What Is Radiesse?
As we age, there is a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin in our skin tissues. This results in the formation of age signs such wrinkles and volume loss.
Radiesse is the first and only FDA-approved CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite) injectable that provides immediate and lasting skin-rejuvenation results. This dermal filler can treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds in the mid and lower facial areas. It is also suitable in restoring volume in the backs of the hands.
I was seen on time and the exam was very thorough – all my questions were answered. The doctor was very professional and attentive – the assistants were also very pleasant and helpful. Thank you.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse dermal filler is made up of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in an aqueous gel. It produces immediate visible effects, enhancing volume in the treatment area. Over time, Radiesse also stimulates the production of collagen. This results in longer-lasting skin-revitalization benefits.
Is Radiesse Right for Me?
Patients who experience signs of aging in their face and hands are ideal candidates for Radiesse treatment. Patients who are looking for non-surgical skin rejuvenation to treat moderate and harsh wrinkles are good candidates.
Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding are not recommended for this treatment. Radiesse treatment is also not advisable for patients with a history of severe allergies or skin reactions.
