Radiesse®™ Before and After Photos.
WHAT IS RADIESSE®™?
Radiesse®™ , is a calcium hydroxyapatite based long term non-surgical filler. This synthetic form of material found in bone and teeth, is created in tiny spheres for injection into soft tissue of the skin. The spheres gradually dissolve away into bone or fat and are then filled in by collagen cells, subsequently enhancing the correction.
HOW DOES RADIESSE®™ WORK?
It immediately lifts and adds volume to the areas being treated, as well as stimulates your skin to produce collagen. Radiesse®™ has an extensive record of safe clinical use. No skin test is required and there is no downtime. It is an alternative to the hyaluronic acid-based injectables.
