Radiesse® is made of Calcium Hydroxylapatite microspheres which, once injected, provides immediate volume. It continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen. The gel is then absorbed, leaving only your own natural collagen. Your natural collagen provides enhanced wrinkle-reducing benefits. Radiesse® is similar to many other facial fillers but has a thicker consistency – making it ideal for severe lines and wrinkles. For the first several months after treatment, Radiesse® volumizes the skin. Then, it works by stimulating natural collagen growth so the body can continue to diminish lines and wrinkles.
