Basic Information On Radiesse
Radiesse is a dermal filler that is in the form of an injection. It is a formulation that contains bovine collagen and medical grade PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) micro-spheres. The drug is made up of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres (CaHA) suspended in sodium carboxymethylcellulose gel which is synthetically produced. These get metabolized normally in the body. The drug is used for the correction of lines of the face such as naso-labial folds and wrinkles on the face. Brand or generic Radiesse acts by stimulating the growth of an individual’s own collagen which is a gradual process. The drug is gradually absorbed by the skin and then the fibroblasts begin to appear. Thus the neocollagenesis process begins. The collagen synthesized by the patient then helps in correcting the lines or wrinkles of the face.
Precautions / Side Effects For Radiesse
The most common side effect of Radiesse as a dermal filler is the allergic reactions. Other side effects of the procedure with dermal filler may include reddening or swelling of the areas or site where the injection is administered, which are short lived. There are risks of infections at the site of injection, which is the point of contact, after the treatment with Radiesse drug. This is more likely if you already have any kind of infection or inflammation on that particular area.
Other common side effects of brand or generic Radiesse are swelling and minor bruising at the site of injection (or area treated). Rare side effects may be tingling or numbness of the skin, mild headache, nausea, itching (especially around the area being treated) and pain. Medications such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, high doses of vitamin-E and St. John’s Wort must be avoided 1 week before the treatment with Radiesse, as these may increase the risk of bleeding or bruising.
Radiesse Dosage
The treatment with Radiesse is done in a doctor’s office as it is a small procedure. One injection of the drug is used in one area selected on the face. The treatment is a minimal invasive procedure and the drug is administered using a 27G or 28G needle. Before injecting the health care provider may apply an antiseptic and a local anesthesia. The drug is administered by injecting it under the dermis, in the subcutis layer. The doctor may choose one or more points/ areas depending upon the location of treatment and thus use the drug (injections) accordingly. Approximate time of the treatment is 15 minutes.
