Radiesse Treatments

Before getting Radiesse injections, it is vital that you discuss with Dr. Quang P. Le if you are taking blood thinners that can impede the clotting of blood, such as aspirin or warfarin. These medications will put you at high risk for bruising or bleeding at the injection site.

Prior to Radiesse treatment, you must also inform Dr. Le if you have any diseases or hand trauma. During your consultation, Dr. Le will impart information about the procedure and common adverse effects. Proper aftercare and the expected outcome will also be discussed.

Dr. Le will ascertain your injection sites and then apply an antiseptic solution to prevent infection. Your Radiesse dosage will be decided by Dr. Le, and then the injections will be administered. Dr. Le will inject Radiesse using local anesthesia, numbing the sites to any pain. Radiesse treatment usually takes 15 minutes, depending on how many injections you need.

No recovery time is needed after a Radiesse injection session, so patients can immediately return to their daily schedules. Best results from Radiesse come within a short span of time. Minor swelling and bruising may appear after Radiesse injections, and it typically takes up to two weeks for any swelling or bruising to subside.

The price of Radiesse can vary depending on the number of injections you need. Dr. Le will determine the number of injections based on how many areas of your face need to be treated and the extent of volume loss in your hands. Financing through CareCredit is available to aid in covering the cost of the treatment.
