As we age, our own natural collagen breaks down and is diminished leading to a loss of facial volume.
Radiesse is an injectable filler, composed of calcium hydroxyapatite, which replenishes the lost collagen under your skin. Radiesse is patented microsphere technology which starts a process called collagenesis, which stimulates the body to produce new collagen and encourage s collagen growth around the injection site.
Upon injection, your skin cells grow around the calcium hydroxyapaite particles. Radiesse provides the volume that is needed and under the skin. It is like a scaffold under the skin allowing your own natural collagen to grow. This process of collagenesis continues for many months. The results of injections typically last many months to a year in most patients.
Radiesse is safely absorbed by your body over time and requires no allergy testing. The results are a soft, pliable filled area, which looks natural. Dr. Michele Green will evaluate your facial anatomy during consultation and will discuss with you how these injections may compliment your existing regimen. Each injection can be adjusted to compliment the changes that occur in your face over time for the best natural looking cosmetic results.
