Radiesse

radiesseRadiesse Cosmetic, previously known as Radiance, is the natural alternative treatment for patients who want immediate results.

Radiesse is a proven treatment for removing well-defined wrinkles or creases that show up between the nose, mouth and other facial areas, along with correcting acne scars and thin lips. Radiesse is made from a material that occurs naturally in our own body tissues, and is a popular alternative to bovine and solid implant materials.

At Abramson Facial Plastic Surgery & Rejuvenation Center, we treat the following areas with Radiesse:

  • Nasolabial folds (areas around the nose)
  • Perioral lines
  • Lip enhancement for thin lips
  • Depressed scars (from acne or other trauma)
  • Oral commissures

Radiesse has been used successfully for several years in prosthetic implants in dental, facial and orthopedic surgery. Radiesse treatments can be done at the same time as other facial rejuvenation procedures such as laser treatment, chemical peels or facial surgery.

There are many benefits to Radiesse procedures, such as:

  • Radiesse is proven to be safe, effective and long-lasting.
  • Radiesse offers immediate results.
  • Radiesse treatments require no pre-testing.
  • Radiesse treatments are given in our office.
  • Radiesse treatments do not create allergic reactions.
  • Radiesse treatments can be done alone or with other procedures.
  • Radiesse treatment results can last for years!

Radiesse Procedure Overview

When you choose Radiesse treatment at Abramson Facial Plastic Surgery & Rejuvenation Center, the procedure will go as follows:

  • Using a very fine needle, Radiesse will be injected into soft tissue just under the skin. This tissue then takes on the properties of the tissue into which it is injected.
  • If injected into bone tissue, it will harden.
  • If injected into soft tissue, it will remain pliable.
  • Radiesse treatment involves very little discomfort. A local anesthetic will be used.
  • Bruising at the injection sites can be covered with mineral makeup. We recommend Jane Iredale mineral cosmetic makeup.

Radiesse offers an immediate radiant, refreshed look! It is a safe, effective, FDA-approved alternative to other cosmetic fillers, and the results from treatments normally last between 2-5 years. Many Abramson Facial Plastic Surgery & Rejuvenation Center patients choose Radiesse instead of surgery, but many also choose it as a complement to a facial cosmetic surgical procedure. For whatever reason you choose Radiesse, we’re confident you, too, will be very pleased with your more refreshed, more youthful appearance!
