RADIESSE® in Los Gatos, CA

Today there are many injectable fillers available for you to use for facial rejuvenation. The RADIESSE injectable wrinkle filler, offered by Dr. Maia Chakerian in Los Gatos, CA, is a wonderful option for mild to moderate wrinkles and lines on the face and for reversing age-related loss of fullness in the skin. Patients who might not have time for repeat appointments will appreciate the lasting results (in many cases, lasting well over a year) of RADIESSE. With microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite in a water-based gel, RADIESSE plumps and softens the look of your face with minimally invasive treatment. RADIESSE has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to safely volumize your facial features. It can be used in tandem with other injectable treatments (wrinkle relaxers and fillers) for a unique procedure to rejuvenate your skin for your personal needs. Look younger and improve your confidence with RADIESSE injectable wrinkle fillers at Sereno Santé in Los Gatos, CA.

You may be interested in minimizing the signs of aging but don’t want the consistent maintenance sessions required by other filler treatments. For Los Gatos, CA individuals drawn to longer-term options, Radiesse might be an effective anti-aging alternative, offering advantages like:

• Smoothing out dynamic lines and wrinkles
• Bolstering your self-confidence
• Encouraging new collagen development
• Improving the contours of the jawline, cheeks, and nasolabial folds
• Providing long-lasting results that look natural
• FDA-approved for the hands and face
• No downtime is necessary

Men and women who are in good health and have mild to moderate wrinkles and lines are great patients for RADIESSE injectable treatments. This procedure treats marionette lines, smile lines, pre-jowl folds, chin wrinkles, and lines that form on the edges of the mouth. RADIESSE is also approved to correct volume that is often lost with age in the hands to make them smoother and younger-looking. You shouldn’t receive this treatment if you are allergic to lidocaine or other ingredients in RADIESSE. Be sure to talk to Dr. Chakerian about any allergies (whether mild or severe) and if you have a history of any bleeding disorders. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, may be pregnant, or are considering pregnancy in the next 1 – 2 years, you shouldn’t get RADIESSE injections.

RADIESSE dermal injections are performed in one of the treatment rooms at Sereno Santé in about 30 – 60 minutes once you have completed the initial consultation. To start the procedure, you will be seated in a relaxed position while the injection sites will be cleaned and marked. Many patients feel mild discomfort throughout their procedure at the first prick, but if preferred, a numbing agent can be spread on the treatment sites to avoid any potential pain. The dosage of RADIESSE selected during your consultation will be placed in an ultra-fine syringe. The marked injection sites will guide the injector to carefully administer RADIESSE into the face. After the treatment is finished, a cold compress may be applied to alleviate swelling and bruising.

Following your treatment, you may see some redness, swelling, and bruising. This is common and should only last for about a week. These side effects can typically be covered with cosmetics. If the bruising, swelling, or redness lasts longer or seems excessive, please do not hesitate to call Sereno Santé. Many patients see visible results immediately, with better results appearing over time. Your face will appear younger, softer, and more radiant. RADIESSE tends to last longer compared to other dermal fillers — up to 1 – 2 years. You can talk to Dr. Maia Chakerian at your appointment about when to get your next injection to touch up your results.
