At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group in San Francsico Radiesse is a dermal filler which uses calcium-based microspheres to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the face and other parts of the body. The areas that are targeted are around the nose and mouth (to reduce laugh lines) and the backs of hands (to resolve wrinkles). Radiesse can also be used to treat hollowness and deep folds on the face.
Why should you pick Radiesse over other dermal fillers? It offers a number of benefits:
Radiesse contains calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres in a gel solution. When injected, Radiesse adds volume to the skin. Even after the first effects, Radiesse works to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. The CaHA microspheres are eventually absorbed by the body, leaving behind only the natural collagen that was created.
The treatment should be done by a qualified Radiesse professional and can be completed within 15 minutes. The Radiesse injection feels like a normal injection. Given the sensitivity of the facial nerves, though, the medical professional may use a topical numbing cream and then provide an ice pack or painkiller afterward to manage any pain or discomfort.
