Radiesse is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue augmentation. Employed for years, Radiesse has proven to be a safe and effective tissue filler. It is long lasting and does not require a skin test because it is the same mineral component found in our bones and teeth. Radiesse® is used to fill out creases and folds in the cheek area and for facial wrinkles to create volume in the face resulting in a healthy and vital appearance. By supplementing the skin's own depleted collagen with Radiesse, frown lines, wrinkles, scars and nasolabial folds can be effectively "plumped", and smoothed out, resulting in a dramatically improved appearance with immediate results that are long lasting with minimal to no downtime.
