Radiesse is one of the longer lasting fillers that we offer in our practice at Nova Cosmetic Center. Radiesse is made of tiny calcium based microspheres which help form a scaffold to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. It is suspended in a natural gel that gradually breaks down over time and is absorbed by your body. Radiesse can be used to fill in unwanted depressions on your face and add overall volume that we lose as we age to restore a more youthful appearance. The results are immediate and can last from 8 months to 1 year or longer depending on how fast your body metabolizes the product. There are minimal side effects from the treatment which are mild swelling, tenderness and bruising at the injection site. Radiesse treatments and amounts are customized for each patient depending on their need. It is FDA approved for naso-labial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Hundreds of thousands of patients have tried Radiesse and love the improvement it has made in their facial appearance.
