Radiesse (Radiesse) - a drug for solving the problems of mature skin

What is mesoradiess, what makes it unique

Mesoradies is a new and safe technique for reinforcing and rejuvenating sagging and aging skin on the neck, face, and décolleté. Uniqueness - in achieving the effect from the first time due to increased production of your own collagen, while reducing the number of wrinkles and folds, increasing the elasticity and firmness of the skin.

The correction can be done in a matter of minutes, even during your lunch break and without any aggressive surgical procedures. Although, of course, mesoradiess is not rhinoplasty and the duration of the effect does not exceed 2 years.

The procedure involves injecting a drug (calcium hydroxyapatite), diluted with saline, under the skin (into thinned problem areas), namely into the surface layers. Next is the masterful laying of thin threads that can hold the frame and prevent the displacement of the facial cheekbones at the bottom of the oval of the face. This is a truly unique and popular procedure and a real key to youth. Numerous reviews from women are proof of this. As a result, what happens:

• production of your own natural collagen;
• regeneration of the surface layers of the skin;
• return of firmness, elasticity, youthfulness.

Despite its novelty, this procedure has already earned recognition among women as safe, painless and with a minimum of contraindications. The effect will last up to 1 year. The appearance of your face changes right before your eyes. This gives confidence and vigor to older women, because withered skin needs nourishment, as over the years it loses tone, elasticity, and moisture.

How is the procedure done?

The session of introducing a Radiesse implant under the skin can be divided into three stages. In general, these stages are similar to other manipulations in the field of contouring. But the procedure also has a number of features that the patient should be aware of at the planning stage. So, manipulations mean:

1. Administration of a local anesthetic (Lidocaine is most often used for these purposes; it has a good and quick effect, as well as a long-lasting effect).
2. Injections of the drug Radiesse itself (The amount of corrector and the points for its implementation are determined by a certified specialist during the examination).
3. Rehabilitation period (Does not require compliance with any special measures. It will be enough for you to comply with general restrictions that will secure a positive result).

The amount of the drug is determined by a cosmetologist

Indications and contraindications

Today you can get a lifting effect and a rested, rejuvenated face in a matter of hours. Mesoradiesse consists of pulling mesothreads under the skin, filling the space with environmentally friendly contents, by introducing a preparation based on hyaluronic acid or a resorbable filler with a preparation filled with radisse.

Attention! The technique is responsible and sophisticated, so it should be carried out exclusively by a specialist who knows the location of all langer lines under the skin.

Radiesse is a non-toxic drug and the procedure can be prescribed to any woman over the age of 35 if problem areas appear on the skin and décolleté for:

• maintaining the maxillofacial frame, preventing the tissues on the face below from moving;
• to correct age-related changes on the face;
• eliminating wrinkles;
• giving the correct shape to the mandibular angle of the chin and a rounded appearance to the face in men, thanks to the introduction of hyaluronic acid;
• increasing bone mass.

Thus, you can get the lifting effect in a complex in just 1 procedure.

The drug radisese in cosmetology today has acquired a wide area for use, thanks to which it is possible to eliminate many problems on the face. All components in the composition are completely eliminated from the body after about 1 year. You can observe an increase in the tone of the facial muscles, skin elasticity and smoothing of wrinkles without any compaction under the skin approximately 1 month after the procedure.

For better distribution of the drug under the covers, it is advisable to take care of the skin over the next 5 days: massaging the facial folds and cheekbones like a Thai massage.

The drug mesoradiess is fully certified. This is a long-acting filler to fill soft tissue deficits and even enhance lips if desired. Allows you to quickly smooth out wrinkles, increase elasticity and tone of the skin. Can be used on any areas with the appearance of sagging and signs of aging.

There are a few contraindications, but, like other lifting techniques, they exist:

• diabetes;
• epilepsy attacks;
• chronic internal diseases;
• inflammatory processes and infectious problems on the skin;
• blood clotting disorder;
• pregnancy and lactation;
• individual intolerance to the components of Radiesse and hyaluronic acid.

The procedure is inexpensive. You can save time and money if you learn the stages and carry it out yourself at home in subsequent times.

Information about the corrector: history and composition

The drug Radiesse was presented by the American company BioForm Medical relatively long ago, about 20 years ago, back in 1995. Radiesse was originally used in dentistry, surgery, and to replenish soft tissue volume in HIV-infected people. Currently, the official supplier of the corrector is the German concern Merz, and the filler is used in the field of contouring.

