Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse sets itself apart with its unique formulation of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a water-based gel. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse provides both immediate volume and lift while stimulating natural collagen production for long-lasting results. The CaHA microspheres offer instant enhancement, and as they are absorbed, they promote new collagen growth, ensuring sustained improvements in skin texture and elasticity.
Am I a Good Candidate for Radiesse?
Radiesse is ideal for adults experiencing moderate to severe facial wrinkles, volume loss, or a desire for more defined facial contours. It is perfect for enhancing and rejuvenating areas like the jawline, cheeks, smile lines, and hands. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be in good health, without allergies to Radiesse components or active skin infections.
What Are Common Areas of Radiesse Application?
Radiesse is versatile and can be used to treat various areas:
- Jawline and chin: Emphasizes contours with bone-like consistency.
- Midface and cheeks: Restores volume for a youthful appearance.
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines: Smooths wrinkles and folds.
- Hands: Plumps up aging, veiny hands for a refined look.
- Knees and elbows: Treats sagging skin for a youthful look.
When Should I Avoid Radiesse?
Dr. Schwarzburg advises avoiding Radiesse if you have allergies to its components, skin infections, or inflammatory conditions. It is also not recommended for individuals with bleeding disorders, immune system issues, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Additionally, if you have had adverse reactions to dermal fillers in the past or have permanent implants in the treatment area, Radiesse may not be suitable for you.
How Do I Prepare for Radiesse?
To maximize your Radiesse results Dr. Schwarzburg advises the following:
- Avoid blood-thinning agents like aspirin and NSAIDs for 3-5 days before treatment.
- Limit alcohol intake 48 hours prior.
- Consider taking Tylenol 30 minutes before the procedure to reduce discomfort.
What is the Treatment Process with Radiesse?
Depending on your treatment goals, Radiesse can be used either in its original form or as hyperdiluted Radiesse. In its original form, Radiesse acts as a filler, providing volume and structure. When used in its hyperdiluted form, it serves as a collagen biostimulator, promoting skin firming and tightening.
Once the treatment plan is established, Dr. Schwarzburg will cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical numbing agent for your comfort. He will then make precise markings to guide the injections. Radiesse can be administered either via needle or cannula, depending on the specific requirements of the treatment. The injections are skillfully performed to achieve a balanced and natural enhancement. Finally, the treated area is massaged to ensure even distribution of the product.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
The duration of Radiesse treatment varies by area:
- Jawline or Smile Lines: Approximately 20 minutes.
- Hands or Knees: 30-40 minutes.
What is the Aftercare Following Radiesse?
Dr. Schwarzburg advises to take the following post-injection steps:
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Avoid touching the treated areas.
- Taking Tylenol for discomfort.
- Use a warm compress for bruising if needed.
What is the Downtime After Radiesse?
Radiesse treatments typically have minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising, which usually resolve within a few days. Avoid strenuous activities for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling or bruising.
What Are the Risks and Complications?
While generally safe, Radiesse can have side effects such as:
- Redness and swelling.
- Tenderness and bruising.
- Nodules or lumps.
- Very rare allergic reactions or infection.
- Vascular obstruction leading to skin necrosis.
When Will I See Results?
You will see immediate volume increase and definition right after the injection. As collagen production gradually improves skin texture and elasticity, full results will manifest within 1-2 months.
How Long Do Results Last?
Radiesse results typically last 12-24 months, varying by individual metabolism, treatment area, and the amount of filler used.
How Many Syringes Will I Need?
The number of syringes of Radiesse you’ll need depends on the treatment area and your desired results. Each syringe contains 1.5ml of product. For example, jawline sculpting usually requires 2 syringes, while hyperdilute hand treatments may need 1-2 syringes per hand. During your consultation, Dr. Schwarzburg will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the appropriate amount of Radiesse to achieve your goals.
Is Radiesse Safe?
Yes, Radiesse is FDA-approved and has a high safety profile when administered by an experienced physician like Dr. Schwarzburg. Its biocompatible composition meets rigorous testing standards.
Can I Reverse Radiesse If I Don’t Like the Results?
Unlike hyaluronic acid-based fillers, Radiesse cannot be reversed with hyaluronidase due to its unique calcium hydroxylapatite composition. However, Radiesse is not permanent, and its effects will gradually diminish over time, typically lasting 12-24 months. Choosing an experienced injector like Dr. Schwarzburg is crucial to ensure precise and satisfying results.
Do Injections Hurt?
Radiesse injections are well tolerated, with minimal discomfort. A medical-grade numbing cream can be applied, and alternative options like ProNox are available to enhance comfort.
What is the Cost of Radiesse?
The cost of Radiesse in NYC generally ranges between $900 and $1400 per syringe. The final price depends on the complexity of the treatment, the number of syringes needed, and the provider’s expertise. At Skinly Aesthetics, we provide value through package deals and special promotions, including a 20% discount for new patients on their first treatment, ensuring top-quality aesthetic services are within reach.
How Is Radiesse Different From Other Fillers?
Radiesse stands out from hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers like Sculptra due to its unique composition and dual-action benefits.
Made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel, Radiesse provides immediate volume and lift while stimulating collagen production for lasting results.
Unlike HA fillers, which provide more volume but last only 6-12 months with little collagen stimulation, Radiesse results typically last 12-24 months and are ideal for deeper wrinkles, facial contouring, and hand rejuvenation.
Compared to Sculptra, which gradually stimulates collagen over months, Radiesse offers instant enhancement and can be hyperdiluted for skin firming and tightening, making it a versatile choice for various aesthetic needs.
What is Radiesse Best For?
Radiesse, often dubbed the “liquid bone,” stands out due to its unique composition. Made from calcium hydroxylapatite gel microspheres, it integrates phosphate and calcium ions, key components found in bones. This gives Radiesse a thicker texture that, once administered, mirrors the density and feel of bone structures. Consequently, it’s the preferred choice for augmenting areas that demand a more bone-like consistency, notably during jawline augmentation, ensuring aesthetically pleasing and natural-feeling results.
What Other Treatments Complement Radiesse?
Radiesse can be combined with:
- CoolSculpting for double chin and Kybella for jawline contouring.
- Sculptra for buttock enhancement.
- Morpheus8 microneedling for skin rejuvenation.
- AquaGold and Skin Boosters for hydration and youthful skin.
Is Radiesse Worth It?
Absolutely! Radiesse offers immediate and long-lasting results, enhancing your natural beauty with minimal downtime. It is a valuable investment in your appearance and confidence.
