Injectable Wrinkle Filler in Costa Mesa
Radiesse is an injectable filler that can be used to diminish the appearance of depressions on the face that add to your apparent age.
Reasons to Choose Radiesse
Radiesse is a dermal filler comprised of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a water gel. It is FDA approved to treat any kind of wrinkle and plastic surgeons feel it has many benefits. Plastic surgeons recognize Radiesse for its ease of use, as well as for the fact that it is bio-compatible.
In addition to treating many types of facial wrinkles and lines, patients may also undergo a Radiesse treatment for:
- nasolabial folds
- facial contouring
- marionette lines
- depressed scars
The effects of Radiesse can be long-lasting. In your consultation with your plastic surgeon, he will discuss your treatment options with you and craft a treatment plan based on the condition of your skin and your aesthetic goals.
FAQ About Radiesse in Orange County
Since Radiesse is such a popular non-surgical treatment, the plastic surgery team at Costa Mesa’s Pacific Coast Plastic Surgery often fields questions about its benefits. They have provided answers to some of the most common questions.
How does it work?
First, your skin will be cleansed in preparation for the injection. Then, a topical anesthetic may be applied to increase your comfort. Using an advanced technique that may include fanning or crosshatching, your plastic surgeon will inject Radiesse beneath the surface of your skin at the treatment site. An immediate correction will be visible. Your plastic surgeon may then gently massage the area with his hand—this will help evenly place the product.
What happens after treatment?
When you leave Pacific Coast Plastic Surgery after your treatment of Radiesse, the skin at the treatment site may feel taut, but this feeling will soon dissipate. On average, the skin-smoothing results of your treatment of Radiesse in Costa Mesa can last up to a year. As the effects begin to wear off naturally over time, we encourage you to complete follow-up treatments to maintain the beautiful look.
