Atlanta Facial Plastic Surgery: Radiesse® Dermal Filler
Long lasting wrinkle removal results, without surgery!
How Radiesse Works
Radiesse is a facial injection that helps restore the collagen that made your face supple and wrinkle-free in years past. This dermal filler actually turns the body’s process back to how it performed years ago by stimulating collagen production in facial areas that have begun to wrinkle and sag. Unlike direct collagen injections, which last about three months, Radiesse delivers results for approximately an entire year (though results vary).
At its elemental level, Radiesse is not collagen at all, but rather an aqueous gel carrier blended with spherical particles of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA). The gel carrier suspends the CaHA particles and allows them to be delivered through injection needles. The facial filler’s key compound, calcium hydroxylapatite, is identical in composition to the mineral portion of human bone, thus making it exceptionally compatible for wrinkle treatment in the body. Calcium hyroxylapaptite has been used for decades in cosmetic plastic surgery, orthopedics, otology, otolaryngology, neurosurgery, dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, and urology because of its high bio-compatibility.
What to expect from Radiesse
Dr. Sinha uses Radiesse dermal filler to eliminate fine lines and facial wrinkles. The result of a Radiesse treatment is a healthy-looking and flexible face that better wards off the signs of age. For example, Radiesse smooths away the “smile lines” that run along the sides of the mouth, so you can fully enjoy your happiest moments without reservation.
Wrinkle treatment with Radiesse is an often an option for patients who want to look younger, but do not want to go under the knife—think of it as a non-surgical facelift alternative. Radiesse injections are also virtually painless, thanks to the recent addition of a numbing agent into the solution. This is in keeping with a core value of the Atlanta Institute for Facial Aesthetic Surgery—patient comfort. Dr. Sinha always works to ensure that all procedures are performed with the utmost care to patient comfort, before, during and after the treatment.
Radiesse is a very effective and popular soft-tissue dermal filler. However, because the product is so long-lasting, Dr. Sinha recommends that patients first get Restylane or another non-surgical facelift alternative filler. It is important for the patient to know what to expect from a soft tissue dermal filler. Once the patient is satisfied with the cosmetic results, the more permanent Radiesse injection can be used to replicate those results more permanently.
