RADIESSE

Radiesse was approved by the FDA as a facial filler at the end of 2006 and has been used as a volumizing filler since.  Radiesse consists of calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in an aqueous polysaccharide gel carrier.  Once it is injected, the gel is absorbed over time.  The body then metabolizes the CaHA microspheres, which stimulate the body to produce collagen.

It improves skin quality, texture, tone and firmness.  It can be used in the face, neck, décolletage and other areas of the body.
