Radiesse

Radiesse is a cosmetic filler used in the treatment of deep lines and wrinkles around the nose and mouth – including smile lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds. It is also useful in the treatment of facial lipoatrophy (a stigmatizing effect of HIV), vocal cord deficiencies, oral and maxillofacial defects, as well as scars and chin dimples.

Radiesse Wrinkle Reduction Procedure

Radiesse cosmetic filler consists of small microspheres made of calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance naturally found in the body, suspended in a gel-like solution. No animals or animal products are used during its production, and no skin testing is needed. A small needle is used to implant the Radiesse into the deep dermis. Topical and/or local anesthetic is used for pain control during injections. For the first three months after Radiesse treatment, it acts as a cosmetic filler, plumping up the skin and diminishing age lines. Then, the Radiesse microspheres stimulate natural collagen growth, actually causing new tissue development for extended results (up to two years).
