Radiesse

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler used to smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and folds, such as smile lines (nasolabial folds) and marionette lines, and to restore lost volume in the backs of the hands. Unlike most hyaluronic acid fillers, which only add volume, Radiesse is a "biostimulating" filler. It is made of tiny calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. The gel provides immediate lift and structure, and over time your body absorbs it while the CaHA microspheres act as a scaffold that stimulates your own natural collagen production. This dual-action mechanism delivers both instant results and a firmer, more youthful foundation that continues to improve. The results from Radiesse can last a year or more for many patients.

Long-Lasting Results:

Radiesse provides results that last a year or more for many patients, longer than most hyaluronic acid fillers.

Stimulates Natural Collagen:

It works as a biostimulator, with tiny calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres creating a scaffold that encourages your body's own natural collagen to grow, leading to sustained improvement.

Rejuvenates the Hands:

Radiesse is FDA-approved to correct volume loss in the backs of the hands, softening the look of visible veins and tendons for a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Provides Immediate and Progressive Results:

The gel provides an immediate lift and volume, while the CaHA microspheres work over time to stimulate new collagen, leading to a gradual and continuous enhancement.

Adds Structure and Definition:

Because Radiesse is firmer than most fillers, it is ideal for deep folds and for contouring areas like the jawline that need support, not just volume.

Proven Safety Profile:

Calcium hydroxylapatite has a long history of safe use in medicine, and Radiesse is FDA-approved for its specific uses, with a high patient satisfaction rate.
