Any healthy adult  21 yrs and older is eligible for Radiesse^®. For best results it is important to not be a smoker and drink minimal alcohol.

Radiesse^® treatment is done to enhance the areas on the face that have lost volume and elasticity. The microspheres work with the skin’s collagen to regain that fullness. It can cause swelling that will resolve in 24 hours. Bruising may take up to a week to resolve depending on the person. Some may notice little lumps where the filler has been placed and these too resolve as it is integrated with the skin’s dermal layers.

You can see results immediately after treatment and improvement continues over time. People may need touch ups in 8 months to a year depending on the person. With continued treatment you will experience a more youthful look overall.

Most patients feel ready to resume their normal daily schedules immediately after getting Radiesse^® injections in San Diego, including returning to work. However, Dr. Eros recommends you avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours after your treatment. That’s because working out can increase the blood flow to your face, which may cause any residual swelling to appear more pronounced. Light exercise, such as a gentle walk around your neighborhood, is OK, but please don’t overexert yourself. Resting for 24 hours should give you plenty of time to return to the gym after your treatment.

Radiesse^® injections are a brief, nearly painless appointment that takes place in the comfort of our San Diego office. We can have you in and out in less than an hour, which is ideal for fitting treatment into today’s busy lifestyles.

Compared to other dermal fillers whose results may be shorter-lived, the effects of Radiesse^® can last a year or more, depending on the extent of your aging in the areas you choose to have treated. This longevity, along with its ability to provide natural-looking results without surgery, has caused many patients to request Radiesse^® by name.

Your treatment’s total price tag will depend on how many units of Radiesse^® Dr. Eros will need to help you achieve your goals. She can give you a more accurate estimate of your Radiesse^® treatment cost after meeting you, evaluating your skin quality, and asking you questions about your expectations for treatment.
