This treatment is commonly used to address nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheeks, jawline, and the backs of hands. Radiesse® is ideal for lifting sagging skin, contouring the jawline, and rejuvenating the hands.

How Does Radiesse® Work?
Radiesse® is formulated from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Once injected, the gel immediately provides volume to the treated area, smoothing wrinkles and enhancing facial contours. Over time, the CaHA microspheres stimulate your body’s natural collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful skin. As the gel is gradually absorbed, the newly formed collagen provides long-lasting structural support and volume.
