Is Radiesse® Right for You?
Radiesse candidates are
typically between 35 and 60. Radiesse usually provides up to 80 percent
improvement immediately after treatment. Since Radiesse® is temporary,
treatments must be repeated over the years to maintain the benefit. Alternative
treatments or surgical procedures may be more appropriate in years to come, as
your condition changes.
Recovery after Radiesse® Treatment
There may be minimal
swelling, which usually subsides in 24 to 36 hours. There may also be some
discomfort and bruising. The discomfort can be managed with medications. Normal
activities can be resumed immediately; however, patients are advised to stay
out of the sun.
Complications and Risks of Radiesse®
A rare complication might be
the appearance of nodules which would require steroid treatment or surgical
intervention. Unmanageable pain or any symptoms that are progressive or
abnormal should be reported to the doctor immediately. Your doctor can tell you
more about possible complications and the remedies associated with each
complication. |
