Revitalize Your Skin: Discover the Age-Defying Power of Radiesse Treatments!
Your skin changes over time because of aging, sun damage, and other factors. This can cause your skin to wrinkle or sag, robbing you of your youthful glow. While aging backward is only possible in movies, New U Women’s Clinic & Aesthetics can turn back the hand of time with Radiesse treatments in Kennewick and Yakima.
Are you bothered by aging skin? Please schedule an appointment with our aesthetics specialist, Dr. Rachel Fidino, and rediscover your youthful, radiant skin.
What is Radiesse?
As we age, we produce less collagen. In fact, by age 20, our body produces 1% less collagen annually. Reduced collagen production makes the skin thinner and more fragile. At the same time, the body produces less elastin, causing fine lines and wrinkles to form. Over time, it can be challenging —or even impossible—to mask these signs of aging with makeup, especially when they occur in conspicuous places.
We can reverse aging or slow it with Radiesse treatment. Radiesse is a dermal filler with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. CaHa contains calcium and phosphate naturally produced in the body. When injected beneath the skin, Radiesse instantly adds volume to smooth wrinkles and contour areas like the cheeks, jawline, and hands. Radiesse encourages collagen production, acting as a natural filler and ensuring long-lasting effects.
What can I expect from the treatment?
Your treatment starts with a consultation with our team. We’ll identify the injection sites and the number of doses needed. Before your treatment, we’ll cleanse the treatment area and apply numbing cream to ensure a painless experience.
Once you are comfortable, Dr. Fidino will use a fine needle to inject Radiesse into the targeted areas. A typical appointment lasts about 30 minutes. You might experience slight swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. However, these effects typically subside within a few days.
You’ll resume your everyday activities almost immediately after treatment. However, avoid strenuous activities or massaging the treatment areas.
How long do the results last?
Radiesse delivers more durable outcomes than other types of dermal fillers. Radiesse results typically last between 12 and 18 months, although individual experiences may vary based on age, skin type, and lifestyle.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse can’t be reversed. However, results fade naturally over time. Discuss your concerns with our aesthetician to ensure that Radiesse is the right choice.
Who are the candidates for Radiesse?
Radiesse is suitable for patients of all skin types and tones. It is commonly used to address the following concerns:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Cheeks and chin contouring
- Jawline enhancement
- Volume loss on the back of the hands
Radiesse candidates must be in good health and have realistic expectations about the treatment. We won’t recommend Radiesse if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a history of allergic reactions to any components in the dermal filler. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history and skin goals to determine your eligibility for Radiesse. Be honest with our providers and inform them about your allergies, underlying conditions, medications, etc., to help us devise a personalized treatment plan.
If I move forward with Radiesse®, what will the treatment process be like?
As with other injections, we apply Radiesse® through small needles well-placed underneath the skin at the site of your wrinkles, folds, and creases. You may wish to have local anesthetic or topical numbing applied before injections for utmost comfort. There may be some injection-site redness, bruising, and inflammation that typically subsides in a few days. Patients love how treatment gets instant results. Those results improve with time as Radiesse® is absorbed and more collagen and elastin are produced. You enjoy a renewed look for up to 18 months before a “touch-up” must be scheduled at the Tri-Cities area office of New U Women’s Clinic & Aesthetics. Call (509) 491-1944 to schedule your consultation in Kennewick, WA today.
Frequently Asked Questions About Radiesse
How does Radiesse work?
Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler that restores volume and natural appearance. Radiesse comprises calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Once injected into the skin, Radiesse creates a “scaffold” to support and stimulate collagen production. This provides an immediate skin lift and ensures continuous improvement that lasts longer than most fillers.
Radiesse is versatile and addresses multiple skin concerns, including:
- Deep smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionettes lines
- Jawline contouring
- Cheek augmentation
- Chin wrinkles
Does Radiesse treatment hurt?
Most people feel only mild pressure or a quick pinch. Radiesse contains lidocaine, which helps reduce discomfort during the injection. Your provider may also use a numbing cream to optimize your comfort. The treatment is usually well tolerated.
Should I expect downtime after Radiesse treatment?
Radiesse is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment, so downtime is minimal. Many patients return to their everyday activities after treatment. However, it’s best to skip intense workouts, sun exposure, and alcohol for the rest of the day to help the filler settle.
Will my results look natural?
Our skilled practitioners provide subtle enhancements that complement your natural features. The treatment works with your own collagen, helping your skin look youthful without an overdone or unnatural appearance.
Can Radiesse be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Radiesse can be safely combined with Botox, chemical peels, and other treatments for complete facial rejuvenation. Our Kennewick or Yakima aesthetician team creates a bespoke plan to achieve the desired aesthetic results.
What is the aftercare after Radiesse treatment?
Avoid touching or massaging the treatment areas for at least 24 hours after treatment. Skip intense exercise that day to allow the filler to settle. Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol to optimize results. You may apply a cool compress if needed. Mild swelling or tenderness is normal, but it fades after a few days. Follow your provider’s instructions closely for the best outcome.
Does insurance cover dermal filler treatment?
No. Insurance does not cover Radiesse or other cosmetic fillers. These treatments are elective. Our office will discuss options to make your treatment more affordable.
What are the alternatives to Radiesse treatment?
There are several options. You can consider hyaluronic acid fillers or poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers, such as Sculptra. You could also consider laser treatments, microneedling, and skin tightening, which also support facial rejuvenation. Your skin care practitioner will recommend the right alternative based on your goals, skin type, and the area you want to treat.
Who should avoid Radiesse?
While many people are candidates for Radiesse, others should avoid it. We do not recommend Radiesse for people with severe allergies, bleeding disorders, or certain autoimmune conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should also avoid this treatment. Our team will determine your eligibility during an in-person consultation.
