Radiesse is an award winning injectable filler that is used to enhance the facial area, neck, décolletage and backs of the hands. It stimulates the naturally occurring collagen in the skin to reveal a more youthful complexion. If you are looking to invest in your skin and discover the power of skin rejuvenation – read on to find out about Radiesse at Revitalise Skincare Clinic.
Collagen is key in skin ageing
At Revitalise Skincare Clinic, many patients come to us to discuss skin ageing. When we speak about skin ageing, one of the processes we are talking about is collagen loss. When we are young, collagen is organised in a dense network that keeps our skin firm, smooth and radiant. Over time, the network loosens and less collagen is produced. As a result, you begin to see the common signs of skin ageing such as sagging skin and wrinkles. If you’re looking for a treatment to help stimulate collagen production Radiesse might be the option for you.
How radiesse works
Radiesse is composed of a defined range of tiny microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) suspended in a gel. The CaHA microspheres activate the body’s natural processes to produce new collagen and elastin. Over time, your body breaks down these tiny microspheres and gel, leaving behind your own newly formed natural collagen.
The CaHA microspheres create scaffolds that stimulate key skin cells, known as fibroblasts, to produce collagen and elastin. Newly formed networks of collagen and elastin provide structural support and improve the skins quality.
Your questions answered
What does the treatment involve?
Prior to treatment, we will book you in for a personalised consultation with our Medical Practitioner Arvin. During this consultation, a skin analysis and medical history check will take place to ensure suitability. Following your consultation, the treatment session typically takes around 30 minutes. During the session, Radiesse is injected into the desired area with a needle or a cannula.
How soon will I see effects from Radiesse treatment?
Depending on the treatment performed, effects can be visible immediately after injection due to the lifting and contouring effects. Additionally, by stimulating your body’s own collagen and elastin production, the benefits of skin quality enhancement with Radiesse will continue to develop over time.
Treatment has an immediate lifting and contouring effect on signs of skin ageing. Immediately you will see wrinkles and folds are smoothed and the skin is more contoured. Full results of Radiesse treatment should display within a week.
How long do the effects of Radiesse last?
The duration of the results depend on age, skin type, lifestyle, metabolism, and the area treated. Radiesse results are normally particularly durable, lasting up to 12-18 months.
How much downtime is needed after treatment?
There is normally minimal downtime required after treatment and you can resume your normal daily activities shortly afterwards. Swelling, bruising and numbness are common side effects but usually resolve within 7 to 10 days.
After treatment you should avoid sun exposure, tanning lights, saunas and intense facial treatments for one week.
What do I need to consider when choosing a Radiesse Practitioner?
it is important to look for a clinic or healthcare professional who is well trained in the handling of injectables with a medical background – such as our Medical Nurse Prescriber Arvin at Revitalise Skincare Clinic.
