Questions about radise. Injectable preparation for contouring Radiesse (Radiesse)

It is no secret that the condition of the skin is largely determined by the presence of elastin and collagen in it, which are responsible for the elasticity and firmness of the skin. But over time, the synthesis of these substances is noticeably reduced, which leads to dry skin, the formation of wrinkles, and sagging of the face.

Modern cosmetology allows you to restore youthful skin and restore facial contours through non-surgical rejuvenation -. In the previous review, the types of subcutaneous injection implants, their characteristics and the consequences of their introduction were already provided.

Today we will focus on one of these drugs - Radiesse filler, produced by the American pharmaceutical corporation Merz GmbH&Co (Merz), which has not been used for long, but has already gained popularity and many positive reviews.

Distinctive characteristics of Radiesse

Radiesse filler is developed on the basis of the crystalline mineral calcium hydroxyapatite - a natural component of our body, which is part of the dental and bone tissue. To produce fillers, calcium hydroxyapatite is synthesized from sea corals, then suspended into a gel-like filler ready for use.

Due to their natural origin, Radiesse fillers, like hyaluronic acid fillers, are biocompatible and biodegradable, but with a longer lasting effect.

Application of Radiesse fillers

It should be noted that initially the use of Radiesse gel was intended to be purely medical purposes- for the restoration of human facial tissue. After numerous positive results, Radiesse found wide application in surgery, dentistry and urology.

And then, as often happens with this kind of preparation, it began to be used more and more often in cosmetology. Rave customer reviews are evidence of its high efficiency.

Today, Radiesse fillers are successfully used at the first signs of skin aging, that is, after 35-40 years, and the need to restore the volume of certain areas of the face. And more precisely, for:

  • facial oval correction
  • improving the shape of the cheeks, cheekbones and chin
  • smoothing nasolabial folds
  • eyebrow raising
  • nose shape correction
  • elimination of medium and deep wrinkles, folds
  • eliminating scars and scars
  • restoration of soft tissues various parts body: smooth out neck wrinkles or increase tissue on the back of the hands
  • eliminating others cosmetic defects bodies.

Radiesse filler can also be used for, but, judging by the reviews of experienced cosmetologists, hyaluronic fillers cope with this problem much better.

If we talk about restoring large volumes of missing soft tissue, such as areas of sunken cheeks and cheekbones, then Radiesse filler is injected directly onto the bone tissue.

It is much more difficult to eliminate wrinkles on the neck, since after the injection of the drug a barely noticeable whitish edging may appear, so it can only be used if the skin is quite dense.

The same applies to the back of the hands, where a small amount of Radiesse filler can be injected, otherwise the whitish spots of the gel will show through the thin skin. The peculiarities of the drug make it possible to slow down the aging process and somewhat thicken the surface of the skin of the hands, but it is impossible to hide protruding veins.

Features of Radiesse fillers

The properties of fillers are largely determined by their composition. Thus, Radiesse filler, in addition to the above-mentioned calcium hydroxyapatite, contains a special migrating gel, which immediately after injection forms a filler depot under the wrinkles, and, increasing to 80% in volume, seems to push the tissue out.

Unlike products with hyaluronic acid, which attract moisture, Radiesse stimulates the growth of new collagen fibers, and provides the missing 20 percent of tissue restoration, thus guaranteeing a long-lasting rejuvenation effect.

Moreover, after the expiration of the prescribed period, that is, after complete decomposition of the filler components, the increased volume of soft tissues remains up to 30%!

This is also explained by the components of Radiesse filler, which consists of 70% carrier gel and 30% calcium hydroxyapatite. After its introduction, the gel is absorbed into the cells by microphages, after which fibroblasts form new collagen tissue, which by the second month forms a stable structure of new natural tissue around the microspheres.

Benefits of Radiesse filler

The filler is a completely biodegradable product with the maximum (for natural fillers) duration of the visual effect. Compared to hyaluronic acid, it is not a hydrophilic gel that retains moisture, but rather forms new collagen fibers that remain after its expiration date. Given this fact, the use of Radiesse is mainly recommended for people whose skin is prone to swelling.

