Radiesse

Unlike other facial fillers, RADIESSE continues to work over time. With its patented microsphere technology, it starts a process called collagenesis, stimulating your body to produce new collagen and encouraging collagen to grow around the injection area. RADIESSE dermal filler actually helps your body create its own naturally younger look, setting a new standard in facial contouring and augmentation. The benefits of treatment with RADIESSE dermal filler may last up to a year or more.

Radiesse can be used to add volume to laugh lines, smile lines, upper and mid cheek tissues, and the chin. It can also be used to smooth minor nasal humps. Because it is slightly more viscous, it provides much more volume than thinner fillers such as Restylane or Juvederm. The treatment provides immediate results and can be performed in less than an hour. No skin testing is required.

As with all fillers, patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or bruising. You will be provided with an ice pack after your treatment to use the remainder of the day and asked not to manipulate the treated areas with your fingers. You may use your makeup and sunscreen immediately after treatment. (TOP)
