Radiesse dermal filler.

Radiesse is a dermal filler of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in a gel that soft tissue forms around, and it stimulates your own collagen as it works. Results appear immediately, last a year or more from a single under-an-hour treatment, and take on the character of your own skin.

Overview

The filler that builds collagen

Radiesse® is a modern dermal filler for radiant, youthful looking skin. It can be used in reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, both with amazing results. After a treatment with Radiesse®, facial areas that once gave you trouble will begin to mimic the look of your own healthy, youthful skin. The Radiesse® filler will take on characteristics of adjacent soft tissue for natural results to the touch. And because Radiesse® stimulates real growth, your need for plastic surgery treatments may begin to decrease after many treatments. Perlane® and Restylane® are two other filler types that we currently use. Radiesse® is FDA approved for treatment of wrinkles and can conveniently be performed in our offices. Fuller, smoother skin starts with a consultation.

How it works

Microspheres, gel and your own collagen

Non-allergenic and non-toxic, Radiesse® is becoming the choice of millions of plastic surgery patients and doctors. Radiesse® is composed of thousands of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres, which are held together in an injectable gel. This gel contains a natural material combination, consisting of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, glycerin and sterile water. Additionally, the gel composition is what allows Radiesse® to smoothly enter your body at the injection site. Because Radiesse® is a filler, it is designed to stay in place and acts as padding at the location it is injected. Radiesse® works by using the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres as a filler, which soft tissue forms around. Uniquely, it can stimulate your body to produce collagen, which makes Radiesse® one of the most natural plastic surgery options available.
