Radiesse in Bend, OR

Radiesse is a filler and a biostimulator treatment.

It adds volume the moment it's placed, then encourages your skin to make new collagen and elastin over the following months.

• Smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines

• Loss of jawline definition and early jowling

• Volume loss in the lower face, including after significant weight loss

Radiesse is made of tiny calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a soft gel. CaHA is made of minerals also found naturally in the body. The gel gives instant lift, and as it's absorbed, the microspheres act as a scaffold that signals your skin to build its own collagen.

Over time your body absorbs the microspheres too, leaving your new collagen in place.

Radiesse suits adults who want visible lift and definition with a natural finish, especially if you'd like to see a difference right away. It isn't recommended if you have severe allergies (including a history of anaphylaxis), a bleeding disorder, or a known allergy to any of its ingredients or to lidocaine.

Your will map your plan during your consultation, depending on where you need support.

The treatment itself will take approximately 2 hours. Swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness and small bumps at the injection site are common and usually settle within a few days. Jawline treatment can briefly make chewing feel different.

Don't massage the area unless your injector tells you to. For the first 24 hours, skip strenuous workouts, saunas and hot yoga, and keep out of direct sun until any redness and swelling settle.

You'll see volume immediately. Collagen will continue building over the next few months, and results typically last a year or longer depending on the area.
