Radiesse is one of many cosmetic injectables available at Andromeda Aesthetics in Moneta, Virginia. Our team can educate patients on what it is, how it works, and how this filler can work wonders on aging skin. Let’s take a closer look at Radiesse fillers by considering some frequently asked questions.
Radiesse is a dermal filler that smooths out wrinkles and folds, particularly around the face and neck. Instead of just “filling” lines, it stimulates your body’s natural collagen production, leading to longer-lasting and natural-looking results.
Absolutely! Radiesse has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use in various areas, including the face, neck, and hands. While it is safe, we encourage you to consult with our licensed and experienced practitioners at our office, who can assess your requirements and ensure the best outcome.
One of the big perks of Radiesse is its staying power. Results typically last 12 to 18 months, although this can vary depending on your skin type, metabolism, and treatment area. It is a reliable beauty investment that keeps paying off long after your first appointment and can be maintained with time to slow the signs of aging with regular visits.
Not really. Our team utilizes a numbing agent or might mix a bit of anesthetic with the filler to make the process as comfortable as possible. You might feel a little prick or pressure, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated, and the results are worth it!
Radiesse is just used to smooth out wrinkles. At the same time, it adds volume and lifts areas that have lost elasticity over time. For the neck area in particular, it is a great option to achieve a firmer and more youthful appearance without plastic surgery interventions.
Radiesse is considered a noninvasive treatment, so downtime is minimal. You might notice a little redness, swelling, or bruising, but these side effects usually subside within a few days. Most people go right back to their daily routines with zero disruption.
Radiesse works wonders for adult men or women experiencing mild to moderate wrinkles, volume loss, or sagging skin. It is perfect if you want a non-surgical option to rejuvenate your face or neck. However, if you are pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions, you will want to discuss alternatives with our providers at our office.
