There are two formulations of Radiesse® — Radiesse and Radiesse (+). If you and your provider agree that Radiesse is right for you, they’ll design a treatment plan based on your desired outcome.
That’s probably no surprise—but do you know exactly how? Two important components in how the skin changes over time are collagen and elastin, because they help keep facial lines and wrinkles at bay.
Collagen and elastin both contribute to the skin’s strength and elasticity. Unfortunately, aging and environmental factors (think sun damage) make it harder for your body to produce these components. Reduced amounts of collagen and elastin can cause facial skin to wrinkle and sag, stealing from your youthful appearance.
CaHA particles then integrate into your skin and create a “scaffold” that stimulates production of collagen and elastin. As the gel carrier breaks down, a firm network of collagen fibers forms. Formed collagen and elastin replaces the correction provided by the gel carrier, smoothing lines and promoting renewed skin structure.
Jawline
Radiesse (+) can improve jawline contour. For adults over the age of 21. Effective improvement in moderate to severe loss of jawline contour.
Smile Lines
Deep smile lines, called nasolabial folds can give your face a tired and aged expression.
Corners of the Mouth
Lines called oral commissures give the mouth a downturned appearance, which can make you look tired, angry, or sad.
Marionette Lines
Lines under your mouth can make you look like you’re scowling, even when you’re not.
Pre-jowl Folds
The areas on either side of the chin can look hollow as volume loss causes the skin to sag along your jawline and create folds.
Chin Wrinkles
The lines across your chin can distract from your smile and make you look older.
Hands
Radiesse can enhance the appearance of hands by restoring volume loss, which contributes to the signs of aging, and minimizing the visibility of veins and tendons.
