DERMAL FILLERS
Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a synthetic dermal filler made of calcium hydroxylapatite. When injected into the deep dermis and subcutis, Radiesse® acts as a scaffold under the skin providing structure and stimulating your own collagen to grow. This natural collagen continues for several months. The results are immediate correction and long lasting.
It is used for soft tissue augmentation and can help to fill in deep skin folds and wrinkles. It is helpful for jawline definition, chin, cheek augmentation, temple augmentation, and even in the hands. The effects of a Radiesse® treatment can last six months to one year.
Immediately after injection, the areas will be iced for 15 minutes. There is no exercise for the rest of the day and no dental work for two weeks. It is normal after injections to have temporary bruising and swelling that can last a week.
