Radiesse at Slim Studio Face & Body

At Slim Studio Face & Body, our team of experts is dedicated to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals. We strive to deliver the best Radiesse Atlanta has to offer. Radiesse is one of our favorite treatments because it is versatile and practical, perfect for aging and injury-related volume loss in many areas of the body.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable treatment used to contour the body. It is also a collagen biostimulator, meaning that it facilitates the production of collagen and elastin in the body, providing long-lasting, natural results.

It's comprised of calcium-based microspheres (calcium hydroxylapatite) suspended in a water-based gel. The microspheres eventually break down and are absorbed by your body, but the gel helps to add volume to your skin immediately. It is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles in many areas of the body, as well as add volume to areas with sunken or sagging skin. The result is rejuvenated skin that looks firm and natural, without wrinkles and other blemishes.

In recent years, the use of Radiesse in a hyperdiluted form has increased. In this form, it is a biostimulatory agent, rather than a volumizing filler, and it improves skin quality, texture, tone and firmness. It can be used in the face, neck, décolletage and other areas of the body. This technique was first used in Europe, yet it’s now being used more and more in the U.S.

What is Hyperdiluted Radiesse?

Hyperdiluted Radiesse is simply Radiesse that has been diluted or thinned out with a mixture of sterile saline solution and lidocaine. This makes it an easily spreadable biostimulator capable of remodeling skin over a larger area.

When this diluted mixture is injected into areas of collagen loss, it triggers the body to produce new collagen and elastin. The result is a skin rejuvenating treatment with pronounced and visible smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.

The benefits of this treatment are skin tightening and thickening, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and crepiness. It can also reduce the pigment from sun damage. Overall, skin tone, texture and elasticity are markedly improved.

What can Radiesse do?

Calcium hydroxylapatite can improve the quality of life by restoring a natural, youthful look for people showing signs of aging or injury. Radiesse can help with a number of common body issues, including:

Cheeks, sculpting and augmenting the cheeks to a desirable volume.
Chin, smoothing out wrinkles and augmenting the chin’s natural projection.
Marionette lines, relaxing the fine lines that appear between the mouth and chin.
Nasolabial folds, addressing the “smile lines” that form between the nose and the mouth, helping to restore your natural smile.
Jowls, eliminating sagging skin and jowling.
Neck, filling creases such as “necklace lines.”
Temple, addressing a sunken look that can significantly impact the forehead.
Knees, reducing wrinkles and any sagging skin.
Arms, adding volume to loose or sagging skin and addressing wrinkles
Hands, addressing the effects of aging, including volume loss and veins on the backs of the hands.
Decolletage, improving texture and bringing more volume.
Butt, achieve a fuller, perkier butt with this non-surgical alternative to a butt lift.
Hips, can round out and contour the hips to the desired effect.

Am I a candidate for Radiesse?

Radiesse is safe and effective for most people. However, you may not be a candidate if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have an active infection or skin disease in the treatment area
Are allergic to lidocaine or any other ingredients in Radiesse

Radiesse can help you if you're looking to improve the appearance of:

Chin wrinkles
Marionette lines
Nasolabial folds
Corners of the mouth
Pre-jowl sulcus
Neck lines
Sunken temples
Lax skin of the arms
Lax skin on the knees
Aging Hands

If you have a history of keloids or other scarring, you may not be a good candidate for treatment. Calcium hydroxylapatite may not be recommended if you have a bleeding disorder or are taking blood thinners.

Consultation and Preparation

The consultation allows our staff to assess your individual needs and determine whether Radiesse is right for you. During the consultation, we will:

Review your medical history
Conduct a physical examination
Take photos for before-and-after comparisons

Be sure to disclose the use of any medications you're taking, allergies, or other medical conditions.

To prepare, take the following into consideration:

During consultation, advise us of any upcoming facial procedures you have scheduled, such as surgery, laser, facials, dental work, etc.
Do not schedule dental work or vaccination within two weeks of treatment.
One week prior to treatment, stop taking any painkiller medications prior to treatment, including aspirin, Advil, ibuprofen, Aleve, and naproxen. The only exception is Tylenol.
One week prior to treatment, do not take any fish oil, turmeric, or high doses of vitamin D.
Do not consume alcohol the day before treatment.
Do not exercise three hours before the treatment.

Radiesse Procedure

Radiesse is injected into the skin with a fine needle at a varying number of sites, depending on your desired results. The injection site may be numbed with a local anesthetic or ice packs before treatment. The entire procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes. After the injections, our Atlanta Radiesse patients can leave the office and resume their normal activities.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Radiesse provides immediate results that typically last for 12 to 18 months. Touch-up injections may be necessary to maintain results. Each person is different, and the timing of results will vary.

After treatment, you may experience:

Redness
Swelling
Bruising
Itching
Tenderness

Be sure to follow a healthy skincare routine following treatment, including a daily moisturizer and high-SPF sunscreen, and avoid excess sun exposure.
