radiesseWhat Is Radiesse Fillers?

Although Radiesse is an established soft tissue filler, Dr. Kessler limits its use to the back of the hands. Youthful fullness is restored while camouflaging the prominent veins and tendons which become more obvious with age.

Like the face, our hands are constantly exposed to the environment and demonstrate our age more so than other parts of the body. Maintaining a youthful appearance of the face is often betrayed when the same care and attention is not given to the hands.

How Radiesse Fillers are Used?

Radiesse, is comprised of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) which is the main mineral present in our bones, these mineral microspheres are suspended in a cellulose gel, which is gradually absorbed by the body over time. The CaHA in Radiesse is similar to minerals found naturally in the body, so allergy testing is not required.

Patients who are in generally good health with realistic expectations about the benefits that fillers offer are good candidates for the treatment of hand volume loss.

The in-office procedure takes approximately 20 minutes for Dr. Kessler to perform, depending on the extent of correction desired. The local anesthetic lidocaine is added to the product prior to injection. This coupled with Dr. Kessler’s advanced injection technique, makes the non-invasive procedure virtually painless.

Radiesse Fillers Results

The results following the injection are noticeable right away and may last for up to a year or more before additional injections are needed for maintenance. Individuals who receive Radiesse treatments may return to work immediately.

Strenuous activities, such as exercise, should be avoided for the first 24 to 48 hours to prevent contour irregularities. Minor complications that can arise include redness and some swelling of the treatment site. Bruising is always a possibility but is not common. Such side effects are temporary and resolve shortly after the procedure.

Patient Testimonial

I’ve been going to Dr. Kessler for over 5 years and have *always* had incredible results. He is more than a plastic surgeon, he is an artist in his craft. Always taking his time to discuss every option, answer any questions, and has outstanding follow-up and bedside manner. I would recommend him to anyone, whether it’s for fillers, or Botox, or a surgical procedure. He is just a terrific person and so gifted at what he does.
