The Aging Process
Aging skin loses natural support structures that keep skin supple and youthful. As the years go by, collagen and elastin diminish within the skin, and this can result in wrinkles and creases. The Harvard Medical School has even taking a look at aging and ways to age gracefully. Below is a graphic depiction of what happens as we age and we undergo volume loss in our facial fat pads. With RADIESSE we can replace our natural volume loss and keep a Refreshed and youthful appearance.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse® Volumizing Filler is a wrinkle filler that is injected and restores facial volume and smoothens out the signs of aging. It is made from tiny calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. The calcium microspheres are similar to minerals found naturally in the body, so allergy testing is not required. The body absorbs the microspheres and gel, and overtime only the natural collagen is left behind.
How it Works
RADIESSE is injected through a small needle and placed under the skin. Immediately, this filler works to add volume under the skin and over time, the benefits of RADIESSE continue by stimulating your body’s own natural collagen. The natural results have been shown to last a year or more in many patients, making the treatment results both immediate and long lasting. Follow this link to Radiesse.com to watch a video demonstration of Radiesse in action and see how it works.
RADIESSE is comprised of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. Once injected, it provides immediate volume and correction but continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen. Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres leaving behind only your own natural collagen.
We love using Radiesse for lift and volume and use it in combination with Belotero to take away the fine lines as the finishing touch for a natural and refreshed look.

10 Tips to Minimize the Risk of Bruising After Wrinkle Reducers & Dermal Fillers
Cosmetic injectable treatments, such as wrinkle reducers and dermal fillers, can work wonders in filling out lines and wrinkles, but they may cause temporary bruising and swelling. Many patients ask us how to minimize or prevent bruising, and the good news is that there's a lot you can do before and after your appointment to minimize any unsightly coloring – and in some cases, prevent it altogether.
No injector can guarantee that you won't bruise from injectable treatments, but to avoid serious side effects, it's always best to go to the most expert injector in your area. To be on the safe side, don't plan any special events for at least 2 weeks after your injectable appointment. Remember, treatments can take 1 to 2 weeks for results to fully settle in, so unless something is really off, most minor problems will resolve with patience.
If you're just having a wrinkle reducer treatment (Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin), these suggestions are still good to follow, even though bruising is less common. However, dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, Sculptra, and Bellafill are slightly more invasive, and following these instructions will help prevent bruises or reduce their appearance more quickly. Please visit https://wellmedicalarts.com/pre-and-post-injectable-instructions/ for additional information and videos.
Here are a few pre and post-treatment tips that can help you avoid unnecessary bruising:
-
Avoid Aspirin & NSAIDs
-
Avoid Wine & Alcohol
-
Avoid Green Tea, Vitamin E, and Herbal Supplements
-
Skip the Gym
-
Choose a Qualified Injector
-
Apply Ice
-
Use Numbing Cream
-
Consider Anti-Bruising Supplements such as Arnica Montana
-
Practice Sun Protection
-
Plan Accordingly
If you do bruise, continue icing the affected areas, take Arnica as directed, and use a high-level concealer to hide temporary bruises. For lip bruises, lipstick can do the trick. The intensity and duration of your filler or Botox side effects will depend on the treatment aggressiveness and your individual healing characteristics, but they normally last for one to two weeks after the treatment.
