Radiesse is a brand of dermal filler commonly used in cosmetic procedures to address signs of aging, particularly for adding volume and minimizing wrinkles and folds in the skin. It is made from calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel-like solution. This substance is biocompatible and similar to minerals found naturally in the body.
When Radiesse is injected into the skin, it provides immediate volume and helps to fill in lines and wrinkles. However, its effects go beyond that of a traditional filler. Over time, the calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres stimulate the body's natural production of collagen, a protein that contributes to the skin's elasticity and structure. This means that Radiesse not only offers immediate results but also promotes long-term improvements in skin quality.
Radiesse is often used to treat facial areas like nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and cheeks, but it can also be employed to rejuvenate hands and other parts of the body. The results are typically more durable compared to some other fillers, lasting for a year or more. Like any cosmetic procedure, it should be administered by a qualified medical professional who is experienced in dermal filler injections.
