Radiesse is made up of tiny beads of calcium hydroxylapatite and has FDA approval. Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) has been safely used in the body for many reasons including dental applications where bone build-up is needed for reconstruction and also in block form for cosmetic applications such as cheek, jaw, cranial and chin implants.

Radiesse is not a permanent filler. It is a long lasting, resorbable filler – with the effect claimed to last approximately 2 years depending on the client and the area treated.

Once injected into your skin, the smooth and spherical CaHA particles form a ‘scaffold’ which stimulates your own cells to produce collagen around the spheres. The gel carrier dissolves within a few months and over time, the CaHA particles gradually break down and are completely metabolised by the body, leaving only the new collagen structure.

Radiesse wears well in the hands and provides an instant cushion replacement. The depressions between the tendons and veins are refilled so both the bony appearance and the vein prominences (and the dark color of the veins) are reduced, giving your hands a softer, fuller appearance that signifies youth.

Injections in the back of the hands might be assumed to be painful, but in reality the procedure is virtually painless. It generally takes less than 30 minutes to inject both hands.

Prior to the treatment:  Our specialist doctor will complete a medical examination and discuss the individual treatment plan for you.
Treatment : The Radiesse is mixed with Lidocaine aneasthetic prior to use so that the nerve endings in the skin are anesthetized. A “bolus” or “ball” of Radiesse is injected and then massaged into the volume-deficient areas. The product is easily massaged into place, and remains in those areas so the skin is smooth and even.

Post Treatment: Most people find that they can return to work the following day after this procedure. With any dermal filler treatment, there is a risk of post treatment effects such as slightly swelling and bruising. These affects are normal and usually subside within a few days.

After Care: Keep the treated area clean and avoid touching or put any product on for 6 hours after the treatment. Specfic after care instructions will be provided and discussed with you during your visit by our Clinic Coordinator.

The treatment provides an immediate result. However, the hands may swell slightly. This means that the result directly after the treatment may not be the final result. The swelling typically resolves spontaneously within a couple of days. To achieve the result you want it is recommended to have a touch-up treatment 2 to 4 weeks after the initial session. This will also add to the duration of the treatment effect.

The result generally last 12 months or even longer. The longevity of these products is variable and each individual may obtain a different result. A plan for regular follow-up treatments to maintain the initial result can be created for you. Our treatment provides a long-lasting but not permanent result leaving you the option of refining your treatment in tune with changing taste and fashion.

Recovery time

There is very little to no down-time involved in the procedure. In fact, most patients return to their normal, daily activities right after their visit.

After the treatment(s) some common injection-related reactions may occur, such as swelling, redness, pain, itching, discoloration and tenderness at the injection site but generally they are not significant. These typically resolve spontaneously within 2 to 10 days.

Mild bruising or a slight blush might appear at the injection site immediately following treatment and may last for 2-10 days.

All of the below increase bruising. To avoid swelling and bruising, you should avoid taking:

Aspirin, Exedrin, ibuprofen, Aleve or Advil for 1 week before and 2 days after. Tylenol is always fine.
Vitamin E (or multivitamin) or St. John’s Wort for 2-3 days before or after.
Avoid exercise except for walking for 24 hours after the procedure.
