Radiesse®, formerly called Radiance®, is a synthetic dermal filler made of calcium hydroxyapatite. It is used for soft tissue augmentation and to treat skin folds and wrinkles. Calcium hydroxyapatite is an inorganic substance similar to bone. No animals or animal products are used during its production, and no skin testing is needed. When injected into the deep dermis and subcutis, Radiesse® provides a matrix into which the body's own tissue can grow and add volume. In this way, it is used for soft tissue augmentation (e.g. adds volume to cheeks, chin, NLFs), and can help to fill in deep skin folds and wrinkles. We also use Radiesse® to perform a NonSurgical Nosejob, When injected into the deep dermis of the nose, dips and bumps often can be drastically improved without surgery. Also to lift the tip of a "droopy" nose, the base of the columella is infiltrated with Radiesse® which can often obviate a more costly and riskier surgical rhinoplasty. Facial contouring is easily performed without surgery now, by injecting Radiesse just above the Zygoma and Maxillary periosteum, giving you that "high cheekbone" model look. Radiesse™ injection puts a naturally occuring substance under your skin, not a synthetic costly prosthetic implant that requires surgery that is riskier and more costly. Although the implant is "permanent", a Radiesse™ injection can last for years, works immediately and has no "downtown" except for the occasional bruise.. A small needle is used to implant the Radiesse®. Topical and/or local anesthetic is used for pain control during injections. Injections in and around the lip are particularly painful. Complications include bruising, nodule formation (particularly in the lips) and infection. Radiesse® injections have been shown to last for several years. However, individual results may be affected by age, skin type, lifestyle, and muscle activity. Some patients may achieve an optimal correction on their first injection. For other patients, variability in the rate of tissue in-growth following reabsorption of the gel carrier may require additional injections to achieve an optimal correction. RADIESSE® Wrinkle Filler - How It Works Healthy young skin contains collagen that gives it volume, flexibility and strength. As part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing facial volume. This loss of elasticity and volume results in the wrinkles, facial lines and skin laxity that rob your skin of its youthful appearance. Welcome Back Your Own Natural CollagenThe ideal way to achieve wrinkle reduction is by replenishing lost volume. With RADIESSE® wrinkle filler, you welcome back your own natural collagen to smooth out the signs of aging. That's because RADIESSE® wrinkle filler's unique formulation stimulates collagenesis – the production of new collagen – which results in increased volume for natural looking wrinkle correction that may last a year or more in many patients. It's also why more and more cosmetic surgeons, estheticians, and other medical professionals are choosing RADIESSE wrinkle filler for long-lasting facial rejuvenation.

TreatmentIn this day and age, most of us are familiar with the importance of collagen. It's what gives your young skin its full, supple appearance. And when it breaks down, you may begin to see skin laxity and facial wrinkles. When the collagen goes away, it takes facial volume and elasticity with it, leaving you with a face that may look older than how you feel inside. If you aren't ready to grow old gracefully, treatment with RADIESSE® wrinkle filler can bring back your own natural collagen and restore facial volume, with results that may last a year or more in many patients.
