Radiesse® Treatment in Charleston & Mount Pleasant, SC

RADIESSE® is injected into the skin through a simple, safe, convenient procedure. A topical anesthetic and ice may be used if needed to numb the skin. RADIESSE® is also mixed with an anesthetic prior to injection, making the treatment comfortable. RADIESSE® treatments have little to no downtime, with most patients returning to normal activities soon after treatment.

Many patients will achieve their desired result after just one visit. Because RADIESSE® is a long term cosmetic enhancement, and to ensure your satisfaction, our office schedules a follow-up visit two weeks after your initial treatment. At this follow-up visit, we will evaluate results. Touch-up treatments may be recommended.

Some results of your Radiesse treatment occur immediately as the calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres are positioned appropriately beneath your skin. For both hand rejuvenation and facial rejuvenation, Radiesse achieves satisfying results that can last from 12 to 18 months. You may find that you begin to notice the recurrence of the signs of aging we’ve treated about 15 months after your initial treatment. You can return for a touch-up before that even happens. By that time, the effects that remain are not from the microspheres but from the new collagen that has entered the treatment area.  Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with your doctor.

Aging hands tend to be an overlooked sign of aging. Luckily, with Radiesse®, you can improve the appearance of wrinkled hands. This dermal filler is proven to restore volume and youth to the back of the hands. Radiesse® is the first FDA-approved dermal filler for correcting lost volume in hands. If you are looking for natural and smooth results, consider Radiesse®!

Radiesse is an excellent dermal filler for hand rejuvenation because it builds a temporary scaffold of volume and also stimulates new collagen production to prolong the effects of your treatment. This dermal filler has been approved by the FDA for the correction of aging hands and certain signs of facial aging, such as nasolabial folds. When injected beneath the skin on the backs of the hands, the calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres camouflage visible veins and tendons, restoring a smoother, younger-looking appearance. Hand rejuvenation using Radiesse is performed using a very fine needle and gentle technique that minimizes post-treatment bruising and discomfort.

A few years ago, skilled practitioners began offering what was called the Sculptra Butt Lift. Sculptra is an injectable bio stimulator that reverses the signs of aging by promoting an increase in collagen production. Radiesse is in the same category but also has a dermal filler component to it. It makes sense, then, that doctors and nurse injectors would eventually see what Radiesse could do to create or restore better booty curves. We are pleased to offer the Radiesse non-surgical butt lift for people who are interested in a subtle increase in volume and shape. The treatment itself takes less than an hour and has little downtime. Your provider may advise you to refrain from strenuous exercise and excessive heat for a short time, but there is no formal recovery period after treatment. The results of this injectable buttocks augmentation treatment can last from two to five years.

Yes. Hundreds of thousands of patients have experienced RADIESSE® and more than 4,000 physicians and providers worldwide have been trained to administer RADIESSE® treatments. Through years of clinical studies and independent research, RADIESSE® has proven to be safe and effective. With RADIESSE®, you get FDA-approved, safe, clinically tested reliability.

Radiesse has been carefully studied over several years and has been found hypoallergenic and non-toxic. The risks associated with this treatment are similar to other injectables. They include temporary redness, bruising, swelling, and soreness or tenderness. Because the skin is punctured during injectable treatments, there is also a slight risk of infection. This is similar to the risk associated with having your blood drawn. Though Radiesse is considered extremely safe, it is important to have your injections performed by an experienced provider. Doing so diminishes the risk of complications.

Normal, injection-related reactions, such as mild irritation, swelling, itching, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site may occur. These conditions typically resolve on their own.

No. Treatment results are long-lasting, but not permanent. The calcium-based microspheres gradually break down and are safely and naturally absorbed by your body.

RADIESSE® treatments are customized for each patient so the price varies. In general, the cost of RADIESSE® is comparable to similar procedures. During your consultation, we will discuss your treatment plan and give you a price before beginning treatment.
