Radiesse®

Post-Care Guide

First 24 Hours After

  • An ice pack or cold pack will help reduce any common swelling. Apply a cloth-wrapped cold pack to the treated area for 15 minutes, three times a day. NEVER apply ice directly to skin and avoid firm pressure.

  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours to reduce bruising.

  • You may take Acetaminophen/Tylenol if you experience any mild tenderness or discomfort

24 Hours +

  • After your treatment there will be moderate swelling and redness with the possibility of bruising. These symptoms will resolve in about 7-10 days.

  • Excessive sunlight and UV lamp exposure should be avoided until any initial swelling and redness go away.

  • A few days post-treatment you will look the same as you did before the treatment. This is because the water that was injected will be absorbed, leaving the Radiesse® behind to stimulate your own collagen to grow.
