Combating the fine lines and wrinkles that come with age doesn’t require plastic surgery. In fact, our team at New U Women’s Clinic & Aesthetics in Yakima and Kennewick, Washington, is pleased to offer injectable treatments like Radiesse injections. Radiesse is versatile and makes turning back the hands of time easy with a single treatment. Let’s look at some frequently asked questions heard from our team.
What is Radiesse, and how does it work?
Radiesse is a dermal filler designed to smooth out wrinkles, restore volume, and rejuvenate your skin. It’s made from calcium-based microspheres suspended in a gel, filling in lines like marionette lines and stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. It offers immediate results with lasting improvement as your skin builds new collagen!
Are Radiesse injections safe?
Yes! Radiesse is FDA-approved and has been used for years to tackle signs of aging. Of course, like any cosmetic procedure, it must be administered by an advanced nurse injector and experienced staff to ensure the safest and most effective experience.
What areas can Radiesse treat?
Radiesse is incredibly versatile. It’s commonly used for marionette lines (the lines that run from the corners of your mouth downwards), nasolabial folds, and even to restore volume in the hands. Its primary goal is to address skin aging concerns.
Does getting Radiesse injections hurt?
Radiesse injections are usually very tolerable for most of our patients. Many Radiesse formulas include lidocaine, a numbing agent, to maximize your comfort. If you are worried about discomfort, your provider at our office can also apply a topical anesthetic to make the process a breeze.
How long does Radiesse last?
One of the best parts about Radiesse injections is their long-lasting effects. Most of our patients enjoy results for 12 to 18 months, making them a fantastic option if you are looking for results that last without constant maintenance.
What can I expect during my upcoming Radiesse treatment session?
Your session typically starts with a consultation with Dr. Rachel Fidino and her team to discuss your ultimate goals and determine the best treatment plan. After that, the injection process is quick, lasting around 15 to 30 minutes.
Are there any side effects I should know about?
Radiesse is well-tolerated, but like any injectable, there’s a chance of minor side effects, including mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These usually go away within a few days on their own. Our injectors provide tips on how to minimize any potential discomfort post-treatment.
Am I a good candidate for Radiesse?
If you want to smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and boost your natural collagen, Radiesse might be a perfect match! However, it’s not recommended for everyone, such as those with certain allergies or health conditions, so a consultation with our licensed provider is key to ensuring it’s right for you.
