Q. What is Radiesse?
A. Radiesse is dermal filler made from Calcium Hydroxyapatite particles that are synthesized, biocompatible to stimulate your collagen. It is used to in the face to help with wrinkles, and volume loss from aging. We inject for smile lines, marionette lines and in the jowls and cheeks to give a natural lift.
