The Radiesse Difference

Radiesse, is a safe, FDA-approved dermal filler that restores a natural, long lasting, youthful look.  This convenient treatment can restore facial volume as well as correct smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth.  Radiesse is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure.

How Does Radiesse Work?

Radiesse works with your body, below the skin’s surface.  Tiny calcium-based microspheres form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen.  Over time, the calcium-based microspheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed by your body.  Radiesse does more than just temporarily fill-in facial folds and wrinkles - it can restore facial volume for the youthful look you want.

How Soon Can I Expect Results?
How Long Will The Results Last?

The results are immediate.  Radiesse lasts 12-18 months.  Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with Dr.Gregory.

How is Radiesse Treatment Performed?

Radiesse is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, convenient procedure.  Typically administered with the use of a topical anesthetic, Radiesse treatments have little to no downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities soon after treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Many patients will achieve their desired result after just one visit.  Because Radiesse is a long term cosmetic enhancement, and to ensure your satisfaction, Dr. Gregory might schedule a follow-up visit, where a touch-up treatment may be recommended.

Are There Any Side Effects?

Normal, injection-related reactions, such as mild irritation, swelling, itching, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site may occur.  These conditions typically resolve on their own.

Is Radiesse Permanent?

No.  Treatment results are long lasting, but not permanent.  The calcium-based microspheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed by your body.
