What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is used to restore lost facial fat and reshape facial contours. The filler is commonly used to treat:
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Lines extending downward from the corners of your mouth (Marionette lines)
- Parentheses or lines around the corners of your mouth
- Loss of jaw definition and volume
- Hollow cheeks
- Hand Rejuvenation
This injectable contains microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a material similar to one that naturally occurs in your bones. The microspheres are suspended in a safe, smooth gel. After being injected, the microspheres provide immediate results by working like a scaffold or supportive structure for your skin. The result is fuller, thicker, more youthful-looking skin.
The gel is harmlessly absorbed by your body. The microspheres remain for about a year or longer, providing volume in areas of fat loss. Over time, collagen begins to surround the microspheres. Once the microspheres degrade and disappear, the volume in your skin will remain for some time because of the new collagen.
