RADIESSE™
We are excited to offer a new wave of regenerative aesthetics at PHI. Radiesse is a biostimulator (not just a dermal filler) that is used for long-term contouring and vertical lift. Regenerative aesthetics like Radiesse can support healthier tissue that stimulate your cells to produce more Type 1 collagen. Upon injection, the Radiesse CaHA gel matrix provides immediate improvement. Radiesse particles then integrate into your skin and create a “scaffold” that stimulates production of collagen and elastin.
PHI uses Radiesse on the lower face, neck and hands. Radiesse is indicated and often preferred when treating patients who desire a more defined chiseled result, as is typical with the male jawline. We also love Radiesse to treat neck lines typical with tech neck and aging. After Radiesse, you will find tissue that is not just filled but is firmer and tighter due to the development of elastin, increases blood supply and improved cell turnover.
Radiesse is also used for rejuvenating the appearance of aging hands. As we age our hands become thinner with the appearance of bones, veins, and tendons. Radiesse can be used to restore volume and tighten the skin on the hands, giving a more youthful appearance.
Who is a good candidate for Radiesse?
You are 18 years old or older.
In overall good health.
Not pregnant or breastfeeding.
Non-smokers are ideal candidates due to the healing process. Smoking can cause the body to take longer to heal post-treatment
Those who want to restore volume loss and refreshen their appearance due to the anti-aging process
Those interested in enhancing their jawline or chin or rejuvenating their hands
Have realistic expectations of the treatment and results
What to expect during the treatment:
On average, your treatment will vary depending on the area but will take approximately 1 hour. Depending on the area you have decided to treat after your consultation, a topical numbing cream and ice pack will be applied to keep you comfortable.
Our Nurse Injectors will choose the most appropriate injection technique based on the area you want treated. The two most common injection technique are: needle technique or cannula technique. Both can be used in combination to achieve best results and this can be discussed during the consultation. The treatment itself is straight forward and our Nurse Injectors will ensure you are comfortable as they inject the filler. Once treatment is completed, you can ice the area as needed to reduce any swelling or bruising.
