“The notion of an injection that is instant, safe and biocompatible is a huge draw, and was the reason I chose Radiesse.”
David H.
San Francisco, CA
Actual Radiesse Patient
David was facing a BIG birthday…one that ended in a ZERO… and he decided it was time to get himself a present. He had heard about Radiesse®, and the biggest draw was the safety and biocompatibility of the product. The second deciding factor was the long-lasting, but non-permanent nature of the product. “I thought, if it doesn’t work, then I don’t have to live with it forever.” The San Francisco, CA resident had a slight advantage walking into the doctor’s office: as an Allied Healthcare professional, he knew most of the answers to typical questions. After a brief consultation, David chose to treat his deepening Nasolabial Folds with Radiesse. As the procedure was administered, a friend who came to the visit with David remarked, “There went 5 years…maybe 8,” as each nasolabial fold was treated.
“I immediately noticed that I didn’t have that lined expression around my mouth. It made me look younger, right away,” he said. David experienced minor swelling that he estimates resolved within a few hours. He jumped right back into his daily routine after the injection, including enjoying a sandwich at lunch a couple of hours later.
“I get a lot of ‘you look so rested’ or ‘you look so healthy’,” said David of people’s reaction. Radiesse provided David with an immediate correction that is long lasting, and results that David is as happy with now as he was immediately after his treatment. “I have friends who were treated with other products and have had to go back time and time again for touch-ups. In fact, I am so happy with my result, I have recommended Radiesse to friends, and two have already had injections based on my recommendation!” So would he do it again? He jokes that he won’t need treatments any time soon. But, should the time come again to address a deepening facial line, he is confident Radiesse will be his choice. “At first, I really struggled with the notion of doing ANYTHING, but then I thought, I cut my hair, people whiten their teeth, what is the difference? I did this strictly as a present to myself. And believe me, when it’s time to get myself another present, I’d do it again!”
