Radiesse: Formerly known as Radiance, Radiesse is a FDA approved filler, which can be used toward soft tissue augmentation. Radiesse is synthetic form of a natural product which exist in our body. It is made out of microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in a biocompatible gel. Raddiesse could be used to smoothen out the naso-labial fold- commonly known as laugh lines., as well as oral commissures. Raddiesse could be used in other parts of face such as cheeks. Results can last up to 2 years. Over time Radiesse will break down and be safely and naturally absorbed into your body.
