Radiesse
Radiesse(r) is a safe, next generation cosmetic dermal filler that lasts longer than the former leading filler. It is setting a new standard for the correction of facial lines and wrinkles, restoring a natural, youthful look in an easy, convenient treatment. Numerous medical studies have shown that Radiesse is a safe, longer lasting treatment to fill and correct smile lines, Nasalabial Folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse(r) dermal filler is made of unique, patented, calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel carrier. When injected into the skin, these microspheres initially perform as a filler – they immediately provide facial volume for a soft, natural look. The transformation is noticeable right away. Over time, your body will gradually absorb the gel carrier, but the very tiny, smooth, microspheres remain.
When will I see results?
The results of a Radiesse(r) treatment are immediate. Radiesse(r) dermal filler typically lasts a year or more, longer than the former leading filler, saving you time and money. Since results may vary, be sure to discuss your expectations with your experienced Radiesse(r) provider.
Is Radiesse safe?
Rigorous clinical testing published in peer-reviewed medical journals, along with independent physician studies, have proven that Radiesse(r) dermal filler is safe, effective and long lasting.
