Radiesse Injections Connecticut

Radiesse Injection Overview

Remember when your face was full and your features were plump? Your skin lay smoothly and softly over your cheekbones like the skin on a ripe, juicy peach. Now that you're getting older, you notice your face losing its density. As we age, and as gravity takes its toll, our facial muscles and other structural tissues begin to atrophy causing hollowness in our cheeks, drooping of our brow line, and thinness of our lips. At Imperial Plastic Surgery in Westport. Connecticut plastic surgeon, Dr. Singer, uses the cosmetic injectable filler Radiesse™ to increase the volume of facial structures beneath the skin, allowing the skin to unfold and un-furrow so it lies tight and firm over plump, revitalized, youthful looking features.

Radiesse™ is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible carboxymethylcellulose gel. Essentially, Radiesse™ is a calcium mineral compound suspended in an injectable gel. Since calcium is the mineral found in bones and teeth, it is biocompatible and hypoallergenic and does not require a skin test before treatment. In our Westport, CT offices, Dr. Singer injects Radiesse™ deep beneath the skin to augment your natural facial tissues to improve deep frown lines, nasal furrows, and scar depressions and to plump the cheeks and lips.

Radiesse™ treatments take less than one hour, and with our office conveniently located between the 15 and 95 freeways in Westport, we can fit an appointment into any busy schedule.

Results from Radiesse™ can be seen immediately, and since Radiesse™ is not absorbed by the tissue, no overfilling is necessary. Treatments can last for more than a year, which makes Radiesse™ very cost effective. Radiesse™ remains soft and pliable over a long period of time so your results will continue without hardening or diminishing.

Radiesse™ treatments can also be combined with Microdermabrasion, IPL Photo Facials, or any other skin resurfacing treatments. Resurfacing the outer layers of skin before injecting Radiesse™, can enhance the overall effects of both treatments.

Dr. Singer uses ultra-fine needles to inject the gel. More than one injection may be required for each line, fold or wrinkle. Radiesse™ injections are not painful, and a topical anesthetic cream can be used pre-treatment to numb the injection site. Swelling and redness can occur, but only in rare cases.

If you're planning on having Radiesse™ injections before a big event, like a wedding, reunion, or big office party, Dr. Singer suggests scheduling treatment a week to 10 days before the event for optimal results.
