How does NYC Radiesse treatment achieve lasting facial contouring?

Radiesse is a unique cosmetic treatment, used to augment and contour soft tissues, reducing lines, folds, and wrinkles. It is a type of dermal filler, and shares many characteristics with Restylane, Juvéderm, and similar products. Like other fillers, it provides immediate improvement by adding volume. However, it also has some unique features that put Radiesse in a class by itself.

How Radiesse is different

Radiesse is a volumizing gel filler, but it is more than that. Within the smooth gel base, there are tiny microspheres of CaHA (Calcium Hydroxylapatite). This mineral-like substance is naturally present in the human body, making it safe and biocompatible. The fine particles serve as scaffolding, providing a foundation for natural collagen growth. After treatment, the gel is gradually absorbed, but the volume remains because the microspheres, along with newly developing collagen, are still present. In a slower process, the CaHA is metabolized by the body. By the time that happens, natural collagen has taken over, so the volume still remains.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite fillers were originally used in reconstructive surgery and dentistry, due to the longevity of treatment. Radiesse has brought the benefits of collagen stimulation and long lasting volumization to patients around the world. It is approved by the FDA for use in correcting moderate to severe folds and wrinkles on the face.

Is Radiesse better?

Often, the first question that patients ask is what product is best. The simple answer to that is "all of them." At The New York Aesthetic Consultants in NYC, we strive to deliver the best possible experience and results for every patient, at every visit. Therefore, we only utilize products, techniques, and technologies that we believe are exceptional. Each patient's skin conditions, type, tone, texture, and aesthetic goals are unique. The very best solution for another person may not be a good option for you, and the reverse is true. That is why we use a wide variety of treatments. After an in-depth consultation, your provider will recommend the best one for you. That may include Radiesse for some deeper areas, along with Juvederm or Belotero for other areas or to be layered on top of the Radiesse for a multi-plane treatment to give the best three dimensional result.
