Radiesse Sherman Oaks

Another injectable that appeared on the market lately is the Radiesse filler. Compared to the other fillers such Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, Perlane, and Belotero, Radiesse is thicker. However, this filler is thinner than Volux and Voluma.

If you are looking for a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation, Radiesse is here to give you immediate volumizing results and natural collagen production. Radiesse stands out with its calcium-based formula used to reduce the appearance of pre-jowl folds and contouring the face and jawline.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable made of Calcium Hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier made of carboxymethylcellulose. The filler is a bit thicker than most other Hyaluronic Acids such as Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, Perlane, and Belotero ,but thinner than Volux and Voluma. Similar to other firm fillers, Radiesse can have drastic results. It can also stimulate collagen production, contour the cheeks and jawline, and has been FDA-approved to correct volume loss on the hands.

Radiesse can coalesce over time and create nodules under the skin. Steroid injections can help reduce the persistence of unwanted results.

Radiesse received FDA approval for the correction of facial fat loss in HIV patients and moderate folds and wrinkles such as nasolabial folds. Radiesse Plus comes pre-mixed with Xylocaine (a numbing solution).

Side Effects & Risks

Common side effects when it comes to Radiesse include swelling, bruising, redness, itching, and pain. However, the appearance of nodules is a concern that patients have if an inexperienced injector treats the wrong areas (under the eyes or lips). There are three main types of nodules:

  • Filler Material Clumps (When the filler is injected in areas of circular muscles, it can clump and develop a nodule);
  • Inflammatory Nodules (rare, due to immune response);
  • “Biofilm” and Bacterial Nodules (rare, due to immune response or infections);

Due to the inability to dissolve Radiesse particles instantly, it is of paramount importance to seek experienced injectors for the application of Radiesse.  At Cosmetic Injectables Center, our providers are very knowledgeable and have years of experience. Our medical director, Dr Sherly Soleiman is faculty for reputable industry-leading injectables companies such as Allergan (who makes Botox and Juvederm) and teaches nationally.  If you have nodules from a Radiesse procedure, our team at Cosmetic Injectables Center can help you by using thiosulfate enzyme, steroids, and 5FU injections.

Radiesse FAQs

What should you not do after a Radiesse injection?

After a Radiesse injection, do not rub the area of injection unless advised to do so.  That includes sleeping on it or making extreme facial expressions. If redness and bruising occur, you should use cold compresses or go to your provider for bruising of the laser (at Cosmetic Injectables Center we offer this complimentary).

How long does it take for Radiesse to settle in?

While Radiesse isn’t a hyaluronic acid-based filler, you can still notice immediate improvement the same day. However, the final results that include collagen stimulation and resolution of swelling are later in about 3-4 weeks.

Can I exercise after Radiesse injections?

Exercising after Radiesse injections isn’t recommended. If you avoid strenuous activity during the first week, your blood pressure will stay within normal ranges and swelling and bruising will be minimized.

Can I sleep on my face after Radiesse?

Sleeping on the injected area isn’t recommended the first week post-treatment. Sleeping on the face will create pressure, and therefore, can move the filler or cause more bruising. Healthcare practitioners suggest sleeping on the back for the first 3 to 4 nights.

How long does Radiesse really last?

The results from Radiesse can last longer than some other fillers, usually from 9-12 months. You can notice an immediate improvement in the skin volume on the day of your appointment. However, the final results are usually visible within two to three weeks post-treatment.

What does Radiesse do?

Radiesse is a Calciumhydroxylapatite (CaHA)- based filler that stimulates collagen production, contours the cheeks and jawline, and corrects volume loss on the hands. Additionally, it can be used to smooth the appearance of wrinkles.

Is Radiesse a hyaluronic acid-based filler?

Radiesse is an injectable made of Calcium Hydroxyapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier made of carboxymethylcellulose. The filler is a bit thicker than most other Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm Ultra Plus, Restylane, Perlane, and Belotero and is not easily reversible like those agents.
