Revitalize with Radiesse
When it comes to achieving a youthful appearance, options abound—from creams and serums to more drastic measures like surgical facelifts. But there's an innovative treatment that offers a unique balance of immediate results and long-term benefits, without requiring a surgical procedure. At Kagan Institute, Dr. Kagan is proud to offer Radiesse as part of our comprehensive suite of aesthetic treatments. But what exactly is Radiesse, and how does it work? Let's delve into the science, benefits, and patient experience behind this groundbreaking dermal filler.
The Science Behind Radiesse
Radiesse is a dermal filler that's fundamentally different from hyaluronic acid-based fillers. It's primarily composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. CaHA is a substance similar to minerals found naturally in human bones and teeth, making it biocompatible and highly effective
How It Works
Upon injection, Radiesse immediately provides volume and lift to diminish the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and skin folds. But the true magic lies in its long-term effects. The CaHA microspheres stimulate your skin to produce its collagen, the protein responsible for youthful skin elasticity. Over time, your body metabolizes the CaHA particles, leaving behind your natural collagen to sustain the improved skin quality.
The Benefits
Immediate and Long-Lasting Effects: The dual-action of Radiesse gives you immediate improvements that also last in the long run, often up to a year or more.
Biocompatibility: Because the primary ingredient is similar to minerals already present in your body, allergic reactions are extremely rare.
Versatility: Radiesse can address a range of cosmetic issues, including facial wrinkles, sagging skin, and even hand rejuvenation.
Non-Surgical: With Radiesse, you're looking at minimal downtime and quick treatment sessions, typically taking just 15-30 minutes.