The product is considered quite popular; it has gained recognition and positive reviews from both professional cosmetologists and patients. Among those who appreciated this product is the iconic Hollywood actor Brad Pitt.

The composition of the filler is simple, which does not prevent it from being quite effective. The filler includes only two components, among them:

• Calcium hydroxyapatite (Is a synthetic analogue of a substance contained in human bone tissue. This component does not cause rejection or allergies, its action is aimed at regulating the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body. The drug stimulates the independent production of collagen, which fills the voids under the skin, eliminating wrinkles and modeling new forms).
• Auxiliary ingredient-gel (A water-based product whose task is to transport the active component to the final goal. It is completely safe and is excreted from the body approximately 30 days after the injections were given).

Benefits and Side Effects

Mesoradiesse is great for all women to get rid of wrinkles, folds and sagging skin naturally, without resorting to complex and often dangerous surgical operations.

The duration of the effect is approximately 12 months, although in places not involved in facial expressions, the effect can last much longer. Radiesse dermal filler lasts much longer, unlike other methods, and this saves time and money for patients and numerous reviews confirm this.

The main advantages of mesoradiess include:

• non-toxicity, harmlessness of the drug;
• absence of mutagenesis and allergic reaction after injection;
• inability to have a negative effect on the fetus if carried out at the time of pregnancy, although it is better to postpone the procedure;
• the possibility of combining with other procedures (chemical peeling, mesotherapy, Botox) also by administering injections under the skin;
• the appearance of an instant visual effect;
• stimulation of the production of your own collagen;
• providing additional positive effects on the body;
• immediate elimination of signs of aging and skin aging in one session;
• deep injection of the drug into the lower layers of the dermis, but not leading to damage to blood vessels and internal organs.

Despite the many advantages of mesoradiance, it is worth noting side effects, which, of course, can occur if the dosages administered to the skin are not followed, as well as the execution technique and simple hygiene rules, so that the procedure does not cause complications on the skin, which can only be eliminated surgically.

Women should take care and follow all the rules indicated by doctors after the procedure. During the first 3-4 days :

• apply antiseptic creams to the face;
• do not use decorative cosmetics;
• refuse to visit the gym, solarium, sauna, bathhouse. Cosmetology Kaliningrad - here you can get mesoradiess and other effective procedures for facial rejuvenation.

Anastasia Saibel: vector lifting technique and reinforcement with Radiesse

Radiesse is already known to cosmetologists as an effective and safe filler that can successfully fill volume deficits and fill deep folds on the face. However, scientific research into the action of the drug continues, and today we can talk about its new properties to improve the quality of the skin and obtain a pronounced, safe anti-aging result.

Anastasia Saibel, Ph.D., international expert at Merz Aesthetics, answered questions from estet-portal.com about the features of Radiesse and its use.

Please tell me why you think it is important to remind about the features of the drug? After all, it is already known to our doctors.

– Yes, Radiesse has been known for a long time. Calcium hydroxyapatite in this drug was registered in Europe back in 2004 and in 2006 the drug received FDA approval. But many of my colleagues still doubt the safety and effectiveness of this drug, and today we are already talking about the use of Radiesse not only for indications: facial augmentation, filling volume deficits and filling deep folds, but we are also talking about the vector technique lifting and about the third effect of Radiesse - improving the quality of the skin, not only the face, but also the body. Therefore, today, in order for us to make the most effective use of this triple effect of Radiesse, of course, we need to remember the features of the drug. Firstly, its excellent biocompatibility, because calcium is a natural component of our body. It is found not only in teeth and bones, but also in muscles and skin. It is important that we once again understand safety so that we get the maximum effect. It should be noted that the period of biodegradation of the Radiesse drug is about one year; this rate depends, firstly, on the volume of the administered drug, on the depth of administration and on the characteristics of the patient’s body - on age, on the speed of metabolic processes. Therefore, in older patients we sometimes see a little more biodegradation. In young, active patients and athletes, the degradation may be even less than 9 months, so they will need correction a little earlier. In general, on average, the drug gives an effect for a period of one year due to its volume and maintains the duration of the result for up to one and a half, two years due to the fact that it provides the formation of new collagenogenesis.

Why is it important to know drug dilution techniques?

