Collagen Stimulating Filler in Bellaire, TX

Woman

Smooth Wrinkles & Add Contour

RADIESSE® volumizing filler is a synthetic injectable filler that has been U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for reducing moderate-to-severe wrinkles, folds and creases around the nose and mouth by augmenting the skin’s natural collagen supply.

It is a safe, effective and long-lasting alternative to injectable collagen and other dermal fillers for smoothing wrinkles and adding facial volume and contour.

How It Works: Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a water-based gel, RADIESSE stimulates your body’s own collagen production. When injected, this additional collagen smooths out lines and adds volume to the skin.

Applications & Treatment Areas

RADIESSE volumizing filler can be used on various areas of the face and body. In addition to correcting scars that leave depressions, it is effective in improving the look of the following:

  • Nasolabial Folds
    Treats the deep lines that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
  • Marionette Lines & Mouth Corners
    Lifts downturned corners of the mouth and the lines running downward from them.
  • Jowls & Chin
    Effectively treats pre-sagging in the jowls and smooths out chin wrinkles.
  • Volume Restoration
    Approved by the FDA to restore and correct the signs of facial fat loss (lipoatrophy) beneath the skin.

The Treatment Process

Before a patient is given RADIESSE filler, the treatment area is cleaned. Injections are then made with a fine needle, and typically take only 15 minutes to perform.

RADIESSE is also FDA-approved for mixing with the anesthetic lidocaine, which makes the injections less painful.

Fast, Long-Lasting Results

  • Immediate Volume
    Results are visible immediately after injection as the gel plumps the area.
  • Up to a Year
    Because it stimulates natural collagen, results sometimes last up to a year.
  • Fewer Sessions
    Typically, only 1 or 2 treatments are needed to achieve the full benefits of RADIESSE.
  • No Downtime
    There is little-to-no downtime; many patients return to their normal activities right away.

Understanding the Risks

Side effects of RADIESSE filler are usually not serious, and go away on their own. They occur at the injection site, and include mild irritation, swelling, itching, redness, bruising, and tenderness.

Allergy testing is not necessary before treatment because the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in RADIESSE filler are similar to minerals that occur naturally in the body.
