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, Washington.
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.
