About Radiesse® Lidocaine
Radiesse® was first introduced as a dermal filler by Merz Aesthetics in the early 2000s. It quickly gained recognition for its unique calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) formula. It was first created for medicinal and reconstructive purposes, but its capacity to replenish lost volume and promote the synthesis of natural collagen made it a breakthrough in aesthetic medicine.
As Radiesse® developed over time, lidocaine was used to improve injection comfort for patients. Radiesse® lidocaine is still a reliable, FDA-approved filler frequently used for skin rejuvenation, volume restoration, and face contouring. It produces long-lasting and natural-looking results.
How It Works?
Getting a treatment with Radiesse® Lidocaine can bring about some fantastic benefits. It is great for reducing any irregularities on your skin and restoring volume to sunken cheeks. The cherry on top is that this treatment uses Radiesse® 1.5ml with lidocaine, which adds some extra comfort to the whole process.
The filler is made from hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres encapsulated in a gel carrier that contains a lot of water. Since it is completely biocompatible, allergy testing before the surgery is not required. Human tissues naturally contain calcium hydroxide (CaHA) and its constituents, phosphorus and calcium. The treatment is essentially painless because of the lidocaine component.
The filling result is instantaneous and noticeable immediately following the procedure because of a unique gel carrier. After roughly four months, macrophages absorb the gel and eventually vanish to be replaced by fresh collagen made by fibroblasts. The calcium hydroxyapatite microparticles create a “scaffold” in the tissues and promote the formation of new collagen fibres. The skin naturally gets thicker, more elastic, and rejuvenated as a result.
