse helps rebuild this underlying structure, plumping up skin immediately and aiding future collagen growth.

Radiesse injection reviews from patients and medical providers on Realself and other sites show satisfactory ratings for Radiesse treatment on nasolabial folds (smile lines), chin wrinkles and sagging jowls and cheeks. If you have loss of skin volume due to aging or weight loss, a Radiesse injection can help restore fullness and make you look younger. If you're worried that dermal fillers will make you look stiff or plastic, try Radiesse. It will give you beautiful, natural results.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How long does Radiesse last?

  On average most patients can experience results that last a year to a year and a half.

• Are there any side effects to injections?

  The filler is a safe and virtually pain-free treatment. You may experience mild side effects, such as tenderness, bruising, itching, redness or swelling. These side effects usually last a short time. Discuss any concerns you have with us.

• Is there anything I should let you know before treatment?

  Tell us if you take blood thinners or medication that interferes with blood clotting such as aspirin or warfarin. These medications may cause you to experience bleeding or bruising at the injection site.

• Can I resume normal activity immediately after the treatment?

  There's no downtime after a treatment, but you will need to avoid applying make-up and minimize sun and heat exposure for the first day after the injection. You'll also need to refrain from facial movement or massage in the treated area for 24 hours.

• How is it different from other dermal fillers?

  It is made with calcium-based microspheres to increase collagen production. A study published in Dermatologic Surgery in 2008 showed that the calcium hydroxylapatite filler in Radiesse stimulates natural collagen production, and continues to do so long after treatment. Surveys indicate that Radiesse patients prefer it over Restylane and Perlane for treating wrinkles.
  It breaks down over time, but unlike some other dermal fillers, it continues working after it has absorbed into your body. It's completely safe and biocompatible, so there's no need for allergy testing prior to treatment.

• What happens during a treatment?

  The treatment takes place in our office and requires no preparation time. Most patients are treated and ready to go within an hour. Our practitioner injects Radiesse (pre-mixed with Lidocaine for comfort) under your skin. Since Radiesse is mixed with Lidocaine, you'll experience fewer side effects.

• Is it affordable?

  Ask us about the cost of treatment during your consultation. The final cost depends on the severity of your wrinkles and facial folds and how much dermal filler will be needed to treat it.

• What parts of the face can be treated with Radiesse?

  FDA-approved Radiesse is indicated for moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles. It treats the following facial areas:

  - Marionette lines, which run from the corner of your mouth down your chin. These lines get their name from the moveable jaw lines on a marionette puppet.
  - Smile lines, or nasolabial folds, start at the corners of the nose and go down to the corners of your mouth.
  - Mouth corners, also called the oral commisure, can have an angry or frowning appearance if there are grooves that run from your bottom lip and turn downward on the side of your chin.
  - Chin wrinkles are horizontal grooves between the lower lip and chin. They give the chin a sagging, pouting appearance and detract from your smile.
  - Pre-jowl folds are the areas to either side of your chin, which thin and sag due to aging and loss of elasticity.

• How soon will I see results after the injection?

  You'll notice smoother skin and a reduction in wrinkles right after treatment. Full results appear in a week.

  Treatment takes only a few minutes, so your wrinkles can be softened during a short appointment with us. The treatment is indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Its long-lasting results makes it the natural choice for wrinkle treatment.^2,3
