WHAT IS RADIESSE®?
Radiesse® is an FDA approved injectable filler that restores fullness to your cheeks. It also helps to reduce deep smile lines, smoker’s lines, and small facial scars.

WHAT IS RADIESSE® MADE OF?
Radiesse® is made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a natural gel. It is unique in that it works with the body as a scaffold to support and stimulate the growth of the body’s own collagen. The creamy, soft texture of Radiesse® feels soft and natural just like your original, young skin.

HOW IS RADIESSE® DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PRODUCTS?
Radiesse® may last longer that other dermal fillers: 9-15 months. This means that in the long term you may be paying less, as you do not need as many treatments. Also, each syringe has 30% more product than some other fillers. Radiesse® is especially effective for correcting deeper nasolabial folds and marionette lines.

IS RADIESSE® SAFE?
Yes. Although the FDA recently approved Radiesse® for facial augmentation, it has been used extensively in Italy and other European countries for years. There are no allergic reactions.

DO THE INJECTIONS HURT?
The injections are slightly uncomfortable. We have medicines to help minimize this. Radiesse® is injected with a tiny needle in between the two layers of your skin, filling in furrows and lines. As the natural volume is restored between the skin’s layers, depression, wrinkles, and scars are lifted, resulting in smooth, even skin.

HOW LONG DO TREATMENTS TAKE?
Treatment takes less than one hour. You will see results instantly.

WHAT ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS AND RECOVERY?
You may have mild swelling and bruising at the injection site. You can expect this to disappear within a week.

WHERE SHOULD I GO FOR RADIESSE®?
Only a licensed professional with the knowledge and skill required to achieve optimum results should administer Radiesse®. At Med Cure Anti Aging all procedures and injections are performed by a medical doctor.

CAN RADIESSE® BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Absolutely! Many patients are very satisfied by combining Radiesse® with Botox®, which is a purified protein that reduces frown lines between the brows. Also, Radiesse® can be combined with other fillers like Juvederm™ to correct fine lines and enhance lips. A monthly HydraFacial MD™ treatment can also help your skin look healthy and radiant.
