There’s a reason the popularity of dermal fillers has skyrocketed in recent years. Fillers are completely non-surgical, and you can get back to your day immediately after treatment. Radiesse® is one of the leading dermal fillers. Not only is it long-lasting, but Radiesse has been shown to build new collagen in the area in which it is injected. In this way, Radiesse offers the benefit of skin-smoothing collagen long after the filler itself dissipates.
Radiesse is a filler injected beneath the skin. It’s made up of microscopic spheres of a material known as calcium hydroxylapatite. Those microspheres are suspended within the gel that is injected beneath the skin. The calcium hydroxylapatite in Radiesse is a synthetic form of the same material naturally occurring in your bones. The spheres act as a scaffold, filling wrinkles while allowing your collagen to grow around the spheres. Eventually, the Radiesse is processed out of your body, but the supportive collagen remains. Cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Rebecca Fitzgerald also uses micro-cannulas to deliver the injectable in an efficient, pain-free, bruise-free way.
Possible treatment areas for Radiesse are:
Dr. Fitzgerald’s strong skills as a Radiesse injector led to her selection as a member of the elite Medical Education Faculty for Merz Pharmaceuticals, the makers of Radiesse. As such, she is responsible for mentoring other physicians in the correct and effective injection of Radiesse. Results typically last 1-2 years. The microspheres of CaHA have been shown to last up to seven years. Radiesse in Los Angeles should provide long-lasting correction. However, individual results may vary based on age, skin type, lifestyle, and muscle activity. Contact us to learn more about this filler.
One of the great things about Radiesse is that it can be combined with other dermal fillers to achieve the best results for each part of the face and each patient. Dr. Fitzgerald is very skilled at combining fillers in this way, providing a result that is both natural and beautiful. She may also recommend combining Radiesse with BOTOX®, or another neurotoxin such as Daxxify or Xeomin which can add to the duration of both products for pleasing long-term results.
Other benefits of Radiesse include:
Study results are now showing that Radiesse offers some of the same self-collagen production that Sculptra provides, though on a lesser level. Still, this means that even when all the Radiesse has left your skin, some new collagen that your own body produced has taken its place. Radiesse is a safe, effective and non-surgical method. It is extremely popular with Dr. Fitzgerald’s patients both for its immediate effectiveness and long duration.
