What is Radiesse?

Radiesse is an injectable facial filler used to rejuvenate the face and make it look younger. It is made up of a similar substance to our bone, called calcium hydroxlapatite (see video, below). Radiesse, when injected, instantly smooths wrinkles and later is replaced in the body by collagen. Collagen is the substance of use and provides elasticity to skin. Because of this duel affect, Radiesse can last between 8 months to over a year in some patients. It is thus important to work only with expert injectors who not only can diminish wrinkles, but can work to create balance and harmony to the face with a more global approach.
