What is Radiesse?
Radiesse is a unique dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. Unlike other fillers that primarily add volume, Radiesse also stimulates collagen production, which enhances the skin’s structure and firmness over time. Radiesse is used for facial contouring and hand rejuvenation, making it a versatile choice for patients seeking non-surgical solutions to combat the signs of aging.
