Radiesse is a dermal filler that’s injected under the skin to plump up and smooth wrinkles and folds. It’s made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier.
How it works:
Radiesse stimulates the body’s natural collagen production
The CaHA particles form a scaffold that encourages fibroblasts to produce collagen
Radiesse can immediately improve the appearance of wrinkles and folds
Where it’s used:
Radiesse is often used around the nose and mouth to reduce the appearance of smile lines, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines
It can also be used to plump up the skin on the hands
How long it lasts:
Radiesse can last up to two years, but the exact duration depends on how quickly your body metabolizes it and the health of your skin