– In order for us to receive only stimulation of the synthesis of new, normal collagen of the first and third types, we must really dilute the drug with saline. solution to remove its volumetric properties, otherwise we will get the so-called hypercorrection effect. Therefore, it is important for us to reduce the viscosity and elasticity of the drug, for this we add physical. solution.

What are the features of the methods of working with the drug?

– If we are talking about reinforcing the skin of the face and body, the so-called meso-Radiesse, then it is very important to understand that we are converting the gel form of the Radiesse drug into a so-called suspension, where there is no longer a gel carrier, but a liquid phase of the drug due to physical. solution in which calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres are located. This suspension must be homogeneous during administration, so we always use large-volume syringes in order to evenly mix the drug itself with the saline. solution. During the procedure, we constantly continue to stir and control the clarity of the distribution of microspheres and the uniformity of the suspension during injection.

By what mechanisms does the drug affect collagenosis? How does its breeding depend on this?

– Dilution depends not so much on the mechanisms of action of the drug, but on the thickness of the patient’s skin, on the correction zone. And as for the mechanisms of stimulation of collagenogenesis, this was first proven for the standard form of the Radiesse drug, namely Radiesse, and not its generics, in studies that proved both biodegradation and features of a prolonged effect. These are quite old studies, dating back to 2004, but in 2013, Professor Yutskovskaya and Professor Kogan conducted studies, including those proving the stimulation of neocollagenogenesis in breeding. This was an additional study on volunteer patients when dilutions of ½ and ⅛ were used, and it should be noted that in both dilutions of ½ and ⅛ we saw an increase in the thickness of the dermis due to the formation of type 1 and 3 collagen in all patients, but the quality of elastin fibers changed better diluted ½, not ⅛. There was also a qualitative improvement, but it was more pronounced in a more concentrated dilution. Accordingly, based on this study, we can subdivide the indications for meso-Radiesse. If we only see age-related skin atrophy in patients, then we can, let’s say, save the volume of Radiesse and use a larger dilution of ⅙, ⅛. If we see signs of photoaging in a patient, and this is elastosis, then in this case the drug works better in a more concentrated dilution of ½, ⅓. This is how we choose the volume of dilution.

What are the advantages of the drug when working with age-related atrophy?

– The fact is that in any case, regardless of age, we will still receive stimulation of neocollagenogenesis. And we work with age-related skin atrophy using other remodeling methods, including hardware cosmetology (laser procedures, RF lifting, Ultera). All these methods, through trauma, stimulate the formation of new collagen and cause remodeling of the dermis. But for an older patient and especially a postmenopausal patient, there is one small problem. If the patient does not receive hormone replacement therapy and is really, let’s say, old, then in this case the fibroblast has already forgotten that it needs to produce something, including collagen. In this situation, in order for us to get the most pronounced restructuring of the skin structure, it is necessary to reinforce Radiesse, for example, 3-4 months before laser procedures, RF lifting, alter therapy. In some patients, after three months, we again apply diluted Radiesse reinforcement in order to further enhance the effect, and then we get an excellent result. Moreover, it should be noted that thread methods are still popular among older patients.

But when the patient has loose skin, age-related atrophy is pronounced, thread lifting does not give a beautiful, natural effect, and in this case, again, meso-Radiesse allows you to first rebuild the skin and then fix it using, for example, thread techniques.

What can cause adverse events when administering the drug?

– As a matter of fact, as with standard use of Radiesse, adverse events can occur when we use it incorrectly - primarily when we use it in non-recommended areas. Just like regular Radiesse, you cannot use meso-Radiesse in the periorbital, perioral, or forehead areas. There are actively working muscles in the perioral and periorbital region, and administration of the drug in this area may cause the appearance of nodules. Such nodules are accumulations of calcium hydroxyapatite microspheres. There is simply no pronounced sagging in the forehead area, so this indication is not entirely relevant.

Then there is the incorrect depth of injection and the injection technique itself. In order for us to use the drug as efficiently and safely as possible, this is why all training is conducted. In addition, sometimes our patient hides information about his state of health, about previously performed procedures - in this case, adverse events may also occur.

But in terms of various biological causes and adverse events, Radiesse is absolutely safe. It does not have immunostimulating activity, since, let me remind you once again, this is a natural component of our body.

How can a doctor dealing with the drug for the first time avoid possible complications?

