Using Radiesse to Prep for Summer:
Cellulite is extremely common and it has been a complaint for many patients of all ages. Fibrous bands are layered underneath your skin all over your body. The bands will thicken as we age and this causes pressure on the skin surrounding the bands. This tension is the main cause of cellulite, that dimpled appearance on the skin.
Collagen plays a major role not only in the appearance of your skin, but the overall well-being of your heart, muscles, and even bones. The bands that cause cellulite are partially made of collagen! Helping your body produce collagen naturally can significantly improve the appearance of cellulite!
WHAT CAN HELP WITH CELLULITE?
Radiesse is used to boost the production of collagen and elastin and helps the skin regain lost firmness. Radiesse is injected in areas with cellulite to help fill-in the tiny dimples while actually helping to relieve tension from those fibrous bands.
At Beauty Abound Aesthetics, we meet with you to consult about your specific needs and wants when it comes to reducing the appearance of cellulite. We use Radiesse in a natural grid pattern under the skin to follow the natural bands.
FAQ’s
How Does Radiesse Work?
The main ingredient of Radiesse is a biodegradable, synthetic substance CaHA which is metabolized by the body and aids in restructuring collagen production. Optimal results are achieved through multiple treatments from an aesthetic injector. The provider injects into the skin at a precise depth. This action prompts the collagen formation in the skin. As the substance is absorbed in the body, collagen production is also stimulated, allowing the tissues to gain their original volume.
Procedure for Radiesse:
- Ice pack the treated site intermittently after the procedure.
- Avoid direct sunlight until the swelling is gone.
- Do not perform any excessive physical activity for 24 hours.
How Long Does Radiesse Last and How Many Radiesse Treatments Are Needed?
Radiesse, results can be seen as early as two months after the initial treatment and can last up to 18 months. Yearly treatments are optimal to continue in production of collagen. Patients will see a gradual improvement. The number of treatments required varies per individual. The number of treatments is dependent on the amount of collagen or volume-loss in the body before treatment. Consultations before treatment will determine how much Radiesse is needed for each patient.
Who is a Good Candidate for Treatment?
Individuals suffering from volume-loss on the skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin due to weight loss, aging, or other factors are perfect candidates for this treatment. Radiesse must be avoided by individuals who show any allergic reactions to any of the main ingredients.
How Much Downtime Is There After a Treatment?
A patient can go back to his or her routine right after the procedure. The majority of patients are advised a day of calmer activities to give a soothing relief for the redness or swelling in the treated area. Reactions such as swelling subside within a few days, but patients are advised to limit strenuous physical activity. Tenderness, itching, swelling, or slight bruising are common side effects in all types of fillers.
