Hi everyone! Today, I want to talk to you about an exciting offering at The Medi-Shed called Radiesse. Well, Radiesse is not exactly new - it's been a trusted name in the world of medical aesthetics for over 20 years, supported by more than 200 clinical studies proving its excellent safety profile. This is why we are thrilled to offer Radiesse at The Medi-Shed.
We all know that collagen loss is a key factor in skin ageing—it's a subject I talk about A LOT! Many treatments we offer aim to increase collagen production in different ways. When we are young, collagen is organised in a dense network that keeps our skin firm, smooth, and radiant. Over time, this network loosens, and less collagen is produced. As a result, you begin to see the common signs of ageing, such as skin sagging and wrinkles.
However, we must understand that all five layers of our face age - the skin, superficial fat, muscle, deep fat, and bone. This is why we always need a multi-modality approach to age-appropriate facial rejuvenation.
What is RADIESSE+?
Most dermal fillers are made with a naturally occurring substance called hyaluronic acid (HA). RADIESSE+ is different; it is made with calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), which is stiffer than HA gel fillers and therefore provides excellent support in areas such as the cheek bone, chin, and jawline. RADIESSE+ lasts 12-14 months and stimulates collagen production, making it great for adding structure to the lower face.
How Does RADIESSE Work?
RADIESSE is composed of tiny microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite (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 the gel, leaving behind your own newly formed natural collagen. Your skin is left with improved structure and quality, offering immediate and long-lasting, natural-looking results.
What Does the Treatment Involve?
Following your consultation, the treatment session will typically take about 30 minutes. During the session, RADIESSE+ is injected into the specific area with a needle or cannula.
How Soon Will I See Effects from My RADIESSE Treatment?
Depending on the treatment performed, the effect 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.
How Long Do the Effects of RADIESSE Last?
The duration of the results depends on age, skin type, lifestyle, metabolism, and, of course, the area treated. RADIESSE results are particularly durable, lasting up to 12 to 18 months.
What is Hyperdiluted Radiesse?
Hyperdiluted Radiesse is simply a form of Radiesse that has been diluted or thinned out using a sterile saline solution. This mixture makes it an easily manageable and spreadable biostimulator capable of skin remodelling over a larger area. When this diluted mixture is injected into areas where collagen has been lost, it triggers the body to produce new sets of collagen and elastin. The result is a skin rejuvenating treatment that provides smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin. People benefit from Hyperdiluted Radiesse by having tightened and thickened skin and a much-reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and creepiness. Additionally, treatments of the décolletage will help reduce pigmentation caused by sun damage. Overall, there is a remarkable improvement in skin tone, texture, and elasticity.
How Does It Work?
Hyperdiluted Radiesse comprises thinned-out calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel microspheres that work their magic immediately upon injection. CaHA is composed of ions of phosphate and calcium, which are naturally produced in the human body. These injectable gels initially fill in all the volume you want. Over time, the CaHA starts stimulating your naturally-occurring collagen, allowing your skin to begin creating more of its natural fillers. Eventually, the CaHA is absorbed back into the body, leaving all the new collagen produced in its place. Because of the fantastic science behind Hyperdiluted Radiesse, treatment results are known to last for over a year, possibly longer in some cases. Facial massage is essential twice daily post-treatment for a week to allow for good product integration.
How Much Downtime is Needed After Treatment?
There is normally minimal downtime required after being treated with RADIESSE. Swelling, possible bruising, and numbness are common following treatment and usually resolve within 7 to 10 days. You should avoid sun exposure, tanning lights, saunas, and intense facial treatments for one week after treatment.
I hope you have found this interesting. As ever, every face is different, and consultation is key!
