The Benefits of RADIESSE®
Natural collagen is what gives skin a smooth, supple, youthful appearance. As you age, natural collagen breaks down and resulting in wrinkles and loss of facial volume.
RADIESSE, a volumizing filler, provides an instant lift, filling wrinkles and folds to help restore a more youthful appearance. And it continues to work with your body, stimulating the natural production of collagen for a more refreshed appearance that can last up to a year or more in many patients.
RADIESSE (+) is pre-mixed with an anesthetic called lidocaine for an enhanced treatment comfort. It is a robust filler that is ideal for restoring volume and smoothing wrinkles and folds in the lower face.
