Radiesse in Chicago

Aging happens to us all, but it doesn’t have to affect how you feel about your appearance! If you’re bothered by your aging lines, it may be time to consider a rejuvenation, and RADIESSE® may be the answer for you.

RADIESSE® is a dermal filler that is injected into the skin to help erase moderate to severe facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds. RADIESSE® can help add volume to the skin in your face, as well as the skin on your hands. At MD Brothers Cosmetic Surgery and Aesthetic Medicine, our board-certified doctors specialize in delivering natural-looking results with this advanced injectable treatment.

How does it work?

RADIESSE® immediately restores volume to the skin upon injection with a fine needle. RADIESSE® is comprised of its main component, Calcium Hydroxylapatite microspheres. These microspheres help by adding volume to your skin upon injection and continue to do so as time progresses, making your skin look refreshed and youthful. RADIESSE® continuously supports your body’s collagen production, which is the main protein found in the structure of the skin.

Each patient’s skin type, among some other factors, will determine how long the results of the treatment will last. Typically, patients see instantaneous improvements for younger looking skin, with results lasting up to a year or even longer.

What to Expect During Treatment

Your RADIESSE® treatment at MD Brothers is a quick and straightforward procedure that can typically be completed in under 30 minutes. Before your injection, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for your comfort. Using a fine needle, your provider will carefully inject RADIESSE® into the targeted areas beneath your skin.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. The RADIESSE® formula contains lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which helps ensure a more comfortable treatment experience. After the injections are complete, you’ll be able to see immediate volume restoration and smoothing of wrinkles and folds.

Recovery & Results

One of the greatest advantages of RADIESSE® is that there is virtually no downtime required. You can return to your normal daily activities immediately following your treatment. Some patients may experience minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects typically resolve within a few days.

Results from RADIESSE® are visible immediately after treatment, and they continue to improve over the following weeks as your body produces new collagen. With proper skin care and sun protection, most patients enjoy their rejuvenated appearance for 12 months or longer. Touch-up treatments can help you maintain your youthful, refreshed look.
