Radiesse

Radiesse is an injectable dermal filler made of calcium hydroxyapatite in a gel base.  It does not require skin testing because it has the same mineral component as bone and teeth in liquid form.  Radiesse stimulates new collagen production in the tissue after treatment, making the results more natural and longer lasting.  Radiesse can last from 8-18 months, making it a popular and economic product for correction of facial wrinkles, liquid facelifts, non-surgical rhinoplasty and other areas affected by volume loss. 

All injections are performed in the office utilizing topical anesthesia and even mixing the Radiesse with lidocaine, for optimal comfort.  You may have some bruising and swelling after your treatment that should resolve in a few days.  Please stop any blood thinning herbs, tonics, elixers, vitamins and aspirin for 2 weeks before your procedure!

There are many areas that are affected by volume loss as we age.  Fillers have been successfully used to re-volumize earlobes, improve nipple projection and even enhance your love life!  We will discuss your concerns during your appointment and design a customized program to address them.