Therefore, the main advantage of the drug is its duration of action - from 18 months to 2.5 - 3 years. While the duration of the effect of hyaluronic fillers is up to 9 months.

The advantages of Radiesse filler include the absence of such negative consequences, How inflammatory processes, mutagenic abnormalities in DNA sequence and gel migration. The phenomenon that lymphatic system is explained by the significant particle sizes - up to 25-45 microns, while for migration, their size should be about 10 microns.

Radiesse Filler production technology is registered and approved by the Food and Drug Administration of the US Department of Health. And not only. The product is certified as an injectable implant in plastic surgery and cosmetology in the USA, Europe and Russia.

Carrying out the procedure and rules for skin care after injections

The session of administering Radiesse is in many ways similar to the use of other fillers: consultation, exclusion of contraindications, dosage prescription and determination of injection points.

Immediately before the injection, an anesthetic cream is applied to the skin, which will significantly reduce skin sensitivity. Then the drug itself is administered.

The duration of the session is determined by the number of areas being treated, and can last from 15 to 50 minutes.

Immediately after the injection of the filler, swelling is observed, which will subside in a couple of days. For quick fix swelling, it is necessary to periodically apply ice packs to the injection sites for no more than 3-4 minutes.

Minimize the consumption of food that requires intensive chewing, especially in cases where the drug is injected into the nasolabial folds.

Try to inject Radiesse filler at least 6-7 hours before bedtime. You need to sleep on your back using a soft pillow.

Try to stay in the sun less. When going outside, use sunscreen.

The visual effect of the injection is noticeable as soon as the swelling goes down. However, after three to four weeks it will be less pronounced, since the process of decomposition of calcium hydroxypatite has begun, and the formation of collagen fibers is somewhat delayed (this was mentioned above).

However, a few weeks later, the formation of new collagen fibers will begin, which will naturally fill the designated areas soft tissues. Without waiting for this process, many patients insist on reintroducing the implant, risking a significant increase in the treated area.

Repeated injection of Radiesse filler is possible no earlier than two months after the procedure.

Contraindications and consequences

Contraindications for the introduction of Radiesse fillers are quite typical for all injectable implants:

  • various skin diseases, both chronic and exacerbating
  • oncological formations
  • infectious and immune diseases
  • diabetes
  • poor blood clotting
  • taking coagulants shortly before the session
  • pregnancy and lactation
  • availability of previously used similar drugs, - you should definitely warn your doctor.

Although Radiesse is a biocompatible drug, this does not guarantee the absence of complications and side effects.

Immediately after the injection of the filler, complete numbness, thickening and itching of the treated areas may be felt, as well as their redness or discoloration, which is a normal reaction to foreign body. A few days later this by-effect will pass.

In patients with sensitive skin An allergic reaction of the treated skin and a whitish edging may be observed.

Radiesse injection implants are best used two to three months before a significant event, when all complications have passed and the facial skin will look quite natural.

For which areas of the face is it better not to use Radiesse filler?

Under the eyes. The skin under the eyes is different hypersensitivity, so Radiesse filler is too dense for her. In this case, cosmetologists recommend the use of hyaluronic fillers from the Restylane line. The use of similar preparations with hyaluronic acid, such as Perlane or Juvederm, especially Radiesse, is fraught with the appearance of compactions, swelling, and bruises.

For lips. Due to the dense structure of the gel, its use for increasing lip volume is not recommended. Uneven distribution of the drug can lead to the formation of whitish stripes, granulomas, bumps, and tubercles.

Expression wrinkles. For minor eyebrow wrinkles and “joy” wrinkles, it is effective to use or, which completely immobilizes the muscles and smoothes them out. The use of Radiesse fillers is fraught with the above formations, therefore, they are ineffective.

Nose correction. The limitation is quite conditional, since Radiesse can be used for non-surgical rhinoplasty, provided it is performed by an experienced specialist, but in the case of overcorrection, it is almost impossible to eliminate the defect. Therefore, it is more effective to use dense hyaluronic filler.

