What Are Radiesse Fillers?
Radiesse fillers are a type of dermal filler used for non-surgical facial rejuvenation to smooth out wrinkles and restore lost volume in the skin. Radiesse is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. This unique composition helps stimulate the body’s own collagen production, which is essential for maintaining youthful-looking skin. As the gel provides immediate volume and smooths out wrinkles, the calcium microspheres work beneath the surface to encourage collagen synthesis over time, leading to longer-lasting results. Radiesse is commonly used to address signs of aging, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and volume loss in the cheeks or hands.
One of the advantages of Radiesse over other dermal fillers is its ability to provide both immediate and long-term results. The immediate effects are noticeable right after the treatment, as the filler smooths the skin and restores volume to the treatment areas. Over time, as the collagen stimulation continues, the skin's texture and elasticity improve, enhancing the overall facial contours and providing natural, youthful-looking results. Radiesse is typically used for mid-to-deep dermal injections, making it especially effective for treating moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. It is also FDA-approved for use in both the face and hands, where volume loss is common with aging.
