Are you looking for a way to address wrinkles and sagging skin? Radiesse might be the answer you’ve been looking for. It’s a popular dermal filler that can add volume and definition to your face, giving you a more youthful appearance.
What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel. CaHA is a naturally occurring substance in your body, so it’s biocompatible and generally safe for most people.
How Does Radiesse Work?
Radiesse works in two ways:
- Immediate Volume: The gel component of Radiesse provides immediate volume to fill in wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines (lines around the mouth).
- Collagen Stimulation: The CaHA microspheres stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen. Collagen is a protein that gives your skin its structure and elasticity. As you age, your collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. By stimulating collagen production, Radiesse can help to improve the overall appearance of your skin.
Benefits of Radiesse
There are several benefits to choosing Radiesse for your dermal filler needs:
- Natural-looking results: Radiesse can provide subtle or dramatic results, depending on your desired outcome.
- Long-lasting effects: Radiesse can last up to a year or more, with some people experiencing even longer results.
- Relatively safe: Radiesse is generally well-tolerated with a low risk of side effects.
- Versatile treatment: Radiesse can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including wrinkles, folds, and volume loss.
Who is Radiesse Right For?
Radiesse is a good option for people who are looking to:
- Reduce the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles and folds
- Restore volume to their face
- Improve the overall appearance of their skin
Who should not use Radiesse?
You should not use Radiesse if you have an allergy to any component of the product, lidocaine or medicines like it. If you have a history of severe allergies, if you have a bleeding disorder, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding then you should not use Radiesse.
