Radiesse, formerly known and marketed as Radiance, is cosmetic dermal filler that is used to fill in and alleviate the appearance of lines, wrinkles and facial folds. It provides long lasting results whose effects can be seen immediately.

Radiesse filler injections are comprised of calcium hydroxylatite, a substance that is naturally found in the body. It is widely used in the treatment of deep lines and wrinkles found around the nose and mouth – including marionette lines, smile lines and nasolabial folds.

Patients that are showing obvious signs of aging are excellent candidates for Radiesse dermal filler treatments. Radiesse can also be used as an alternative to implant surgery plumping up a patient’s nose, cheeks or chin.

Radiesse treatments are simple and can be done right in the doctor’s office. The treatment doesn’t take long , but the results are long lasting. Patients can see immediate results with continued improvement up to a week.
