Radiesse®

It’s normal to consider dermal fillers for your anti-aging goals if you prefer to avoid surgery. That’s because dermal fillers are an excellent way to refresh your look without downtime or recovery. However, it’s important to know that some injectables can go above and beyond basic hyaluronic acid fillers. One option is Radiesse®, an injectable option that provides long-lasting, natural results.

What is Radiesse®?

Radiesse® Procedure

Radiesse® treatments can be performed at our Atlanta office with the help of a topical numbing cream. Your expert injector will place the product under the surface of the skin using a very fine needle in areas that can benefit from increased collagen production. This process can take as little as fifteen minutes, after which you can return home.

Radiesse® Results and Maintenance

After Radiesse® treatments, you can expect some redness and sensitivity at your injection sites, but this subsides quickly. You’ll see noticeable volume in your treatment areas after each session, but your results will continue to improve in the weeks and months following as your body generates new collagen. As the product fades and is metabolized, it leaves behind natural, volumizing collagen. These results can last for up to a year, after which you can return for touch-up appointments as needed. We can recommend additional treatments and products to boost your results so you can enjoy them for the long term.
