Discover the benefits of Radiesse, a cosmetic dermal filler utilized in Portland

When you look in the mirror or at photos, have you suddenly noticed the lines or wrinkles on your face? With today’s use of photographs and selfies, we notice our faces and profiles more. Those unwanted wrinkles stand out aging us. In Portland, Dr. Adam Maddox and the team at Thrive utilize cosmetic dermal fillers to treat lines and wrinkles. Radiesse is one option for facial rejuvenation.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that have been suspended in an injectable gel. This gives the product a firmer consistency and is often used in areas where the skin is thicker to provide long lasting results. Calcium is found naturally in the body so there is little chance of an allergic reaction.
As an FDA-approved dermal filler that is utilized to correct moderate to severe lines and wrinkles, benefits of Radiesse include the following:
- Non-surgical, minimally invasive
- Versatile
- Immediate, long lasting results
- Safe
- Effective
Surgery is not required for facial rejuvenation. With cosmetic fillers, there is no need for scalpels, general anesthesia, and a lengthy recovery period. Radiesse restores facial volume and smoothes lines and wrinkles without the risks of surgery. It is injected just under the skin in the targeted areas using a very fine needle. Treatment areas may include the smile lines, marionette lines, corners of the mouth, chin, cheeks, and jowls.
Once injected, patients see results instantly as the product fills lines and adds volume for a smoother face. Over time, the calcium microspheres dissolve but first they stimulate natural collagen production. Results typically last 12-18 months.
At Thrive, we will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan to keep you looking your best. In our experienced hands, you can achieve the natural, youthful look you desire with long lasting results. Radiesse can be combined with other cosmetic injections and facial treatments for more complete rejuvenation.
