ABOUT RADIESSE
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite-based dermal filler that not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production over time. It's often used to treat deeper wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, and to add volume to areas like the cheeks and hands.
Radiesse works by injecting tiny calcium microspheres into the skin, which provide immediate volume and structure. Over time, these microspheres stimulate collagen production, which helps to maintain the results long after the initial volume has been absorbed by the body.
UNIQUE COMPOSITION
Calcium hydroxylapatite, or CaHA, is what makes Radiesse unique as a dermal filler treatment.
IMMEDIATE + LONG-TERM REJUVENATION
Upon injection, the CaHA gel matrix provides immediate improvement. Long term, CaHA particles form a “scaffold” that stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen for up to a year and elastin for up to nine months.
RENEWED SKIN STRUCTURE
As the gel carrier breaks down, a firm network of collagen fibers form. Then, the formed collagen and elastin replaces the correction provided by the gel carrier, smoothing lines and promoting renewed skin structure.
Getting ready for your Radiesse Appointment
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR RADIESSE APPOINTMENT
