Radiesse in San Diego

An Innovative Dermal Filler that Helps Stop Aging in its Tracks

As the skin ages, we see its deterioration manifested as wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, creases, and furrows that make us look tired and spent. Yet there is another sign of aging just as troublesome, and that is the decrease in facial volume that occurs as we advance in years.

The body’s reserves of collagen and elastin, two key proteins responsible for the skin’s suppleness, youthfulness, and resilience, begin to dwindle, causing a hollowness in the cheeks and other areas. Our Radiesse in San Diego treatment is an FDA-approved dermal filler that helps to reverse the most unwanted autographs of time while correcting the loss of volume that plagues the face and hands.

San Diego Radiesse clients should not be pregnant or nursing, and should be in good mental and physical health with no major medical issues.

How is Radiesse Formulated to Achieve its Stunning Results?

Radiesse relies on the power of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) molecules that are suspended in a gel-like substance. They work to hydrate the skin, while simultaneously helping to boost the body’s production of collagen.

What Does my Treatment Entail?

Your practitioner will use a finely gauged needle to administer your injections. This usually takes about 15 minutes, so you can be in and out of the office over your lunch break. Since our Radiesse in San Diego is formulated with Lidocaine, the injection is virtually painless for most clients.

What will my Recovery be Like?

You will see an immediate improvement in your skin’s tone and volume, however, the full effects of Radiesse will be most pronounced after 3 months’ time.

How Do I Get Started?

If you would like to learn more about whether our Radiesse in San Diego is the best treatment for your anti-aging needs, please contact our San Diego office to schedule a private consultation.

During your Radiesse visit, Dr. Karam will examine your skin, take note of your medical and cosmetic history, and answer any outstanding questions or concerns you may still have. He will cover important topics such as costs, insurance and financing; recovery and downtime; anesthesia; and of course your desired results.

Dr. Karam can provide you with access to our digest of before and after photos so that you can get a better idea of the results that former patients have achieved with Radiesse in San Diego.

The consultation is also a good time to discuss any other procedures of interest with Dr. Karam, such as a facelift, blepharoplasty, liposuction, or chemical peel. Combining treatments can sometimes be more cost-effective, or decrease your downtime, so don’t hesitate to ask.

Reviews

"I had a vertical restore at age 65 with Dr Amir Karam. It has been a little over a year and I am delighted with the results. Some of my friends have not even noticed - I just look rested. Dr Karam will provide you with all the information and supplements that you need to make the procedure and the recovery time as comfortable as possible. I usually bruise very easily but with the supplements that were given to me prior to my procedure and afterwards, my bruises were gone within a week."

"I highly recommend Dr. Karam and would go back to him for anything I might want done in the future. I totally trust his approach and recommendations. You won't be disappointed!"

"I'm one month out from a Vertical Restore with Dr Karam. Dr Karam is an incredibly talented Surgeon. I can barely see my scars already. I also did a laser peel, within 8 days I was wearing makeup and admiring my new jawline and neck. I'm 65 this month and so happy I chose him. He is the best there is. His staff are fun, caring and kind. They made my entire experience so easy. I would not hesitate or even think about going anywhere else. Check out his Instagram account. He does all his content himself. Extremely informative, with many before and after photos. I decided on Dr Karam after researching his Instagram and had made my decision before we had even met."

"Dr Karam is a great surgeon, a true artist and a wonderful human being. He has done 2 procedures on me over the last 3 years. Both with excellent results. His fat transfer and his lip lift technique are extraordinary. I wouldn't think of going to anyone else and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for the best."
