Radiesse treatments are minimally invasive, non-surgical procedures that can provide natural-looking and long lasting results for facial wrinkles and folds. The treatment is quick, simple, and safe, with minimal discomfort or downtime for the patient.

The Radiesse dermal filler uses a combination of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) particles suspended in a gel carrier to create an immediate improvement to the area being treated. These CaHA particles integrate into the skin and provide a framework that encourages natural collagen production to improve skin structure. As the gel carrier breaks down, it is replaced by collagen fibers that help restore volume and reduce wrinkles.

In addition to smoothing facial wrinkles and folds, Radiesse can also be used to correct volume loss in the back of hands due to aging. Studies have shown that results can last up to 18 months or longer with a single treatment session. Side effects are typically mild and may include temporary redness, bruising, tenderness at injection sites, swelling, itching, discoloration or small bumps in rare cases. However these effects should subside within 2 weeks after treatment.

Radiesse provides a perfect option for those looking for longer lasting results compared to traditional fillers without having to undergo more invasive surgical procedures such as a facelift or brow lift. With its natural looking outcome, this dermal filler helps patients look younger with minimal discomfort or downtime required afterwards.
