Radiesse®
Radiesse® is a structural dermal filler which firms, lifts, and replaces volume, while also acting as a biostimulator to enhance collagen production and effectively provide a supporting scaffold system beneath the skin.
How does it work?
Radiesse® is made from naturally occurring Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)microspheres which are suspended in a gel. Upon injection, the Radiesse® CaHA gel matrix provides immediate volume improvement. The CaHA particles then integrate into your skin and create a “Scaffold” that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin leading to long lasting outcome and improvement.
Radiesse® is excellent to address areas of fat and volume loss in the face, especially lines, wrinkles and hollowing in the cheeks and lower face. It is very effective for jaw definition.
Hand Rejeuvination
Radiesse is one of our most effective treatments for the hands, rejuvenating and replacing loss of volume as we age. Next to the face, the hands are one of the most visible areas of the body and are subjected to external ageing factors such as sun exposure, weather and friction forces. These external factors are coupled with internal factors such as nutrition, overall health and medication to affect the overall aesthetic appearance of the hands. Ageing of the hands is characterised by irregular surface pigmentation, thinning of the skin and decrease in elasticity. Volume loss leads to increased exposure of tendons, pronounced veins and bony appearance. Radiesse is injected to restore hand volume and smooth out the signs of ageing. It continues to stimulate the production of the body’s natural collagen over time.
