About Radiesse

Radiesse is a biodegradable dermal filler that helps stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the body. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa) and is a naturally occurring mineral found in the body that can also help restructure and revitalize the skin. (2)

Radiesse is FDA-approved to help treat many different areas, and it is often used in non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lifts to provide impactful enhancements. Procedures involving Radiesse are characterized by fast-acting effects, with consistent improvement over time. (3)

Benefits

There are many benefits to a Radiesse-based, non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. The non-surgical BBL stimulates the body to produce collagen, creating a more natural-looking result. The procedure is minimally-invasive and results can last for up to two years. (3) While surgical BBLs do yield longer-lasting, more immediate results, they do require an extensive recovery period and surgical scars. The Radiesse BBL allows patients to enhance their curves with no downtime and none of the risks associated with anesthesia.

Candidates for a Radiesse BBL

Candidates interested in a non-surgical BBL are typically looking for a non-surgical and minimally-invasive procedure that will still deliver impactful results. Those interested in a Radiesse BBL might also be looking for a more subtle or natural-looking volume enhancement as an alternative to the more dramatic BBL. Patients with cellulite can also benefit from a Radiesse BBL, as the treatment can potentially lessen the uneven appearance of the skin.

All candidates interested in a non-surgical BBL should be in good health without any underlying conditions that may disrupt the healing process. Patients who smoke are expected to refrain from smoking prior to the procedure until fully recovered.

How to Prepare for a Non-surgical BBL

Prior to each appointment, patients will be provided with a set of preparation instructions at their personal consultation. Patients should make an effort to stay hydrated leading up to the appointment and maintain a healthy and nutritious diet. Leading up to their procedure, some patients may be asked to refrain from using certain medications or supplements that may thin the blood. Patients should also avoid alcohol consumption before their procedure to minimize the risk of bruising.

Patients who smoke should stop smoking a few weeks prior to their non-surgical BBL and refrain from smoking until approved by their professional. The day before the procedure, patients should avoid using products on the treatment area.

Procedure

At the beginning of the procedure, we will use a topical anesthetic to help maximize the patient’s comfort. After the anesthetic has taken effect, your True You professional will carefully inject the Radiesse, carefully layering it to recontour the buttocks to the desired shape and volume. After the Radiesse has been injected, your injector gently massages the area to evenly distribute the filler and ensure there are no lumps. The entire procedure can last 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the conditions being treated and the desired outcome of the procedure.

After Your Treatment

Immediately following the procedure, many patients experience slight redness or bruising at the treatment area, however this subsides within about a day. Patients should avoid strenuous physical activities that might affect the buttocks area. After 1-2 weeks, any redness or soreness should subside completely. Radiesse provides immediate results. Patients will be able to see continued improvement in the following weeks after treatment as the collagen production increases. Full results are typically visible after several weeks.

Unlike the surgical BBL, the Radiesse BBL does not require an extensive recovery. This is a great option for patients who are seeking body contouring results without an uncomfortable recovery period that requires them to take time off work.

Corresponding and Complementary Procedures

A non-surgical Brazilian Butt Lift may be combined with other treatments such as other skin tightening treatments. Whether or not combining a treatment is right for you can depend on your health condition, health history, and desired outcome of the treatment. No matter what conditions you are looking to treat, our team can determine the best strategies and methods to help you achieve your dream figure.
