How Long Does It Take for Radiesse to Work?

If you want a budget-friendly, easy way to reduce wrinkles & look younger, Radiesse filler injections are worth considering! At Slimming Solutions Spa & Aesthetics in Lee’s Summit, MO, OR, we can help smooth out those pesky expression lines, nasolabial folds, and other facial wrinkles with this long-lasting solution.

How Fast Does Radiesse Filler Begin to Work?

Radiesse is a type of dermal filler that helps rejuvenate your skin. It reduces the look of wrinkles, and guess what? It starts working quickly! You may notice more volume in your skin within just one to three days. After about seven to ten days, you’ll likely see even bigger improvements. But wait! There might be even more changes over the next two to four weeks.

What Kind of Skin Problems Can This Filler Help?

This filler is made to boost your appearance by making wrinkles and signs of aging much less visible. For instance, we can use it to soften those expression lines on your face and the creases around your nose & mouth. Plus, it’s great for treating severe wrinkles that might not respond well to other treatments.

It also helps with sagging skin on your face. Want fuller cheeks? This dermal filler has got you covered there too!

How Does This Filler Change My Skin?

Radiesse contains special calcium hydroxylapatite spheres in a gel formula. These little spheres work in an innovative way to enhance your skin’s look.

Why is Calcium Important?

Calcium is a mineral found in some foods. Eating calcium-rich foods helps keep your bones & skin healthy. When we inject Radiesse into your body, those spheres turn into phosphate ions and calcium. Your metabolism then works on these materials over time.

Boosting Your Collagen Levels

As your body metabolizes this filler, it starts creating more collagen fibers. Collagen is super important because it keeps your skin looking plump and stretchy. When we get older, our collagen production slows down. That can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin. Boosting collagen levels can help make your skin look younger again!

What Should I Do Before My Treatment?

Since this anti-aging treatment isn’t very invasive, you won’t need general anesthesia for it! So no big changes are required for your routine before getting your filler—a few small tweaks might be necessary though.

For example, if you’re on blood-thinning meds, they could affect how your body responds to the filler. Therefore, we might ask you to pause these for a few days ahead of time. Also, if you’ve had treatments like chemical peels recently, that may make your skin more sensitive too.

Will Getting Injections Take Much Time?

No worries if you’re short on time! Usually, the injections take about 15 minutes at our office in Lee’s Summit, MO, Oregon. Your comfort is important—we use a numbing agent called lidocaine in the filler so you should feel relaxed during the process. And if you’re still nervous? We can apply a numbing cream beforehand!

Can I Sunbathe After My Injections?

While there’s no need to take time off work or from chores after getting injected, you should avoid strong heat or direct sunlight for 24 hours afterward. Also, we advise against massaging the area or wearing makeup right away.

Once 24 hours have gone by, feel free to put on makeup again! If you’re heading out on a sunny day—don’t forget sunscreen! It helps protect your skin from harmful rays & keeps it looking young!

Will the Effects of This Filler Wear Off Quickly?

Some fillers don’t last long; after they’ve faded away, you’ll have to spend time & money for follow-up treatments frequently—that’s just not fun!

But Radiesse is different. Because it stimulates collagen production in your body, its effects can last up to one year or even 18 months!

Keeping Up Your Results

As time passes and your body processes the calcium from Radiesse, wrinkle visibility will start returning gradually. Want to keep that fresh look? You can schedule touch-up appointments at our office in Lee’s Summit, MO since everyone’s metabolism differs.

Most people return annually for another session!

What Makes Radiesse Good for Deep Wrinkles?

Many fillers are light & flexible—good for subtle enhancements but not as effective for deep wrinkles. Unlike those products, this one is thick & firm! It’s perfect for filling the deep smile lines around your mouth and chin.

Will It Move Around My Face?

Rest easy! This filler is designed specifically to stay right where you want it without shifting elsewhere on your face. The calcium spheres remain right where they’re injected—no unexpected migrations here!

What About Allergies or Health Issues? Can I Use This Product?

When we meet for the first time, do tell us about any allergies or health problems you may have! Knowing this helps us figure out if Radiesse is safe for you.

If you’ve had severe allergies or anaphylactic reactions before though—Radiesse isn’t suitable for you either. Those with hypersensitivity to any ingredient in this product also shouldn’t use it; plus pregnant women and people with bleeding disorders are advised against this treatment too.

Do I Need To Inform My Healthcare Providers About My Treatment?

Generally speaking, using Radiesse doesn’t interfere with medications or test results from blood work. So most likely, no need to mention it when discussing other health matters!

However—this injectable could affect how certain imaging tests look due to those calcium spheres showing up during X-rays or CT scans until they’re fully processed by your body. So definitely mention it if you’re scheduled for these kinds of tests!

Can I Combine This Treatment with Others for Better Results?

While Radiesse does wonders—it can’t solve every issue all by itself! If you’ve got multiple concerns you’d like addressed—consider combining treatments! During our chat at Slimming Solutions Spa during the consultation—we can work out an anti-aging plan that’s just right for You!

Botox: A Great Combo!

Botox ranks as one of the top anti-aging solutions worldwide! Combining Botox with Radiesse can really help with both visible lines & folds on different parts of your face—a smart combo that gives you noticeable results!

Instead of using calcium microspheres like Radiesse does—the Botox formula uses something called botulinum toxin that relaxes facial muscles temporarily – making those crow’s feet & forehead lines fade away too!

Other Dermal Fillers Available

We provide various fillers that focus on hyaluronic acid—this sugar enhances lips & facial features naturally—it works wonderfully when paired with things like Restylane or Juvederm—which also provide helpful volume where needed!

Filling up fine lines around mouths/cheeks—or just giving yourself fuller lips—it’s all totally possible with what we offer!