– Come to the training! This is the best. Practice, practice and more practice. We all studied at some point, we all started at some point, but it is better to do this under the guidance of an experienced coach who will give advice and help. In the presence of the patient, we never make any inappropriate remarks, we try to simply guide the doctor, and discuss all the nuances in the absence of the patient in order, again, to preserve the reputation of the doctor and the drug.

What mistakes would you like to warn doctors about when working with the drug?

– Firstly, we need to clearly select patients, because we still have patients with high expectations - this primarily applies to older patients with pronounced gravitational manifestations, for example, according to the Merz Aesthetics aging scale, these are stages 3 and 4. In this case, a plastic surgeon is needed. The Radiesse drug, both in standard dilution and meso, will only be an addition to this aesthetic correction.

Therefore, in my opinion, the selection of patients is first of all important, it is important to choose the right injection time, select the zone, and, accordingly, inject the drug technically correctly.

What results can a doctor achieve with proper use of the drug?

- Magnificent! Simply wonderful, because this unique triple effect is then seen as qualitatively new skin, and meso-Radiesse perfectly complements volumetric correction. I really hope that you will have a Belotero line in the near future. In patients with the muscular type of aging, when there is no tendency to edema, we can correct deep volumes with a filler based on stabilized hyaluronic acid (Belotero Volume), and improve the quality of the skin using meso-Radiesse. In this case, we, again, will get an excellent, pronounced and safe result.

Subtleties of the procedure

The mesoradiance procedure involves an injection and, of course, many women doubt the duration of the effect and the uniform distribution of the gel under the skin. The execution technique and instructions for using the filler require correct implementation of the procedure.

The subtleties are that the filler used is not quite ordinary. This is a synthetic gel and quickly fills all wrinkles and voids under the skin. But if filled unevenly, it will, of course, lead to a negative and short-lived result.

The fact is that the effect, of course, after the injection of radise is formed gradually. The final result can be observed after about 1 month. As a result, increased production of your own collagen begins due to the introduction of a thin needle (cannula) with a blunt end with special contents. If the skin is overly sensitive, the doctor may give an anesthetic injection or apply local anesthesia if the pain threshold is increased. Although numerous reviews say that the procedure does not cause much discomfort in women.

Mesoradiesse is a kind of facial reinforcement in the presence of large lesions, but just 1 puncture is enough to lay the first mesothread first, then all subsequent ones in parallel. Strong threads create an invisible reinforcing frame and do not lead to the formation of scars on the skin if a specialist has the right approach and carries out step-by-step manipulations to achieve a long-term, sustainable effect.

To eliminate wrinkles and folds, it is possible to place face lift threads in the deeper layers of the dermis, in part of the hypodermal layer.

The duration of the procedure is 20-40 minutes. Women can return to their normal lifestyle on the same day, but it is important to take precautions:

• do not touch your face with your hands in the first 2 days;
• refrain from applying decorative cosmetics for 1 week;
• do not strain the muscles of the face and cheekbones;
• Avoid physical activity and exposure to the sun for a week.

The effect will be noticeable immediately, although this phenomenon is temporary, because high-speed formation of new connective tissue under the skin, of course, is simply impossible to achieve. Radies filler can be used again no earlier than after 2 months, because problem areas on the skin must heal properly. After the initial procedure, it is imperative to disinfect the skin, perform a light smoothing massage to speed up the resorption of the injected gel, and prevent the possible appearance of swelling and hematoma on the face.

Skin care after the procedure

After Radiesse injections, some patients experience swelling, redness, or mild itching. In rare cases, the skin in the area affected by Radiesse filler becomes denser or changes its original color. Such complications are only temporary. Everything will return to normal in literally 2-3 days.

To speed up the healing of Radiesse injection sites and speed up the distribution of filler, the following recommendations should be followed after the procedure:

• for the first 2 days, ice compresses are applied to the treated area;
• Do not be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time;
• try to avoid expressive facial expressions for 48 hours after the procedure.

In addition to recommendations, there is a list of categorical prohibitions for 7 days after the procedure:

• do not apply cosmetics to the treated area;
• do not use a sauna, public swimming pool or solarium;
• do not take medications that can thin the blood, including regular aspirin for headaches;
• do not eat a lot of fatty foods; it is better to limit vitamin E in your diet;
• completely avoid alcoholic beverages.

