Radiesse is a rather unique product used to fill deeper folds in your skin. Because of it's components and duration, Radiesse
The tiny microspheres, made of calcium hydroxylapatite, provide a scaffolding into which your body's own collagen can grow and maintain the material in place. Calcium hydroxylapatite is a natural constituent of bone so you will not need allergy testing. The tiny spheres are injected into the skin within a gel suspension. This gel dissipates as your body's own collagen laces around the spheres, creating a long-lasting correction and smoothing.
New Study Results - Radiesse as a Collagen Builder
Study results are now showing that Radiesse offers some of the same self-collagen production that Sculptra provides, though on a lesser level. Still, this means that even when all the Radiesse has left your skin, some new collagen that your own body produced has taken its place.
Radiesse is a safe, effective and nonsurgical method most often used to lift the depressed fold that runs from the sides of your nose to the sides of your mouth. It is extremely popular with Dr. Fitzgerald's patients both for it's immediate effectiveness and long duration.
