What is Radiesse? 

Radiesse is made with tiny microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, which trigger the body to regenerate collagen, a natural protein known for firming and rejuvenating the complexion from within. Because of its ability to boost youthful volume and fortify the skin’s underlying scaffolding, Radiesse is often used as a component of a liquid (non-surgical) facelift. Radiesse’s molecular structure of oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon is similar to that of human tissue, making the injectable an invaluable resource for achieving a radiant, attractive glow without downtime or discomfort.

What Is a Radiesse BBL?

Radiesse has the ability to add structure and volume to the skin and is thus a viable tool in sculpting the silhouette during a non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lift. In addition to adding fullness and youthful curves, Radiesse can correct asymmetry, restoring a more balanced lower body physique. Results with a Radiesse BBL usually last around 18-24 months if properly maintained, making it a cost-effective and pain-free alternative to fat grafting.

Who Makes a Good Candidate for Radiesse?

Every patient will receive a detailed and personalized consultation process to ensure their chosen treatment will be safe, effective, and successful.

They may be frustrated by age-related volume loss in the cheeks, lips, jawline, temples, hands, or glutes.

What Will the Treatment Process Entail?

As a non-surgical, non-invasive rejuvenation option, Radiesse injections typically take around 20 minutes to complete. Some Radiesse formulas contain built-in lidocaine to prevent discomfort. Otherwise, a topical anesthetic can be used to numb your skin, ensuring your session is painless and anxiety-free. Once you are ready, your provider will use an ultra-fine needle to inject Radiesse into the specific points outlined in your treatment plan.

Recovery After Radiesse

There is no downtime after Radiesse, allowing patients to quickly resume their normal schedules. Despite this, there are a few guidelines to follow that will help you get the most out of your treatment. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours, and try to postpone exposure to extreme heat (tanning, saunas, hot tubs, sunbathing, etc.) for several weeks. Don’t apply makeup for the first 12 hours after your session. If you experience any swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites after your Radiesse appointment, you can take over-the-counter pain medications like Tylenol.

Are Radiesse Injections Painful?

Most patients find Radiesse injections to be tolerable and painless. The most you might feel is a slight pinching sensation when the needle enters the skin. However, your skin will be numbed with a topical anesthetic prior to your session. Ice can be applied to the treatment area afterward to alleviate any tenderness.

How Long Does It Take for Radiesse to Work?

Radiesse results can be seen right away. The skin will look more plump, youthful, and radiant. However, there may be some degree of residual swelling that lasts several weeks. After this time, your results will continue to evolve and improve as the body’s natural production of collagen is gradually increased.

How Long Does Radiesse Last?

Radiesse results can last from 18 to 24 months, depending on how your body metabolizes the filler. Once your effects start to wear off, you can easily book a touch-up session with our team in Chicago.

Are There Any Risks?

While Radiesse is non-invasive, it does come with certain potential risks to be aware of. These may include swelling, redness, tenderness, lumps, bumps, itching, and discoloration. Our team will discuss both the benefits and risks of the treatment with you in more depth during your private consultation.

Who Is NOT a Candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse is not appropriate for patients with active skin infections, bleeding disorders, or other medical issues. Additionally, pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid Radiesse. Our team will conduct a thorough consultation process to make sure you are a good candidate for the treatment.

How Does Radiesse Work for the Hands?

Volume loss in the back of the hands is one of the most noticeable signs of aging. Radiesse can help restore a more youthful skin structure, softening the appearance of prominent tendons. The cohesive texture of Radiesse is ideal for rebuilding structure and shape in multiple areas of the body.

How Much Does Radiesse Cost?

Pricing for Radiesse injections varies according to the extent of the changes desired, the treatment location, and the total number of units utilized. However, Radiesse results can last from 18 to 24 months, making it one of the most cost-effective rejuvenation options available. Our team will provide a detailed price quote upon the completion of your consultation in Chicago.
