Radiesse

FAQ

• How many areas will I need?

  It depends on what you want to treat. Your provider looks at each area at your visit and tells you how many it needs, and the free consultation is a good place to start.

• How soon will I see results?

  Results build gradually over the following months as your skin makes new collagen. Your provider will recommend how many sessions suit you.

• What is the downtime?

  You can go back to your normal activities after treatment, but some swelling, bruising and tenderness are expected for a few days. Your provider gives you aftercare instructions before you leave.

• What is the difference between Radiesse and Sculptra?

  Both help your skin build its own collagen. Radiesse is a smooth gel that also adds some structure where it is placed. Sculptra works gradually over a few months. Your provider can tell you which suits your areas.

• Who will do my treatment?

  Our nurse practitioners and physician assistants, who are trained in injection safety and placement, under the oversight of our medical director, a board-certified dermatologist.
