Return To Your Youthful V-Shape With Radiesse Liquid Facelift

Your face tells a lot about your age. Women with V-shaped faces are often seen as more youthful due to the slim lower face, defined jawline, and sharp chin. A Radiesse liquid facelift is a facial rejuvenation procedure that results in a more youthful appearance without the risks and downtime of a surgical procedure.

So how can a Radiesse liquid facelift return your youthful V-shaped face? Radiesse liquid facelift is a combination treatment to help lift the face to reverse facial aging and create that ideal V-shape. It can add fullness to the cheek area to further enhance the V-shape you are aiming for. This goal will be achieved by using filler injections to add volume to the midface, specifically your cheeks.

What Exactly Is A Radiesse Liquid Facelift?

Radiesse liquid facelift is a non surgical procedure that uses cosmetic injectables in lines and wrinkles, and adds volume to facial features in which there is a decrease in collagen due to the natural aging process.

The dermal filler Radiesse is classified as collagen biostimulators. Collagen biostimulators work to promote the growth of collagen and other skin firming proteins far after being injected which makes it an effective ingredient for a liquid facelift.

1. How Does It Work?

This procedure is conducted by injecting the Radiesse facial filler to fill out hollow features, restore volume, and reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles in the treatment area. The goal of this procedure is to smoothen facial lines and wrinkles, lift the face, and return to it a youthful V-shape appearance.

However, the Radiesse liquid facelift is much more than just for wrinkles and for adding volume to the skin. The components of a Radiesse injections actively rebuild your skin’s foundation. The product acts as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure, but also stimulating your own production of natural collagen. This production of collagen continues for several months, which extends beyond the initial effect of the treatment.

2. What Is Radiesse Made Of?

Radiesse is an injectable filler that is made of a combination of a gel with tiny calcium microspheres called calcium hydroxylapatite, which is structurally similar to what is found in the bones and teeth.

Calcium hydroxylapatite is the heaviest and most substantial filler that is available in the cosmetic world. This type of facial filler is commonly used for deep folds or creases, such as frown lines, sunken cheeks, fine lines and nasolabial folds.

3. How Is It Different From Other Fillers?

The advanced dermal fillers that are used in a Radiesse liquid facelift stimulate the production of collagen that is already in your body and at the same time help your body build its own natural facial filler. As the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres are absorbed into the body, collagen continues to build in the dermal layers of the skin for as long as two years.

Though products such as a Restylane injectable filler can also plumpen and smoothen the treatment area, this filler injection uses a different kind of solution called hyaluronic acid. The calcium hydroxyapatite formula of Radiesse injections helps to trigger the production of new collagen in the body. As calcium hydroxylapatite stimulates the body’s own natural collagen production, fewer follow-up treatments are required to achieve the desired result. 

Over time, the ongoing increase in collagen as a result of the treatment will gradually continue to reveal a smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin tone with increased volume. This injectable dermal filler is preferred for the sagging skin, frown lines, nasolabial folds and as wrinkle relaxers.

Here is Everything You Need To Know About Liquid Facelifts.

What Can Radiesse Liquid Facelifts Treat?

Radiesse liquid facelifts work in the deepest layers underneath the skin’s surface, offering support and firmness. It triggers the increase in collagen production that will lead to improved smoothness, volume, and elasticity in the skin. 

With its collagen stimulating capabilities, a Radiesse liquid facelift is known to treat various concerns in your skin. Here are some of the concerns a Radiesse liquid facelift can treat:

1. Cheeks Volume Loss

Volume loss in the cheeks is a major reason we lose that youthful profile over the years. Radiesse is an ideal filler to replenish lost volume in the cheeks as it will actively build up collagen in the cheeks. With a Radiesse liquid facelift, the treatment can be customized to mold and shape into the desired contour during the procedure.

2. Nasal Bridge Augmentation

Radiesse liquid facelift is also used as a temporary alternative to rhinoplasty to increase volume or height in the bridge of the nose. With the stimulating ability and collagen production of a Radiesse dermal filler, the treated top of your nasal bridge will build up gradually. Radiesse dermal fillers provide a great structural support that is perfect for a nasal bridge augmentation.

