Radiesse® Treatment Information

Radiesse® injections are FDA-approved for facial soft tissue augmentation, in particular, the nasolabial folds. Composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a glycerin gel, Radiesse® plumps up deep lines and augments deficient soft tissue contours. When placed against bone it becomes firm and can provide deep structure augmentation.

Radiesse® Benefits

Radiesse® is recognized for its durability and versatility. The results of treatment last longer than other facial rejuvenation, Palo Alto and San Jose area patients typically see improvements that lasts for more than a year, and as long as three years in some patients. Because it is developed from a natural substance, there is no skin test needed prior to treatment with Radiesse®, and no allergic reactions have been reported. It provides safe and effective facial contouring, and can be used to treat problem areas like the nasolabial folds, jaw line, and marionette lines around the mouth. Radiesse® can also be used to produce cheek augmentation and chin augmentation, creating a balanced and attractive appearance.

Radiesse® treatment is a facial rejuvenation, Palo Alto, non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure performed in the office. At our Palo Alto area center, patients can undergo this convenient treatment in as little as 20 minutes. Additionally, results are immediate and patients only require a few long-lasting treatments, which means Radiesse® is also cost-effective – saving you time and money.

Radiesse® Risks

After Radiesse® treatment, patients may experience temporary swelling and redness, which typically subside in 24 to 36 hours. There may also be some discomfort and bruising. However, normal activities can be resumed immediately following treatment. The development of nodules under the skin which would require steroid treatment or surgical intervention is a potential, but extremely rare, complication of treatment with Radiesse®.
