Radiesse Injections in Houston, TX

Before your Radiesse injectable treatment, you may need to stop taking certain medications, such as anti-inflammatory drugs (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Motrin, etc.) and supplements (fish oil) to reduce the risk of excess bleeding after your injections. You should arrive to your appointment with a bare face u2013 no makeup or skincare products u2013 so that we can take before photos prior to your treatment. If you develop a skin infection or have actively inflamed skin, reach out to your provider since treatment may have to be delayed.

After your treatment, your face will be slightly swollen and/or bruised. It usually takes 1-2 weeks for this swelling to subside, during which time the Radiesse injectable will settle into the wrinkles or folds of the treated area. Radiesse also stimulates collagen production which takes some time but after 2-3 weeks, the injectable should have settled.

Some immediate changes can be noticed, but your actual results will take at least a week to see. Since Radiesse works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, results gradually develop during the few months that follow your treatment. However, the wait is worth it since these results can last over 18 months.

As your skin continues to build collagen post-injection, you may continue to see improvements several months after your treatment. You will notice lifted, plumper skin with more volume in the treated areas. After a few months post-treatment, the improvements will stop but you can still enjoy the final results for more than a year.

Radiesse restores volume to hollowed cheeks and folds or wrinkles around the mouth and nose, such as smile lines and marionette lines. By restoring volume to the cheeks and/or injecting Radiesse along the jawline, you can treat sagging skin and improve the contour of your jawline. Radiesse is not just for the face, there are some off-label uses such as volume loss in the hands to reduce the appearance of veins and tendons that may give them an older appearance. It can also be injected in the du00e9colletu00e9 and neck, knees, cellulite dimples, and buttocks for volume.
