Radiesse Treatments NYC

The overall process of Radiesse face filler treatment takes a short time and is relatively painless. Prior to your treatment you will have a scheduled one on one consultation with Dr. Schwarzburg with a chance to raise your questions and concerns, discuss the problem areas and treatment options. During the personalized consultation Dr. Schwarzburg will get introduced to your medical history and other decisive factors, like your physical anatomy and current skincare regimen. This information will help him determine the best treatment plan for you. The details discussed during the consultation are of high importance, serving as the basis for Dr. Schwarzburg to establish which filler and injection technique will be the most optimal to achieve your desired results.

In order to reduce the risk of bruising, it is highly recommended to stop using blood thinners, e.g. aspirin, before the treatment. As a rule, the treatment area is cleaned and properly sanitized before administering the injections, to avoid any possible risk of infection. Afterwards, Dr. Schwarzburg injects the Radiesse underneath the surface of your skin. To lessen any discomfort or pain, topical numbing cream containing lidocaine may be applied on the treatment area 15 minutes prior to the treatment. However, this mainly depends on the treatment area. Radiesse itself contains a small amount of lidocaine which makes the overall experience more tolerable compared to that of other dermal fillers not containing lidocaine. After the procedure you will be given an ice pack that helps with swelling, allowing you to resume your regular activities if necessary. If there are any bruises observed the following day of the treatment, it is advised to apply a warm compress on the area of treatment to reduce the bruising and quicken the healing process. And lastly, make sure to avoid vigorous workout and too much exposure to sun during the first two days after the treatment.

Once your Radiesse treatment is completed, you should be able to notice the increase in volume right away. However, several weeks will be needed for the full and final result to take shape and form as the volume continues to grow after the treatment. The final effect lasts for about 9-12 months. The results achieved by Hyperdilute Radiesse are soft and very natural-looking, giving you a more rejuvenated and refreshed appearance. All dermal fillers, including Radiesse, pose the possible risk of swelling and bruising after the treatment, which however subside in a matter of 3 – 7 days. On the first day after the procedure it is advised to continue applying an ice pack, followed by hot compress the next day to reduce swelling and any signs of bruising.

The results of Radiesse treatment are temporary and last anywhere from 9 months to a year. For maintenance purposes, Dr. Schwarzburg recommends continuing with annual follow up sessions to touch up the filler already metabolized by the body. The results will remain until the filler is naturally metabolized by the body as Radiesse is not a hyaluronic acid based filler.

If you are interested in the longevity of Radiesse filler, how long it lasts, please be aware that the results typically last from 9 months up to a year and sometimes even more than a year. Dr. Schwarzburg’s general recommendation is keeping the consistency of annual follow up appointments every 9 – 12 months for touch up sessions. This will allow you to maintain your results, not letting them fully fade.

After administering the injections, Dr. Schwarzburg massages the treatment area to mold the filler and to prevent uneven accumulation of the filler causing bumps and lumps in the area of treatment. As a result of swelling the treatment area may feel hard. This is not a reason to worry as the hardness will go away in a matter of a couple of days after the treatment. Experience has proven that Radiesse softens during the first few weeks after the initial treatment.

Most dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid and can be dissolved by hyaluronidase injections. However, Radiesse is not hyaluronic acid based filler; it is made of calcium hydroxyapatite, the latter not being dissolvable. Radiesse does not only result in a filler based volume, it also boosts collagen production, hence it cannot be dissolved. With hyaluronic acid fillers filler removal is not uncommon, which is not the case with Radiesse as it is not based on hyaluronic acid. This is why it is so important to get your treatment from a highly qualified doctor. Make sure to have your Radiesse injections administered by a well-experienced and board certified medical professional, like Dr. Schwarzburg. Along with his years of experience in the field of cosmetic medicine, injectables, and lasers, Dr. Schwarzburg highly prioritizes the individual needs and comfort of his patients. He is for revealing and emphasizing the natural beauty of his patients by reducing and eliminating the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, folds and rejuvenating the overall look on the skin. In case you have any Radiesse problems, Dr. Schwarzburg will surely identify the issue and treat you accordingly.

It won’t be correct to call one of the fillers better than the other. Both of the fillers wonderfully serve their mission, which is rejuvenating and refreshing the face, reducing and eliminating fine lines, wrinkles, and folds, as well as replacing fat and tissue volume loss. However, Radiesse and Juvederm are totally different and are used for different purposes. Juvederm is based on hyaluronic acid and comes in different types. It basically addresses fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss mostly in the face. It is a great tool to add volume under the eyes and cheeks, to give a touch of youthfulness and refreshment to one’s appearance. It can also be used in such areas as the forehead, temples, nasolabial folds, lips, jawline, and chin. There are cases when Juvederm is used in the area of the neck for rejuvenation purposes. It can also treat deep scars.

When it comes to Radiesse, patients usually see noticeable improvement with Radiesse acne scars before and after the treatment. The acne scars are commonly inverted which makes them easier to fill in.  Radiesse for scars can be a success if carried out by a well-trained medical professional with a lot of experience. Radiesse tear trough fillers are typically not advisable, unless Dr. Schwarzburg is absolutely sure that it would be beneficial for his patient. Dr. Schwarzburg determines which one to use: Juvederm or Radiesse, mainly based on the area of treatment. Radiesse is more commonly used in such areas as the hands, as it has got a specific FDA approval for hand rejuvenation.

Radiesse may have some mild side effects typical to any other dermal filler, e.g. swelling, redness, and bruising around the overall area of treatment and injection sites. The mentioned side effects usually subside in a matter of a week after the treatment. The patients of Dr. Schwarzburg are provided with an ice pack to be applied to the treatment area right after the procedure. On the following day of the initial procedure you could apply a warm compress to the treatment regions that are bruised because of injections; this will help reduce the bruising and will facilitate the healing process.

If you are interested to know if “Radiesse is safe”, then you can be assured the answer is “yes”. Radiesse has the approval of FDA to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and folds in the face, as well as rejuvenate the hands. Provided your Radiesse treatment is performed by a board certified and experienced medical professional, you can avoid or reduce the possibility of those side effects that are associated with all dermal filler injections, in general.

When the filler is injected by an inexperienced practitioner into a blood vessel, the side effects can be severe, like an increased risk for cellulitis, submucosal nodules, or necrosis, that is death of tissue. To have a clearer notion on what some of the side effects can look like you can look up radiesse complications photos.

Radiesse can be both administered on its own and complemented by other treatments. Dr. Schwarzburg can combine Radiesse injections with Botox for fine line and wrinkle smoothing, if that’s the goal of the patient. By the way, this is a common practice. It can also be combined with medical grade skin tightening treatments such as Secret RF microneedling and Fraxel laser. This will help enhance collagen production and improve the quality of the skin. There are no negative side effects associated with Radiesse being combined with other treatments. Thus, the matter of combinations is basically determined by the individual needs of the patients. Taking this as a baseline, Dr. Schwarzburg creates customized treatment plans for each of his patients.

The price of Radiesse depends on the amount of filler needed, the treatment region, and the qualifications and skill level of the practitioner. Geographical location of the clinic can also affect the price, e.g. a board certified cosmetic surgeon in NYC will probably set a higher price for the procedure than a nurse working in Upstate New York. The average cost of one Radiesse syringe varies from $800 – $1200.
