Radiesse Tips and Instructions
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 also commonly used for cheek augmentation and enhancement.
Radiesse is made of unique calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel that is injected into the skin through a simple, safe and minimally invasive procedure. These calcium-based microspheres actually work with your body to stimulate the growth of your own collagen.
Results from a Radiesse treatment are immediate and effects may last a year or more, but the duration of effects varies from patient to patient and can be shorter or even longer.
Radiesse treatments have little to no downtime, with most patients being able to return to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Before your Radiesse treatment
Avoid using aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, St. John's Wort, or high doses of Vitamin E supplements for one week prior to your treatment, because these may increase bruising or bleeding at the injection site.
After your Radiesse treatment
You may experience redness, swelling and bruising after your treatment, which is normal and will usually resolve within a few days.
You may apply 100% mineral makeup immediately after treatment.
The use of Arnica and Bromelain tablets is recommended following your treatment to minimize bruising and swelling.
You may experience tenderness in the treated area. Apply cold compresses to ease pain and minimize swelling.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment
Avoid sun exposure and exposure to intense heat until redness or swelling is completely resolved.
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas.
