Radiesse

Radiesse is a Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel filler that is used to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds safely and successfully to restore and maintain the subtle contours that define youth. It is the first and only FDA-approved CaHA filler that provides immediate natural – looking results and long-term improvement in the face and hands.

Radiesse instantly provides volume and contouring to help smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds and restore plumpness; and integrates into the skin to create a scaffold that stimulates collagen and elastin. As the gel breaks down new collagen and elastin form smoothing lines and promoting renewed skin structure. Results visible immediately but full effects can take a week.

• Mid-face volume loss
• Deep smile lines called nasolabial folds create a tired, aged appearance
• The corners of the mouth turn downturned creating an angry and unpleasant appearance
• Marionette lines from the corners of the mouth to the chin can make you appear to be scowling
• Prejowl folds on both sides of the chin form as volume is lost and the skin sags along the jawline
• Chin wrinkles distract from your smile and age you
• Skeletal or veiny hands expose veins and bones

Radiesse is injected under the skin in a quick office procedure using fine needs. It can be done over the lunch hour because there is no downtime. Results are immediately visible. Side effects may include bruising, swelling, redness, itching and discomfort at the injection sites. These usually resolve within hours or days. Effects may last up to 24 months, depending on your metabolism and the areas treated.
