Injectable Filler - Radiesse
RESTORE A YOUTHFUL LOOK
A young face has a 'V' shape – The younger the face, the firmer the skin and the more defined the contours. The face is symmetrical and 'V' shaped.
The V Effect volume formation can be achieved with the dermal filler Radiesse. When Radiesse is injected into the skin the gel-matrix of calcium microspheres pushes up the contour deficits, providing a lifting effect and giving instant volume. And for even greater benefit, the calcium micro-spheres stimulate the production of your own natural collagen, which will further build the volume to achieve the V Effect. The results can be seen for 12 months or longer in many people.
With ageing the 'V' turns upside down
Regardless of how good our genes are, all types of skin eventually lose their tone. Proportions shift and volume reduces. Cheeks sink downwards, the chin goes limp and the face becomes broader towards the bottom. The result: the youthful 'V' slowly turns upside down and our age becomes increasingly visible – regardless of how young we feel.
Which areas are most affected?
The age-induced lack of moisture and the slowing of cell renewal lead to a clear loss of elasticity, tone and suppleness. The result is deeper wrinkles, particularly around nose and mouth, and sometimes also on the chin. Cheekbones and cheeks are the areas most affected by the loss of volume. Also as our skin becomes less taut, the jaw line begins to sag. Our hands can also give away our age as our veins and bones become increasingly visible on the back of
the hand.
What is the secret of turning the 'V' back?
The V Effect is the key to restoring a youthful look. Instead of treating the individual wrinkles, the face needs real re-volumizing. With the right volume and the right proportion, the face will regain the optimum 'V' shape, and the wrinkles and sagging will naturally reduce.

What is the treatment procedure
Your practitioner will explain the treatment options available and discuss with you the best one for you. Typically one treatment session takes approximately 30 minutes. The effect will be visible immediately after injection.
What if I am taking medication?
Please inform your practitioner before treatment if you are taking medication, even if it is not a prescription medicine. Taking anticoagulants and painkillers including aspirin and some vitamin supplements can lead to unwanted bruising. Your practitioner will advise accordingly.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience some reaction to the injection. There may be mild swelling, pain, itching, bruising or discolouration, and sensitivity to pain. However this usually disappears after a few days. Please discuss this with
your practitioner.
How long does the effect of Radiesse last?
Individual results are dependent on age, skin type, lifestyle and metabolism and, of course, the area treated. Generally the effect of the treatment lasts over a year for most patients.
Can Radiesse be combined with other products?
If a permanent filler has been injected beforehand, treatment with Radiesse is not recommended. Please inform your practitioner about any previous treatments you have had.
Can Radiesse be felt under the skin?
You will probably feel the material for a short time after treatment. Over time, the material is completely integrated and cannot be felt anymore.
