Many men and women wish they could turn back the hands of time. At Alta Vista Dermatology, we provide several dermal fillers at our Highlands Ranch, CO practice that can restore a youthful appearance and help reverse the signs of aging. One of the dermal fillers we provide is Radiesse, which is a synthetic injectable, composed of smooth CaHA (calcium hydroxyapatite) microspheres. This substance naturally occurs within the body, making it ideal for dermal filler treatment. Radiesse is a safe, next generation dermal filler that uniquely gives not only an instant volume correction but also induces collagen production.
Radiesse is best used to treat the lines from the nose to the mouth and from the mouth to the chin. It can be used to soften facial lines and wrinkles, treat scars, and restore volume and fullness to the skin. Results are immediate, bestowing a more invigorated and youthful appearance. Depending on several factors including age, lifestyle, and skin structure, results can last six months to a year and a half. A treatment session can last about 30 minutes depending on the needs of patients and number of areas they wish to have treated. There is no downtime, which means patients can return to work or other activities immediately.
The first step towards attaining a more youthful appearance is to schedule a consultation appointment. We will examine the areas you wish to have treated and review your medical history. We may not recommend Radiesse if you are pregnant, are breastfeeding, or have allergies. This dermal filler is not recommended for lip augmentation or for areas under the eyes. If you are a candidate for treatment, we will tailor a treatment plan to meet your needs.
For treatment, a numbing agent will be applied to the targeted area before injecting the substance into the skin. In addition, Radiesse is combined with lidocaine to provide extra comfort. Radiesse and other dermal fillers can help reverse the signs of aging, renew confidence, and boost self-esteem. Results from Radiesse include a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles and a rejuvenated appearance. To learn more about Radiesse, call our team at 303.888.6426 today.
