Is RADIESSE Safe?
Yes, RADIESSE is FDA-approved and considered safe for use in facial treatments. It’s made from calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance naturally found in your body, which minimizes the risk of adverse reactions.
During Treatment
During your RADIESSE treatment, a qualified specialist will begin by cleansing your skin and applying a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. The RADIESSE filler is then carefully injected into targeted areas using a fine needle. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure, but discomfort is minimal. The specialist will gently massage the area to ensure the even distribution of the filler. The procedure typically takes around 15-30 minutes, and you can resume most activities immediately afterward with minimal downtime.
After Treatment
After your treatment, you might experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days. You can resume most activities immediately, but it’s advisable to avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for the first 24-48 hours. The results typically start to appear immediately, with optimal effects becoming fully visible within a few weeks as the filler integrates and stimulates collagen production. Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to ensure the best outcome.
