What is Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a volumizing dermal filler that is used to fill out deep wrinkles and lines around the nose and mouth, and add contours to areas of the face that have lost their shape, such as the cheeks and jaw line. This filler-like substance is injected deep into the skin to give volume to deep wrinkles and other areas that have lost significant volume.
How does Radiesse®work ?
Radiesse® is unlike most other dermal fillers in that it is made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA), a natural compound found throughout the body. Radiesse® works by stimulating natural collagen production, which provides the skin with the support and lift it needs to reduce lines and wrinkles.
Once injected, Radiesse® provides immediate volume correction, but its most potent effect develops over time.
Over time, the carrier gel in Radiesse® is absorbed, leaving just the tiny CaHA particles. Collagen forms around each sphere, increasing the volume of the targeted area.
