- Radiesse the V effect

- What is the secret of turning back the "V" back ?
- Radiesse for volume and contour definition
A young face has a “V” shape
The younger the face, the firmer the skin and the more defined the contours. The face is symmetrical and “V” shaped.
With ageing the “V” turns upside down
Regardless of how good our genes are, all types of skin eventually lose their tone. Proportions shift and volume reduces. Cheeks sink downwards, the chin goes limp and the face becomes broader towards the bottom. The result: the youthful “V” slowly turns upside down and our age becomes increasingly visible – regardless of how young we feel.
The age-induced lack of moisture and the slowing of cell renewal lead to a clear loss of elasticity, tone and suppleness. The result is deeper wrinkles, particularly around nose and mouth, and sometimes also on the chin. Cheekbones and cheeks are the areas most affected by the loss of volume. Also as our skin becomes less taut, the jawline begins to sag. Our hands can also give away our age as our veins and bones become increasingly visible on the back of the hand
The V effect is the key to restoring a youthful look. Instead of treating the individual wrinkles, the face needs real revolumising. With the right volume and the right proportion, the face will regain the optimum “V” shape, and the wrinkles and sagging will naturally reduce
The V Effect volume formation can be achieved with the dermal filler Radiesse. When Radiesse is injected into the skin the gel-matrix of calcium microspheres pushes up the contour deficits, providing a lifting effect and giving instant volume. And for even greater benefit, the calcium microspheres stimulate the production of your own natural collagen, which will further build the volume to achieve the V effect. The results can be seen for 12 months or longer in many people.

Is Radiesse safe to use ?

What areas can be treated with Radiesse ?
1. Eyebrow
Radiesse can lift your eyebrows to make your eyes appear open and fresh.

3. Cheekbone
Volume in the cheekbone strengthens the “V” shape of the face and shapes a youthful appearance.
4. Earlobe
Radiesse can help restore the fullness and smoothness of the earlobes.
5. Nasolabial folds
The folds between the nose and the corner of the mouth, also known as the “laugh lines”, are often the most noticeable lines. They can be filled out easily, giving you a fresher and younger look immediately.
6. Cheek/hollow cheek
With the V effect, lost volume in sunken cheeks can be replaced effectively.
7. Marionette lines
These are the lines that go from the corners of the mouth down to the jaw. With the marionette lines filled in by Radiesse, you will gain a cheerful expression.
8. Lower jawline
Defines contours on the lower jaw help to maintain the youthful “V”.
9. Bridge of the nose
Nasal imperfections can be reshaped and smoothed out with Radiesse without resorting to surgery.
10. Chin fold
A sunken chin fold can be filled in with Radiesse defining the base of the “V”.
11. Chin
Radiesse helps to achieve a natural expression, defining the jaw line.
12. Back of the hand
Veins and bones are more clearly visible with age. Retain a youthful appearance by plumping the back of the hands.
What is the treatment procedure?
Your practitioner will explain the treatment options available and discuss with you the best one for you. Typically one treatment session takes approximately 30 minutes. The effect will be visible immediately after injection.
What if I am taking medication?
Please inform your practitioner before treatment if you are taking medication, even if it is not a prescription medicine. Taking anticoagulants and painkillers including aspirin and some vitamins supplements can lead to unwanted bruising. Your practitioner will advise you accordingly.
Are there any side effects?
You may experience some reaction to the injections. There may be mild swelling, pain, itching, bruising or discolouration, and sensitivity to pain. However, this usually disappears after a few days. Please discuss this with your practitioner.
How long does the effect of Radiesse last?
Individual results are dependent on age, skin type, lifestyle and metabolism and, of course, the area treated. Generally the effect of the treatment lasts over a year for most patients.
Can Radiesse be combined with other products?
If a permanent filler has been injected beforehand, treatment with Radiesse is not recommended. Please inform your practitioner about any previous treatments you have had.
Can Radiesse be felt under the skin?
You will probably feel the material for a short time after treatment. Over time, the material is completely integrated and cannot be felt any more.
