While most people don't mind getting older, few want any visual reminders of their age, such as wrinkles or saggy skin, to show. Long Island plastic surgeon Dr. Mark D. Epstein sits down to share his views on the well-known injectable wrinkle filler, Radiesse.

"Radiesse is primarily used for treating problem areas on the face, but it can be used on other parts of the body as well," says Dr. Epstein, "It is FDA-approved, and it is very effective in reducing the appearance of smile lines, wrinkles and folds. Radiesse restores volume to the face, giving my patients a fuller, brighter look."

There are many advantages to using the Radiesse over similar treatments. Radiesse is unique among injectable fillers, since it is made up of calcium hydroxylapatite, which is commonly found in the teeth and bones of the human body, Dr. Epstein explains. This substance fuels the natural creation of collagen in our skin, which in turn leads to the skin looking tighter, younger, and smoother. "My patients love the fact that Radiesse actually helps their skin revitalize itself in a natural way."

During treatment, Radiesse is injected to the targeted area with a small needle. The procedure is done in a doctor's office under local anesthesia, and is usually completed within 10 minutes. One of the greatest advantage to Radiesse is that just one treatment lasts a year, or longer, according to Dr. Epstein. The treatment is quick, but patients see results immediately. Oftentimes, patients request a second treatment so that they can extend their results even further.

Although minimal, there are a few side-effects to the procedure. Some patients may experience irritation or bruising at the site of the injection. However, Dr. Epstein notes that these side-effects are normally very mild, and disappear on their own within days. Most patients who receive an injection are able to resume normal activities almost immediately.

"My patients love the final outcome of the Radiesse treatment," says Dr. Epstein, "The process is nearly painless, and the results are very natural-looking, as well as long-lasting. I hope that any interested patient will seek a consultation."
