Radiesse

This filler, which is made of calcium-based microspheres, works as a bio-stimulator for long-lasting correction and smoothing.

The world-renowned dermatologists at Cosmetic Laser Dermatology are proud to announce that we have been named the only “Radiesse Hands Center of Excellence in San Diego!” Our expert injectors have such extensive experience and expertise in administering Radiesse for younger, smoother looking hands that Merz, the makers of Radiesse, have honored our team with this distinction.

At Cosmetic Laser Dermatology, our dermatologists are world-renowned injectors of dermal fillers with an unparalleled level of expertise, and we perform Radiesse treatments ourselves, instead of having a nurse or assistant do it.

Led by the esteemed cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Mitchel Goldman, the doctors at Cosmetic Laser Derm offer only the highest-quality hand injection treatments with the best patient care available in San Diego.

Treatment Guidelines

During your procedure:

• An assessment will be made by your physician to determine the amount of product
  needed.
• Multiple injections will be administered to treated areas.
• Radiesse contains lidocaine; however, some physicians may decide to use a topical
  numbing agent or local anesthesia injections prior to treatment.
• You may have a very small amount of pinpoint bleeding where the needle was
  inserted. This usually subsides in a few minutes.

After your procedure:

• You may use your regular skincare products and make-up.
• You may feel some soreness around treated areas. Ice packs may be used to ease
  tenderness and swelling and you can take Tylenol for any discomfort.
• Immediately after the treatment, you will experience swelling which can last up to 3 – 7
  days.
• You may feel lumps where the filler was injected, which is typically related to swelling
  and will subside in about 3 – 7 days.
• Results are immediate but due to the swelling, the expected end result can be seen
  between 7 – 10 days.
• Do NOT manipulate, rub, massage, apply pressure, etc. to treated areas or lay face
  down after treatment.
• You may get a bruise from the injections. If so, you are welcome to come into the office
  the following day and have the bruise(s) treated with a laser to assist in clearing up the
  bruise, at no charge.
• You may also take Arnica pills before and/or after the treatment to decrease risk of
  bruising and to help any bruises you have to subside faster. We have Arnica available
  for purchase.
• It is always a possibility that you may not get the desired result after one treatment.
  Additional treatments may be necessary to achieve optimal desired results.
• Follow any additional specific post-treatment instructions from your physician.
• Follow up with your physician in ______ days/weeks, or as needed.Please contact our office if you have any questions or concerns at (858) 657-1002