Pros and cons of Radiesse filler

One of the big advantages of Radiess filler is the ability to prolong the effect of the procedure, however, even here everything is not so simple.

Firstly, its use is aimed at the growth of collagen fibers, and helps to avoid the effect of a swollen face, since, unlike preparations with hyaluronic acid, Radiesse injections do not retain water, but naturally fill the voids of wrinkles.

Secondly, the introduction of Radiesse injections allows you to prolong the result as much as possible if you simultaneously use hardware rejuvenation technologies, for example, RF lifting, which can be used after two weeks. And vacuum massage or microcurrents. When introducing other fillers, hardware rejuvenation technologies are not used, which is also an undeniable advantage.

The downside is possible complications, this mainly concerns delicate, thin skin, which may develop a noticeable whitish outline after insertion of the implant. And if the defect after the introduction of a hyaluronic filler can be corrected, that is, decomposed and removed from the body using the drug Longidaza, then it is almost impossible to eliminate the hypercorrection after the Radiesse filler, even despite the manufacturer’s recommendations - to inject a saline solution into the previously introduced Radiesse. And since the drug remains in use for up to six months subcutaneous tissue, then throughout this period you will have to put up with visual defects.

Another disadvantage is the impossibility of administering the drug into deeper tissues, since in this case, according to cosmetologists, there is no rejuvenation effect. However, here it would be possible to use proven drugs based on hyaluronic acid, if there were no problem: after using Radiesse, you can inject hyaluronic acid only after one year.

And the biggest disadvantage of using Radiesse filler is the impossibility of correction, so even experienced cosmetologists inject with utmost caution this drug, and only to those with thick, thick skin.

Radiesse is a modern cosmetic product that serves to rejuvenate the skin and stimulate the production of its own collagen. It is based on calcium hydroxyapatite, unique composition which allows you to maintain the resulting effect longer than when using fillers based on hyaluronic acid (more than 12-15 months). The drug has been well studied by specialists and there is no doubt about its safety: it does not cause inflammatory reactions, does not migrate and is completely eliminated from the human body. Another advantage of using radise is its hydrophobicity: unlike hyaluronic acid, this drug does not attract water, which means it can be used in patients prone to swelling.

Radiesse consists of an aqueous gel carrier and microparticles of synthetic calcium hydroxyapatite suspended in it, in the form of so-called microspheres. Immediately after the procedure we see the filling effect. Once in the human body, the gel is gradually absorbed by macrophages and excreted from the body, and the microspheres are enveloped in collagen and connective tissue, thanks to active work fibroblasts. 2-3 months after administration of the drug, the carrier gel is finally removed from the body and the filling effect goes away. But being inside active substance The drug stimulated the skin's production of its own collagen. Thus, we achieve the effect of not simply filling the necessary areas with gel, but the appearance of a dense frame consisting of our own tissues, which determines a longer duration of the result obtained. Therefore, Radiesse fillers are used to bioreinforce the skin, creating a framework that prevents the action of gravitational ptosis.

Indications for use of Radiesse:

  • correction of nasolabial and labiomental folds
  • correction of facial asymmetry
  • changing the shape of the face oval
  • replenishment of soft tissue volume
  • vector lifting
  • elimination of hypotrophic scars and scars
  • thickening of the skin of the neck, hands, body

Contraindications to the use of Radiesse

  • period of pregnancy and lactation
  • inflammatory diseases in the acute phase
  • oncology
  • epilepsy
  • diabetes
  • bleeding disorder
  • individual intolerance to the drug
  • combination with other fillers
  • introduction to facially active zones
  • scleroderma and other connective tissue diseases

Drug administration techniques

There are three main techniques for administering the drug. Depending on the indications, the doctor selects necessary equipment or a combination of techniques.

