How RADIESSE® Can Help Patients Achieve a More Youthful Appearance

As we age, our skin naturally loses volume and elasticity, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and a more tired appearance. For those looking to rejuvenate their face without surgery, RADIESSE fillers offer an effective solution. At Ageless Skin and Laser Center in Hagerstown, MD, board-certified nurse practitioner Michelle Eyler specializes in using RADIESSE to help patients achieve a more youthful, refreshed look by restoring volume loss, smoothing out deep lines and wrinkles, and enhancing facial balance and harmony overall. Take a closer look here at the many exciting ways that RADIESSE filler injections may give your look and confidence a boost.

Why does my face look older than I really am?

As we age, the skin's collagen and elastin production gradually decrease, leading to a loss of firmness and elasticity. This natural decline, combined with factors such as sun exposure, smoking, and repetitive facial expressions, contributes to the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Additionally, the fat pads beneath the skin that provide youthful contours begin to diminish and shift, causing hollowed cheeks, sagging skin, and deepened facial folds. Volume loss is particularly noticeable in areas like the cheeks, around the mouth, and along the jawline. These changes can make you look older than you feel or older than your actual age, but RADIESSE fillers can help restore volume and smooth out these signs of aging, giving you a more youthful appearance.

How does RADIESSE work to make you look younger?

RADIESSE is a unique dermal filler containing calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected into the skin, RADIESSE provides immediate volume and lift to the treated area, effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles and folds. What sets RADIESSE apart from other fillers is its ability to stimulate your body's natural collagen production over time. As the gel carrier is absorbed by the body, the CaHA microspheres create a scaffolding-like structure that encourages collagen growth, providing long-lasting results. This dual-action approach not only addresses current signs of aging but also helps improve the skin's structure and elasticity in the long term. The results of RADIESSE can last up to a year or more, making it a popular choice for those seeking a lasting enhancement to their appearance with fewer trips to their provider's office.

Why should I get RADIESSE vs. other fillers?

Choosing RADIESSE fillers offers a range of benefits for those looking to enhance their facial appearance. Some of the primary advantages of RADIESSE include:

• Immediate volume restoration
• Long-lasting results
• Stimulates collagen production
• Natural-looking outcomes
• Versatile treatment areas

Still, there are many other dermal fillers and even injectable wrinkle relaxers that may be just as effective or even more suitable for your unique needs and goals. Michelle or an experienced member of our aesthetic team will work closely with you to create a customized facial rejuvenation plan using the most appropriate combination of cosmetic injectables and other treatments or products.

How soon does RADIESSE start working?

The RADIESSE injection process typically takes about 30 minutes and involves minimal discomfort, as a local anesthetic is used to numb the treatment area. After the treatment, you may experience some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects usually subside within a few days. You can return to your normal activities almost immediately, though we may recommend pausing strenuous physical activity for up to two days after RADIESSE. Unlike wrinkle relaxers, which can take about a week to take effect, RADIESSE and other fillers boast almost instantly visible preliminary results, with the optimal results becoming more apparent as swelling diminishes. The rejuvenating effects of RADIESSE can last up to 12 – 18 months, making it a convenient and effective option for maintaining a youthful appearance over time.
