Radiesse®

FDA-approved Radiesse® is a non-surgical treatment, performed as a simple injection during an office visit to Vitality Medispa and Wellness Center here in Seattle. A numbing, or anesthetic agent, may be applied to the area, after which Radiance will be injected with a very fine needle designed for cosmetic purposes.

What is Radiesse?

As Radiesse® is gently injected, it builds up the tissues of the face, reducing folds and creases and restoring fullness. It does not paralyze or act on the face's muscles. Enhancement with Radiesse is relatively painless, and any minor swelling from the injection typically disappears within 24 hours. You can comfortably return to normal activities after your treatment. Best of all, you'll see results immediately and can expect to enjoy them for up to three or more years.

The formation of lines and creases on the face are a natural part of living, not just aging. They occur when the underlying tissues begin to break down. They also result from years of smiling, frowning, squinting or smoking. In other words, these marks of maturity are inevitable. But their permanence need not be. Now you can dramatically minimize lines and creases and restore vitality to your face with Radiesse.

Radiesse is ideal for these facial areas

• Lines between the nose and mouth, between eyebrows and on the upper lip.
• The so-called "smile lines" and "frown lines."
• Depressions and blemishes like acne scars.
• Shallow cheeks.
