Radiesse

Uses:

  • Correction of lines around the mouth
  • Correction of nasolabial folds and around the eyes
  • Filler for depressed scars

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler made of calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel, and is injected into the skin through a simple and minimally invasive procedure. Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a biocompatible molecule that has been used in medicine for more than twenty years. The calcium hydroxylapatite particles form a scaffold through which your body’s own collagen grows.

Upon injection, Radiesse immediately adds volume to safely contour, correct, and beautify facial features. But unlike many other fillers which only add volume until they start to break down, Radeisse stimulates your body to produce new collagen in the treated areas which results in longer lasting natural results. At one year, patients preferred Radiesse two-to-one, compared to the other dermal filler for correction of nasolabial folds.

We train providers all over the U.S. and Canada on the best ways to administer filler.  This helps assure you of a gentle, consistent and effective procedure.  Two weeks after your first treatment you will follow-up with your provider to guarantee you are happy with the results.