3. Deep Creases and Wrinkles

A Radiesse liquid facelift is known to be effective in areas where volume has been depleted. The Radiesse injectable filler will work to replace volume in areas with deep creases and wrinkles in the face. It begins to work immediately by lifting and restoring facial volume while stimulating new collagen production in your face which will smoothen out the wrinkle and creases.

What Can I Benefit From A Radiesse Liquid Facelift?

The Radiesse Liquid Facelift is much more than just treating facial lines and sagging skin and lifting the face. This procedure offers very specific advantages as it is among the only cosmetic procedures that works by stimulating natural collagen production. This treatment will reverse the most obvious signs of aging with a natural solution that will be reabsorbed seamlessly into the body.

The production of natural collagen continues for several months, meaning that your skin continues to improve over time, resulting in a gradual enhancement of skin. With its gradual results, people who undergo a Radiesse liquid facelift can still see the skin-smoothing benefits up to two years after their face lift procedure.

Liquid facelifts are generally much safer than traditional surgical approaches. A Radiesse liquid facelift approach does not require any incisions. The elimination of incisions reduces the potential of infection or damage to critical nerves in your body.

Your face is not the only beneficiary of a Radiesse liquid facelift. Your bank will also benefit as this procedure is one of the most cost-efficient treatments for a facial rejuvenation. A liquid facelift costs significantly lower than a traditional facelift. Your Radiesse liquid facelift will be completely customized based on your facial features and your desired goals so you will know exactly where your money will be spent.

What To Expect In A Radiesse Liquid Facelift Treatment?

1. What Happens During the Procedure?

Radiesse liquid facelift being a noninvasive procedure, does not require a lot of preparations leading to your actual appointment. Every patient’s procedure will vary depending on the condition of their facial features, fine and smile lines, and desired results. The treatment generally will take anywhere between 20 to 45 minutes.

The injection areas will then be cleaned and topical numbing agents will be applied to ensure that the process is as comfortable as possible. Once the area has numbed, the injections will be performed with a thin needle. Your plastic surgeon may gently massage the fillers into the area for an even appearance. 

2. What To Expect After the Procedure

Unlike a traditional facelift, a liquid facelift requires no surgery and no downtime. Patients can immediately go back to usual activities after treatment. The most common side effects after a Radiesse liquid facelift are minimal swelling and bruising in the treated area. You can reduce the bruising and swelling by using an ice pack or cold compress after the procedure. Though recovery will vary from patient to patient, these minimal side effects typically fade within the first week after the procedure.

You will see visible results immediately following the treatment. But over the course of several weeks, you will see lines and creases continue to disappear gradually and naturally, as collagen production in your skin cells increases. Some minor tenderness is to be expected immediately following your appointment. 

3. How Long Does A Radiesse Liquid Facelift Last?

Most people who get a Radiesse liquid facelift treatment can still see the benefits up to two years after their initial procedure. The reason it lasts so long has to do with the dual way it fights the signs of aging. Radiesse filler injection stimulates your natural anti-aging process with its ability of producing new collagen in your skin. 

While a Radiesse liquid facelift offers a long lasting result, it is not a permanent solution for your problem areas. It is still best to have a suitable maintenance plan that is curated personally for you. For more serious problems such as massive volume loss and deeper facial lines, a surgical facelift might be the ideal procedure. Consulting your plastic surgeon for the treatment option best for your need is recommended.

How Much Does A Radiesse Liquid Facelift Cost?

A Radiesse liquid facelift procedure can generally cost around $1000 - $4000. This heavily depends on the amount of Radiesse dermal fillers are needed to treat your facial volume loss and enhancements. Larger treatment areas such as the cheeks and nose bridge augmentation will likely cost higher than facial lines treatment.

Other factors that could affect the cost are additional procedures bundled with the liquid face lift and the experience level of the physician administering the treatment. Your Radiesse liquid facelift will be completely customized based on your facial feature, signs of aging, and the unique skin issues you will be addressing.
