Radiesse is one of the newest non-surgical facial contour fillers that deliver an immediate, long lasting result. Radiesse is made of very tiny smooth calcium hydroxyl apatite (CaHA) micro spheres. The micro sphere particles form a scaffold through which your body's own collagen grows, which produces the desired long term effect. Unlike collagen and Hyaluronic acid, Radiesse results in immediate correction as a tissue filler and an extended correction through tissue regeneration.

 

 

The CaHA that makes up the product has been used for decades and is safe and bio- compatible.
 

 

Technique:
After a thorough cleansing of the area to be treated, and application of a topical anesthetic Radiesse is injected under the skin in a continuous stream through a very fine needle into the appropriate facial planes needed for augmentation and contouring.
