Radiesse New York City and New Jersey

Imagine young-looking, wrinkle-free skin. For patients with well-defined wrinkles or creases, such as the fold between their nose and mouth (nasolabial folds), injectable fillers are a simple, effective solution. RADIESSE is a safe, long-lasting, natural solution. RADIESSE is the first calcium hydroxylapatite injectable cohesive implant used for soft tissue augmentation. Over the years, it has proven to be a safe and effective alternative for those patients wishing to avoid the potential side effects of bovine and solid implant materials.

How does RADIESSE works?

RADIESSE consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a biocompatible cellulose gel. Initially, it acts as a dermal filler, adding volume beneath the skin. After about 3 months, the microspheres in RADIESSE form a “scaffold” to support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen to create a natural, full, youthful look. Radiesse does more than just temporarily fill in facial lines and wrinkles (it rebuilds your skin’s foundation, without the risks associated with permanent fillers).

What areas can be treated with RADIESSE?

By supplementing your skin’s own depleted collagen, RADIESSE is a safe, effective, time-tested, non-surgical wrinkle treatment that provides immediate results. Our New Jersey and New York City patients choose these treatments for variety of reasons, including improving:

  • Creases that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds)
  • Depressed scars
  • Marionette lines (oral commissures)
  • Deep wrinkle correction
  • Cheek augmentation
  • Correcting facial depressions caused by fat loss
  • Chin augmentation

Practitioners like Obstetricians or Gynecologist and other doctors who are not formally residency-trained and Board Certified to perform RADIESSE dermal filler injections have been found to suffer a much higher rate of complications, as it’s a side interest to them, and not a treatment they’re certified to do all day long. One of the most common complaints is minimal improvement, asymmetries, etc.
