    Radiesse in Boston, MA

    Elevate and Illuminate

    Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler that stands out in the world of aesthetic enhancements. It is composed of calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres, a substance naturally found in the body. What sets Radiesse apart is its unique ability to fill and contour the face and stimulate collagen production, the essential protein responsible for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.

    What is Radiesse?

    Radiesse is a minimally invasive dermal filler designed to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin by addressing volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles. It is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This unique formula provides immediate volume upon injection and stimulates the body's natural collagen production, offering long-lasting results.

    Key Features of Radiesse

    Immediate Volume Restoration

    Radiesse is renowned for its ability to instantly restore lost volume in the face. Whether it's sagging cheeks, deep lines, or jowls, Radiesse can deliver a more youthful and lifted appearance.

    Stimulates Collagen Production

    Beyond the immediate results, Radiesse works beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production, a key protein that maintains skin elasticity and suppleness. This collagen boost contributes to prolonged improvements in skin texture and firmness.

    Long-Lasting Results

    Patients appreciate Radiesse for its longevity. While individual results may vary, many individuals experience the benefits of Radiesse for a year or more before considering a touch-up treatment.

    Versatile Applications

    Radiesse isn't limited to facial applications. It can also rejuvenate hands, addressing signs of aging such as wrinkles and volume loss, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.

    Am I a Good Candidate for Radiesse?

    Volume Loss Concerns

    For our patients in Boston Radiese can be the solution you're looking for if you've noticed a loss of volume, resulting in asymmetry or sagging in your facial features. Individuals experiencing sunken cheeks or temples due to aging or weight loss can achieve a more youthful appearance with Radiesse.

    Fine Lines and Wrinkles

    Radiesse is particularly effective in treating smile lines (nasolabial folds) and “marionette lines”, giving you a smoother and more rejuvenated look. Candidates seeking to address the visible signs of aging on their hands, such as wrinkles and volume loss, can benefit from Radiesse injections.

    Collagen Stimulation

    Radiesse not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates natural collagen production. This makes it an excellent choice for long-lasting results and improved skin elasticity.

    Minimizing Scars

    Radiesse can be used to minimize the appearance of certain types of scars, including acne scars or depressions on the face.

    General Considerations

    Candidates for Radiesse should be in good overall health, free from any serious medical conditions that may interfere with the treatment process. Candidates need to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. If you'd like to learn more about Radiesse Boston medical aesthetics experts at BMA can answer any questions you have during an initial consultation and help set appropriate expectations as well.

    Not Suitable for

    Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are advised to wait until they are no longer breastfeeding or pregnant before considering Radiesse treatments.

    Introducing Hyperdilute Radiesse

    What is Hyperdilute Radiesse?

    Hyperdilute Radiesse is an advanced and refined application of the traditional Radiesse dermal filler treatment. This technique involves diluting Radiesse with a solution, creating a hyperdilute, or less concentrated, mixture. The result is a more spreadable and versatile product that can be used to address a range of aesthetic concerns.

    Hyperdilute Radiesse is incredibly versatile, making it suitable for various aesthetic enhancements, including rejuvenating the neck. This technique offers a customized approach to meet your unique goals, from addressing fine lines and wrinkles to providing a subtle lift and improving overall skin texture.

    Achieve natural-looking results with Hyperdilute Radiesse. The refined mixture allows for precise application, ensuring the filler integrates seamlessly with your facial contours. This results in a subtle yet effective enhancement that enhances your natural beauty.

    Just like traditional Radiesse, Hyperdilute Radiesse stimulates collagen production. This means that you can enjoy ongoing benefits beyond the immediate improvements as your skin rejuvenates, promoting elasticity and firmness.

    Radiesse Pre & Post Care Instructions

    RADIESSE PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    The following are important treatment instructions for you to understand to help avoid unsatisfactory results and complications.

    • Injectable fillers cannot be done if you have had any dental procedures, including routine cleanings two weeks before or after your filler appointment.
    • If you are taking medications that may prolong bleeding, you may experience increased bruising at the injection site. You must avoid aspirin, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, etc.), vitamin E, fish oil, ginger, ginkgo, green tea, garlic, ginseng, or St. John’s Wort for 10 days prior to your treatment. PLEASE INFORM US IF YOU ARE TAKING ONE OF THESE BEFORE YOU ARE INJECTED. If you are prescribed any of these medications by a different physician, you must consult with them prior to stopping any medication.
    • Arnica Forte tablets contain the herb Arnica and the pineapple-derived enzyme Bromelain, which help to minimize bruising and swelling. They can be taken one day before and up to seven days after your procedure.
    • If a laser treatment, chemical peel, or any other procedure based on active dermal response is considered three to seven days before or after an injectable filler treatment, there is a possible risk of an inflammatory reaction at the treatment site.
    • Injectable fillers should be used with caution in patients on immunosuppressive therapy, or therapy used to decrease the body’s immune response, as there may be an increased risk of infection.
    • The safety of injectable fillers for use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or in patients under 18 years has not been established.
    • The safety of injectable fillers in patients with a history of excessive scarring (e.g., hypertrophic scarring and keloid formations) and pigmentation disorders has not been studied.
    • If you are prone to cold sores, please inform your provider. Antiviral medication may be recommended prior to your procedure.

    RADIESSE POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

    • It is normal to be somewhat red, tender, and swollen for several hours to days after filler injection, and bruising is always possible. It is advised that you continue to ice the area for one to three hours at 15-minute intervals, or as directed by the providers at Boston Medical Aesthetics. The lips may be tender and swollen for several days, if injected.
    • Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, vitamin E, and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (like Celebrex) for 24 hours to minimize bruising.
    • No alcohol, no smoking, no nicotine, for 24 hours.
    • No vigorous exercise for 24 hours.
    • Keep the skin clean and makeup-free for 24 hours. Do not use any skincare products for 24 hours.
    • No dental procedures, including routine cleanings, for two weeks after filler.
    • Avoid touching the treated area and keep hair and cell phone away from your skin.
    • Do not massage Radiesse unless specifically advised by your medical provider. Massaging can unintentionally displace the filler and cause more bruising and swelling.
    • We encourage you to call the office with any concerns.

    Please call the office immediately at (617) 973-9700 for any of the following:

    • Immediate or disproportionate pain
    • Blanching: white appearance of tissue
    • Purple lace appearance to the tissue also known as reticularis
    • Decreased skin temperature: cooler than unaffected tissue
    • If you are experiencing any of the above during non-business hours, please call our after-hours line at 617-203-7075.
