Anti aging Cosmetic Surgery with Radiesse

A Natural Look that Lasts

I have reviewed a few other wrinkle fillers including Restylane, Artecoll, Juvederm and Botox and found one of the best cosmetic dermal fillers for anti aging your wrinkles and deep folds in the skin is Radiesse. I’ve done the research, spoken to the various companies that make these cosmetic wrinkle fillers and with women and men who have actually had the work done.

I was speaking with my anti-aging specialist, a medical doctor and a bioidentical hormone expert and I asked her if she uses any cosmetic filler herself. She confirmed that she used “everything” and specifically used Botox for around the eyes and forehead and a filler called Radiesse for her nasal labial folds. She looks fabulous. I asked her why she uses Radiesse and she said it is because it is the longest lasting filler and therefore becomes the cheapest. Radiesse can last up to a year or more and I am considering, for the first time, actually getting it done myself.

What to Expect from Radiesse

Cosmetic surgery for the face done with Radiesse is a budget conscious decision. As far as cosmetic fillers go, it does the job of filling deep folds in the skin which come as a result of aging and the reduction of collagen and elastin within the skin. The best thing about Radiesse is that it is long lasting. This makes it great for your budget. Instead of having to go and get cosmetic surgery each four to six months, you can have this done once a year or even up to once every two years. The end result is natural and reduces the look of tiredness in your face.

Radiesse can be used for nasal labial folds, augmenting the cheek bones, jaw line contouring, tear troughs, marionette lines and filling up old scars such as acne scars. It is advertised as a “next generation in longer lasting wrinkle correction.” As a dermal filler, it’s one of the best.

What is Radiesse made of?

Radiesse has been approved by the health agencies in North America and Europe (FDA approval) and is a safe treatment for the correction of wrinkles and folds.

It is made of calcium based microspheres in a natural gel and is injected into the problem areas. These microspheres work with your body and help support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. They eventually break down and are naturally absorbed into the body. The results are immediate and last anywhere from one to two years. It is safe and has been clinically tested over many years. Over 4000 doctors have received training with Radiesse dermal filler application.

How is Radiesse used?


Radiesse is injected into the problem sites under the skin. It is used with a local anesthetic to numb the pain of injection which is like a small pin prick. An ice pack is applied immediately after to reduce numbness and swelling. Your doctor may massage the areas after injection to ensure even correction. You could have some side effects such as mild irritation, itching, bruising, swelling or tenderness at the injection site, but most of these side effects are rare.

It can be done in a lunch hour, but maybe take the day off to admire your new younger looking skin. There may be“firmness” to the injection site, but this will dissipate in the days that follow. Avoid aggressive washing or rubbing immediately after having the Radiesse dermal filler done.

As an anti aging tip for best dermal fillers, Radiesse is one of the best choices because of its safety and lasting qualities.

Anti-Aging - Restylane - Cosmetic Filler

Continuing on my articles about the best antiaging cosmetic fillers, Restylane is a filler used for lips, wrinkles and facial contours such as the nasal labial fold. A Swedish company called Q-Med, a company that develops, produces and markets medical implants manufactures Restylane. It is approved for use as a cosmetic filler by both the FDA in the U.S. and Health Canada

Restylane is used to make lips fuller, fills in deep folds in the face and smoothes wrinkles. It is made from stabilized hyaluronic acid. Restylane creates a soft natural look by filling out volume and smoothing wrinkles.The benefits of Restylane is that it produces natural and longer lasting results. Although the results are not permanent, they last a long time – about six to eight months. This is based on individual factors which, include facial muscle activity, life style and type of skin.


Restylane is safe to use. It is used in over 60 countries worldwide by millions of people. Hyaluronic acid, its chief ingredient is non animal, which makes it safe because there is no opportunity to transfer disease or cause allergic reaction in patients with such sensitivities as allergies to eggs, chicken or beef. The Restylane substance is both biodegradable and stabilized .. It is made under the most stringent sterilized conditions by a patented process in the labs of Q-Med. Hyaluronic acid is a substance which is identical in all species and tissue types.

Restylane is injected in very small amounts into the skin area that requires it. The gel binds to water and is absorbed slowly. In this way, it maintains the results. After about six to eight months you will need to have more Restylane injects to maintain the results. Side effects to Restylane injections include: discoloration and tenderness at the site of injection, redness, swelling, itching, and perhaps slight pain. Unless you require it, it is not necessary to have local anesthetic. Only about one in 2000 people may have sensitivity reactions which can start a day or two after the injection.


Consult with an experienced doctor about Restylane injections and cosmetic surgery. to find out if Restylane will work for you. As far as natural antiaging tips go, the cosmetic filler Restylane is made from hyaluronic acid which is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Cosmetic wrinkle fillers are not totally natural, but sometimes we need a little extra help fighting the hands of time.