Filler

It consists of filling certain areas, replenishing the lack of tissue. In this way, the filler is injected deep into the hypodermis, into in some cases may reach the periosteum. When administering the drug, the doctor lightly massages nearby areas to avoid contouring of the drug. This technique is used to fill nasolabial, labiomental folds, medium and deep wrinkles, cheekbones, chin, etc. The result from the injection of filler is noticeable immediately, but the maximum effect reaches 1-2 months after the procedure. At this time, if necessary, the drug can be adjusted/adjusted. The final effect can last from 12 to 24 months, depending on individual characteristics body, after which repeated filler injections can be performed. In addition to injection into the face and neck, Radiesse is used in body correction. Filling tissue deficiencies caused by atrophic scars, scars or other reasons can be perfectly eliminated with the help of this filler.

Vector lifting

Otherwise, this technique is called bioreinforcement. Another method of non-surgical skin rejuvenation, in which the drug is injected into the middle layers of the skin in a certain direction. The lines of drug administration are vectors opposite to the action of gravitational ptosis. With this administration of the drug, microwounds are created through which the gel is injected. It, in turn, does not allow the created channels to close and the process of microfibrosis begins. Overgrown with connective tissue, a natural framework network is created in the skin, which has pronounced mechanical support and lifting effects. This technique is used for facial skin rejuvenation, lifting, and correction of the contours of the face, neck, and décolleté. The effect after the procedure is noticeable immediately, but has a cumulative effect. It is recommended to carry out a course of 2-3 procedures at intervals of 1.5-3 months to achieve the most pronounced effect.

Mesoradis

The newest method of administering the drug, also aimed at counteracting gravitational ptosis and obtaining a lifting effect by creating a frame from one’s own collagen. What is the difference from the previous administration method? Mesoradies is aimed at working with thin skin, this determines the subtleties of its administration: a cannula is used, and the drug itself is diluted with a 0.9% NaCl solution (saline solution). With the help of such an injection, we will not see contouring of the drug on thin skin and, in addition to lifting and creating a frame, we will achieve its compaction. This technique is indicated for administering Radiesse to patients with thin skin or to areas where the skin is less dense (such as the neck, hands) or flabby, atonic. At the same time, a lasting rejuvenating effect is maintained due to the production of its own collagen and elastin. Multiplicity and quantity necessary procedures discussed with a doctor after a face-to-face consultation, the duration of the effect obtained reaches more than 12 months.

Combination with hardware procedures

Unlike most fillers, Radiesse goes well with hardware cosmetology techniques. 3-4 weeks after administration, procedures such as microcurrent therapy, radiofrequency lifting and even hardware massage. However, in most cases, hardware techniques are recommended to be used before injection procedures.

It is not recommended to administer this drug in combination with thread lifting or any type of filler, be it hyaluronic acid filler or a history of non-absorbable filler. With a long-term multi-component rejuvenating program, it is better to leave the introduction of Radiesse for The final stage, 2 weeks after active cosmetic interventions.

Complications

Any procedure performed by an inexperienced specialist or on a patient who conceals medical history can lead to complications.

One of the most common complications after Radiesse injection is contouring of the drug. A large volume of the drug or insufficient depth of injection, or an incorrectly selected injection technique can lead to its noticeable occurrence in the correction zone. Instead of skin rejuvenation, the effect will be lumpy and excess. A similar complication can be encountered when injecting any filler, however, in the case of calcium hydroxyapatite, it is not so easy to correct. There is no enzyme or “antidote” to remove excess drug. The manufacturer recommends similar cases administration of saline solution and active kneading of the desired area, however, in most cases this method does not achieve the desired result and you have to wait about 6 months until the drug is independently eliminated from the body.

Another common complication is the occurrence of an allergic reaction. Its occurrence is possible with the introduction of any fillers. If there is a burden allergy history administration of the drug should be started with small doses. If an allergic reaction occurs, you should immediately consult your doctor.

Due to the unpredictable reaction of interaction with other substances, the use of radice is possible in the absence of other injected fillers. Their combined action can lead to an inflammatory reaction, fibrosis and other complications, the cosmetic correction of which will be, at a minimum, difficult and may require surgical intervention.