Reviews

Mesoradises as a new modern technique has been used in cosmetology relatively recently, but positive reviews on the Internet are updated daily by both women and lifting specialists.

1. Elena . I have been using Radiesse for 7 years now after I studied all the features of this composition. It helps to correct the oval of the face and chin, gives freshness, naturalness and attractiveness to the face. My appearance changed right before my eyes, and I did not find any side effects.
2. Anna. Thanks to the universal filler – radise. Thanks to it, you can correct and eliminate almost any defects on the face. Previously, I often resorted to laser technologies for face lifting, but gel with hyaluronic acid is a truly unique composition for restoring facial contours, activating the production of natural collagen, and eliminating wrinkles. The procedure did not lead to swelling, which I was simply surprised by.
3. Alina . This anti-aging technique eliminates wrinkles even in the most hidden small folds on the face. This is my first time using mesoradiess, but the result exceeded all my expectations. The natural production of collagen is activated, the pores are recharged and saturated with oxygen. This is the most important thing for the skin. The procedure can solve many problems on the face at once in one fell swoop. Read the reviews, most are positive. If you use the filler correctly, you will not experience allergies or other side effects. I recommend.

Is the procedure with Radiesse safe?

Manipulation involves damage to the skin and intrusion into the development of its cells. But there is no need to doubt its safety for several reasons:

• preliminary testing of the filler lasted 3 years and did not reveal any health problems among the subjects;
• the use of 5 million packages did not reveal a single rejection reaction;
• the gel is distributed evenly and does not migrate to other layers of tissue;
• capsules do not form around it;
• the areas where the product was introduced do not differ from those where it is not (they are soft, plastic, without visible signs of the presence of a synthetic substance).

Unique features of Radiesse

As cosmetologists note, by playing with the depth of injection of the drug, you can completely remove emerging jowls, strengthen and even lengthen the line of the lower jaw, and sharpen the chin. The drug can also enlarge the cheekbones and restore the volume of the face. This is especially true for people with round faces. After all, sharper facial features make the appearance more sophisticated. They add chic and unique charm!

Radiesse is also indispensable for men: with its help, it is possible to enlarge the chin and make the angles of the lower jaw more massive, which gives the face a more masculine appearance.

Who is suitable for Radiesse correction?

Correction with Radiesse filler is indicated for patients who have:

• lack of volume in the cheeks, cheekbones or chin, as well as in the temporal areas;
• nasolabial folds and marionette wrinkles;
• nasal deformities;
• age-related changes in the ear area;
• age-related changes on the back of the hands and décolleté.

If necessary, filler can be used on other parts of the body - it naturally fills tissue deficits, eliminating their sagging.

Correction of cheekbones with Radiesse filler

Beautiful high cheekbones give a youthful appearance. Today, it is only possible to “remove” such cheekbones without surgery using Radiesse.

Contour plastic surgery of the cheekbones with Radiesse gives a very good and long-lasting result, since the filler has a high viscosity, which is ideal for correcting this particular area. With just a few injections, the filler allows you to correct your cheekbones. This technique is characterized by the absence of a postoperative period and almost instant results.

With the help of Radiesse, new contours are formed not only of the cheekbones, but also of the cheeks, while taking into account the smallest anatomical features of the face.

It is noteworthy that Radiesse injections make it possible not only to enlarge, but also to make low cheekbones higher, and to turn thin and plump faces into normal ones.

For what reasons did the myths about Radiesse appear?

Myths about Radiesse appeared due to the fact that this drug was previously insufficiently studied. When it first came to market, the research results available today were not yet available. The lack of data about the drug has led to many misconceptions that, unfortunately, continue to exist. For example, many people mistakenly believe that:

• after Radiesse injections, bone will grow;
• after administration of Radiesse, dense fibrosis is formed;
• Radiesse is only capable of creating volume in tissues.

How quickly can you see the effect after Radiesse correction?

The first result is visible immediately after application. Radiesse is evenly distributed in empty areas of the subcutaneous layer, returning aesthetically attractive volume to the tissues.

2-3 months after the injection, macrophages (utilizer cells in the skin) absorb the gel carrier, calcium microspheres remain, they stimulate the production of new collagen.

After administration of the drug, the face will look young and healthy for at least 2 years. Longer-lasting effects are also noted. At the same time, there are no negative consequences after the injection of filler: facial expressions remain natural, and skin color does not change its natural shade.
