Radiesse is a dermal filler that contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It is classified as a biostimulator because it not only provides immediate volume and correction to the treated area but also stimulates the body's natural collagen production over time.
The calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres in Radiesse act as a scaffold, providing immediate structure and support to the injected area. As the gel is absorbed by the body, the microspheres stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that plays a key role in maintaining the skin's elasticity and firmness.
Radiesse is commonly used for facial rejuvenation, addressing wrinkles, folds, and lines. It is often chosen for deeper wrinkles and areas where volume loss has occurred. The biostimulatory effect sets Radiesse apart from some other dermal fillers, as it promotes a longer-lasting improvement by encouraging the body's natural collagen production.
It's important to note that any medical procedure, including the use of dermal fillers, should be performed by a qualified and experienced healthcare professional. If you are considering Radiesse or any other cosmetic procedure, it's recommended to consult with a licensed practitioner who can assess your individual needs and provide guidance on the most suitable treatment for you.
