Radiesse®

in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Radiesse® is a wrinkle filler used to add volume to the skin over time. It is comprised of Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. Once Radiesse® is injected, it provides immediate volume but continues to work by stimulating the body to produce its own natural collagen. Over time, the gel is absorbed by the body, leaving behind only your own natural collagen.

Who is a Radiesse® Candidate?

Adults who have smile lines, marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, corners of the mouth, and chin wrinkles can often benefit from Radiesse®. Ideal candidates will be healthy with realistic expectations for the outcome of their procedure. Because Radiesse® is biocompatible, clients do not need to undergo allergy testing prior to treatment.

The Radiesse® Procedure

During your Radiesse® treatment, a small, thin needle is used to inject the Radiesse® into the treatment areas. This treatment is usually well-tolerated, and no topical anesthetic is required. The entire treatment session generally lasts less than 30 minutes.
