Radiesse

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler that delivers impressive, yet natural-looking facial rejuvenation. It works by enhancing your body’s natural collagen, helping to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and restore volume to the face. Our Radiesse treatments are personalized and administered by our board-certified dermatologists to ensure optimal results. 

Conveniently located in Prosper, Texas and serving the greater Dallas-Fort Worth region, Lockhart Matter Dermatology invites you to book a consultation today and take your first step towards a more youthful appearance.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a unique, calcium-based dermal filler that stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. The microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) suspended in a water-based gel work to create an immediate volumizing effect, while also triggering collagen synthesis for long-lasting skin rejuvenation. This dual-action approach helps to restore volume, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Radiesse is a safe and effective treatment that can provide long-lasting results.

Benefits

• Immediate correction of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds
• Stimulation of natural collagen production
• Long-lasting results, typically up to a year or more
• Non-surgical treatment with minimal downtime
• Enhancing the overall volume and youthful appearance of the face

What Can Radiesse Treat?

Radiesse is incredibly versatile and can treat a range of facial aging concerns:

• Deep nasolabial folds
• Marionette lines
• Volume loss in the mid-face and cheeks

Ideal Candidates

Ideal candidates for Radiesse are men and women aged 21 or older and looking to address:

• Deep lines or creases around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds)
• Sagging or drooping corners of the mouth (marionette lines)
• Loss of volume in the cheeks
• Volume loss in the backs of the hands

Please note, Radiesse is not suitable for those with severe allergies, a history of severe allergic reactions, or allergies to lidocaine or the microspheres in Radiesse.

Before & Afters

Following your Radiesse injections, the treatment area will immediately appear fuller and more youthful. The complete results will be visible after a few days once any minor swelling or redness has subsided. The treatment stimulates your own collagen production, resulting in a more natural and longer-lasting effect.

What to Expect from Your Radiesse Session

Your journey with Radiesse at Lockhart Matter Dermatology begins with an initial consultation, where one of our experienced, licensed providers will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and create a personalized treatment plan.

On the day of the treatment, the targeted areas will be cleaned and a topical anesthetic may be applied to ensure your comfort. The Radiesse injections, which contain a local anesthetic (lidocaine) themselves, are then administered carefully into the targeted areas of your face. This process typically takes about 30 minutes.

Recovery & aftercare

After the procedure, you may notice some mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites. However, these side effects are temporary and should subside within a few days. You can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment, although strenuous activities should be avoided for 24 hours.

A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to assess your results and determine if any touch-up treatments are needed. Over the following weeks, Radiesse will stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, enhancing your results over time and providing a refreshed and more youthful appearance. With proper care and occasional touch-ups, the results from Radiesse can last for a year or more.

FAQs

Does Radiesse have any side effects?

Like any cosmetic procedure, Radiesse filler injections can have side effects, although they are typically mild and temporary. Common side effects can include swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, which generally subside within a few days.

What’s the difference between Radiesse and other fillers?

Radiesse is unique among fillers for its calcium-based microspheres that stimulate your body’s own collagen production. This not only provides immediate volume and correction but also promotes long-term skin improvement, setting it apart from other filler treatments that merely fill in areas of sagging or wrinkly skin.

How long do results last?

The results from Radiesse treatments can last a year or more in many patients. However, the longevity of the results can vary based on the individual’s skin type, lifestyle, age, and the area treated.

Can Radiesse replace a facelift?

While Radiesse provides significant rejuvenation by restoring lost volume and stimulating collagen production, it cannot replicate the comprehensive results of a plastic surgery procedure such as a facelift. However, for individuals seeking a non-surgical, minimally invasive way to combat signs of aging, Radiesse can be an excellent option. Should you decide to pursue cosmetic surgery, we’re happy to refer you to a plastic surgeon.
