The shared belief that it is possible and desirable to improve one's appearance drives more and more individuals to seek valid and lasting solutions to their aesthetic imperfections.
After all, if even young people understandably aspire to appear more beautiful and attractive, it is just as understandable that everyone wishes to improve the imperfections caused by aging or unhealthy lifestyles. If it is true that our entire physique conveys a general impression of ourselves, it is almost obvious to say that the face is our business card in interpersonal relationships. Those who want to regain a youthful appearance usually focus on wrinkles that give us a "weathered" look, but to counteract the signs of aging it is also essential to restore volume to facial features.
With the advent of new techniques in aesthetic medicine treatments, increasingly effective and more affordable, therapies that were once the exclusive domain of wealthy public figures especially in show business, are now accessible to everyone. Without resorting to surgical solutions, which are highly invasive and often painful, there is now a highly effective solution to shape sagging and toneless areas of our face. Its name is: Radiesse.
Radiesse: what is it
Radiesse is a safe and tested facial treatment that has earned the CE certification of the European Union for product safety and the authorization of the highly rigorous U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration). It is a recent innovation in Italy, but in the United States, it now accounts for over 50% of the fillers used in aesthetic medicine. It is a unique filler that produces an instant lifting effect, eliminating moderate to severe wrinkles and facial folds, and restoring tone and volume to the intradermal and subcutaneous soft tissue in critical areas such as the cheeks, cheekbones and chin.
Radiesse consists of 30% synthetic CaHA microspheres (calcium hydroxylapatite) in an aqueous gel solution (70%). The microspheres, measuring between 25 and 45 microns, are composed of calcium and phosphate ions elements also found in skin tissue, bones and teeth which makes this product highly effective and 100% biocompatible. Compared to other fillers, it also allows for a 25–30% reduction in the amount injected.
Using Radiesse stimulates the formation of new natural collagen, which restores volume to "deflated" areas and remodels the skin, making it smoother and more radiant. In essence, it has an immediate filling action and at the same time a corrective effect on wrinkles and imperfections.
Radiesse is the ideal product for restoring the so-called "triangle of youth" (V-shaped), the harmonious V-shape characteristic of a youthful face, redefining the jawline and toning facial tissues in a physiological way. Unlike other hyaluronic acid based fillers, it also provides more natural and longer-lasting results.
The Radiesse procedure is particularly recommended for the treatment of the following areas:
Cheekbones: restores cheekbone volume (V-shaped).- Cheeks: restores a full and proportionate look.
- Nasolabial folds: Radiesse smooths and tones the tissues responsible for the wrinkles that run from the nose to the sides of the mouth, which give a sad and aged expression.
- Marionette lines: Radiesse also produces a lifting effect to eliminate these unsightly lines that run from the sides of the mouth to the chin.
- Jawline: restores regular and well-defined contours to the jaw.
- Chin: adds volume to a receding chin, improving the profile.
- Temples: filling effect for "hollowed" temples.
- Earlobes: Radiesse restores firmness, volume and softness to the earlobes.
- Back of the hands: Radiesse restores volume to aged skin on the hands, hiding visible tendons and veins.
With appropriate dilution, Radiesse treatment also guarantees excellent results in rejuvenating the neck and décolleté.
Radiesse: how it works
Radiesse is injected with the addition of an anesthetic (2% lidocaine), which makes the procedure completely painless. Thanks to the product’s physical properties, long and extremely thin needles or microcannulas can be used.
Two or three injections per side of the face are performed and just a couple of sessions are enough for a complete facial treatment. The effects of the treatment are immediately visible. Radiesse is a 100% biocompatible and biodegradable product in the human body. In fact, it is fully eliminated by the body over time, while still preserving its benefits thanks to the natural collagen production it triggers.
Radiesse: side effects and contraindications
Since Radiesse is a completely biocompatible product, it is not necessary to undergo an allergy test and the treatment can be approached in complete safety. As previously mentioned, the procedure is absolutely painless and the chance of bruising or hematoma is minimal. Post-treatment swelling is also not observed. There may only be a slight redness that typically disappears within a few hours.
Patients can immediately resume their daily social and professional activities without any discomfort. There are practically no contraindications. However, it is necessary to inform the doctor if you are taking anticoagulant medications, as in such cases slight bruising may occur, though they are reabsorbed in a couple of days.
