For this Condition

Our skin is kept youthful by collagen and elastin but, as we age, we lose some of this support. Your skin may no longer feel as ‘elastic’ or firm as it once was, and your face may lose definition. Radiesse stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin, meaning that you skin stays firm. It is an injectable filler which maintains the contours and definition of your face, correcting wrinkles and folds immediately. Because it stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, you will be able to see sustained improvement in the months after your treatment.

The Treatment

Radiesse is injected using a small needle. It is comprised of Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. This provides immediate volume and correction and continues to work by stimulating the body to produce natural collagen. The gel is absorbed over time and the CaHA metabolised, meaning that all that is left behind is your body’s own natural collagen. Radiesse is also mixed with lidocaine, an anaesthetic, to reduce any pain from the injection.
