What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an innovative dermal filler designed to provide both immediate and long-term results. Made with Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel, it not only restores volume to areas affected by wrinkles and aging but also stimulates the natural production of collagen. This dual-action benefit sets it apart from traditional fillers, offering a semi-permanent effect that improves skin quality over time. With its ability to lift, contour, and rejuvenate, Radiesse is a preferred choice for those seeking natural-looking, long-lasting results.

How Radiesse Works
Radiesse contains tiny microspheres made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) suspended in a gel. These microspheres stimulate your body to naturally produce more collagen and elastin, improving skin structure and elasticity. Over time, both the gel and microspheres are safely absorbed by your body, leaving behind your own natural collagen for long-lasting results.
