Volume loss changes the way your face tells your story. Radiesse at My Aesthetic Doctor in Larchmont restores structure and definition to cheeks, jawline, and hands, while stimulating your own collagen for results that improve over time.
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) dermal filler approved by the FDA for volume restoration and facial contouring. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse uses biocompatible calcium microspheres suspended in a gel carrier to provide immediate structural volume while triggering the body's natural collagen production over the following 3-12 months.
Dr. Fakhre injects Radiesse beneath the skin's surface to rebuild lost volume in targeted facial zones. The calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres create an immediate scaffolding effect. My Aesthetic Doctor uses this dual-action filler to address mid-face volume loss, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and hand rejuvenation.
Over time, the body absorbs the gel carrier and replaces it with newly formed collagen. This biostimulatory mechanism means Radiesse patients at our Larchmont office often see continued improvement for months after their initial treatment.
My Aesthetic Doctor uses Radiesse to restore and contour these areas:
Radiesse provides both immediate volume correction and long-term collagen stimulation. This biostimulatory property distinguishes it from pure hyaluronic acid fillers. Dr. Fakhre recommends Radiesse for patients who want structural support that lasts 12-18 months, depending on the treatment area and individual metabolism.
The mid-face is where volume loss is most visible and most impactful on how rested the face looks. Dr. Fakhre places Radiesse deep along the cheekbone and submalar region to rebuild structural projection. The CaHA microspheres scaffold the area immediately and trigger collagen formation that continues refining the contour over the following months.
A blurred jawline and aging hands give away time in different ways but share the same fix at My Aesthetic Doctor. Along the jaw, Radiesse adds bony projection and sharpens the mandibular angle. On the dorsum of the hands, the same product restores volume that softens visible tendons and veins, addressing two of the most common giveaway zones with one biostimulator.
Most patients see visible volume restoration immediately after their Radiesse session at My Aesthetic Doctor. The collagen-stimulating effect then builds gradually, creating results that look increasingly natural over the following weeks. This dual timeline gives patients both instant gratification and lasting improvement.
Radiesse typically lasts 12-18 months in facial areas. For hand rejuvenation, many patients maintain results for up to a year. My Aesthetic Doctor patients value the extended duration because it means fewer office visits and sustained confidence between appointments.
Calcium hydroxylapatite integrates with existing facial tissue more rigidly than hyaluronic acid, making Radiesse ideal for structural contouring. Dr. Fakhre uses precise injection techniques to rebuild cheekbone projection and jawline definition that looks natural, never overfilled.
Beyond the immediate volume, Radiesse acts as a biostimulator. The CaHA microspheres signal fibroblasts to lay down new collagen across the treated zone, so the area continues to firm and refine for months after the syringe is empty. This is why My Aesthetic Doctor patients often look better at month three than they did on treatment day.
Your Radiesse journey at My Aesthetic Doctor begins with a full-face assessment. Dr. Fakhre evaluates your facial anatomy, discusses your aesthetic goals, and determines whether Radiesse or another filler best addresses your concerns. This consultation considers your long-term treatment plan, not just the immediate visit.
Dr. Fakhre cleanses the treatment area and applies topical numbing cream if needed. Radiesse contains built-in lidocaine for patient comfort during injection. My Aesthetic Doctor prepares precise injection volumes based on the treatment plan discussed during your consultation.
Using advanced injection techniques, Dr. Fakhre places Radiesse at the optimal tissue depth for each treatment zone. Cheek augmentation may require deeper placement than nasolabial fold correction. The entire injection process typically takes 15-30 minutes depending on the number of areas treated.
After injection, Dr. Fakhre evaluates the results and makes any final adjustments. My Aesthetic Doctor provides detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, though mild swelling or bruising may occur for 2-5 days.
You will see volume improvement right after your Radiesse treatment. Mild swelling may temporarily amplify the effect for the first 48 hours. My Aesthetic Doctor advises patients that final results become visible once initial swelling subsides, typically within one week.
The collagen stimulating effect of Radiesse continues working for 3-12 months after injection. Many patients at our Larchmont office report that their results actually look better at the 3-month mark than immediately after treatment. Dr. Fakhre schedules follow up appointments to monitor your progress.
Radiesse results last 12-18 months in most facial areas. My Aesthetic Doctor recommends planning a maintenance appointment before results fully diminish. This proactive approach preserves the collagen foundation built by previous treatments.
Radiesse typically lasts 12-18 months in facial treatment areas. Hand rejuvenation results may last approximately 12 months. Individual results vary based on metabolism, treatment area, and the amount of filler used. My Aesthetic Doctor monitors your results and recommends maintenance timing.
Radiesse contains built-in lidocaine to minimize discomfort during injection. Dr. Fakhre also offers topical numbing cream before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than sharp pain.
Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that provide structural volume and stimulate collagen production. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide softer volume and can be dissolved if needed. My Aesthetic Doctor offers both options and helps you choose during your consultation.
Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse cannot be dissolved with an enzyme injection. This is why Dr. Fakhre takes a conservative approach, building volume gradually. The filler naturally metabolizes over 12-18 months.
Radiesse pricing depends on the treatment areas and volume required. My Aesthetic Doctor provides exact pricing during your consultation after Dr. Fakhre assesses your needs and creates a personalized treatment plan.
