Radiesse in Phoenix, AZ

What is Radiesse®?

Radiesse® is an injectable dermal filler that softens lines and creases by increasing the collagen in your skin. Collagen is a natural substance that provides your skin with an underlying support structure that prevents lines and wrinkles. As we get older, collagen and elastin production decreases, and our skin loses the crucial collagen network. Over time, the skin essentially “collapses,” and the result is lines, wrinkles, and creases. Radiesse is a facial filler ideal for building collagen and elastin to treat severe facial wrinkles, sun exposure, and facial fat loss for a more youthful appearance.

How Much Does Radiesse® Cost in Phoenix?

Injectable fillers such as hyaluronic acid fillers or calcium hydroxylapatite fillers like Radiesse® are elective treatments, so the procedure is not covered by medical insurance. Arizona Facial Plastics, PC, accepts several forms of payment, including cash, check, and major credit card. If you are interested in financing, you can apply through CareCredit®.

Meet Our Experts

Dr. Farhan Taghizadeh,

We pride ourselves on offering the latest cosmetic technologies and procedures. I am constantly in contact with some of the biggest aesthetic companies in the country to find out what new devices are coming out so that we can help you look your best. I have extensive cosmetic surgery training, and I have performed over 3,500 facelifts. My goal is to meet you where you are – whether you are noticing sun damage or are tired of looking 15 years older than you feel-together we can find a way to bring that spark back to your life!I completed my ENT training at the University of Rochester in 2004. To further deepen my understanding of the face, I did a facial plastic surgery fellowship in Switzerland (where I also developed a love of chocolate!). These experiences gave me an in-depth understanding of head and neck structures, an understanding that I use and refine every day to help you achieve the outcome you seek.

What Can I Expect from Radiesse®?

The gel formulation of Radiesse® contains tiny microspheres that work as an underlying structure in the deep layers of skin where severe creases and wrinkles originate. The product is administered with a very fine needle that is tolerable by most patients, but the depth of the injections may cause some discomfort. The gel does contain lidocaine to enhance patient comfort, and Dr. Taghizadeh may also apply a numbing cream to your skin.

How Radiesse® Differ from Other Types of Injectable Fillers?

The primary difference between Radiesse® and other injectable fillers is that Radiesse® is specifically designed to treat severe wrinkles and creases. With Radiesse®, patients with more advanced signs of aging have an alternative to cosmetic surgery to look and feel younger.

Recovery from Radiesse®

The treatment area may feel tender, and you may also have some minor bruising and swelling. These symptoms can be managed with ice packs and non-prescription pain medications. After 48 to 72 hours, the symptoms should be fully resolved.

Where Can Radiesse® Be Applied?

Dr. Taghizadeh recommends Radiesse® for treating:

• Nasolabial folds
• Frown lines
• Marionette lines

Will Everyone Benefit from Radiesse®?

Clinical studies have shown that Radiesse® is a safe and effective alternative to surgery. Based on his expertise with cosmetic treatments and injectable fillers, Dr. Taghizadeh may recommend another product to achieve the desired results.
