Radiesse injections are performed in one of the treatment rooms at Tamburrino Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in about 30 – 60 minutes after your one-on-one consultation. First, you will sit comfortably while the areas of injection will be cleaned and marked. Most patients feel tolerable discomfort throughout their procedure at the initial prick, but if requested, a numbing agent will be applied to the injection sites. The Radiesse dose, determined at your personalized treatment planning session, will be placed in a fine syringe. The pre-marked injection sites will help the injector to carefully administer Radiesse into the needed areas. As soon as the procedure is complete, a compress can be applied to alleviate bruising and swelling.

After your Radiesse injection, you may have mild swelling, bruising, and redness. This is common and should only last for about 5 – 10 days. These side effects may typically be covered with cosmetics. If the bruising, swelling, or redness lasts longer or seems excessive, please contact Tamburrino Plastic Surgery & Med Spa. Most patients have some results minutes after the treatment with better results developing in a month or so. Your face will appear younger, softer, and have a natural glow. Radiesse typically lasts longer than some of the other fillers — up to 1 – 2 years. You can ask Dr. Tamburrino during your appointment about the best time to attend a follow-up session to touch up your results.

Fillers all have unique formulas and properties to help with a wide range of issues. Common ingredients in fillers include HA (hyaluronic acid), calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa), poly-L-lactic acid, and PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate). Radiesse is composed of calcium-based microspheres, which are comparable to hyaluronic acid dermal fillers the way it helps to stimulate collagen production in your body. During your consultation, we will discuss the various brands and evaluate your facial laxity, tone, and volume to determine which filler will address your concerns.

Are Radiesse injections painful?
Generally, patients don't need any form of numbing prior to their treatments. However, a local anesthetic is available to make you feel more comfortable. Many patients experience minor and short-lived discomfort when the needle pierces the skin.