Improper administration of the drug can contribute to the occurrence of such a serious complication as necrosis. Treatment of such a complication is only possible surgically, which is why it is extremely important to prevent the likelihood of its occurrence.

Violation of the injection technique also leads to neurological complications: compression of tissue in the area where the nerve branches pass can cause various types of parasthesia (numbness, sensation of “pins and needles”, etc.), which go away on their own within a few days.

Conclusion

As you can see, Radiesse has many indications for use and has a number of advantages compared to other fillers. However, the nuances of working with this filler require highly qualified specialist to avoid a number of complications. Make an appointment with a doctor to discuss the intricacies of the procedure, your indications, contraindications, and enjoy the results!

Women experience certain changes as they age. The OB clinic offers to remove wrinkles and folds that have appeared. Contour plastic surgery should be performed by experienced specialists. In this case, radise or another filler is used. It all depends on what the patient wants and what contraindications he has.

Radiesse is a new generation drug. With its help, signs of aging are eliminated and wrinkles are corrected. Many clients wonder when the effect of radise begins. The result is immediately visible after injections are made in certain areas. But the effect will not be very bright, since after the procedure the patient will still have bruises and swelling. They will work, but within 2 days. Having ice packs on hand can reduce this time to several hours.

When are results from Radiesse fillers visible?

The effect of the plastic surgery can be seen as soon as the swelling goes away. And it will last up to a year. In some situations, the results obtained last longer, but this is subject to the recommendations of a specialist. After some time, the radiesse dissolves and the areas are filled with collagen fibers.

Radiesse filler is capable of:

  • Eliminate signs that indicate skin aging;
  • Give instant stunning results;

The main advantage of Radiesse is its duration of action. The effect of the procedure can last up to 2-3 years. It is very important to properly care for your skin. When using this drug there is no side effects and there is no need for inpatient treatment. During contour plastic surgery injections are made into the lower layers of the skin. And this guarantees the client that the vessels will not be affected. If filler is injected into the nasolabial folds, then you need to know one rule. After the procedure, you should not eat food that needs to be chewed vigorously. This applies not only to the nasolabial folds, but also to other areas.

Radiesse has many advantages, but it is also worth knowing about its contraindications.

Youth, health and beautiful view skin depends on the content of collagen and elastin, which give the skin elasticity, volume and a healthy appearance. Over time, our body ages, the amount of collagen in the skin progressively decreases, which is why the face loses its former volume, wrinkles, folds, and sagging appear.

It is impossible to stop this physiological process, but it is possible to pause and slow it down. Cosmetologists from all countries are actively working on this issue, as evidenced by the invention of facial contouring procedures using fillers and volumizers. One of the actively used drugs in this area is Radiesse.

What is contour plastic surgery?

Contour plastic surgery is one of the methods of non-surgical rejuvenation. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and involves the introduction (injections) deep into the skin of pharmaceutical preparations based on hyaluronic acid, collagen, calcium hydroxyapatite (fillers).

The procedure is very simple, but at the same time effective and fast-acting. Changes can be noticed almost immediately after injections. The effect lasts from 12 to 15 months (depending on the type and dose of filler).

The effectiveness of the technique is based on the introduction of substances into the skin that begin to actively stimulate the synthesis of its own collagen at the injection site, due to which the skin regains its former elasticity and youth.

How does Radiesse volumizer work?

Filler Radiesse is unique substance for contour plastic surgery. In some cases, it is not enough just to remove wrinkles to make the face look youthful, but it is necessary to fill in the volumes lost during the aging process.

Previously, this was only possible by implanting various implants under the skin, but now this can only be done using Radiesse injections.

The formula was developed by scientists from the American company BioFormMedical. As it turned out, the composition of the medicine is very simple, but as we have seen more than once, everything ingenious is simple.

The drug has 2 components:

  • microcrystals of calcium hydroxyapatite;
  • special gel.

