Radiesse is a popular filler made with calcium hydroxyapatite crystals. These crystals are recognized by the body as natural, allowing the filler to integrate seamlessly with the skin tissue. When injected, Radiesse provides instant wrinkle correction and increased volume through collagen stimulation. It is often included as part of a non-surgical facelift, rhinoplasty, or chin augmentation.
Patients in and beyond Chicago who are concerned about volume loss, hollow-looking facial areas, and ongoing signs of aging, such as wrinkles, creases, and nasolabial folds, may be excellent candidates for Radiesse, provided they are healthy and have realistic expectations. The best way to determine if you qualify for treatment is to schedule an introductory consultation with Dr. Casas and her team in Illinois today.
Radiesse injections in Chicago come with the following key benefits:
To get started with Radiesse injections, you will first attend a private consultation with Dr. Casas in Chicago. This initial visit includes a thorough medical assessment and skin analysis to make sure that the product is the best option for safely and effectively achieving your goals. Dr. Casas will answer all your questions with care and accuracy and ensure you have a clear understanding of the risks and downtime associated with Radiesse. Once you feel comfortable moving forward, we can book your session right away and provide customized preparation instructions. Before your appointment, avoid aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications for at least one week. During the 24 hours before your session, steer clear of alcohol, as this can increase your swelling and bruising risks.
On the day of your session, we will help you settle into one of our state-of-the-art treatment rooms, briefly go over any remaining questions, and make sure you still feel confident moving forward. Next, we will numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience. Appointments are short and can be completed during your lunch break, allowing you to return to your normal schedule quickly. Once you are ready and relaxed, we will inject Radiesse strategically with a fine-gauge needle to reverse age-related volume loss and leave you looking more refreshed, rejuvenated, and energized.
Your Guide to Post-Radiesse Care
After Radiesse injections, you can return to normal activities immediately; there is no downtime. In terms of side effects, you may see some minor swelling, redness, itchiness, and tenderness at the injection points. These symptoms resolve quickly, within a few hours or by the next day. You have the option to take Tylenol or use an ice pack to alleviate any lingering soreness.
For the first 24 to 48 hours after Radiesse, you should avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, sunbathing, hot tubs, waxing, swimming, and taking hot showers or baths. You’ll be able to apply makeup right after your session to help conceal any lingering redness on your complexion. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team at Casas Aesthetic Plastic Surgery in Chicago.
