FAQ

The science bit...

Radiesse works in two ways:

Immediate Volumization: The CaHA microspheres are suspended in a gel carrier that instantly plumps up the skin, smoothing out wrinkles and adding volume where needed.

Collagen Stimulation: Over time, the gel is absorbed by the body, and the CaHA particles stimulate collagen production, resulting in longer-lasting skin rejuvenation.

What are the benefits?

• Provides instant and long-lasting results
• Stimulates natural collagen production for continued improvement
• Adds volume to sagging or hollowed areas
• Enhances facial contours and definition
• Non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment with minimal downtime
• Can be used for facial rejuvenation as well as hand augmentation

Treatment Areas?

Radiesse is commonly used to treat:

• Jawline and chin contouring

• Cheek augmentation

• Pre-jowl folds

What happens during the procedure?

Consultation: Dr Sabrina (or a member of her team) will assess your needs and determine if Radiesse is the right treatment for you.

Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort.

Injection: Radiesse is injected using a fine needle or cannula, strategically placed to achieve optimal results.

Post-Treatment Care: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days. You can resume most normal activities immediately after treatment.

How long do results last?

Radiesse provides immediate volume enhancement, with results that can last 12 to 18 months depending on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and treatment area. Since it stimulates collagen production, improvements may continue even after the product has been metabolized by the body.

Who is a good candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse is ideal for individuals looking to restore lost volume, smooth deep lines, and enhance facial contours without undergoing surgery. It is not recommended for individuals who:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Have severe allergies or bleeding disorders

Have an active skin infection at the treatment site
