Dermal fillers can add volume under the skin to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. One of the most popular options in facial and dermal fillers is Radiesse® injections. This dermal filler not only adds immediate volume under the skin with its microspheres, but it can also increase the production of collagen for lasting results. At LL Aesthetics, we provide Radiesse injections for wrinkle reduction at our facility in Miami Beach, FL.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHa) Filler Injections
Radiesse is different than many other dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid to plump under the skin. Radiesse’s main active ingredient is calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa), which contains calcium and phosphate ions that can plump and volumize the skin. The big difference with Radiesse CaHa injections is that this formula can increase the production of collagen in the skin, the most influential element for firmer, youthful skin.
Radiesse injections of CaHa microspheres add immediate volume under the skin where it is injected. Radiesse is formulated to be used to improve smile lines along the nasolabial fold as well as add volume to the cheeks to combat a gaunt or sunken facial appearance. Radiesse injections can also be used on the backs of the hands to add volume for a more youthful appearance.
Increased Collagen Production
The CaHa in Radiesse adds volume under the skin, but it begins to break down and it is absorbed by the body. The good news is that the injections trigger collagen production in the skin – as the calcium and phosphate is absorbed, it is replaced by natural collagen. This creates firmer, smoother skin that looks more like your younger skin – it also extends how long the results last.
Radiesse injections can be performed in a short office visit. The most common side effects from the wrinkle treatment are bruising or swelling from the injections. You will notice improved skin smoothness that improves over the week following the injections, and your results can last for a year or longer.
At LL Aesthetics, we utilize Radiesse injections for a variety of cosmetic treatments. To learn more about CaHa dermal filler injections, contact our office in Miami Beach, FL, to schedule your appointment.
