Hyaluronic Acid fillers are by far the most popular dermal filler in use for cosmetic injections, but there is another kind of filler that is a better choice for certain indications.
While Hyaluronic Acid fillers are great for projection and replacing volume, Radiesse is the optimal choice for patients requiring vertical lifting and contouring. It is ideal for building structure and where definition is required such as restoring or creating a contoured jawline. It is often preferable for defining a male face where a chiseled look may be considered more attractive than a rounded look. In addition to being ideal for specific indications, it rejuvenates the skin by naturally stimulating production of collagen.
How does Radiesse work?
Radiesse is a semi-solid, cohesive injectable implant that is made from calcium hydroxylapatite which occurs naturally in the body and is the primary mineral constituent of bone and teeth. The semi-solid nature of this filler is created by suspending the calcium hydroxylapatite in a gel-carrier. At about two or three months after the procedure the gel carrier starts to be absorbed by the body. The calcium beads of the filler remain and the body then builds collagen to fill in the spaces where the gel carrier had previously existed. The calcium is also bio-degradable. As it gradually breaks down the newly produced collagen remains. The result is a long-term yet non-permanent restoration and augmentation. The filler will last for up to 12 months but the skin tightening benefit will remain.
Radiesse is the only dermal filler indicated for use in the hands. For people who have hands that have become skinny in appearance with visibly apparent bones, tendons and veins, Radiesse can restore volume to the hands making the appear youthful and attractive. Over time it also produces collagen to tighten the skin on the hands.
Radiesse comes in 1.5 cc syringes and is great value! When lifting, contouring and defining are the goal a little goes a long way. Our doctor and nurse injectors will let you know if we feel Radiesse will be the ideal filler for you at the time of your filler procedure.
