Radiesse 1.5 is an advanced dermal filler used for facial contouring and wrinkle reduction. It is particularly effective for deep wrinkles and volume loss in the face and hands. The main component of Radiesse 1.5 is calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which are suspended in a gel carrier. This formulation not only provides immediate volume and correction but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production over time. Please note that Radiesse 1.5 does not contain lidocaine.
Key Benefits:
Immediate Volume: Radiesse 1.5 offers instant volume and lifting to the treated areas, providing noticeable improvements right after the injection. Collagen Stimulation: The CaHA microspheres in Radiesse 1.5 stimulate the natural production of collagen, leading to long-lasting results as the body generates new collagen around the microspheres. Durability: Results from Radiesse 1.5 can last up to 12-18 months, making it a long-lasting solution compared to other dermal fillers. Versatility: It is suitable for treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and for hand rejuvenation by restoring volume loss in the back of the hands. Treatment Areas:
Nasolabial Folds: Also known as smile lines, these folds run from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Marionette Lines: Lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. Pre-Jowl Folds: The areas on either side of the chin, where sagging skin can create a jowl appearance. Chin Wrinkles: Horizontal lines that can form across the chin. Hand Rejuvenation: Radiesse 1.5 can be used to restore volume and smooth the appearance of the hands. Procedure:
Consultation: A thorough consultation with a qualified healthcare provider to assess the areas that need treatment and to discuss the patient's goals. Preparation: The skin is cleaned, and a local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort. Injection: Radiesse 1.5 is injected into the targeted areas using a cannula. The procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Post-Treatment Care: Patients may experience minor swelling or bruising, but these effects are usually temporary. Normal activities can generally be resumed immediately after treatment. Safety and Side Effects:
Radiesse 1.5 is FDA-approved and has been widely used with a good safety profile. However, as with any injectable treatment, there can be side effects, including:
Redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. Itching or tenderness. Rarely, nodules or bumps under the skin, which may require additional treatment. It is essential to have Radiesse 1.5 administered by a trained and experienced medical professional to minimize risks and ensure optimal results.
Radiesse 1.5ml is a highly effective dermal filler for those looking to address deep wrinkles, facial folds, and volume loss in the hands.
