Procedure
Radiesse filler contains calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres which are suspended in a water-based gel solution. It is injected into the subcutaneous fatty layer and it adds instant volume to the treated area. It also helps to keep lasting results because it stimulates the body’s own natural collagen. Over time, the gel is absorbed and metabolized by the body leaving behind some natural collagen for rejuvenation. However, additional product will need to be injected within 1 year to restore the facial volume after resorption.
