One of the best treatments for wrinkles is Radiesse. This filler is used for moderate to severe wrinkles and folds on the face, to restore volume loss in the hands for less visible veins and tendons, and to contour the jawline.
Where Can Radiesse Be Used?
Radiesse helps improve moderate to severe wrinkles and folds in the face. These areas include the coroners of the mouth, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds (the folding of skin between the nose and mouth, also known as smile lines). Radiesse can also help replenish lost volume on the face, such as on the cheeks.
In addition to using Radiesee in the face to improve wrinkles and volume loss, Radiesse can also be used in the hands. Radiesee is used in the hands to replenish lost volume, reducing the appearance of veins and tendons on the hands, and making them appear more youthful and smooth.
Finally, Radiesse can also help give more definition to the jawline. When placed along the jawline, it can contour it for a more chiseled, sharp, defined look to the lower face.
How Does Radiesse Help Reduce Wrinkles on the Face?
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based filler. This is a highly biocompatible material that fills out spaces wherever it is injected before being absorbed by the body. The filler works by filling out the spots under the skin where it’s placed, added volume in problem areas prevents dynamic wrinkles and skin folds from forming.
In addition, injecting Radiesse helps stimulate collagen production in the treated areas. Collagen, of which production decreases with age, helps to improve skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Getting Radiesse Injections
Treatment takes about 15 minutes (depending on how many areas are being worked on), and there is no downtime associated with getting Radiesse injections. Results are immediately visible and will continue to improve over time as your skin’s natural collagen production ramps up. Results may last up to a year.
Wondering how to get rid of facial wrinkles and get along with replenishing volume in the hands and/or shaping the jawline? Radiesse is a top-of-the-line option. I love using this on my patients because it provides strong wrinkle and facial fold help while also not resulting in an “overdone” look since the filler moves with your face.
