Radiesse in Denver, CO

Name: Shah Aesthetic Surgery
Price range: $$$

Overview

Radiesse is a popular gel dermal filler that South Denver plastic surgeon, Dr. Manish Shah, injects into the cheeks and nasolabial folds to increase volume to reduce the common signs of aging. FDA-approved Radiesse is actually a calcium hydroxyapatite substance, which is naturally found in the teeth and bones. Dr. Shah uses Radiesse to fill in areas that have lost collagen over the years since after absorption, collagen scar tissue remains which retains volume and diminishes the appearance of lines, wrinkles and folds. The outcome is plumper, rejuvenated, younger-looking skin with a lifted appearance. While individual results may vary, Radiesse can last up to 2 years.

What Are the Benefits of Radiesse?

There are many popular dermal fillers on the market, but none of them offer the longevity that Radiesse is known for. For our Denver, CO clients who are looking for longer-term skin rejuvenation, Radiesse offers a number of attractive benefits, including:

Tighter, more supple skin
Outcomes that can last for a year or longer
Softening dynamic lines and deep wrinkles
Improving your self-confidence

Administering Radiesse

Radiesse is a quick procedure normally completed within 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. The face will be thoroughly cleansed and then marked with ink so that the practitioner can conduct the injections with precision. A numbing cream is usually applied before the injection occurs. The gel is delivered using a fine needle into pockets just underneath the skin until the right volume is achieved.

What to Expect

After treatment, there may be redness, swelling and even bruising around the injection sites, but these go away after several hours. Patients will be able to resume their normal routine; although strenuous exercise should be limited for the first 24 hours. Patients will see their results immediately, and the results will continue to improve because Radiesse stimulates natural collagen growth, which is an agent for healthy skin.

Radiesse FAQs

Radiesse vs. Other Fillers?

There is an extensive selection of derma fillers available. Each filler has its own specific treatment to match the patient’s cosmetic issues. Whether naturally or artificially derived, these are all FDA approved, which means they are proven to be safe and effective. The one highlight of a Radiesse treatment is that aside from its volumizing capability it can function as a collagen stimulator. When collagen multiplies, it greatly benefits the skin tone. During the initial consultation, the face will be assessed and the appropriate filler will be recommended.

Is Radiesse Right For Me?

Several other derma fillers are manufactured using hyaluronic acid. Popular examples are Juvederm or Restylane. While these are great in adding volume back to facial depressions, Radiesse stands out as the only filler made of calcium-based microspheres, which have the ability to integrate with skin tissues and promote collagen growth. Every patient is unique and a treatment plan will be tailored to them that may include Radiesse, or another filler if the practitioner feels it will best benefit the patient.

Is It Risky?

Radiesse is FDA approved and backed by comprehensive testing. As it is derived from a substance that naturally occurs in the body, it poses no toxic risk. Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, bruising, numbness or itching, which all subsides after a few days.
