Radiesse
An injectable implant, Radiesse is soft, safe and lasts longer than many other dermal fillers. It is particularly suitable for contouring and defining the jaw line and cheeks, in order to improve the face shape and restore a more youthful appearance. Radiesse won't produce a toxic or allergic response and you do not need to have an allergy test prior to treatment.
What are the benefits of Radiesse and who is it suitable for?
Radiesse is suitable for men and women of any age who want to improve and define the shape of their jaw or cheeks. Radiesse is perfect for reducing jowls, giving cheekbones more fullness and generally improving the contours of the face.
What does this treatment involve?
The creamy formula is injected into the area being treated through a fine needle. Radiesse is made from a biocompatible formula, which means it won’t produce a toxic or allergic response, so you do not need to have an allergy test prior to treatment.
How long does it take?
This is completely dependant on which areas are being treated, but the treatment usually takes about 30 – 50 minutes.
What results can I expect from Radiesse and how long do the results last for?
The results are immediate and last for around two years. Radiesse stays soft and pliable and will take on the characteristics of the skin, giving a completely natural result. The filler gradually breaks down over a period of about two years, eventually leaving no trace at all. It is ideal if you prefer a non-permanent, non-surgical procedure.
What is the recovery time following Radiesse treatments?
No recovery time is necessary. You may return home immediately and carry on your activities as usual.
Does Radiesse carry any associated risks or side effects?
There may be mild swelling or redness in the treated area, but this will settle within one or two days.
Can Radiesse be used in conjunction with other treatments?
Radiesse can be used alongside muscle relaxants and other cosmetic procedures. If you are considering other cosmetic procedures, we can provide you with advice during your consultation.
Who will be performing the treatment?
Our highly trained nurse therapist, who has been performing this treatment for many years and also trains other doctors and nurses in injection techniques.
How does the process work?
The first step is to arrange a free consultation at our Chester dermal filler clinic with the nurse therapist. She will assess your requirements, talk through the procedure and give you all the Radiesse information you need. If you decide you would like to proceed with the treatment, an appointment can be arranged for you to have the procedure at our Chester Clinic. Because it is not necessary to have a skin test, the treatment can be carried out straight after the consultation if you prefer. It is important to us that you feel entirely comfortable with every element of the treatment, so there will be no pressure to proceed and we will be happy to answer any queries you may have.
