Radiesse

Healthy young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility and strength. As part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing facial volume.

This loss of elasticity and volume results in the wrinkles, facial lines and skin laxity that rob your skin of its youthful appearance. Biocompatible RADIESSE wrinkle filler is proven to stimulate the growth of your own natural collagen that is lost in the aging process. once injected, Radiesse takes on the form of the tissue surrounding it and becomes fairly soft when it’s injected into fat. This unique action not only provides volume replacement to wrinkles, folds and sunken depressions but also stimulates the body to produce new collagen in order to creat fullness and contours of a youthful, healthy appearance.

Radiesse® dermal filler is indicated for the correction of moderate to severe folds and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, “smile lines”, and deep “frown lines”. It is also an alternative to plastic surgery to contour the jaw line, resulting in a smoother, firmer jaw line as well as to restore the natural contours of the cheeks. (cheek augmentation)

Some of the more common but temporary Radiesse side effects include mild swelling and bruising and pain surrounding the site of injection, but this typically subsides after 24 hours with the help of ice. Patients should avoid excessive aspirin use to avoid extreme bruising with the treatment.
