Radiesse is an injectable filler designed to address wrinkles and folds, primarily on the face. By stimulating the production of collagen, a vital component of healthy skin, Radiesse promotes natural rejuvenation. The results are immediate and can last up to two years, making Radiesse a sought-after choice for dermal filling. In addition to facial applications, Radiesse can be used to plump the skin on the hands and treat facial fat loss resulting from HIV infection.
How Radiesse Work
Radiesse consists of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) gel microspheres that provide immediate volume upon injection. The gel stimulates the production of collagen, allowing your skin to replenish its own filler over time. The unique structure of the gel, containing hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon, mimics connective tissue. Eventually, the CaHA is absorbed by the body, leaving behind your naturally generated collagen, which sustains the results for an extended period.
Benefits
Radiesse is primarily used to address wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, commonly known as laugh lines or nasolabial folds. It effectively fills in these areas, providing a more youthful appearance. Additionally, Radiesse can be utilized to treat deep scars and restore lost volume on the back of the hands. It has shown positive results in individuals with facial fat loss due to HIV infection.
