Radiesse® Hand Rejuvenation

Radiesse® is the only FDA-approved CaHA treatment that gives long-term improvement in the skin quality of ageing hands.

Radiesse® acts as a dermal filler, to restore volume to the hands, making them appear youthful and attractive. For people whose hands have become skinny in appearance with visibly apparent bones, tendons and veins, it can stimulate the production of collagen to plump and smoothen the skin on the hands in the long-term.

After treatment, your body will absorb the CaHa microspheres contained in the hand rejuvenation fillers and increase collagen production for months. You will continue to see more and more benefits over time.

How Does Radiesse® Work?

RADIESSE® is a semi-solid, cohesive injectable filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and is the primary mineral constituent of bone and teeth. The semi-solid nature of this filler is created by suspending calcium hydroxylapatite in a gel carrier. This gel gives Radiesse it’s initial volume replacement ability and plumping effect. 

Approximately two to three months after the treatment, the gel carrier begins to be absorbed by the body while the calcium beads of the filler remain to allow the body to build collagen to fill in the spaces. The calcium is also bio-degradable, and as it gradually breaks down, the newly produced collagen remains. As calcium hydroxylapatite occurs naturally in the body, there is minimal bad inflammation that arises from this treatment as it integrates well with our existing tissues.

What Are The Indications For Radiesse® Injections?

RADIESSE® is indicated for subdermal injection for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, and for restoration and/or correction of the signs of facial fat loss in the cheek area and lower face. This product can help those with facial lipoatrophy or for hand rejuvenation.

What Makes Radiesse Different From Other HA Fillers?

Unlike HA fillers which seek to plump up the skin and contour the face temporarily, Radiesse offers a longer-lasting treatment that has a triple-effect outcome with long-term collagen stimulation:

Versatile Filling

It has excellent rheological properties and has high elasticity and viscosity, making it one of the best fillers to manage as it tends to remain at the injection site and guarantees excellent modelling qualities.

Volume Lifting

Radiesse stimulates your body’s own collagen production through CaHA-induced biostimulation. After injection, the CaHA microspheres form a “scaffold” that provides mechanical stimuli triggering fibroblasts to produce collagen for volume that lasts longer.

Skin Rejuvenation

Because of its ability to induce collagen growth, Radiesse not only fills deficient areas to smoothen out the face and remove wrinkles and lines, it also improves the skin quality by encouraging your body to stimulate more collagen.

What Areas Can Be Injected With Radiesse® For Skin Rejuvenation?

RADIESSE® can be used to treat thin and ageing skin on a variety of areas including the following:

  • Neck and décolletage
  • Arms
  • Abdomen
  • Knees
  • Buttocks
  • Thighs
  • Chin wrinkles
  • Marionette lines
  • Pre-jowl folds
  • Smile lines

 

Excess skin will not disappear but will be less visible and tighter due to the stimulation of collagen and elastin. By treating these areas, the local aged appearance can be improved by volume replacement and CaHA-generated collagen stimulation.

Who Is Suitable For Radiessse®

Ideal candidates for RADIESSE® treatments are adults between the ages of 35 and 60 who have developed folds and wrinkles around their mouth and nose. Candidates who want the skin on their hands plumped are also ideal. It is sometimes indicated for people who have experienced fat loss in their facial area due to HIV infection.

You should not use RADIESSE® if you have an allergy to any component of the product, if you have a history of severe allergies, if you have a bleeding disorder, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
