Radiesse

During treatments, you will not experience any pain, pinching, snapping, or heat. You will experience a cooling sensation during treatment. Hair will become thinner and lighter as treatments continue. The goal is to see an 80% reduction in hair growth within 5-6 sessions. 

Hair growth will reduce by 20-30% after the first session. The following sessions will yield a lesser percentage in reduction than the previous treatment. Thus requiring multiple treatments to reach an ideal reduction of 80%.

Overtime the cells damaged in the hair follicle will regenerate. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 6 months to 1 year to prolong results. 

Small treatment areas like underarms or upper lip take minutes. Larger treatment areas such as legs will take an average of 1-2 hours. The amount of time depends on the size of the treatment area.

Those with thicker, dark hair typically requires 1 or 2 sessions less than those with thinner, blonde hair. It usually varies from person to person, but the average is 5 sessions to achieve an 80% reduction in hair growth. Sessions are done in intervals dependent on the hair being in it’s anagen phase of growth. Face treatments are spaced 2-4 weeks, mid-section & arms 4-6 weeks, and lower body 6-8 weeks. 

Yes, there are a few limitations. After treatment it is much advised to avoid excessive heat and sweating for 24-48 hours, avoid shaving for at least 3 days, and limit sun exposure to the treatment area for 2 weeks. This is all to prevent irritation and inflammation.
