Structure restored now, and built upon after.
Placed at depth where the face has lost support, Radiesse lifts and fills immediately through the volume of its gel. That is the part you see at once.
Over the following months the gel is gradually absorbed and the calcium particles act as a scaffold, prompting the body to lay down new collagen along it. As the filler recedes, your own tissue has taken up some of the work, which is why the result outlasts the material itself.
The consultation
Before anything is decided, your provider studies where the face has lost structure, along the jaw, the cheeks, the back of the hands, and whether Radiesse is the right tool rather than a softer, reversible filler. Because it cannot be dissolved as easily as hyaluronic acid, we plan its placement especially deliberately.
The visit
The area is numbed for comfort, then Radiesse is placed by hand at depth where support has been lost. The volume is visible at once. Your provider works conservatively, since the material is firmer and not readily reversible, placing only what the face truly needs.
The months that follow
Expect some swelling and perhaps a little bruising where the gel was placed, settling over several days. Stay upright through the evening and set aside hard exercise and heat the first day. The volume shows at once; the collagen benefit builds quietly over the months that follow.