Thanks to this composition, the filler has a double effect. Immediately after injection, the gel creates a filling effect (performs the function of a volumizer). Deep folds and wrinkles are filled with gel, sunken areas or sagging cheekbones disappear, and the natural contours of the face immediately return.


This gel completely dissolves within 4-5 months, but the effect does not disappear. Why? Yes, because the second part of the unique formula comes into play - microcrystals of calcium hydroxyapatite. They are similar in structure to the same substance of our bone tissue. Therefore, the drug has ideal biocompatibility ( allergic reactions are observed extremely rarely).

From the first day, these crystals activate the processes of synthesis of your own collagen fibers. And by the time the gel dissolves, its own new tissue already exists in its place, which retains the effect of the procedure for up to 15 months.

Possibilities of the drug Radiesse

Volumizer Radiesse is indicated for working with skin that has begun to age. It is recommended to use the drug after 35 years. Reviews about Radiesse speak for themselves. Almost all patients are satisfied with the results, side effects develop only in isolated cases. For injections this tool not only women, but also men resort to creating a more masculine oval face.

The filler's capabilities are as follows:

  • correction of facial oval;
  • getting rid of folds and wrinkles, even deep ones;
  • elimination of scars;
  • the ability to raise eyebrows and open eyes;
  • shaping the cheekbones, cheeks, chin, tip of the nose;
  • correction of the shape of the earlobes;
  • smoothing nasolabial folds;
  • creating a clear contour of the lower jaw;
  • replenishment of soft tissue volume on the hands.


Principle of the procedure

If you decide to undergo contouring with the help of Radiesse, then first ask if the doctor is certified to work with this volumizer. Because if the cosmetologist makes some mistake, it will haunt you throughout the entire duration of the drug, which is almost a year and a half.

The filler is injected using a special syringe with a thin needle. At the patient's request, the injection site can be numbed. The duration of the procedure directly depends on the area of ​​the area that needs to be treated. Typically this takes from 10 to 50 minutes. Immediately after the injections you can notice the result.


The full effect of the volumizer develops in about a month. Because repeated procedures during this time are inappropriate. If additional injections are needed, the doctor will inform you about this himself.

The price of Radiesse depends on the amount of the drug spent. It is produced in syringes of 0.3, or 0.8, or 1.5 ml. Approximate prices, respectively, are 2500, 3500, 4500 rubles. On average, 1.5-3 ml of the drug is used in one session.

What are the possible complications?

Contraindications and complications after Radiesse are few, but they exist.

In addition, it is worth reducing physical activity.

Procedures of this type should be carried out once a year. There are situations when a second injection is required, but only under the guidance of a specialist and no less than 2 months after the previous injection.

Action of Radiesse

The procedure for introducing Radiesse into the cheekbones can be divided into three periods. Perhaps, such periods are very similar to other manipulations in the field of contouring. But, despite this, the procedure has a significant number of features that should be familiarized with at the time of planning. The procedure for administering Radiesse includes:
  1. Initially, a local anesthetic is administered (most often preference is given to icecaine, since it is characterized by rapid and good effect, as well as a long period of action).
  2. The process of administering the drug Radiesse (often the amount of drug that needs to be administered is chosen by the doctor during the initial examination).
  3. Rehabilitation period– does not need to comply with certain measures, it will be enough to adhere to general restrictions, which will allow you to consolidate the result).

On the Internet you can find significant amount negative reviews that report a short-term effect of the drug, as well as uneven distribution under the skin. If you carefully study the instructions, such questions will disappear instantly. This is due to the fact that Radiesse in cosmetology is not an ordinary filler, since its action has several stages. The first stage is based on filling wrinkles and voids with a synthetic gel, which functions in a classical way, only the duration of action is relatively short, since the drug disintegrates after a couple of weeks. It is during such a period that voids appear, as well as a short-term deterioration in the desired result.

A month after the injection, a long-term and permanent result is formed. This happens thanks to calcium hydroxyapatite, which promotes the independent production of collagen, which has the necessary effect.

Contraindications
