Wrinkles are usually the first signs that a person is beginning to age. They can appear out of nowhere, and even if a person maintains a healthy diet and lifestyle, takes good care of the face, and have no vices, wrinkles inevitably appear. Makeup can only do so much, which is why the plastic surgery industry has created many procedures to deal with this problem. From the full facelift, to BOTOX injections, the industry has many options. Among these options, however, one has been developed as a very natural, very effective, and very safe way to deal with wrinkles. This is called the Radiesse filler.
The Radiesse dermal filler uses microspheres, calcium-based particles that are suspended in a water-based gel that is injected into the skin. This injecting procedure is minimally invasive, which in itself already has the benefit of not requiring any surgery, thus eliminating the need for physical trauma and a long recovery time afterwards. It also makes the procedure very quick, and can be done well within the span of an hour. The results appear instantly, and the change can be seen as soon as the procedure is done.
But what makes Radiesse special, is that unlike treatments that only have a tightening and lifting effect, Radiesse actually continues to work as time goes on, stimulating a process called collagenesis, which is the production and growth of new collagen around the injection area. So instead of just “tightening and lifting” the target area, Radiesse actually helps the body prevent the wrinkles from coming back in the future. Radiesse gives results that can last for up to a year, with best case patients reporting results that lasted almost double the average time.
Its calcium-based composition makes Radiesse a very natural method of wrinkle removal. When Radiesse is injected, it almost instantly adds shape and volume to the target area, and safely contours, beautifies, or corrects the problem areas.
It is very safe, having been tested thoroughly over the years. Its biocompatible composition makes it very nearly identical to what is found naturally in a person’s body, which virtually eliminates any risks of an allergic reaction, and reduces side effects to a bare minimum. This is why Radiesse has two FDA approvals and a number of FDA clearances.
Anyone who wishes to eliminate, or prevent wrinkles, can opt for the Radiesse treatment. Younger patients can use it to eliminate newly appearing wrinkles and to prevent them from coming back early on, and older patients can use it to eliminate existing wrinkles and slow down the aging process. And with Radiesse’s costs and many different financing options available, the treatment is reachable by anyone as well.
Radiesse treatment is relatively more affordable than most other surgical facial wrinkle treatments. With its price range between $650-$800 per injection, it is more expensive than other fillers, but less expensive than facelift surgery. This cost can be offset, however, by Radiesse’s longer lasting results, which require less frequent treatments, resulting in less spending down the road.
