Radiesse

Radiesse

What happens with age? Collagen, the main structural protein which helps our skin feel and look taut and youthful, begins to slow in production, as a result causing our skin to sag.

With Radiesse, you can define your contours with a more lifted and well-defined lower face.

Radiesse is composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier and offers a unique triple effect.

What is CaHA?

Calcium hydroxyapatite, or CaHA, is what makes Radiesse unique as an injectable aesthetic treatment. It’s the first and only CaHA portfolio available that provides both immediate, natural-looking results and long-term improvement—a year or more in many patients.

How Radiesse can help create a more youthful appearance?

Upon injection, the Radiesse CaHA gel matrix provides immediate improvement.. CaHA particles then integrate into your skin and create a “scaffold” that stimulates production of collagen and elastin. As the gel carrier breaks down, a firm network of collagen fibers forms. Formed collagen and elastin replaces the correction provided by the gel carrier, smoothing lines and promoting renewed skin structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the procedure involve?

Radiesse is gently injected into the skin, usually in small amounts, with a very fine needle. One treatment session typically lasts around 30 minutes.

How soon will my skin show signs of rejuvenation after Radiesse?

Generally, the volumization and wrinkle-filling effect will be visible immediately after injection. Radiesse work to lift and define key areas around the lower face for an overall smoother appearance. By stimulating your body’s own natural collagen, the effects of skin quality improvement by Radiesse will continue over time.
