Radiesse

Radiesse is a long lasting dermal filler available to fill and correct smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth. Radiesse is made of calcium based microspheres that stimulate your skin to produce new collagen. The results are immediate and long lasting but not permanent.

Procedure Information

As Dr. Lo injects Radiesse under the skin, the gel and Radiesse Microspheres form a “scaffold”, stimulating collagen production and encouraging tissue growth in and around the injection area. This “partnership” between Radiesse and your own body creates a natural, smooth look. Radiesse gradually wears off and retreatment is typically needed after a year or more.

Additional Information

Radiesse is made from non animal sources so there is no chance of transmitting a disease. Additionally, no prior allergy testing is needed for Radiesse unlike bovine collagen injections.

Concurrent Procedures

This procedure can be performed at the same time as other cosmetic surgery, such as an eyelid lift or laser resurfacing.
