Radiesse
$850
Radiesse is a collagen-stimulating dermal filler that adds immediate volume and structure while helping your skin build its own support over time. It’s ideal for contouring cheeks, jawline, and hands.
Lift and Define with Radiesse
Radiesse is made from calcium hydroxylapatite, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Once injected, it provides instant lift and volume while stimulating long-term collagen production. This dual action makes it effective not only for filling deep lines and wrinkles but also for restoring structure in areas like the cheeks, jawline, and even the backs of the hands.
As the gel absorbs, your skin continues to rebuild its own framework, giving results that are smooth, firm, and long-lasting. It’s especially useful for patients looking for natural contouring and gradual skin improvement without the need for ongoing touch-ups every few months.
