At EWAH By Dr. Lorena Pinzón, we specialize in advanced aesthetic treatments that allow our patients to look and feel rejuvenated. One of our most effective and sought-after treatments is Radiesse, an innovative dermal filler that not only restores skin volume but also stimulates collagen production, providing long-lasting and natural-looking results. In this article, we will explore in detail what Radiesse is, its benefits, areas of application, and the importance of undergoing treatment with a qualified physician.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is a dermal filler composed primarily of calcium hydroxyapatite in a gel base. This substance, similar to the calcium found naturally in bones, is biocompatible and safe for the body. When injected into the skin, it not only fills and smooths wrinkles immediately but also stimulates collagen production, providing results that continue to improve over time.

​

What is Radiesse used for?

Radiesse is ideal for enhancing the volume of specific areas of the face and body, restoring firmness and a youthful appearance to the skin. In addition to acting as a filler that offers immediate results, its collagen-stimulating effect is a key differentiator. Below are the areas where Radiesse is frequently applied and the benefits for each:

• Cheeks and cheekbones: Adds volume and enhances the natural contours of the face.

• Nasolabial folds: Softens the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.

• Jawline and chin: Defines the facial contours, providing a rejuvenated appearance.

• Neck and hands: Revitalizes these areas that often show signs of aging, giving them a firmer and smoother look.

What type of patients should consider Radiesse treatment?

Radiesse is an excellent option for patients seeking to rejuvenate their skin naturally. This treatment is ideal for people who want to improve skin firmness and volume, reduce deep lines, or improve the texture of areas such as the neck and hands. Middle-aged or older patients who have experienced facial volume loss or sagging can also benefit from Radiesse. However, it is always essential to consult with a specialist physician, who will determine the suitability of the treatment based on each patient's specific needs and characteristics.

​

How long does the Radiesse effect last?

One of the aspects that makes Radiesse stand out is its durability. Unlike other dermal fillers, the effects of Radiesse can last between 12 and 18 months, depending on factors such as the patient's metabolism, the treated area, and post-treatment care. Furthermore, thanks to its ability to stimulate collagen, some patients report improvements that remain even after the product has been reabsorbed.

What can the patient expect after Radiesse treatment?

Radiesse is a minimally invasive procedure that, when applied by a trained professional, has a minimal recovery time. After treatment, the patient may experience slight redness or swelling in the treated area, effects that usually disappear within a few hours. The results are visible immediately and improve in the following weeks due to the collagen production induced by the treatment.

2. Improved skin texture and firmness: It is ideal for restoring volume and improving elasticity.

3. Versatility: It is suitable for treating various areas, including the face, neck, and hands.

4. Quick and safe procedure: Performed in less than an hour, the patient can resume their activities the same day.
