radiesse in Westlake Village

Radiesse is a dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) gel microspheres. When injected, these work immediately to add volume and to induce collagen production.  CaHa is made of phosphate and calcium, which occur naturally in the human body.   An advanced, newer, and highly effective use of Radiesse is blending it with lidocaine and saline to achieve a thinner consistency for injection into a desired area with a cannula.  This will add immediate volume and stimulate collagen production over the next 4-6 weeks.  

Hyperdilute Radiesse injections offer several benefits for improving skin quality and appearance. Here are some of the key advantages:

1. Skin Rejuvenation: Hyperdilute Radiesse adds immediate volume to correct volume loss.  When injected into the skin, it helps to hydrate and plump the skin, reduce signs of wrinkles, and improve its texture and radiance. This can result in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

2. Collagen Stimulation: Radiesse also contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, which stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that provides structure and firmness to the skin. By promoting collagen synthesis, hyperdilute Radiesse injections can help to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles over time.

3. Natural-Looking Results: Unlike traditional dermal fillers, which can sometimes create a noticeable “filled” or “overdone” look, hyperdilute Radiesse injections typically produce very natural-looking results. The filler is injected in small, precise amounts to enhance the skin’s texture and appearance without adding excessive volume or stiffness.

4. Versatility: Hyperdilute Radiesse injections can be used almost in any area where you have skin laxity, volume loss, and uneven texture. It can be applied to various areas of the face, neck, décolletage, inner upper arms, buttocks, abdomen, above the knees and hands, making it a versatile option for overall skin rejuvenation.

5. Long-Lasting Results: While individual results may vary, the effects of hyperdilute Radiesse injections can last for over a year, depending on factors such as the patient’s age, skin condition, and lifestyle factors. With proper maintenance and follow-up treatments, patients can enjoy sustained improvements in skin quality and appearance.

6. Minimal Downtime: Hyperdilute Radiesse injections are typically associated with minimal downtime compared to more invasive cosmetic procedures. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after treatment, although some temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites may occur.
