Radiesse Dermal Filler 

Dermal fillers such as Radiesse currently rank as the second most popular cosmetic procedure in the US after Botox. The FDA approved Radiesse med spa filler injection is typically performed for cosmetic reasons, which means that it will not be covered by medical insurance. Therefore, cost of Radiesse becomes an important starting point for many patients. At the time of initial consultation, the treatment provider will discuss various aspects of Radiesse dermal filler procedure, including its estimated costs. The first concern of the provider will be to help the patient make a well-considered decision. Rejuvenate medical spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, provides Radiesse to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Tarzana, Los Angeles, CA, and other neighborhoods and cities in this part of Southern California.

Price Tag Comparison

Innovations in non-surgical med spa procedures have led to the development of a variety of facial rejuvenation treatment options, including laser, RF and ultrasound based procedures. Radiesse dermal filler treatment is likely to be more cost-effective than many other facial anti-aging procedures, considering the cost of injections and the longevity of results. As a result, many Americans now prefer dermal fillers such as Radiesse over various other skin rejuvenation options. Radiesse can prove to be more cost-effective even in comparison to several other dermal filler injections. This is because Radiesse results can sustain for about a year to 18 months, while many other dermal fillers only create results that will last for about six months to a year. The patient should evaluate the cost of Radiesse in the light of its sustainability of results. The treatment provider can perform Radiesse injections in a med spa environment, without the need for general anesthesia or sedation. Unlike surgical treatments, Radiesse injections do not involve the costs of a surgery center or an anesthesiologist’s fee. Radiesse may only involve one office appointment, while light or heat based treatments usually involve multiple appointments. Post-injection downtime is negligible in case of Radiesse injections. This may prove to be an additional cost-saver for working people who may want to go back to work immediately after the procedure.

Cost Factors

The cost of Radiesse injectable procedure may marginally vary between two med spas and even between two patients at the same med spa. One of the major factors impacting the cost is the location of the med spa. Prime urban centers and main metropolitan areas typically have higher costs due to higher real estate expenses and other overheads. Patients should also look at the skill and experience of the treatment provider, the quality standards and best practices maintained at the med spa, and the level of personalized care and services provided. In any case, the patient should ideally choose the best provider for their needs, and costs should be a secondary consideration in a procedure such as Radiesse.

Extent of Treatment

The actual sticker price of Radiesse will be determined according to the actual volume of filler gel used for a patient. Some patients may require a follow-up treatment after three months, which will have additional costs.

Radiesse Dermal Filler 

radiesse-handRadiesse has been one of the popular facial fillers designed to reduce facial wrinkles, creases, and lines with an injectable anti-aging procedure. Recently, the FDA has approved Radiesse also for the wrinkle reduction in the dorsum of the hands. Loose skin and loss of volume in the hands can make them appear old, wrinkled, and unsightly. Radiesse injections can be used in a targeted manner in the affected areas of the skin to reverse this condition and restore a more youthful appearance of the hands. Rejuvenate Medical Spa, led by Dr. Bijan Farah, is a leading provider of Radiesse and other dermal filler treatments. The med spa receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, CA, and surrounding communities.

Proven Results

Radiesse is a unique dermal filler that is based on calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) micro crystals. This gel-based filler is seen to have a volumizing effect on the sagging skin in the face as well as hands, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Results with Radiesse can last up to 12 months or even more in some cases. A controlled and randomized clinical trial in the US was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of Radiesse on the hands. The evaluators in the trial reported that the appearance of both hands was improved with Radiesse in 75% of the treated patients at the end of three months. Among the treated patients, 98% reported improvement in their hand appearance at three months. The trial involved measurements on the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). The results of the trial were correlated with clinical improvement in the study, and all primary and secondary endpoints were fulfilled.

High Safety with Radiesse

When Radiesse was tested for hand rejuvenation, the adverse events reported during the testing were mostly related to reactions on the injection site. These included swelling, redness, pain, and bruising in the treated areas. The pain and swelling was typically found to be mild to moderate, and no treatment was required to treat these temporary effects. Any serious device related adverse events were not reported during the testing. However, despite the high safety characteristics of Radiesse, it is important to choose a qualified and reputed medical spa for this procedure for best results. Dr. Farah receives patients from Encino, Sherman Oaks, San Fernando, Calabasas, CA, and nearby locations at Rejuvenate med spa for Radiesse and other dermal filler treatments.

How does Radiesse Work?

Radiesse gel consists of tiny microspheres that are suspended in the solution. The primary active ingredient in the gel is CaHA, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Therefore, no advance allergy tests are needed for Radiesse treatment. Following the injectable treatment with Radiesse gel, the patient can notice significant improvement in the treated area in terms of diminishing signs of aging. Natural collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin is stimulated, which leads to the development of fresh tissue for sustainable results. The procedure on both hands can be completed in about half an hour.
