Radiesse Benefits

24-7PressRelease/ – NEWPORT BEACH, CA – While gravity might be only a theory, what it does to our bodies shows its reality. Sagging cheeks and eyelids are just part of what is on display for the whole world to see. And there are more and more people who are putting this theory to the test and finding ways to show, on their faces at least, that they will not age quietly.

Radiesse, a popular injectable dermal filler, primarily used for wrinkles and lines now has a further use. As the popularity of people seeking to reverse the effects of sagging faces increases, so does the popularity of using Radiesse to augment their cheeks.

What is Radiesse?

Radiesse, an FDA-approved injectable filler, uses calcium hydroxylapatite, a calcium-based microsphere, in a water-based gel. As the gel and the microspheres are naturally absorbed into your body, a matrix is created in the dermis in which new collagen grows giving a more youthful appearance. While past procedures included painful implants and extensive surgery, Radiesse is injected in layers into the area of the cheek and below the eye. Results are immediate and last one to two years.

Some of the reasons Radiesse injections is gaining in popularity as an injectable to increase volume in the cheeks can certainly be tied to the fact that people want to look younger. As we age, we tend to lose volume in our faces, and our cheeks sag. However, a more recent phenomenon has to do with how celebrities are viewed by the general public. Due to the 24/7 media cycle and the ubiquitous paparazzi, actresses like Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Keira Knightley, are seen not only in movies, magazines, television, but the internet. Here, you can Google their names and see that they generate literally millions of hits – as well as see thousands of pictures. And it’s here that the public can judge (subjectively) how these stars appear. People wonder if they’ve had Botox, breast augmentation, or other procedures done.

These actresses have the type of cheekbones that many people want to emulate. As a result, it isn’t just older people looking for a younger face but a younger crowd lining up to get Hollywood cheekbones. However, Radiesse filler is not used only by female customers, but by men as well. Actors like Johnny Depp might be seen as the male equivalent of cheekbone envy.

Whoever the movie star or rock star might be, people are curious about how they look so good for so long and want the same thing. Radiesse is just one of the answers to the question of how to avoid sagging cheeks.

Benefits of Radiesse

Again, using Radiesse avoids the pain and long recovery of implants. In an outpatient setting, a small amount of Radiesse is injected into the cheeks in as little as fifteen minutes. You will have a minimum of discomfort. While side effects might include swelling or redness, these pass quickly. There is also the attraction of the low cost of Radiesse. You can discuss this with your cosmetic surgeon.

It is for these reasons that many cosmetic surgeons have used Radiesse dermal filler for more than just wrinkles or laugh lines.
