about Radiesse
Radiesse is a unique biostimulatory filler designed to provide a rejuvenating lifting effect without surgery. This popular dual-action treatment not only offers immediate volume and contouring but also works to stimulate your body’s own collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation. The key ingredient in Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. When injected, these microspheres provide instant volume and lift, filling in lines and wrinkles. Over time, the body absorbs the gel, but the CaHA particles remain to stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin, the essential proteins for skin strength and elasticity.
This powerful combination ensures both immediate plumping effects and a sustained improvement in skin texture and firmness. Radiesse is ideal for treating volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles on the face, as well as on other areas like veiny hands. With the added comfort of an anesthetic, the treatment is a safe, effective, and non-permanent way to achieve a youthful and natural-looking result.
