Radiesse is a type of cosmetic filler used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and add volume to the skin. It is made from a substance called calcium hydroxylapatite, which is a mineral naturally found in our bones.

When Radiesse is injected into the skin, it fills in wrinkles or adds volume and stimulates your body to produce new collagen. Collagen is a protein that keeps your skin firm and elastic. Over time, as Radiesse breaks down naturally, the new collagen continues to support the skin, giving you long-lasting results.

FAQs Radiesse

Radiesse is primarily used as a dermal filler to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and facial folds. It is also commonly used to add volume to areas of the face that may have lost fullness due to aging, such as the cheeks or the back of the hands. Radiesse helps achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance by restoring volume and smoothing out wrinkles.

Radiesse works by injecting calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel into the skin. These microspheres provide immediate volume and lift to the treated area. Additionally, Radiesse stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, which helps maintain the results even after the body has absorbed the filler. Over time, the calcium hydroxylapatite breaks down. It is safely metabolized, leaving behind the new collagen that continues to support the skin.

Radiesse is considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. It is FDA-approved for cosmetic use on the face and hands. Common side effects are generally mild and may include redness, swelling, bruising, or pain at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days. Rare but more serious side effects include lumps, infections, or allergic reactions. It is important to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider before treatment.
