What Are Radiesse Fillers?

Radiesse fillers are a type of dermal filler used for non-surgical facial rejuvenation to smooth out wrinkles and restore lost volume in the skin. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This unique composition helps stimulate the body's own collagen production, which is essential for maintaining youthful-looking skin. As the gel provides immediate volume and smooths out wrinkles, the calcium microspheres work beneath the surface to encourage collagen synthesis over time, leading to longer-lasting results. Radiesse is commonly used to address signs of aging, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and volume loss in the cheeks or hands.

One of the advantages of Radiesse over other dermal fillers is its ability to provide both immediate and long-term results. The immediate effects are noticeable right after the treatment, as the filler smooths the skin and restores volume to the treatment areas. Over time, as the collagen stimulation continues, the skin's texture and elasticity improve, enhancing the overall facial contours and providing natural, youthful-looking results. Radiesse is typically used for mid-to-deep dermal injections, making it especially effective for treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is also FDA-approved for use in both the face and hands, where volume loss is common with aging.

How Often Can I Do UltraSlim?

The number of treatments needed to achieve the desired results depends on the patient's weight loss goals, their total weight, lifestyle factors, and individual metabolism. The administering clinician will be able to determine how many treatments are needed after the first treatment. The clinician measures the patient's body at very precise areas before and after the treatment. Some clinics also offer a fat analysis with accurate BMI machines, which can help in the determination of weight loss results.

On average, patients require 6 to 10 sessions to lose 10-30 inches and approximately 10-40 pounds. Results can be maintained in the long run if the patient practices healthy lifestyle habits, such as a well-balanced diet and a regular exercise routine. For weight reduction, UltraSlim is not recommended more than twice a week.
