Radiesse is a popular injectable dermal filler used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and improve skin contours. Made from a unique calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microsphere suspension, Radiesse not only provides immediate lifting and plumping effects but also stimulates your body’s own collagen production over time. It’s a fantastic choice for those looking to achieve a more youthful, defined appearance with results that can last up to a year or more.
Why Choose Radiesse?
Radiesse offers immediate improvement and ongoing collagen stimulation, providing a natural look that ages gracefully. Whether you’re looking to define your contours, fill deep lines, or boost volume, Radiesse is a reliable, safe option to help you look and feel your best.
What to Expect
Radiesse is typically used for enhancing the cheek and jawline. The treatment is minimally invasive, involves a quick injection process, and most patients return to daily activities shortly afterward.
