Radiesse
Versatile and effective dermal filler option for those looking to enhance facial contours, reduce wrinkles, and rejuvenate the appearance of their hands.
About Radiesse
Immediate Volume and Lift: Radiesse provides immediate volume and correction of wrinkles and folds upon injection.
Stimulates Collagen Production: Over time, the CaHA microspheres stimulate the body to produce its own natural collagen. As the gel carrier gradually absorbs, the newly formed collagen remains, providing extended benefits.
Radiesse is a popular dermal filler used in cosmetic procedures to reduce wrinkles and folds, particularly around the nose and mouth. It is also used for hand rejuvenation and to add volume to areas such as the cheeks and jawline.

One of the things that makes dermal fillers so great is there's little downtime. Immediately after the treatment, there may be redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness and / or itching at or near the injection site. These symptoms are normal and should resolve within a few days. But for this reason we do not recommend scheduling your appointment right before a big event.

Results can be seen immediately after treatment and will get better over the course of 2-3 weeks as the filler integrates with your own tissue. Filler can last anywhere from 6-24 months depending on the filler used and the injection area.
