What is Radiesse®?

Radiesse is an advanced injectable filler composed of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a smooth gel. This biocompatible compound mirrors the body’s natural minerals, ensuring safe and seamless integration. Once injected, Radiesse instantly restores lost volume while stimulating collagen production for gradual, lasting improvement.

Clinically proven and FDA-approved, Radiesse is ideal for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, enhancing definition, and revitalizing the skin’s natural elasticity.
